-Generates large resolution images of a Minecraft map.
+Github code repository:
+ http://github.com/overviewer/Minecraft-Overviewer
-In short, this program reads in Minecraft world files and renders very large
-resolution images that can be viewed through a Google Maps interface. It
-performs a similar function to the existing Minecraft Cartographer program but
-with a slightly different goal in mind: to generate large resolution images
-such that one can zoom in and see details.
-See some examples here!
-http://github.com/overviewer/Minecraft-Overviewer/wiki/Map-examples
+The Minecraft Overviewer is a command-line tool for rendering high-resolution
+maps of Minecraft worlds. It generates a set of static html and image files and
+uses the Google Maps API to display a nice interactive map.
-Further documentation may be found at
-https://github.com/overviewer/Minecraft-Overviewer/wiki/Documentation
+The Overviewer has been in active development for over a year and has many
+features, including day and night lighting, cave rendering, mineral overlays,
+and many plugins for even more features! It is written mostly in Python with
+critical sections in C as an extension module.
-To contact the developers and other users, go to the site at the top of this
-README, or go to #overviewer on irc.freenode.net.
+Getting Started
+---------------
+All documentation has been consolidated at our documentation site. For
+information on downloading, compiling, installing, and running The Overviewer,
+visit the docs site.
-Features
-========
+http://docs.overviewer.org
-* Renders large resolution images of your world, such that you can zoom in and
- see details
+A few helpful tips are below, but everyone is going to want to visit the
+documentation site for the most up-to-date and complete set of instructions!
-* Customizable textures! Pulls textures straight from your installed texture
- pack!
+Alternatively, the docs are also in the docs/ directory of the source download.
+Look in there if you can't access the docs site.
-* Outputs a Google Map powered interface that is memory efficient, both in
- generating and viewing.
+Examples
+--------
+See examples of The Overviewer in action!
-* Renders efficiently in parallel, using as many simultaneous processes as you
- want!
-
-* Utilizes caching to speed up subsequent renderings of your world.
-
-* Throw the output directory up on a web server to share your Minecraft world
- with everyone!

-Requirements
-============
-This program requires:
-
-* Python 2.6 or 2.7
-* PIL (Python Imaging Library)
-* Numpy
-* Either the Minecraft client installed, or a terrain.png file. See the
- `Textures`_ section below.
-* A C compiler.
-
-If you download a binary package, then some or all of these may not be required.

There are probably some other minor glitches along the way, hopefully they will
be fixed soon. See the `Bugs`_ section below.
-Textures
---------
-The Overviewer uses actual textures to render your world. However, I don't
-include textures in the package. You will need to do one of two things before
-you can use the Overviewer:
-
-* Make sure the Minecraft client is installed. The Overviewer will find the
- installed minecraft.jar and extract the textures from it.
-
-* Install a texture file yourself. This file is called "terrain.png" and is
- normally found in your minecraft.jar file (not "Minecraft.jar", the launcher,
- but rather the file that's downloaded by the launcher and installed into a
- hidden directory). You can also get this file from any of the third party
- texture packs out there.
-
-Biome Tinting
--------------
-With the Halloween update, biomes were added to Minecraft. In order to get
-biome-accurate tinting, the Overviewer can use biome data produced by the
-Minecraft Biome Extractor tool. This tool can be downloaded from:
-http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=80902
-
-If the "biomes" folder is present in the world directory, then the Overviewer
-will use the biome data to tint grass and leaves automatically -- there is no
-command line option to turn this feature on. If this folder does not exist,
-then the Overviewer will use a static tinting for grass and leaves.
-
-Compiling the C Extension
--------------------------
-The C Extension for Overviewer is no longer optional. In addition to
-providing a higher quality image compositing function that looks better on
-maps with lighting enabled, it now does the bulk of the rendering.
-
-If you downloaded Overviewer as a binary package, this extension will already
-be compiled for you.
-
-If you have a C compiler and the Python development libraries set up, you can
-compile this extension like this::
-
- python setup.py build
-
-Note that you need the development headers for your version of Python installed,
-look for a package named 'python-dev', 'python-devel' or similar. Also, some
-Python distributions do not install "Imaging.h" and "ImPlatform.h" properly. If
-you get errors complaining about them, you can get them from the PIL source, or
-at . Just put them in
-the same directory as "overviewer.py".

-Running
--------
-To generate a set of Google Map tiles, use the overviewer.py script like this::

- python overviewer.py [OPTIONS]
