Maps

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.

If you haven't noticed already, the map is listed in a table format. What happens is, cell padding and such makes space around each cell, which is the white space you see around each image.

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]

See, once you have it figured out, everything is suddenly easy!

Arrow

Is there a way to make an external link without the little arrow picture after it?
 Greggacam [Talk • Message • PM • Contributions]

Use

<span class="plainlinks">[external link]</span>

You could have also looked at the code you copied from my signature to use in yours since that has some really modified internal and external links.

Oh ya I see now, thanks.

Two Questions

Hello, I first want to say I'm sorry for taking your idea of the overhead border, I guess I didn't realize how similar the two signatures looked. And I also have two questions, I was hoping you could answer.

First, I was wondering how to make a "space" in WikiCode. After the left border of my signature I wanted to make a space before Greggacam but I couldn't do it, I figured there might be a way to make a space in code. And I also wanted to verify how to make a sortable table. I think you just put the tag

class="sortable"

in the beginning of the table, but I'm not sure. Thanks!
 Greggacam [Talk • Message • PM • Contributions]

There isn't wikicode for a space, but there is an html character code for that ( ). Also, you're correct on that sortable table class.

Medals

Would it be good if I created a page for every medal image so people could just type

{{Loyalty (Bronze)}} 

into their page to put up an image? Also do you see anything wrong with my sig that's making the line underneath?
 Greggacam [Talk • Message • PM • Contributions]

It's not necessary, but it wouldn't hurt. However, I'd probably name them something like Template:Loyalty-B, S, G, or C. Also, I think it's almost to the point where we have to start making sub-categories for some of the templates so we don't have to spend so much time looking through them for the one we want... example Guild Templates, Player Templates, Image Templates, etc.
