How to add new maps on local version?

[d503-ai]

Is it still possible to add new maps locally, for example, if I downloaded the app?

In the past it's was possible by adding map details in mapdata.js file (which is maps.js now and have a different data due to UE5) and image files to "\public\maps" path

As I understand, now the code references to squadcalc's API only to take this map images and cannot be changed.

Changing the .env file to set API_URL to empty didn't work for me so probably I'm doing something wrong

I was using it only to adjust some custom maps

Thanks in advance

Since I moved every vanilla map files (and a lot of images/icons) on the API side so it can be used by squadcalc & squadtactics without duplicating, it's a lot harder now.

If you change the api path in .env it will work for your custom map files but now you'll miss vanilla map files and a lot of icons

What I can do is to change mapdata.js so each map hold the full path. Vanilla maps would be ${api}/skorpo/ and you could add custom map by adding them with /public/img/mycustommap/ or whatever path you want

Yeah, it would be perfect

Or upload the maps with icons from API side to repository or somewhere else to download them and use locally

For me even with changing .env file it still try to connect to API and drop errors when I try to select custom map

Sorry If my questions and situation seems stupid

I pushed a try on https://github.com/sh4rkman/SquadCalc/tree/dev

In short, you can now keep using API_URL=https://squadcalc.app/api in your .env, and add custom/local maps in maps.js under this format :

    { 
        name: `CustomMap #1`,
        mapURL: `/img/maps/customMap1/`, 
        radiusExclusion: FOBEXCLUSIONS.medium,
        SDK_data: {
            minimap: {
                corner0: [-3302, -3302], 
                corner1: [3048, 3048],
                gridSize: 6300,
            },
        }
    },

Be advise (tell me if it's fine or not) :

• The mapURL path is relative to the /public/ folder
• Things will work even if no heightmaps are provided (squadcalc will consider the map flat)

It works fine. Thank you

Tried to add the old AlBasrah map from UE4 and it worked
