Sprites

Sprites are, within Wonderdraft, divided into trees, mountains and symbols.

## Adding Custom Sprites

Symbols are treated differently from trees and mountains and are also saved differently. Below you can see the general folder structure within the user folder you can open from the Wonderdraft menu

```
+---assets

```

Through Mythkeeper, the standard to add custom assets is to add a folder with the Package name and the appropriate subfolders to the sprites folder. This facilitates removing the asset packs in case of incompatibility or just plain not liking them.

## Metafile

How Wonderdraft handles the sprites is detailed in the .wonderdraft\_symbols metadata file, which is formatted in JSON.IF you add a custom sprite within the right folder structure, Wonderdraft will automatically general a metadata file if none is present, this will probably be enough for most intents and purposes.

```
"MyAsset": {
    "name": "My Asset",
    "radius": 38,
    "offset_x": 0,
    "offset_y": 0,
    "draw_mode": "normal"
}

```

### Metafile properties

* name: A text description for the image that appears in Wonderdraft when you hover over an symbol in the Symbol Palette.
* radius: The radius is the collision or exclusion radius around the asset's pivot point. The bigger your symbol, typically, the bigger your radius.
* offset\_x: Offset in the X direction from the CENTER of the image. Positive is to the right and negative is to the left. A value of 0 means the center.
* offset\_y: Offset in the Y direction from the CENTER of the image. Positive is up and negative is down. A value of 0 means the center. See below.
* draw\_mode: One of four values - *normal*, *sample\_color*, *custom\_colors*, *custom\_colors\_2*. See below.

#### draw\_modes

* normal: draws your symbol as is
* sample\_color: adapts your symbol to the ground color
* custom\_colors: uses the RGB channels to colorize your symbol inside Wonderdraft using the currently defined Custom Colors
* custom\_colors\_2: uses the RGB channels to colorize your symbol inside Wonderdraft using the currently defined Custom Colors

#### Offset

   The offset allows you to move a symbol's center of gravity/pivot. Useful for tall symbols or asymmetrical ones. The offset is used to help sort the symbols and determine where the collision radius emanates.

The offset also defines the location of selection area when trying to move a symbol or paint those flagged with sample\_color.
Nelsonia

> "*A new home. Not of chaos! Not of fear! But of order and tranquility!*"
>
>

> -Scholar Jack Nelson
>
>

**Nelsonia** (rarely referred to as the **New Order of the Tancaetic Peoples**) is the southernmost province of Large Mouth. It is the reestablishment of Tancas Major, covering all the land except what was destroyed in the Eruption of Harmen. Scholar Jack Nelson is the supreme and benevolent leader of Nelsonia, and has been since 1524 HE.

## History

*See also: Tancas*

Nearly a year after the Eruption of Harmen, Jack Nelson rose to a high point in the Tancaetic Army and through his fame gained political power in what was left of a Tancas with a lost capital. Some claim Nelson took too far advantage of the vulnerability of the people after this disaster and used anger and sadness from this event to gain a following. Others claim him to be a savior of Tancas. Either way, he renamed the province "Nelsonia" and changed much of the legislation upon becoming leader. He has been what some call a "dictator" since 1524 HE.

## Omission of the Purge

*See also: Tancas*

The Tancaetic Purge was at first a twelve hour period during which no laws were in place. Every few years however, Gwedalier Cook would extend the time, and by the end of the life of Tancas (1523) the Tancaetic Purge lasted three days. Twelve hours or seventy-two, it always began on the 25th of Chaiond.

The first amendment in the Nelsonic Constitution of Order and Tranquility was the abolishment of the purge. This was done in an effort to create a more civilized society which Gwedalier Cook had previously always fought against.

There was a fair amount of resistance to this. For the first few years of his rule, Nelson was called "Scholar Pussy" because of this amendment. Adjustment to the lack of a purge came eventually, but tensions remain in Nelsonia because of this.
Mythkeeper

**Mythkeeper** is an asset manager for Wonderdraft first created by Elvanos. The software helps users to manage, install and update assets for users. It has since exploded and is being called an essential tool for Wonderdraft users.

## History

The need for a way to manage and install assets in an easy way was first publicly discussed in the official Wonderdraft discord server in early January 2019. When user pumpkinhead9092 suggested "If I had time or energy I would program a asset repository similar to CKAN for kerbal space program. But I am out of practice with programming as I haven't worked in that field in over a year." this message prompted ideas and suggestions as to how the program might work, be called and what it features should be.

Just two days earlier on the 6th of January, an asset manager was suggested in the official discord channel of CartographyAssets by Elvanos.

*"I was pondering about the possibility of writing a WD asset manager app that could integrate with CA webstite. Some kind of Curse-like solution for assets. Auto checking for updates, etc"*

 - Elvanos

*"Haha thats funny, i made a flow-chart two days ago on how that would work."*

 - Nexoness

The idea was further worked out and a poll emerged in the Wonderdraft discord on the 12th of January asking users what categories would be needed for managing assets. At this time the three parties worked separately creating designs, UI's and prototypes for asset managers.

After extensive talks over multiple weeks, the decision was made to go with Elvanos' asset manager and working out how it could work with the CA platform. The other parties discontinued their efforts and all focus went to the creation of the asset manager by Elvanos, which got the name Mythkeeper. By this time both Elvanos and Nexoness agreed to work together on the project with Nexoness providing the software with the needed access to the CartographyAssets database with an API, after which Mmythkeeper had gotten the title of *Official CartographyAssets.com Asset Manager* and received its own subforum and category on the platform.

On January 22th Elvanos released the first public version of Mythkeeper on the Wonderdraft Subreddit, version 0.5.0 beta. The post was later edited to replace the download link with a link to its official CA page.

#### 0.6.1

On the 4th of February Elvanos released Mythkeeper 0.6.1 which connected the software with the CartographyAssets platform with direct downloading and installation of assets from the platform.

Hach

**Hach** is a small settlement in modern-day Gonla. It is famous for two things, Danforth the Big Chow and the Battle of Hach. The outskirts of Hach contain sparse and rural neighborhoods not necessarily governed by Hach. Hach itself - excluding surrounding neighborhoods - is inhabited by only tieflings.

## Danforth the Big Chow

Danforth the Big Chow was the largest chow chow dog in the world before his death during the Battle of Hach.

## Battle of Hach

On the 4th of Mofta, 1293, an airship of elves invaded Hach in order to eradicate and/or imprison all of the tieflings of the town. This was a part of the lasting efforts of the War of Realms, successfully ended by Dr. Nutter by use of an elven tank. By killing General Gaelin Rigtor, the center of the tiefling holocaust, the last efforts of the war were ended with this battle.

Avoro

**Avoro** is a custom theme for Wonderdraft created by user Nexoness and first released on December 6th 2018.

## History

### First appearance

Avoro was first created during the creation of Nexoness his submission for the Wonderdraft 1st Official Map Competition themed "The End of an Ice Age". Nexoness posted a video showcasing his map on December 7th called *The Kingdom at war with Snow and Ice* .

### Version 2

After its initial showcase Nexoness decided to work on expanding the theme and released version 2.2 on December 11th which had gotten 33 downloads. A few days later on December 18th, he released Avoro 2.3 which was also posted on the Wonderdraft subreddit . Version 2.3 was well received with 287 upvotes on Reddit and 220 downloads on CartographyAssets.com. Avoro 2.3 added names for the ground colour palette colours and label presets. It was later expanded with colours for hot and cold biomes.

### Version 3

The third version of Avoro called Avoro 3.0 was first released on December 23rd 2018 and added 40 new colours and 12 new label presets. Avoro 3.0 made the theme explode and was downloaded over 1000 times and was the first asset to reach this milestone on CartographyAssets.com.

