Thank you for the quick reply Chris. It helped a lot. I am new to this and wasn't sure how to use tiles. So I searched for tiles on the example page, and TileCache came up. That's how I got to use it!
Using http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/UsingCustomTiles, OL is accessing tiles in the right format now. But the exact file name does not match with what I produced from a certain bounding box and zoom range. I fear it's projection issues. My updated JS: http://pastie.caboo.se/158268 As you can see, I have set the options for Google-like tiles. My generate_tiles.py configs: minZoom = 10 maxZoom = 16 bbox = (16.981109375,-22.6169453125,17.156890625,-22.5290546875) render_tiles(bbox, mapfile, tile_dir, minZoom, maxZoom) The lat/lng from JS and bbox from generate_tiles are of the same place. At default zoom (14), some of the tiles OL's looking for are: http://localhost:3000/tiles/14/8193/8188.png http://localhost:3000/tiles/14/8192/8188.png http://localhost:3000/tiles/14/8191/8188.png http://localhost:3000/tiles/14/8190/8188.png http://localhost:3000/tiles/14/8189/8188.png listing directory 14: 8964 8965 8966 8967 8968 8969 8970 8971 8972 It's so close! but not quite it. Can anyone offer any advice? Any help is much appreciated.
