Is there any special way to get a map into 100 squares, all separate images? Greggacam [Talk • Message • PM • Contributions]
- To see how the maps are put together, either look at the code used on one of the Area pages or read the instructions at Category:Needs Map. You are right in guessing that they are all separate images.

- I read that, I'm wodnering how you get it into those separate images. The FSGuide maps are just one image and the games' are also one. Greggacam [Talk • Message • PM • Contributions]
- The maps on fallenswordguide AND the game are also made up of the individual images except there is no spacing between the images in the game. I get my maps by going to the game's map page (while I am in an area) and copying the source. I then replace all the html code between the image urls with | and change it all to wiki format.

- Actually, it's cellspacing="1" which I use. If we used cellpadding="1" instead, you'd end up with 2px between each image and that extra space ends up not looking as nice.

- Thanks, I'm making Pennalor Swamps (North) right now, are there any possible shortcuts around copying the whole previous row and filling in the numbers? Greggacam [Talk • Message • PM • Contributions]
- HCS made it easy by adding their map feature. Now all you have to do is copy the source code from that, remove all the html, add the coordinate numbers and wiki markup, and in maybe 15 minutes you should have the complete map ready to add to the wiki! Personally, I use Notepad and find the 'replace all' to be quite helpful...

- Replace All is genius thanks! Greggacam [Talk • Message • PM • Contributions]
- You just need to be sure to go through and make sure each image is on a separate line. Also, if you don't want to do the MapNotes, I can do them for you later.

- No thanks I only have one more Note to go so I might as well do it, they're pretty easy. Greggacam [Talk • Message • PM • Contributions]
Done! I'm so proud my first map :) I'll be making a lot more in the future I can tell. Thanks for helping me! Greggacam [Talk • Message • PM • Contributions]