### Version 4.0

The release of Avoro 4.0 was a big one for the theme, which by this time had expanded to a whole array of different Avoro themes including the popular Avoro addon Avoro: Gates of Hell. On January 21, 2019, Nexoness released a short video to hype the release of Avoro 4.0. The theme promised more than the final version, promising to include custom textures, frames, label frames and a custom name generator. It was later decided to release the extra's as standalone Avoro assets to make updating and distributing the assets and theme easier. Avoro 4.0 would release on the third of February 2019 and would get over 2,5k downloads.

Changes in Avoro 4.0 include:

* *Tons of new labels!*
* *Slightly changed the water labels to fit better with the Avoro sea colour.*
* *Better coastal effects.*
* *Better Freshwater.*
* *Better organized colour palette!*
* *Colours are labelled better, mistakes have been fixed!*

### Version 4.1

The second-latest update of Avoro came on the 7th of April 2019 and added a new structure for the Ground Colour Palette after requests from multiple users. It also added 6 new label presets under the category *Cartoon.*

### Version 4.2

Version 4.2 was released on July 5th 2019 and added new water settings for the theme, adding a selection of 5 extra water settings to the theme.

Adding Numbered Hex Grids

Wonderdraft has the ability to add a hex grid to your map using the Overlay tools. You can choose the orientation, size, line width and color. You can't however get coordinates for your hexes. Coordinates are very handy if you are creating a gazetteer to describe where particular points of interest can be found on your map. Coordinates are also handy if you are doing a hex crawl style game.

One solution is to produce a grid overlay outside of Wonderdraft and the free tool, mkhexgrid, provides a way to do that.

### mkhexgrid

You can download the PC/Mac/Linux version of **mkhexgrid** at the link above. **mkhexgrid** is a command line tool so you'll need to download it and unzip it to convenient location. To use it, you will need to open up a Command Prompt and change to the directory you've unzipped **mkhexgrid** into.

### Example: Creating a 50 px grid

mkhexgrid has nearly 40 options that can be specified on the command line. Fortunately you only need to specify a handful to get a nicely numbered overlay that you can use in Wonderdraft or overlay it on an existing map image using a paint package like GIMP. I recommend saving your command line to a batch file or shell script to make it easy to edit/update as well as preserve for later.

```
mkhexgrid.exe --antialias --hex-height=50 --image-width=1000 --image-height=1000 --grid-grain=v --grid-thickness=2 --bg-opacity=127 --grid-color=000000 --coord-font="Calibri" --coord-size=10 --coord-distance=19 --coord-color=AAAAAA -o 50px1K.png

```

**The Options**

* **antialias** - this turns on anti-aliasing to make for a more pleasing image.
* **hex-height=50** - Specify the height of the hex as 50 pixels. Because these are flat-topped hexes, this is face-to-face distance.
* **image-width=1000** - Image width in pixels.
* **image-height=1000** - Image height in pixels.
* **grid-grain=v** - Hex columns are vertical or flat side up.
* **grid-thickness=2** - Make the hex lines 2 pixels.
* **bg-opacity=127** - This sets the background color to transparent.
* **grid-color=000000** - Sets grid color to black. This is the hexadecimal value for black.
* **coord-font="Calibri"** - You will need to specify a font available on your system. If the tool is saved somewhere other than the main disk (e.g. the C: drive on Windows) you will need to specify the full path to the font. Ex. "C:\Windows\Fonts\Calibri.ttf"
* **coord-size=10** - The size of the font in *points* not pixels.
* **coord-distance=19** - The distance the coords are offset from the center of the hex. This value will depend on font chosen and font size.
* **coord-color=AAAAAA** - A light grey color in hexadecimal.
* **-o 50px1K.png** - Specify the output filename. This example uses 50px1K.png

The resulting grid overlay and how it looks brought into Wonderdraft and then exported.

