I just got a country, and I tried to rename it from TA336 to Tangua, but only the boundary name changed. I did every thing the wiki said, but it didn’t work. can I have some help?

How do you make a dock?

I always wonder what source coding was used to make the OGF map. This site is one of my creative sites I have ever seen.

The people who created OGF did such a good job making this site. I’m grateful for a site that lets people create their own parts of a fictional, modern world.

Just wondering with all the water flowing into Lake Hetzer (western Uletha) nowadays, where is it all going? I gather there was a plan to create a gulf in eastern Vinnmark. Else, we’d have to reverse one of the rivers flowing into it. Throwing it into the group of territories fronting this beautiful lake.

And what do i do to add the ogf imagery to it.

I want to use another one since i don’t know what’s going on

Over the last few months I have come to the conclusion that Tircambry (278K sq.km.) is probably bigger than I really want or feel at home with, so after consulting with admins I have decided to give up over half the territory and concentrate everything into a smaller area. The surrendered territory will become UL148.

The shrunken Tircambry will have a land area of c.127,000 sq.km. - a bit smaller than England or Greece. All the existing provinces and cantrefs (counties) will be bunched up into this space, so the political structure and history will not change. This will be the new Tircambry (in red):

I will move the island of Ynyspur so that it remains in Tircambry, and adjust the coastline a bit, leaving a reasonable-sized coast for UL148.

Lots to do … so I had better get started.

Happy mapping!

Well, after my school made me pay a ridiculous amount of money to get the Adobe suite, I set about at my first attempt at a realistic, scalable digital PDF metro map for the QUARTA QLine Metro. Here’s a sneak preview of the completed part:

It’s no Khaiwoon Metro map, but for a first try, I’d have to say to myself

the barrio # 2 of Latina (Ciudad) [http://opengeofiction.net/relation/718] was planed for 100 990 inhabitants on the 12,43 km² - means moderate 8982 inhabitants each km². Meanwhile roundabout 3090 houses there are buildt - most with 4 floors and ground floor and 12 or 24 flats in a house. Only few houses are smaller. So we can calculate 3090 * 15 flats are 46 350 flats in all. Let in each live 4 persons as average, so we get 185 400 possible inhabitants = 14 500 each km² (I hope, I did not miscalculate me).

O.k. - that is only a rough calculation. But it is to see, that 100 990 inhabitants are too few for this central dense urbanisated area. So now I set 170.990 for this area. Sure the “new” 70 000 inhabitants will be substracted in other barrios, to let the total inhabitants of Latina (Ciudad) on the same level.

So we can see, that the planed inhabitants can be fixed only after the step, that all houses are drawn

@Litvania and I have been working together and we came up with what I’d say is a pretty decent historical timeline. However, there’s a little something that is crucial to the whole concept we need approval for. Here’s a brief version of the history concept:

Hey everyone, apparently you can use the OAuth of JOSM now, but it’s only available for people who want to get into the JOSM-Settings…

First you got to click all the checkboxes under http://opengeofiction.net/user/REPLACETHISWITHYOURUSERNAME/oauth_clients/new, enter a any url and fill out the name field. You will get to a page where it says “Consumer Key” and “Consumer Secret”, you got to copy these values into the correspondending fields in the JOSM-Settings. Authenticate and test, you should be done, it works for me.

Happy OAuthing

Hello everyone, it’s the annoying German with questionable Tagging-Policy again ;)

I was wondering if anyone but me would be interested in an OpenGeoFictionRailwayMap, just like there is openrailwaymap.org for the real world. To me it seems that railways are largely ignored, so before I implement something like OGFRM i’d like to know if someone else would be interested too.

For example, so far the only railway-stations with railway:ref are the ones i tagged. There are a few more [railway=rail with ref=](http://osm3s.opengeofiction.net/overpass-turbo/?w=railway=rail AND ref=+global&R) (Don’t cofuse this with railway:track_ref which is used to give a rail a number inside a station, yard or something the like).

