Currently the uploader is design to work with gilbertus's client.
Source code for the uploader: http://www.privatepaste.com/49bc731812
Download for the uploader: http://www.algeralith.info/MapUploader.zip
The uploader is programmed in c# and uses the DotNetZip Library. It should work with mono, but I have not tested it.
Map Location is: http://algeralith.info/HavenMap/
The map is made in OpenLayers, but I do plan to switch it over to Google Maps API later this week.
I also assume that the world is 5x5 Supergrids, and have the south-east corner mostly mapped.
Uploads and processing are now working fully.
Enjoy!
Is it just me? The map linked here shows me only a blank white screen.

I'd like to see a similar map for world #4, so I started mapping the new world.
I created an uploader for this purpose that can be used to upload all new minimaps to the server, who will then connect them to the already mapped world.
The uploader is currently only compatible with Gilbertus' way of mapping, but I can add support for other methods if desired.
To upload, just copy the uploader to your map folder and run it. You can safely close the uploader while uploading - in that case, it will continue where it left off the next time you run it.
You can also specify a name if you wish - then your uploaded minimaps will add to your score like on Mqrius' map.
By default, the uploader will tell you which supergrid you are in or have been to (ex.), which is useful if you want to know where you are when you just created a new character.
You can turn this off in the configuration file.
Uploader - Windows (54 KB)
Uploader - Linux 32-bit (16 KB)
Uploader - Linux 64-bit (19 KB)
Here's the current state of affairs:
Full map - half size (6.1 MB)
Supergrid D1 (38% explored)
Supergrid E1 (61% explored)
Supergrid E2 (38% explored)
Google Map
Highscore List
The Google Map and the supergrid PNGs auto-update regularly.
Oh, by the way, if you still have lots of sessions of world #3 in your map folder, you might want to move these somewhere else first - after all, there's no real point in uploading them.
Happy mapping!
This map displays fine for me, but after uploading my map pieces, the map does not seem to update at all.
Any advice?
