Amazing! Is it going to be possible to show units too? I don't see them in the data for each tile. [/impatient mode]

I did a bit more work on this, you can see inside cities as well now. New url: http://test02.geodata.no/webviewer2/ The pages takes some time to load, especially the first time you load it.

And I haven't implemented any mechanism for transferring data from the mod to the web viewer, right now I'm just manually copying files produced by the mod.

It needs modified files... but I don't think it needs a mod per se at the Pitboss host or with each player. If the game is created with "Lock Modified Assets" unchecked, anyone can overlay the modified Python code in place and connect to the PB host. You'll get the "files out of sync" error but as long as everyone trusts each other that's not a problem.

I have added support for choosing which game to view from a list of games, so I could add ongoing RB games if anybody's interested. I think most of our PBEMs are created with "Lock Modified Assets" unchecked. If you're playing in a bts pbem here and want it viewable for lurkers you can send me a save at novice.rb@gmail.com where you've played your turn and haven't ended turn - and send me your password as well. I can use that to put up (global) spoiler data for that game in the web viewer. Getting a few ongoing games up and running in the viewer will probably help us identify key feature requests for the viewer. Similarly I could borrow someone's pitboss login to take a snapshot of an ongoing pitboss game. I need to test how the python code behaves in a simultaneous turns environment first though. Working with PBEM's is safer since I don't risk taking down the server.

Could make for real easy posthumous analysis of games without having to piece together stuff from player threads. The dominant part of the data dump is the map info, whose size depends on the map size. About 2MB per snapshot currently for a typical map, although I could make the json a lot more compact at the cost of readability (so it's a task best saved for later). Also, snapshots can be compressed a lot using zip, but the viewer needs the uncompressed json.

Does the map need to be uploaded with each turn sent, or can it remember the base of it?
