WFRP Map storage
This is the storage area and sister repo to
https://github.com/claydegruchy/wfrp-map-osm
This is used to store maps.
Thanks for storing my stuff github! Can you believe they do it for free?
How to add to this
First: Make sure the file is big and detailed!
- Get QGIS
- Get the plugin for QGIS:
Freehand raster georeferencer
- Add the WFRP world as an external source either via gitzmans (http://www.gitzmansgallery.com/tiles/{z}{x}{y}.jpg) or this repo (https://claydegruchy.github.io/wfrp-map-storage/world-map/{Z}/{Z}{X}{Y}.jpg)
Now we need to convert the image that we have to a georeferenced TIFF
- Use
Freehand raster to import the file you want (AD)
- Postion it using the pokey ass interface it gives you (I suggest using
2P)
- One in place, export and choose a dir
Now we convert our georeferenced TIFF to XYZ chunks for easy usage in the main map
- Import the image into QGIS (I drag and drop into the panel), it should automatically sit in the right spot
- Unselect the other layers and enable the toolbox (processing>toolbox)
- Choose
gdal2tiles
- Set the settings, I use
- cutting profile = raster
- zoom levels = 1-7 (1-8 for really big files)
- web viewer = openlayers
- title = title
- output dir = somewhere obvious
- It should look like this:
gdal2tiles.bat -p raster -z 1-7 -w openlayers -t Nuln -r average -a 0.0 source.png dest/
- Set an output directory for the files AND the html
And its done

Big thanks to https://www.deviantart.com/planjanusza for the free listed assets on their deviantart. Amazing stuff and inspired me to make this. Multiple maps are used from here and I hope this list is exhaustive:
