There have been edits in Vinnmark from adminero_us’s account, but they have caused flooding. Looking in JOSM, the coastline has been substantially altered on top of existing mapping. Is it possible that adminero_us’s account is compromised?

http://opengeofiction.net/#map=16/-46.3288/65.9409 I drew some inspiration from Murapura and Khaiwoon

I was wondering if there is any collection of good examples of highly detailed mapping?

• there’s the FeaturedMap on the main page for larger areas of detailed mapping
• one knows some very detailed locations in OGF like Gobras City, Dunwic, Mynninghamn, Barra da Grama, Khaiwoon …
• what I miss is a collection of links to single “objects”, where you can look-up how to map something, or a list where you can get some inspiration which kind of objects can be mapped to complete a city

So I’ve started a list to collect all of the great places. I will fill the list within the next months. If you know other nice places don’t hesitate to nominate them.

What do you think, is such a list helpful? Do we need more/other categories?

I am really bored so i’m gonna make an ogf travel journal. So I might be doing blue nations first. My location is my starting point

I was looking around and it seems that there may be little emphasis on municipal boundaries on OGF. Is this due to the constant nature of being incomplete or is just lack of interest? Is local government something that is not part of OGF?

I have mapped a few with the intent on altering the boundaries as the community expands or even contracts. I have taken in several factors and they have all presented their own character as to the boundaries have been drawn. Some were mapped with my entry level skill growing to a more novice level.

One example in taking in several factors to boundaries lies with the Town of Lakesite Villages. The town name was even factored into this one. I will give an example of how the boundaries which itself is a work in progress and will change as I look at which parcels should not be within the boundaries of the town.

The town was formed as sort of a resistance to forced annexation from the City of Belleville. Belleville came across the Grand Lake shores and onto land on the opposite side of the lake annexing a parcel of land into the city on Farwood Road. The residents of the then unincorporated areas decided to take action and form a municipality of their own to stop the expansion of the Belleville city limits and it’s high tax burdens. The name could not be agreed upon as each lake finger had a subdivision or community name of it’s own. Since there was no consensus as to which name to take they agreed upon Lakesite Villages. The name coming from the number of lake site homes and the amalgamation of the various communities or “villages” though not actual villages as incorporated communities.

Hi, I worked a lot on this building, it’s made out of many line segments which I connected to a building area. Now, the building doesn’t show up. Why?

EDIT: Problem solved. Thank you!

I geek over arctic/ antarctic places, and this is what I saw on the south pole of the ogf world http://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/-71.1778/9.4599

Hello everyone!

This week the format for the Weekly Word changes, because of a discussion after previous week’s word. With the new format, everyone can enter a submission until Saturday 18:00 UTC. Than the winner will be announced by me on 20:00 UTC. Than the winner recieves the right to post the new Weekly Word challenge next Monday. The winner will also choose the new winner for that week and that person may announce the new Weekly Word.

So, this will probably be my last Weekly Word for a time. It is:

MILITARY

Post your creations in the comments and maybe you will win the right to announce next week’s Word!

I’m at a loss as to what got messed up this time. Can someone look into it?

There is just too much space for one person to add residential zoning to. I’m talking a lot of space. so here is the jist, Anyone in the Commonia Area that is editing near New Commonia in the Upper Thoraqua/ Lower Thoraqua area and has nothing to edit … well I got something for you. I am creating a town “Freetabourgh” at the end of the C12 corridor right after The I-85 exit. This town consists of alot of city space for houses, and other city services. Please feel free to add anything you want, anywhere you want, but please do not cross the border. I am asking this because I am about to go on a holiday to West Virginia, and I will need as much help as possible. I do not want to have to completely do the whole thing a couple days behind where the town should be done… Thank you in advance! P.S NOTHING INNAPORPIATE

Uh oh

I just don’t know what it is, but I suck at sizing stuff, properly. When I look at this area, it just feels off. I tried several methods described here, but I just feel lost.

So, if someone could show me how they would resize it to something more… realistic? That would be awesome and I’d appreciate it.

I am also thinking about opening this nation up to others aswell, so we can map a Dutch/Germanic/Anglo nation together?

http://opengeofiction.net/#map=19/-46.68215/65.50278 I tried my best to make it like the Morningside Avenue in toronto

Perkins Point, a small plot of land with unusually-sized houses, all surrounded by a seawall that even continues onto the land! It has a futuristic type of airport with circular runways, actually researched by the BBC. It is followed by the Greater Perkins Point Area (GPPA) that hosts an [OK] industrial sector by CorpalBrandon and an unfinished Suburbian community. It has a canal for ships and three separate forests (Beatland, Abedies, Point Forests), one with campgrounds. The city is situated near the Drew River Delta NR, a beautiful area, and there is easy access there through Galvin Rd. The city is easily accessible through the N5, Coastal Rd., and Galvin Rd. There are some security bases on the outer islands to ‘Protect’ the area.

Have a nice day.

Lately I tried to re-edit the boundary between Cameron and Ghranata states in Unesia.

It had been a year since I first made the boundaries, so I re-read the tutorial on Administrative Boundaries. It seemed pretty straightforward, yet after several attempts, the [boundary] ( http://opengeofiction.net/way/7888313) didn’t [render] ( http://opengeofiction.net/#map=8/-30.761/166.179).

Another weird thing is that the boundary showed up in JOSM, but not iD. I didn’t notice any breaks in the way, and the end nodes are all connected to the adjacent ways in the relations. I also checked for duplicate ways and found none, so I don’t know what the problem is. Maybe it’s something obvious I’m overlooking, but I can’t see it.

Can anyone help with this?

Can I map my own island in Lonowai District? I somehow cant edit areas in Mecyna, I was making a mountain town, and clicking on an area in the editor dosen’t work

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to point out my new island chain that I am mapping off the Leressan Coast. Any feedback helps.

The OGF planet is even more industrialised than the real world, even though only half the world has been mapped so far. It is thus inevitable that the problems of worldwide climate change, air pollution and fossil fuel shortages would likely be even more advanced than in real life. Whilst we can expect there to be a comparable battle of words and politics going on between governments, the green movement, the oil and auto industries and private citizens, it seems likely that efforts to tackle these problems would be at a different stage to the real world - hopefully more advanced. Either way, the likely state of the world is that oil is getting more expensive as it runs out, and this is going to have the biggest impact on transport.

With this in mind, how advanced is the cycling culture and provision in your country, specifically your cities? It is going to be almost inevitable that citizens are economically pushed towards both electric cars and bikes, and enlightened and democratic governments are going to realise the latter is the better choice to encourage. As a keen cyclist myself, I’ve started mapping in much greater detail the urban cycling provision of Karolia, which is at an almost Netherlands-like level (with somewhat less exclusion of motor vehicles from the city centres, but deliberately limited car parking vs adequate bike parking) and with a comparable cycling culture where cars are seen as a secondary option to be used on longer journeys or when heavy items must be carried. By contrast, perhaps your territory has a piecemeal provision that makes some cheap fixes but overall still favours cars, or is an outright hostile environment for anyone not driving.

Hello,

I’m relatively new to OGF and only started developing my own country a few months ago. I recently began my country’s capital city and now have made an area suitable for embassies. If anyone in interested please feel free to drop in and make one.

If you require more information about my country or anything really please send me a message

Many thanks, Tommypoo

RE-EDIT I’m trying to find out which territory to claim. I’m trying to get a desert country with a long coast to sustain some major cities and an inland desert. Ideally it would be a major muslim-analogue nation. Any advice? Also, are there any Islam or Judaism analouges I don’t know about in OGF?