Yumbanian Detail

**Tanco James Cook** was the lead explorer for the expedition into the continent of Yumba. He was commissioned by King Harrison Rorik V in 1493 to act as army general for the invasion of Yumba, a course which Tanco Cook had absolutely no idea the reason for.

He is famous in Hoft for this expedition, and has been made especially famous in recent years due to the fame of his children and his children's children. Gwedalier Cook, who was born in 1517, was the first man sent by the Hoft Board of Peace and Conquest to set foot on western Lont, and even begun his own sovereign state named after Tanco. Ontro Cook, Gwedalier's son who was born in 1542, explored the eastern and northern coasts of Lont, and essentially put Large Mouth on Fordsu's maps, establishing Fordford and all its regions within. Both Ontro, Gwedalier, and even Ontro's unsuccessful son George have referred to Tanco as inspirations of theirs.

## Trivia

* Besides those with use of the Elixir of Flesh (or bootlegs) Tanco Cook is the longest living human in the history of Tol, clocking in at 124 years old. Including those with use of the Elixir of Flesh, the longest living human so far is 244 years old.

Its spawn rate is directly related to how deep into The Void the player is. (Refer to the infobox for exact spawn rates.) Due to The Void's darkness, it may be difficult to see a Chloite block without a strong pickaxe light.

**Ziungyu** are a species which evolved much differently than humans, though they bear a semi-humanoid form. They are always found in Ziung Kina. In total, only 11 Ziungyu have ever left their brith province or Ragu Ziun.

Ziungyu are the only recorded intelligent humanoid species besides those born from Ê.

## Physical Description

While during exercise, hunting, and recreation they are typically on all fours, it is customary for Ziungyu to stand on their hind legs for intimidation, camouflage, diplomacy, or attacking. They stand at around 6.5 to 8 feet tall. Their towering appearance tends to create fear in their enemies, however the vanta-black of their skin often hides them from hostiles in general.

Across their body are "olfactory patches" which pick up senses of smell more accurately than any other species on Tol.

### Variations

Dwarf Ziungyu are a slight genetic variation that are the same proportional size of Ziungyu however they stand at around 4 to 5 feet in height.

Albino Ziungyu are another variation which have a completely white color rather than black.

## Notable Ziungyu

### Tancas Ten

The Tancas Ten (of which there were actually eleven) were an activist group of Ziungyu who defected themselves to Tancas in order to protest the new immigration laws. They left through the Tancas Wasteland Passage, and ten of them died. The eleventh - Gazog - was the only to survive. His survival is based on accounts from the people of Tancas Major, however he soon disappeared weeks after the protest. Gazog is also notable for being a dwarf Ziungyu.

### Kozojago

Kozojago is the sole dictator of Ziung Kina. He has ruled for fifty years and for the past five has been ruling from a hospital bed. He is dying of an unknown disease yet he continues to protect the borders with an iron fist.

### Jozko

Often not considered a Ziungyu because of her acts of treason against Ziung Kina, Jozko is the leader of Ragu Ziun. Ragu Ziun is a nation independent from Ziung Kina which Jozko established after the Ragu Rebellion of 1593. Jozko has ruled since its establishment and is fighting for the freedom of her people - ostricized Ziungyu and other previous members of Ziung Kina who were deported after the Eruption of Harmen. She is an albino Ziungyu, which is her sole reasoning for being a shining light of opportunity for other ostracized groups.
Nikin

**Nikin** is the country of the Nikinese, small woodland natives who speak in clicks and write in glyphs. Destruction of its forest is very likely, however protestors from Boardsdown Beach are fighting it.

Parts of the inside of the forest have been ruined by the conquests of Ontro Cook, but it is still generally a dangerous area for a small number of hostiles.

## Plot

Kevin arrives at Randora to stop Zero. But it may be too late for a victim close to SURFACK.

