Tutorial: Adding custom maps to the wiki
Choose a map_identifier, for example: FFTHacker_Alternate_Sweegy_Woods
Take the following screenshots, either with Ganesha DX (WiP) or with the Map Viewer.
Press the following keys to adjust the map viewer:
- X : Makes the axis lines disappear
- Shift+b : Turns the background magenta
PS: The following filenames must use underscores _ instead of spaces!
| Azimuth | Altitude | Magnify | Field of View | Suffix | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0° | 90° | 100% | Isometric | _bev.png | FFTHacker_Alternate_Sweegy_Woods_bev.png |
| 45.0° | 30° | 100% | Isometric | _45.png | FFTHacker_Alternate_Sweegy_Woods_45.png |
| 135.0° | 30° | 100% | Isometric | _135.png | FFTHacker_Alternate_Sweegy_Woods_135.png |
| 225.0° | 30° | 100% | Isometric | _225.png | FFTHacker_Alternate_Sweegy_Woods_225.png |
| 315.0° | 30° | 100% | Isometric | _315.png | FFTHacker_Alternate_Sweegy_Woods_315.png |
Edit the screenshots with Photoshop/GraphicsGale/Affinity Photo or whatever you prefer in order to set Magenta to a transparent color and to crop the images to their smallest sizes.
Upload all of these files in one go with Special:BatchUpload
Create a new page with the map_identifier as the title with the following contents:
{{ #printmap: map_identifier }} [[Category:Maps]] [[Category:Custom Maps]]
For example:
{{ #printmap: FFTHacker_Alternate_Sweegy_Woods }} [[Category:Maps]] [[Category:Custom Maps]]
Preview to make sure everything is working, then save!
