🗺️ WorkAdventure Map Starter Kit

🗺️ This is a starter kit to help you build your own map for WorkAdventure.

📚 To understand how to use this starter kit, follow our tutorial.

👨🏻‍🔧 If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the WorkAdventure office.

🚀 Upload your map

In the .env file, you can set your upload strategy to GH_PAGES (default) or MAP_STORAGE. Simply comment out the option you don't want to use.

Uploading a map using GitHub Pages will host your project on GitHub servers, and it's the most straightforward way to add new maps to your world.

Uploading a map using the WA map storage will host your project on WA servers. It's a bit more difficult to set up, but it comes with great advantages, like being able to have private repositories.

🗂️ Structure

We recommend following this file structure:

• public/: Static files like PDFs or audio files
• src/: Script files or design source files
• tilesets/: All PNG tilesets

[!TIP]

• If you want to use more than one map file, just add the new map file in the root folder (we recommend creating a copy of office.tmj and editing it to avoid any mistakes).
• We recommend using 512x512 images for the map thumbnails.
• If you are going to create custom websites to embed in the map, please reference the HTML files in the input option in vite.config.js.

📜 Requirements

• Node.js version >= 18

Installation and testing

🛠️ Installation and Testing

With npm installed (which comes with Node.js), run the following command in the root directory of the project:

npm install

Then, you can test your map by running:

npm run dev

You can also test the optimized map as it will be in production by running:

npm run build
npm run prod

You can manually [upload your map to the WA Map Storage](WA Map Storage) by running:

npm run upload

The three important variables that control the upload feature are:

1. MAP_STORAGE_URL (local: created in .env by the upload command / CI: to be added as a Github secret optionally)
2. MAP_STORAGE_API_KEY (local: created in .env.secret by the upload command / CI: to be added as a Github secret)
3. UPLOAD_DIRECTORY (local: created in .env by the upload command / CI: to be added as a Github secret optionally)

Read the documentation to learn more about the upload feature.

📜 Licenses

This project contains multiple licenses as follows:

• Code license (all files except those for other licenses)
• Map license (office.tmj and the map visual as well)
• Assets license (the files inside the tilesets/ folder)

[!IMPORTANT] If you add third party assets in your map, do not forget to:

1. Credit the author and license of a tileset with the "tilesetCopyright" property by etiding the tileset in Tiled.
2. Add the tileset license text in LICENSE.assets.
3. Credit the author and license of a map with the "mapCopyright" property in the custom properties of the map.
4. Add the map license text in LICENSE.map.
