has anyone any experience with load_node? it's seems to crash the
worldserver at times Chaz agent1 webmaster@shatteredplattersdotcomDec 6, 2002, 9:32pm
The docs say it's mostly just for the world admin tool so I wouldn't bother using that.

My experience has been very hazardous too, and I've crashed world
servers a few times. It seems that the safest way is to delete all terrain first, and then start uploading full pages, one at a time, on an empty database. You can not just create a node, it must be done according to certain rules when you make a page. It's a bit complicated: A node must have EITHER all same textures and heights, OR be the smallest node (which is 8x8 cells) The largest node you can have is the size of a page, 128x128 cells. if this size has either different heights or textures, it must be chopped into 4 equal nodes of 64x64 cells. If any of these have different altitudes or textures, chop it again into 4 equal parts (32x32 cells). carry on doing this until you get to an 8x8 size: this is the smallest size allowed. Once you have all the nodes of a page, you can start sending them to the server, in the correct order, which is from east-to-west (X), send each 'column' of nodes south-to-north (Z) (east-to-west is the outer i.e. slower loop). To modify the terrain partially, you should not use the load_node method.
