Request to store whole images in the image folder.

Atm the images are split into itemframe map sized chunks and stored with an id number. then per player there is a list of pieces. Wouldnt it be better to store the whole images and when a map is needed just to cut it on the fly? This way I wouldn't have 200 000 small images in a folder for 500 urls that players used. The disadvantage of this is that the folder is unbrowsable to manage. You cannot manage the images in any way. Also the config files per player are unmanagable by a human. Try to find all these small parts of images by id. I wanted to display the images on a site. Together with creator and creation date for moderation.

I see,

Any ideas then how I could moderate the images players use, before they use them?

Hi,

images are stored that way for performances reasons. It was not meant to be manageable by anything else than the ImageOnMap plugin, and the storage will not change.

This being said...

  • A script could be written to reconstruct all single images and post-V3 posters from the stored images. This is not possible for old pre-V3 posters because of the lack of metadata, however.
  • An option could be added to write a copy of each original image into another directory, with appropriate naming.
