How to put a map on your page
The ATITD wiki gives you two options for generating maps on wiki pages. The Google Maps extension will create a map from location data you enter manually on your page. The Condmaps framework (built on top of Google Maps) will create a combined map from two types of data: location data that you enter manually on your page, as well as centrally-stored locations that are used in maps all over the wiki. Both styles of maps look and act exactly the same once added to your page.
So, when adding a map to your wiki page, your first question is whether it will contain only personal locations (home compound, guild hall, etc.), or whether it might also contain general locations such as chariot stop locations, public mines, and resource locations.
If you might want your map to contain centralized information used elsewhere on the wiki, use a Condmap-style map (see the walkthrough for adding a Condmap to your page).
If your map will only ever contain personal locations, you can use a Googlemap-style map instead (see the walkthrough for adding a Google map to your page).
These walkthroughs cover only the most basic and commonly used settings for sizing the map, displaying a location, and choosing a marker. See below if you want more information on each of these features.
Legends
There are several pre-made map pin legends you can add to your page:
- Maps/Public Mines/Legend (pins for all types of metal and gem mines)
- Maps/Resources/Legend (pins for tar, limestone, red sand, white sand, sulphurous water)
To include a legend on your page, add one of the following lines just below the map.
{{:Maps/Public Mines/Legend}}
{{:Maps/Resources/Legend}}

Marker Pins

With Google-style maps, you can use marker pins that are hosted somewhere other than this wiki, allowing you to create your own custom icons. See the customized icons section on the Google maps page for more information.
Tabbed Information Balloons
Maps can display tabbed information boxes when you click on a marker. The Google Maps page explains the details of how to add that information.
Zooming
If you want your map to have specific coordinate boundaries (such as a map of a particular region), it's helpful to understand how the map's zoom setting interacts with the width and height settings.
When zoom=6, each map pixel is one in-game coordinate. So if you want your top map boundary to be at 100, and your bottom map boundary to be at -100, set the map's height=200.
From there, each change in zoom setting doubles how many in-game coordinates are shown with each map pixel. So at zoom=5, a 200-pixel-high map will show 400 coordinates from top to bottom. At zoom=4, a 200-pixel-high map will show 800 coordinates from top to bottom.
If you want your map to show a certain number of coordinates from left to right or top to bottom, use this table to find the map's height/width at various zoom settings. For example, if your region is 800 coordinates wide and your zoom setting is 3, then the map width should be set to 100 (800 divided by 8).
| Zoom Setting | Height/Width Conversion |
|---|---|
| zoom=1 | height/width= coordinates / 32 |
| zoom=2 | height/width= coordinates / 16 |
| zoom=3 | height/width= coordinates / 8 |
| zoom=4 | height/width= coordinates / 4 |
| zoom=5 | height/width= coordinates / 2 |
| zoom=6 | height/width= coordinates / 1 |
Other Google Maps Customization
The Google Maps page has a listing of all customization tags.
