Introduction
Here in Hive, curation groups appreciate when authors source images in their posts correctly. You're more likely to get curation rewards if you always include the source of the images in your posts.
Of course, if the images are your own, you don't have to indicate the source; this only applies if you take them from another website.
Here is a post from the curation group Qurator explaining how third-party images should be sourced: @qurator/standard-image-sourcing-for-the-qurator-project
In this post, I'm going to list the most common sources of images for Gods Unchained, to facilitate the process for everyone.
For fancier formatting options, you can check my other post where I go into detail about how to show captions in PeakD in different situations.
Cards (with frames)
A URL example is https://card.godsunchained.com/?id=1177&q=4
There is an optional size parameter as well: https://card.godsunchained.com/?id=2290&q=4&w=1024. I can confirm as valid sizes 1024, 512, 256, and 128.
The number after 'id=' is the card prototype (proto). In this case, 1177 corresponds to 'Hardened Channeler'.
To find the proto for the card you are looking for, you can inspect URLs in any website that displays cards. Using GU Decks as a convenient example:
Go to https://gudecks.com/cards and search for the card you're looking for.
Click on the card — the URL changes. The proto is the number before the card name. In the following example for Aging Veteran, the proto would be 1192.
If for any reason the website doesn't update the URL, right-click on the image, select 'Copy image address' and paste it anywhere (the browser, a text app, etc). The address should be similar to the example I showed above.
The number after 'q=' is the quality ID.
1: Diamond
2: Gold
3: Shadow
4: Meteorite
12: Mythic variant
So in this case, to display for example a Gold Aging Veteran (centered) with the source you could use
<center>
<sub>[source](https://card.godsunchained.com/?id=1192&q=2)
source
If you're going to display more than one image side-by-side, in a table, etc., you will have to adjust the formatting accordingly. I suppose if you don't want to use the word 'Source' as a URL link you can also display the URL plainly:
Card art
For card art only (without the card frame) you also need to find the card proto as I described above. Once you have the proto, just edit the URL accordingly. An example URL is
1920 is the image resolution. There are also sets of images in 250 and 720 pixels.
The last number before the file extension is the image proto. In this case, 1968 corresponds to Helmna.
Images with .jpg extension only exist for older cards. For newer, the extension is .webp. I don't know which expansion switched to the .webp format, I always check manually. So the URL for Blackbriar Whip would be:
Displaying (centered) and sourcing Blackbriar Whip would look like
<center>
<sub>[source](https://images.godsunchained.com/art2/720/2816.webp)
source
Note: You don't need to source the image URL directly, it's enough to provide the link to the page where the image came from. For both cards and art the cleanest way is to use the official GU servers, as opposed to taking a screenshot from GU Decks or a Token Trove page for example. They also link images from those GU servers. But if you link the root domain or the URL up to the path (without the filename), the browser will show an error page, which in itself is useless for whoever is interested in the image source.
Website screenshots
If you're taking screenshots from any website (TokenTrove, GU Decks, GUmeta, etc.) you can also indicate where the screenshot came from.
- For GU Decks (the URLs can be very long):
<center>
<sub>[source](https://gudecks.com/decks/GU_1_5_MBDMBEMBEMBFMBFMBOMBONAENAENAGNAGNAKNAKNALNALNAMNAMNANNANNCSNCfNCfOAJOAJQAMQARQARCDfHAzHAz?godPowers=100121&creator=CaptainAvocado&userId=2521217&archetype=Mutation%20Nature)
source
- For GUmeta:
Gods Unchained Media Kit in Google Drive
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1arZzXrd7FvmWl-zRozEJckk3hzo3RYdB
You can find all sorts of images in the folders. It's definitely worth having a look. Below is a random example and how I would source an image from there.
That's all! For any questions or other methods of displaying the source information, leave a comment 😃
