Leaflet
- Leaflet 1.9.4 is used as a javascript gadget:
- Leaflet.Fullscreen 3.0.2 Plugin:
- MediaWiki:Gadget-leaflet-fullscreen.js
- MediaWiki:Gadget-leaflet-fullscreen.css (css file slightly modified)
Leaflet-Wiki (bs-cartography)
See the project: https://github.com/GauChoob/bs-cartography which is compiled into a javascript gadget.
The Leaflet Wiki code was written by User:Gau Cho, with some contribution from User:Microbrews, inspired by some previous map work done by User:Anyny0.
The episode and room polygons were generated by User:Microbrews, User:Gau Cho, User:Jetta and @valsekamerplant. The entity data was manually compiled by User:Jetta.
The room_data is compiled and copied from the bs-tile-generator project - see below.
A set of links generated by the entity data will be found here: User:Gau_Cho/EntityLinks.
Generating the Map (bs-tile-generator)
See the project: https://github.com/GauChoob/bs-tile-generator/
The high-quality base map image (48x48 pixels per tile) was manually compiled by User:Microbrews with a bit of help from @omnipoet on Discord for some restricted rooms. The cache contains 64x64-sized tiles, so eventually a future goal could be to automatically generate the base map.
The room overlay data was manually compiled by User:Gau Cho, User:RandomnessofD and User:Microbrews.
User:Gau Cho's script automatically creates the room overlays, cuts up the large image into 256x256 tiles using vips, and then uploads the map tiles to the wiki. A bot account with admin privileges is required to update the map using the script.
For all of this to work smoothly, a set of links generated by the room overlay script can be found here: User:Gau_Cho/OverlayLinks. In addition, all the used small icons should be included in this list: Brighter_Shores:Orphanage#Map.
Styling
The .less/.css file was written by User:Merds and User:Gau Cho: MediaWiki:Common.less/leaflet.less