## Trivia

* This will be the most shocking chapter of all.
Kandar

**The Kingdom of Kandar** is a large region in western Hoft. It is the oldest civilization in Hoft, yet in modern times it finds itself the most out of touch. Kandar rejects most technological advancements and is essentially a kingdom of feudalist LARPers, except it's quite real in its outcomes. Due to this, Kandar is not taken very seriously on a global scale.

## History

Since its inception in 1040, Kandar has been characterized by pseudo-individualism, Kandarian-exceptionalism, and palpable hierarchies.

### Pre-Kandar Kandarians

A core tenant of Kandarian life is the belief in Odin as the sole creator of the earth and humanity. NEED TO FIGURE OUT DATES

Paul Scribner (step-father)

**Ontro Cook** was a Hoftian explorer who is credited as the "Father of Fordford" for his extensive exploration of northern Large Mouth and the western and northern edges of Lont. He lived in Elly's Smile, where he acted as mayor, chief of police, diplomat, and dad.

He was also one of the three members of the Fordford Leadership Board before his death.

## Family

The Cook family is famous for their commitment to exploring the continent of Lont. Ontro's father, Gwedalier Cook, was the first man to set foot on Lont, and expanded it into the small province of Tancas (an area which is now Nelsonia).

Ontro's grandfather, Tanco Cook, explored the southern half of Yumba as a favor for Kandar. Since his exploration of this region it has yet to be advanced to the northern half a standstill remains at the border

### The Cook Clause

The Cook Clause is a clause which details that all members of the Cook Family are allowed to continue exploring Lont. This was only agreed upon because of the offering of life-long sexual favors to Dorbalar Stansson.

## Advancements in Currency

The Fordford Leadership Board, which was made up of Ontro Cook of Elly's Smile, Big Tuna of Hook Harbor, and Ripley Goddard of Volton, in its meeting on 23 Dechembruary, 1616, Ontro Cook suggested an advancement in the currency of Large Mouth, and, as he hoped, Hoft in general. He brought to the meeting around fifty thousand gold pieces "worth" of paper currency. In his pitch he mentioned that coins had constantly weighed down his pockets during his long journeys, and by moving on to paper currency, this issue could be eradicated and more money could be transported. Ripley Goddard was the first to respond:

> *"Okay. But what if I'm at a campfire, my money falls out of my bag, and it just burns and now I have no money? Did you think about that, Cook?"*
>
>

Big Tuna responded similarly with:

> *"It's just too damn flammable, George. And coins are nice. Heavy pockets make me feel rich because I am."*
>
>

The bills were rejected. And only 2500 gold piece bills were printed, so they are not even used by the common folk of Elly's Smile.
Tancas

> "*Tancas Major was Gwedalier Cook's stirring pot for chaos. He was an instigator for the ruin of order and that spontaneity is was attracted people to leave Hoft for what was later to be called Large Mouth"*

>
>

**Tancas** or **Tancas Major** is the former state which was founded by one of the first pioneers of Large Mouth, Gwedalier Cook. It was the first establishment of Hoft on non-Hoft soil, and marks an important landmark in the exploration of Tol as a whole.

## Geography

Tancas Major (before being replaced by Nelsonia) covered the southernmost portion of Large Mouth. To its north is only mountains. It borders on Lake Ailo, which had been the subject of many minor battles and tensions between Tancas and Fete Neldë, and continues to be for Nelsonia.

## Stirring Pot for Chaos

Tancas Major was at first a very peaceful and docile place. However, as its lifespan went on Gwedalier Cook indulged in socio-political experiments with laws that hadn't been seen before. There were no limits to the speed at which a cart was able to travel, regardless of the size of the street. Only the rich paid taxes. There was no legislative limit on magic.

### Tancaetic Purge

The most notable of these socio-political experiments is the Tancaetic Purge. This was at first a twelve hour period during which no laws were in place. Every few years however, Cook would extend the time, and by the end of the life of Tancas (1523) the Tancaetic Purge lasted three days. Twelve hours or seventy-two, it always began on the 25th of Chaiond.

