Seeing people in the live map
Xeadin:
The problem with this is that the live map is not updated enough to show all of the changes in real-time, let alone showing the positions of the players. Also, most of the player base is stuck at the center of the world-- the Spawn.
This cannot be done currently. It is a possibility, but I doubt Optical would want to pay a fortune just for a minor add-on. The live map also uses up some of the server's resources, which equates to some amount of lag.
arsenic_shark:
I believe what you are talking about is a Dynamic Live map, and we currently have a OverView map.
The map takes 1 hour to render currently so but implementing this dynamic map would cause the server even more lag which wouldn't be the best idea. Also this could cause the server to take longer to restart every time it automatically does it which causes inconvenience to some players.
As of this I see now change in the near future or at least ever.

(I once looked into this so I know that it most likely won't come around.)

Is Opticraft still experiencing instability that Optical described in his news post? Because if it is, then I am talking about perhaps upgrading it AFTER the instability is gone and it is all working efficiently.

I don't see how it would cause such a lag issue. Opticraft is a 300 man server. Most larger servers like ours have the dynamic map which shows players locations. It's not like we're spying, I thought it was a neat feature.
Note, the live map is having issues and optic is aware and has been working on it.

Yeah, some pretty bad issues at that. For instance,

It is not updating in real time. So, I suggest that we wait for Optical to fix the server lag spikes and upgrading the map to real-time before attempting this.
