=== Map layer images === All map layer images should comply to the following guidelines (for '''consistence''' of all map layer images): * You screen resolution is set to 1920x1080. * Start Squad and go into the [[Shooting Range]]. * Use the [[Server_Administration#Admin_Console_Commands|admin console command]] "AdminChangeMap" to change to the desired map layer. * Go into [[Server_Administration#Spectator_Camera|admin cam]] with {{key_press|Shift}} + {{key_press|P}} and move the admin cam off map - the admin cam symbol should not be visible on the in-game map. We use the admin cam because it shows all vehicles from both factions. * Use the commander menu {{Key press|Caps Lock}} to bring up the in-game map (this has the largest view of the map). * Use the following map UI settings: ** Grid Opacity = 0 ** Flag Line Opacity = 1 (RAAS and Invasions layers should have an opacity of 0) ** Map Icon Scaling = 1.2 ** Toggle View Spawns = Off * Take the screenshot - in Steam it's easy to do with {{Key press|F12}}, but you can also use any other tool. If you do not take a full screenshot but only a screen region, include just the map layer, no other part of the UI should be included (fine cropping happens in the next step). This process is the same for all [[Game Modes|game modes]], even though in some game modes the results might differ greatly. After taking the screenshot with the above guidelines do the following steps on your image file: * Crop it (crop to just the map layer image). Ideally, this should be close around 700 x 703 pixels - but it doesn't have to be pixel perfect. * Give it a file name in '''exactly''' the following format: MapName_GameMode_Version.jpg (e.g. Al_Basrah_AAS_V1.jpg). Those parts in '''uppercase and lowercase''' are relevant, stick to it precisely, including for the extension ".jpg". Please look at existing map images to get the spelling 100% right for all parts of the file name - otherwise you will break automatically generated links and the image will not show up on all pages correctly. * Save the image in the image format jpeg (extension as ".jpg"!) (because all our existing map images so far are jpeg and you cannot update an existing media file with a different file format; also we have hard-coded in our scripts to only process jpeg files for the map layer images). * Upload the file [[Special:Upload|here]]. Important: if the map layer image already exists, re-upload your image over the existing media files - '''do not upload as a new media file'''. If it's a new map layer, you upload the media file as a new file. * (Only if you created a new media file) Set the licensing to "This is from the game or its official website" also edit the media file and add "[[:Category:Minimaps]]" to the end of the text. * The wiki page should auto-update with the new image. If it does not, double check the file naming. If the image is still not showing up contact an [[Squad_Wiki_Editorial#List_of_active_Squad_Wiki_Editorial_members|editorial member]]. * The [[Squad_Wiki_Editorial#List_of_active_Squad_Wiki_Editorial_members|Squad Wiki Editorial]] will usually also run some post-processing over those images to add watermarks and map names into the images - we can still do this later, so do not worry about that. The image should look similar to this: [[File:Al Basrah AAS V1 Style Guide Example.jpg|frameless|703x703px]]
