Creating Maps

Postby FrankieLeonie » Thu Aug 20, 2009 3:18 pm

Hello! I am a player who used to play Cantr, quit and now am back. I have a character who is traveing around trying to update the map of the island as it is out of date. So I have been creating a new map of my travels and updating one of the visual maps that was there. How do I add images to notes? I tried to look for this information but could not find what I wanted.

Thanks for the help!

First, images need to be hosted on the Cantr server. Upload them using the picture frame icon/button next to the title field for making a new note. Use the link provided to link the image into the note.

I hope you'll redraw it too because I think most maps are saved as jpg and saving them repeatedly makes them turn blocky.

you can solve this problem by saving in png :) turns out exactly as you see it and isn't an insanely large file size like bmp