If you want to learn more about the OSM-Style of railway-tagging, either ask me a question, write someting in the comments or head over to the OSM-Wiki or use the JOSM-Presets

Kind regards and happy mapping

I started out in Traysville, with the help of Windfarmer and a few other friends which didn’t last long, of coarse we only knew each other over Discord. That project was soon left behind and I stopped playing OGF for a long while. Wen I got back on, Traysville evolved and Larger city’s like Bethesda and South Traysville where added. I decided to find an In-DEV city and help it grow which rapidly cause the formation of Hollman (Margaraths Enclave). Hollman is still In-DEV along with Margarath, and if you are feeling bored come by and add something to Margarath- It sure needs the love! P.S This Entry had to be reconstructed because when I start I set it up as a Role Play format.

Hi everyone!

I was editing some topography and I think I accidentally discovered a good spot for a town, right here. What do y’all think?

Hello, I need some real help with a template I am making. It’s seemed to have screwed everything up and I have no clue what is going on. The template is here (http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/Template:Infobox_football_association). I’d be eternally glad if somebody who knows what they are doing can fix whatever it is going on, everything I try to do makes it worse…I have no use in the world of code x3

Hello fellow mappers,

I’ve had the pleasure to once again visit Prague during the last couple of days; hence I wasn’t able to update the wiki main page, and I forgot to do so in advance unfortunately.

One thing I wanted to share with you though was the following two pictures. I stayed in a cheap hostel at the edge of the old town of Prague. To access it, you had to enter a very inconsiderable front door, which led to a rather run-down stair case. All floors but one were occupied by either the reception or dorms, but on the 3rd floor there was the portrayed door, with a small sign declaring this to be the embassy of the Democratic Republic of Congo in Czechia.

My point is, I often find that when we (and this very much includes me) map embassies (especially our own ones) we tend to go slightly overboard, most commonly even assigning a whole building or even building ground with large gardens. While such embassies exist, they are most commonly found only between major countries, or perhaps due to a colonial past etc. Any two medium sized countries (think below 50 mil) that are not even situated on the same continent will usually not have that much demand for diplomatic office space that it would require a whole building. Of course in the end many other factor play into this as well, aside from the wealth and desire for representation of the represented country the general city shape will play into it as well. In the real world, dense European old town centres will be much less inviting for free standing embassy buildings than new world planned capitals such as Washington D.C. or Brasilia, or cities with generally low property prices such as developing countries. But nevertheless, I think I might go back one day and readjust both some Kojolese embassies abroad (coordinating with the respective mappers) and foreign embassies in Pyingshum.

Hi, OGF-friends!

I need to read opinions of yours about one thing I am thinking last days.

Looks like Itacolomi is so big to Cariocas Islands. There are viaducts, a lot of urban buses terminals, football (soccer) stadiums, etc. Still there are other “big” cities in the country, like Gragoatá and Piratiba, but the “problem” now is focused in Itacolomi.

Currently I am editing Barra da Grama but my plans to 2017 in OGF are about re-creating Cariocas, my first country here.

So, I would not like to simply delete Itacolomi. I am thinking about “transfer” the map to Luslandia, another country I have but not so well mapped yet.

More exactly to Leopoldina, in capital metropolitan area, but obviously with not so much indigenous names.

And, after this, rebuild Itacolomi, but not the same size, and all the metropolitan towns in the area. And the rest of the country, hehehe…

Would be this a good idea?

Abraços a todos! Bruno Moreira

Now i deleted my countrys actual relation by complete accident. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (couldnt get better hm?)

Is anyone willing to have an embassy in my country’s capital? I’m willing to establish diplomatic relations with all nations.

Here’s the link to the embassy square: http://opengeofiction.net/#map=18/19.10169/32.01540

Can someone pleeaaassseeee help me? or at least send me some sort of tutorial that explains how to do it well? Its REALLY STARTING TO ANNOY ME that i cant get these dumb relations correctly. I have created relation deleted them, left out things, etc… i think it need cleaning by a proffessional. Not me. I cant even map river realistically.

I think i have badly messed up the neighboring countries rleations aswell, so @Nikolia i a, sorry if i did so.

It constantly shows up as just a separate country or some weird sh*t.

Dear Diary,

After 9 days of emailing the admin, I finally got my own nation!!! Working on West Bay, the soon-to-be cap city. Still learning the teniques. That’s all.
