* Save jpg or png named as player's index to the players folder of the world to change player's icon on map (index is a number assigned for use with ajax when $show_player_names_enable is false). The index can be found in the player's yml file generated by generator.py.
* Other programs (or echo command) can send signals to generator.py via signals.txt in same folder (which will be deleted after read, so must be created by same user/group)
* to maintain stability of your text editor, save the file, close it, then move/copy it to the directory (or save it as something else then rename it to signals.txt).
* Keep in mind that gameid (in game.conf in a subgame folder, and world.mt in a world folder) is NOT case-sensitive: for example, minetest_game has the gameid 'Minetest' (first letter capitalized) but the worlds generated by Minetest client have the gameid 'minetest' (lowercase) in their world.mt
Yet somehow for everything else, gameid in world.mt is the name of the game FOLDER (NOT the name variable in the folder's game.conf)
* the map update function is only able to detect new chunks, and only checks edge chunks if player is present in one

* Installing as cron job is OPTIONAL (and NOT recommended):
(schedules update script every minute that runs the py file unless the py file is not complete [may take longer than 1 minute so
#then start generator which will update player entries on your website (can be made anonymous--see viewchunkymap.php):
sudo python chunkymap/generator.py
```
OPTION 2: IF you are using Ubuntu go to a terminal, cd to this directory,
then switch user to the one that will run minetestserver
(since install-chunkymap-on-ubuntu.sh DOES replace "/home/owner" with current user's home [replace-with-current-user.py, which is automatically called by install, will change /home/owner to current user's directory in each script that install copies to $HOME/chunkymap])
* Rename viewchunkymap.php so it won't be overwritten on update if you want to modify it (or anything you want) then make a link to it on your website or share the link some other way.
# after you do this, the update script will do it for you if you are using /var/www/html/minetest, otherwise edit the update script before using it to get these things updated
