Editing Template talk:P1 areas

[[User:Gamefreak75|Gamefreak75]] discussed a good idea on [[Talk:Areas#Nav Map]], so I decided to add it to this template. I didn't complete it because I haven't played ''Pikmin 2'' yet, so there's no way I'm going to make a map of it. Someone that has a ROM for it can get the texture used on the world map (if there is one) with Dolphin (the emulator), and create an imagemap. Well, while that isn't done, this template is incomplete and is making our pages look ugly, so hop to it!

:...For a template that's on multiple pages, it's nice to put up a draft without just breaking it like that, and get it finished and approved, ''then'' put in place.  I'll fix this in a bit... <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>

:Well, Miles found it, but it's in bits, at different scales, and the effects (light, fog) appear to be added dynamically.  I'm trying to reconstruct it...  I think the Pikmin 1 image should have some sort of visual indication on it where the links are, otherwise it's guesswork.  Just something like the little markers you see in-game.

::I'm not really following you here, but I don't see what the map could be missing. Maybe just the ship and the marker ovals? {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}

::::The part on the bottom is usually covered up by the stats, right? Maybe that's it. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}

:Oh, btw, I noticed that ''Pikmin'''s map is a bit incomplete too. Like it was said above, it's a bit hard to identify each area. I'll add those markers that are seen on the area selection screen, so the areas are easier to identify. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 08:02, 21 October 2010 (EDT)

:Facepalm. I don't know why I didn't discuss that on this page, GP. Oh well. I'm not sure if it's best to make both images have lightning, or neither of them. I tried a more "mere atlas" approach, and you tried a "familiar image" approach. Or something. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:31, 21 October 2010 (EDT)

::The sunlight does look a little out of place, but I didn't really take that much notice of it. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Vol2}}

Hehe, the template ended up excellent! Great work everybody. There are only 2 small things that can be improved. ''Pikmin''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s map and ''Pikmin 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s map have different heights, and that looks slightly ugly in the template. The second thing has been discussed previously: Either add sunlight from the top-left corner to both images, or to neither.

:Well, upload a version of 1 with light so I can see what it looks like.  To get the same heights, we could resize either or crop 1/uncrop 2 (that is, undo the cropping I did).  I think it would be nice to have the same image widths too, and wider (as wide as 2 is ATM) would waste less space and probably be more aesthetically pleasing, so you could try cropping 1 to the right height (411px). <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span>
