V1.3 Marketplace

Typical use case, you own a big public place and want to put up new things but don't know what to remove - what is few used.

TrafficMap monitors a sim or 1/4sim between two given altitudes and stores the data in a web database. You visualize the traffic on a map on the web.

• Traffic is obtained for each 4m x 4m land square 2m x 2m for 1/4sim
• A background image of the sim can be provided
• scripted agents (BOTs) are not counted
• you can click or drag on map to get trafic details

Demo There is a demo version that works exactly the same but scrambles the dots on map

Rez your TrafficMap anywhere on the sim and click on the colored side it for menu

• Use « and » to see and change all the settings
  • zone part of sim to monitor. full, NE, NW, SE or SW
  • zmin the lower limit altitude to monitor
  • zmax the upper limit altitude to monitor
  • timer how often the sim is checked. 30sec or 60 or more
  • info a text that will appear on the map title
  • image a http link to an image you want as map background (optional)
    • this method rarely works for servers security reasons. Better just send me your image.
    • if you have prim media on the choosen background appears on top face
• turn on to start monitoring. All data is lost when you turn on
• turn off to stop.
• map to get your link to the map.
• refresh to update the beacons without stropping the monitoring. This will also update info and image.

If you changed a setting while monitoring is started you must turn off then on for new settings to be active.

Detailed help for web page

The map is a webpage. It shows a dot for every 4×4 meters square. 2×2 for 1/4sim maps
map script was designed and tested on Firefox, Edge, Chrome for Windows 11 and Mac and even on Android Browsers

• dots are of 6 different colors for 6 traffic levels
• you can show or hide beacons if you sat some
• you can show or hide background if you sat one
• click on the map will display sl coordinates and traffic in upper frame
• drag an area on map displays sum of traffic inside that area. the area will be drown on the map

Old maps - where no traffic was recorded for a month - will be deleted from our database. Snapshot or save page if you want to keep traces

A beacon object is provided. rez some of them at special places and set a tag name in object's description. that tag will appear on the map.

You can put UUIDs of avatars you don't want to count in traffic (you? your bots?) in the notecard Exceptions inside

This object gives you infos about all the TrafficMaps you own and links to map pages.
On the menu you also get a Superlink to all your maps
You can wear it or rez it. Only you can use it.

This tool helps you make an image of your sim.

• Be yourself at the zmin altitude for your map and add the tool
• Click on one of the 5 zone buttons
  • 4 corner markers will be rezzed to help you locate edges of image to get
  • your camera will be placed correctly
  • take the photo to disk
• Click on the tool's frame
  • your camera is released
  • the markers are deleted. they delete self after 10 minutes anyway

You then need to precisely crop you image and name it like your map title (region+info) and send it to me. I'll add it to my server. You don't have to put anything in the image parameter. Leave it to “no”. In some cases I will tell you what to put in image after I uploaded it

Or you can place your image somewhere it can be viewed on the web. Then enter a full http link to it in the image setting. (https://mydomain.com/myimage.jpg) Depending of your hosting this might work or not.

Trick: Use Gyazo to make the image. then on gyazo image, right-click on image to “open image in a new tab” You get only image.
copy the url (looks like https://i.gyazo.com/32a7951c47231643920587a3a82d0381.jpg) and set it in image setting. The B/W option will not be available when using this trick.

Tech note the image setting can contain:

• a link to an image file, must start with https:
• name of an image that exists in my server, like myimage.jpg
• anything else, if an image “region info.jpg” (like the title of your map) exists in my server it will be used
• if nothing works a “no background” image will show
