Thumb images
Map images are shown as thumbnail images (small images) to prevent slow load and performance issues.
Thumb images should be in webp format, 300px wide (the maximum allowed thumbnail size in user preferences). Height doesn't matter.
Changing the format and resizing can be done with an online tool or locally. Author recommends using libwebp — the official webp CLI utility, although that requires some console commands knowledge.
If using libwebp, to convert from another image format to webp and resize, use (on Windows):
cwebp.exe map_image.png -o map_image.webp -resize 300 0 -q 100
where map_image.png is the input filename, and map_image.webp is the output filename.
Powershell script to process all files in current directory Note: this requires the libwebp to be in some other directory, eg a subdirectory.
Full size images
There are 2 links at the start of each section:
- map.spacestation14.com - an interactive map.
- mapserver.spacestation14.com - the source for the full scale images. Should be up to date with new updates [1] once an issue [2] is resolved.
Full scale images should not be hosted on the wiki due to performance concerns, instead the interactive map viewer is to be used.
Working with Mapserver
Mapserver links look like this:
https://mapserver.spacestation14.com/api/Image/grid/box/master/1588
They usually don't change with existing maps, but it's not impossible. The mapper would have to delete the grid and place down a new one for it to change (the grid ID number at the end).
They are assembled with this format:
<mapserver url>/api/Image/grid/:mapId/:gitRef/:gridId
<mapserver url>is https://mapserver.spacestation14.com/:mapIdis a map ID, egfland.:gitRefis the name of a branch on ss14 repo, usuallymaster:gridIdis a grid ID within the map. To see the grids for a particular map, go tohttps://mapserver.spacestation14.com/api/Map/:mapId/:gitRef
For Box (map), the link would look like: https://mapserver.spacestation14.com/api/Map/box/master
Grids would be ordered from biggest to smallest, so the first one is usually correct.
Use your browser search to find gridId fields. Use links in url fields to see how a grid looks like. If a grid looks like a whole station, then it's a right grid.
