User:Kastle/Map Upload Instructions

This page was created to explain the map upload process. You may follow these steps to successfully upload a map.

• 1. Generate as many maps in game as you plan to upload. Write down the numbers of these maps.
• 2. Either resize or crop the images you will be using to a 1:1 aspect ratio (perfect squares).
• 3. Navigate to https://mc-map.djfun.de/ and follow these steps:
  • a. Before uploading the map here, select the settings tab in the top left.".
  • b. Change the "Color scheme" field to "Version 1.12 (2017)".
  • c. Navigate back to the main tab in the top left and follow the upload process with your chosen image.
  • d. Download the .dat files produced by the site.
• 4. Rename the files using the map numbers you wrote down in the first step. Follow the format map_#####.dat (e.g. map_12345.dat).
• 5. Upload the renamed .dat files to the MRT files server.

NOTE: If you are attempting to upload a map which rewrites a locked map, or a map which is out of the range of the 1000 most recent maps (ie if the latest map ID in the server is 35000, only maps from 34000 to 35000 can be modified), the maps will be required to be emailed manually to admins.
