| - | == Introduction == | + | #REDIRECT [[Category:Fresh Maps]] |
| - | Okay, Hello. This page exists so I can fool around here without mucking up anybody else's hard work (as I tend to do because I'm a bumbling fool most of the time). I'm gonna try to be a cartographer (feel free to snigger) and use this page to tinker with different ways of creating new maps for, well pretty much everywhere. I want to create a system that involves the use of colored ASCII art in a structured way to make creating new maps a lot easier. With that said, please feel free to leave feedback etc etc on the discussion page! | + | |

| - | == Speculation == | + | |
| - | First I want to establish what information is useful in a map. | + | |
| - | World Maps: | + | |
| - | * Terrain (also flight needed/no flight needed?) | + | |
| - | ** Characterize by what fieldcraft skill applies? | + | |
| - | * Cities etc. | + | |
| - | * Paths | + | |
| - | * Altitude | + | |
| - | City Maps | + | |
| - | * Shops | + | |
| - | Both: | + | |
| - | * Can't go there messages - some way to include them | + | |
| - | * Notes on people, animals and places seen and where | + | |
| - | * Some sort of coordinate location system | + | |
| - | * Links to stable places on the map | + | |

| - | * Remember - between <nowiki><code> and </code></nowiki> wiki markup does apply! This means some characters can't be used first onna line (*,#) but also things can be linked from :D<br> | + | |
| - | * Finally got a way for colors to work in ASCII characters: <span style="color:#FFFF00; background:#FF69B4">TEXT</span> YES!!!<br> | + | |

| - | == Cimbra Map Mockup == | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * See [[Map:Cimbra]] | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==To Do== | + | |
| - | * Figure out what all the terrain colors should be | + | |
| - | * Figure out what symbols to use on the map: I want to use symbols for the placeholders that change depending on whether you have to swim, fly, etc to get there | + | |
| - | * Finish fleshing out this map with terrain/locations | + | |
| - | * Organize the key and make it universal | + | |
| - | * Run around making sure everything is accurate and all the coordinates are here | + | |
| - | * Link all the dots on the side to the adjacent areas | + | |
| - | * Make map pages and link them to descriptive pages? | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==Other Notes== | + | |
| - | * http://www.network-science.de/ascii/ - graffit font for title | + | |
| - | * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_color_formatting_help | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Feedback on this scheme would be greatly appreciated: I'm not entirely sure that this way is easier than making actual PNGs of the maps, but it works better for me since all I need is a browser to edit it and I use a bunch of private and public computers etc etc. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Specifically, does this width work on your monitor? I'm gonna check it on all of mine to see... | + | |
