AjaxLife updated

Development

New AjaxLife features and fixes. Yay.

New features:

  • Minimap display - shows a heightmap of your surroundings, plus marks positions of everyone in the sim in the same way as LL’s minimap.
  • Your position in the top-left corner - because it’s helpful to know where you are. Also, this one is better about updating if you’re involuntarily moved.

Bugfixes:

  • Teleporting to a position no longer consistently fails.

Known issues

  • The minimap displays you twice - once as a yellow indicator and once as a green dot.
  • You rotate on the spot. :P
  • Logging into the Havok4 beta fails unless you have recently done so using an official LL client.
  • The minimap doesn’t work in Internet Explorer - and it never will, given IE doesn’t support the canvas tag.
  • The minimap is completely useless at higher altitudes.
  • The minimap doesn’t display the whole sim unless you teleport around it. It should display everywhere in your vicinity, however.

Also, if the minimap is causing problems for anyone, please let me know! In testing it didn’t have any performance impact, but…

UPDATE: Fixed some potential issues in IE. Also, attached a screenshot I intended to attach but forgot.

UPDATE 2: Fixed a bug causing the map to be offset by 16 pixels metres.
