General Questions

|
=================
|
|
|
|
The full map doesn't display even when fully zoomed out!
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Are you using the :option:`-z` or :option:`--zoom <-z>` option on your
|
|
commandline or in settings.py? If so, try removing it, or increasing the value
|
|
you set. It's quite likely you don't need it at all. See the documentation for
|
|
the :option:`zoom <-z>` option.
|
|
|
|
You've added a few feature, but it's not showing up on my map!
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Some new features will only show up in newly-rendered areas. Use the
|
|
:option:`--forcerender` option to update the entire map.
|
|
|
|
How do I use this on CentOS 5?
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
CentOS 5 comes with Python 2.4, but the Overviewer needs 2.6 or higher. See the
|
|
special instructions at :ref:`centos`
|
|
|
|
The background color of the map is black, and I don't like it!
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can change this by using the :option:`--bg-color` command line option, or
|
|
``bg_color`` in settings.py. See the :doc:`options` page for more details.
|
|
|
|
I downloaded the Windows version but when I double-click it, the window closes real fast.
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Overviewer is a command line program and must be run from a command line. It
|
|
is necessary to become at least a little familiar with a command line to run The
|
|
Overviewer (if you have no interest in this, perhaps this isn't the mapping
|
|
program for you).
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, A full tutorial of the Windows command line is out of scope for this
|
|
documentation; consult the almighty Google for tutorials and information on
|
|
the Windows command line. (If you would like to contribute a short tutorial to
|
|
these docs, please do!)
|
|
|
|
Batch files are another easy way to run the Overviewer without messing with
|
|
command lines, but information on how to do this has also not been written.
|
|
|
|
On a related note, we also welcome contributions for a graphical interface for
|
|
the Overviewer.
