2016-04-20 How To Get Started With Text Mapper
Here’s how to get started with a random map:
- Visit https://campaignwiki.org/text-mapper
- Click the Random button
- Click the Submit button
- Use the Back button to make changes
=> https://campaignwiki.org/text-mapper
(If you click the Random link then you won’t be able to get back to the text that generated it all – you’ll have to look at the page source and at the very end you’ll find the text that generated the map in a comment, just in case.)
=> Random
To get a feel for the icons available, do the following in another tab:
- Visit https://campaignwiki.org/text-mapper
- Click Help
- Scroll down to the Gnomeyland section
- Compare example data and result
=> https://campaignwiki.org/text-mapper | Gnomeyland | example data | result
- Campaign Wiki Bonus*: If you can find a way to store your text describing the map online, then your map will be live – you can change the text and reload your map, and it will have changed as well. For one of my campaigns, for example, I keep the text on on a page, and I use the link to the raw text of that page to generate the actual map.
=> on a page | raw text | the actual map
- Dropbox*: If you store your map in a public (!) text file you can edit the map and regenerate the map on demand. Here’s the text file for my current map.
=> my current map
- I can just paste
include https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2749916/Greyheim.txt
into the Text Mapper box, or
- I can visit the link https://campaignwiki.org/text-mapper?map=include+https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2749916/Greyheim.txt
=> https://campaignwiki.org/text-mapper?map=include+https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2749916/Greyheim.txt
Awesome! 😄
