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.
 Belgrave, Moderator / Sysop  Talk  Message PM 
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.
