Help adding more detailed map

Ok so I am trying to add a larger/more detailed map that what OP allows (they limit at 2 megs). So I found another service that does the exact same thing but uses a different api for the map and allows for higher res maps. The only problem is the only way I can think of putting the map into a site is a iframe. I would prefer to not have to link out of site if I don't need to.

Ok so here is a example of the iframe code



I tried converting it to Object code just incase OP can use object with this code



But all I got was

in the text area.

Anyone have any ideas?

    How about a little more info, and an actual usable link.

    I'm going to have to go in with KVP on this one. Perhaps a link to your campaign and a link to your map so we can see what the code on the site is like and maybe figure a viable workaround. There are limitations to what code you can use in OP, but there are super awesome people who've found ways to make amazing things work 'round these parts. Details will draw more attention to the post, but there's a lot of content that gets posted and discussions get bumped down pretty quickly. Don't fret, and don't be afraid to bump your post so long as you aren't spamming it ;)

    The main actual problem is that I have no idea what is and is not allowed on OP. If I could find out that info I could more than likely find a work around.

    Actually after more investigation the only other method I can find to replace a iframe is a object or javascript and I have a feeling neither are allowed.

    Unfortunately I think you're right there. That map site is pretty banging, though. Good find! But yeah, it looks like you'll have to link out or possibly do an html image map if you want it to be directly on the site. I've used "this site":http://www.image-maps.com/ before. It would be a little messy, and a little time consuming, but if you do your high-res image from photobucket or the like, plug the URL into the image mapping tool, then do each image map to a specific url in your campaign and paste the html image code into your campaign it should work fine.

    Anyway, those are my suggestions. There may be other workarounds, but someone more familiar with OP's coding restrictions will have to check it out. Good luck!

    Man, awesome map site find, neonbasschild. I hope there eventually becomes some way of integrating those maps directly into an OP wiki; they look perfect and much nicer than the default system. As-is, it may be best just to link to the map directly.

    I suggest contacting the map master, Arsheesh! He is always really helpful, although busy nowadays, so it may be a couple of days before he responds. Send him a pm. Check out his awesome maps "here":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/age-of-legends/wikis/maps at what I consider the best OP site of all time, Age of Legends. This one deserves even more than the 300 fans it has!
    Nice map, but hard to help you on your "site":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/twelvescrolls when you have it set as a private campaign.

    Its fine killer there is nothing on my games page. I am just trying to work this code into the site and from what I can tell there is no way to insert live items from one site into OP. I am just going to offsite link the map.

    Hey StanDiamond-
    What does this have to do with maps? They are decent textile references....
