Hello, I'm the creator of the shiny new F-45A cockpit map, ClaraJ/Clara81221, and while these docs likely don't usually have a personalized message, I just contributed hours of work to this wiki and I'll make this doc however i please
Thank you for deciding to try to contribute to the wiki!

Groups can be added using the following:


"GroupLabel": {
	"name": "Group Name",
	"pinColor": "#ffffff", "size": 50
}
  • GroupLabel: The internal name of the group. Will not be shown to the end user. As far as I know, does not allow for spaces.
  • Group Name: Name of the group that WILL be shown to the end user.
  • #ffffff: The color of the group's icons in hexadecimal code. If you're unfamiliar, look up "color picker" on google an copy the code under "hex"
  • 50: Dunno what it does honestly

Groups should then be appended to the "markers" object:

"markers": {
	...
    "GroupLabel": [
		{
    		...
		}
    ]
}
  • "..." is space where other code should go
  • GroupLabel: The label entered earlier

Markers can be added using the following:

{
	"id": "ID", "x": XPOS, "y": YPOS,
	"name": "Name",
	"description": "Description",
	"article": "Article Name"
}
  • These should be placed inside of a group, inside of the "markers" object.
  • "ID" should be a number that isn't shared by any other marker; The highest SHOULD be placed at the bottom.
  • It is considered courteous to change the IDs of all other markers when the list is out of order.
  • The list of IDs is shared by ALL markers, not just the ones in the current group.
  • XPOS and YPOS are the X and Y coordinates of the image you want the markers to be placed at. I recommend using GIMP and

hovering your cursor in the desired location, looking to the bottom left for the coordinates.

  • Name is the desired name shown to the end user. Replace the one that says "Name" specifically, not "name". Same for description.
  • Description: The description shown when clicked
  • Article Name: The name of the article to link to when "read more" is pressed. This is optional.


Note: Remember, all items besides the last need a comma after them, strings need quotes around them, and numbers (integers) don't have any formatting around them.