The **Hoft Board of Peace and Conquest** is the alliance of all the major nations of Hoft. It is responsible for the united conquering of the entire coast of Hoft and the eastern coast of Lont.

The current executive board members are as follows: Kyle Beartrapper (President of Fordsu), Ashera Mordove (Queen of Faerûn), Nip Cantrip (President of Formorn), Jeb Wade (Chief of Shyr), Duke Cleavon Jr. (Governor of Gonla), King Harrison Rorik VII (King of Kandar).

## History

### Inception

On the 1st of Sebtimber in 1288 the human Tar-Tar Tribe of what is now eastern Hofs and the dwarven For-Moran Tribe of what is now Formorn clashed on the shores of the largest lake in Hoft: Hofsgond. There they fought over the resources provided by the lake, the water, and control over the forest surrounding it.

This battle lasted four days until the interception of King Harrison Rorik and Stantlin Torigmun. On the 4th of Sebtimber, these two world leaders worked together to come up with a plan to stop the fighting, and executed that plan a day later. Diplomacy was much swifter in the Polar Ages, and the two world powers of Kandar and Faerûn had yet to make amends until now.

By physically obstructing one side of the battle from another, diplomats of Faerûn announced a solution for both sides. The terms were that if they ended their fighting the lake would be shared by all, the humans would be given northern Hoft to colonize for the elves, and Kandarian Hullers would carve out cave systems for the dwarves to live in as their caves at the time could not support the rapidly growing population.

Peace was struck between the two, and conquest was given to all. Wilma Tantri - the tribe's chief - was appointed leader of her human tribesmen by Faerûn. She was also put on the first set of executive leaders of the alliance alongside Torigmun and Rorik I. The dwarves were not yet given a representative because they were considered to be sexually deviant brutes - a notion which remained for around a century.
Calendar of Hemfos

The **Calendar of Hemfos** is the most commonly used calendar of Tol. It was created by the elven wizard Hemfos Hogger of Northern Hoft. "Hemfos" generally means calendar to most, though. It is split into ten months, each thirty days long. There is, however, one extra day after the tenth month, Imbëdos, which falls between Dechembruary 30th and Danuary 1st.
Ziung Kina

**Ziung Kina** (ziung: marsh, kina: field) or the **Eastern Marsh** is a province in Large Mouth. It is all either bayou, marsh, or somewhere in between. With the Eruption of Harmen lots of Ziung Kina's land was lost. This land is not inhabited by anything from Hoft, especially after the Eruption of Harmen.

Its only inhabitants after the Eruption were of their own kind, the Ziungyu.

**Jennite** is a legendary ore in Mining Insanity. When mined, the server will send a message saying "[Player's name] has found a legendary Jennite!"

## Appearance

It is a dark blue block with an Ice texture. Its color shows as Black in Studio. It emits dark blue fire and sparkles.

## Spawning

Jennite spawns only in The Void on March 29th. (Entering The Void on January 4th or May 31st will generate Chloite or Christinium instead.) Its spawn rate is directly related to how deep into The Void the player is; refer to the infobox for exact spawn rates. It may be difficult to spot Jennite due to The Void's darkness; a strong pickaxe light is recommended.

## History

In the very early versions of the game that were never released, Jennite was a cyan block with a Foil texture that emitted cyan fire, sparkles, and a very strong blue light. It spawned in the same way that Laurite spawns today, being far more common in the month of February. After March 29th, 2019, due to real-life reasons that are not to be discussed, it was replaced by Laurite and moved to The Void.

**Dorbalar** **Stansson** is a leader of the elves of Fete Neldë, and previous ambassador of the elves of Faerûn. He incited the further exploration of Large Mouth, and in turn caused the lack of exploring Lont (due to the post First Fete Neldën War non-exploration treaty). According to Fete Neldën defectors, he is not necessarily considered to be "benevolent".

He is known as the youngest elven ambassador for the Hoft Board of Peace and Conquest, the youngest elven army general, and the youngest elven province leader.
