I would like to learn how to make dungeon maps in the wiki format. I am not a programmer but would like to help out in this area. I am an "Older" gamer and I used to sit with quad paper and pen and map out single player dungeons all the time. I have access to charter's of all levels from 274 to 5 and all in between so I can get into any dungeon I need / want to map.I have looked in the "Help" section and didn't see anything on how to make maps.

I did my first map a while ago and I used the following resources:
 
# First I read Greeneye's tutorial from ACMaps. The site is down now, but you can view the tutorial using web archives [http://web.archive.org/web/20101119203103/http://acmaps.com/tutorial/ here].
# I also used Tlosk's ACMapper program, a link to which can be found on the [[Plugins#Standalone Programs|Plugins]] page.
# Finally, I used [http://www.gimp.org/ GIMP] for editing the image with the color and other details.
 
You can view the [[:Category:Unmapped|Unmapped]] category to see what needs doing. I don't think it's a complete list atm though.
 
I think you may want to message [[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] if he doesn't reply to this because I think he has a slightly different way of doing maps now.
 
Hope this helps. --[[User:Arkalor|Arkalor]] 23:34, 16 April 2012 (EST)

How to Make new wiki Maps


I would like to learn how to make dungeon maps in the wiki format. I am not a programmer but would like to help out in this area. I am an "Older" gamer and I used to sit with quad paper and pen and map out single player dungeons all the time. I have access to charter's of all levels from 274 to 5 and all in between so I can get into any dungeon I need / want to map.I have looked in the "Help" section and didn't see anything on how to make maps.

Hi Lanky I did my first map a while ago and I used the following resources:

  1. First I read Greeneye's tutorial from ACMaps. The site is down now, but you can view the tutorial using web archives here.
  2. I also used Tlosk's ACMapper program, a link to which can be found on the Plugins page.
  3. Finally, I used GIMP for editing the image with the color and other details.

You can view the Unmapped category to see what needs doing. I don't think it's a complete list atm though.

I think you may want to message Tlosk if he doesn't reply to this because I think he has a slightly different way of doing maps now.

Hope this helps. --Arkalor 23:34, 16 April 2012 (EST)
