First-party data pipeline
All map tiles (Regular, Climate, Elevation) and POI coordinates are now produced from a first-party pipeline that reads SCUMβs level files directly:
- apps/extractor β .NET 8 + CUE4Parse walks every umap and dumps actor placements + the world heightmap and biome / settlement / water masks.
- apps/tiler β Python + Pillow composes the masks into three layers (default colored aerial, biome-tinted climate, hypsometric elevation) and slices them into the SCUM tile pyramid.
- scripts/extract-pois-from-umaps.mjs β filters the actor dump against a curated whitelist and loads the matching points into Postgres.
The earlier scrape from scum-map.com was retired on 2026-05-04 once the first-party pipeline shipped. Their volunteer community helped bootstrap this project β thank you.
Font Awesome
POI category badges and many UI glyphs are rendered server-side from Font Awesome Free (solid set), licensed CC BY 4.0. The icon SVGs are the property of Font Awesome; only our editorial choice of which glyph represents which category is project-specific.
First-party (this project)
- The web app, API, Discord bot, and Tauri overlay (full stack)
- The .pak extractor + Python tiler + POI ingest pipeline (above)
- The wordmark, favicon, PWA icons, custom marker icons, and Tauri overlay icons
- Sector grid + keypad subgrid renderer, route planner, custom-zone editor
- Multi-tenant maps, marker visibility (private / squad / public), squads
Community contributors
Folks from the Discord whose bug reports and ideas have shaped the project. Thank you.
- Sleepyyeit β many overlay and POI bug reports across the v0.4.x and v0.5.x dev cycles, including the POI category regressions and overlay menu / recenter UX feedback.
- Testament β suggested the Ctrl/β+click focuses on a sector shortcut on the web map. Pre-empts every other click handler so it works as a universal navigation gesture.
- ComoAP β surfaced the missing squad ID + add-member flow on the squad detail page, then followed up suggesting squad rename and delete. All three shipped 2026-05-07.
- Zilla β proposed Streamer Mode: a one-click anti-stream-snipe mask covering Steam username, server name, self-pin, squadmate positions, auto-pin events, and downstream PII surfaces. Shipped in overlay v0.5.16.
