Map Requests / Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection - PSP

« on: July 26, 2022, 04:13:40 pm »

So I'm thinking of giving FF4: CC on the PSP a go but unlike some of the other releases, this one does not have in-game minimaps that I'm aware of.

This collection spans 3 games in total: 
*Final Fantasy IV
*Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
*Final Fantasy IV: Interlude

Mapping Tips/Guides / Something to try for image smushing

Basically, you install wordpress and point it to a folder to optimize.  I think this can be done in 2 ways.  Optimizing locally or with a paid cloud service.... which I haven't looked into the paid option yet.  Just happened to stumbleupon it today and it reminded me of vgmaps, it might be a good choice to help cut down some of the image sizes.  No need to even keep WP installed after it's finished since that's all this mod requires to run.

Mapping Tips/Guides / Testing a new layout

« on: January 05, 2014, 01:37:30 pm »

I remember people saying some of the pages were slow and it needs a new layout to help ease the loading times.  Also I remember a statement from Jon I think, along the lines of it's important that people get to what they want as fast as possible.

I'm testing out xnview and it's create webpage mode, I also have a different layout in mind for system & game navigation.  Anyways how does xnviews thumbnail to full picture look to you guys?  Does it help you find what you're looking for faster?

VGMaps Social Board / Cloudflare for vgmaps?

Cloudflare does offer a free cdn and apparently it can serve as a cdn for png and other graphic files.
Seeing as how there are some huge images on this site, perhaps cloudflare can help a bit.
