This | ==== Find out what's missing ==== | ||
First of all, you need to find out what pictures are missing. Currently, there is a brief list at [[Talk:Hair Styles]] which may guide you in finding wanted hair style pictures. This list may eventually be moved to a more appropriate place. If the list is outdated you can find wanted pictures by looking at the hair styles' individual pages. Each hair style will automatically link to all colors available, which means there will be red links to the pictures that are missing. | |||
==== Travel in-game ==== | |||
Once you have found some pictures you could contribute with, you need to find them in-game to take a screenshot. Please refer to the hair style article of where this hair style is available to you (there may be variations between MapleStory versions). Note that the easiest and cheapest hair styles to contribute with are the ones available through VIP tickets, as you can "browse" the alternatives without paying for them. | |||
For VIP tickets, go to the main hair stylist of the town where the hair style is available (often called ''Hair Salon Owner'' or ''Lead Hair Stylist'') and ask to see the available choices. Before taking any screenshots, please click the button below your character picture to see what the hair looks like without any equipment and make sure your cursor is not covering the character picture. | |||
For hair styles not available through VIP tickets you will need to use a different strategy. To get pictures of the hair style in different colors you can talk to the VIP hair stylist, as above. However, for your current hair style combined with your current hair color you can talk to a lens expert instead, to take the picture with a different eye color. It is of course possible to unequip all your items and take a screenshot wherever you might be, but removing the background can become tedious if you're in a bad place. | |||
==== Take the screenshot ==== | |||
[[image:Brown Candy Heart.png|right]] | |||
To take a screenshot, use the ''Print Screen'' key on your keyboard, sometimes called ''PrtScr''. The built-in screenshot function using ''Scroll Lock'' produces pictures with such a terrible quality that all {{SITENAME}} screenshots should be created by using proper screenshots (Print Screen) and pasting into a picture editing software. Please crop the picture so that nothing remains but the hair and the character - see the example on the right. Save the file as a PNG (PNG-24 if available) and make sure the background is ''transparent''. | |||
If you don't understand these instructions, please ask for help on the [[Talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or search the internet for screenshot tutorials. | |||
==== Upload to the wiki ==== | |||
Once your screenshot is cropped and saved as a picture containing only what's interesting, go to the hair style's individual page (such as [[Disheveled]]). Click the red link of the picture you want to upload. Make sure you click the correct link, so that you don't upload the green hair where the blue should be. Browse your computer for the file you want to upload. Leave the ''Destination filename'' as it is, or the hair style pages won't work as intended. As the ''summary'', please enter <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:'''<Color>''' '''<Gender>''' Hair Color]]</code> - for example <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:'''Green''' '''Female''' Hair Color]]</code>. Make sure to capitalize each word ('''F'''emale, not '''f'''emale) and to spell them correctly, as this will enable visitors to browse the [[:Category:Green Female Hair Color|color categories]]. | |||
Now you know how to add new pictures to the '''Hair Style project''' so you can start contributing. | |||
