  • It's not that bad to add the preview image, particularly now that it's standardized. This file:
    https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea-game.github.io/blob/master/maps/maps.html

    With the below modifications (note the new img block):

    Looks like this:

    Is there anyone good with CSS that can style this up more nicely?

  • I don't have bandwidth to help here. The updates look good. Replacing the files in the map repository should be do-able with some googling and small determination.

  • @beelee I would read your feature request as wanting to update this image?

    triplea_promo.png

    I don't know seems like a bit of effort. It's already got some sort of tile mosaic shadow thing going on there at the dimensions of each inset image, like with a shadowline added in at the boundary. You'd be better off just trying to create a new image altogether probably, but I'd suggest using a different presentation perhaps. Like wouldn't it be more interesting to see some vignettes more at the play-scale zoom rather than just the zoomed out maps?

    To me the more interesting part of that image as a promo is the gameplay one, you know the background that everything else sits on top of. Where we can see the details and the dice and whatnot cause that shows more like what the play experience is. Or I guess one could just make another similar image to complement that one, but I don't have the energy. Someone else put that together a while back I'm sure. Maybe just a larger mosaic that shows more of the combat windows or different numbered dice? As a design maybe just some sort of slide reel thing would be better.

    I honestly don't know, it's been a while since I even pulled up the main page. I just bookmark straight to the forums or the downloads or maps lol

    What would probably be more useful is just a gallery view for the Maps section, which would accomplish a similar sort of mosaic image, but be more useful for browsing around the maps and such.

    Currently you have to click-in individually to view, before you'll see any thumbnail images. Looks like this...

    At least like if trying to check it out from a browser that's the read, but if there were more images - like say 1 map view, 1 battle view for each (or whatever number of thumbnails to give a sense), then it would probably give a similar vibe to the collaged image of several maps together. They'd be more in columns and rows I guess and alpha-numeric, but maybe it could be randomized? Not sure

    Front page stuff would be for peeps who have more graphic design or web design chops than I do hehe. I think the current read is alright. I would just keep it to the tripleA custom scenarios if trying to highlight anything more recent than the last time we had a header revamp.
