After months of work the region of Edetanea begins to resemble the idea that I have in mind. In the coming weeks I will map more details of the small towns, especially Pujo and Maternea, since Pucena is practically concluded. When I finish these regions, I have doubts as to whether undertake the task of detailing the maritime neighborhoods of Edetanea or developing the region of Cubenea del Lago and Iliana.

Between May and June I will finish detailing the Sierra Espadanea and I will create the Sierra de Cuerna, as well as the rivers that depend on these. With this, I will have completed the physical structure of the Edetanea Region. According to this rhythm of work I calculate that I can finish Castilea Archanta with a level of detail according to the region that I am currently completing in the year 2073 …

I have been working on the Midistland Canal today. I would like for it to be a canal similar to Panama. Midistland is in a strategic part of Uletha and I would like to emphasize that with a large shipping canal through the country. There is already a large lake in place in Midistland to support such a canal. I would like to add service roads, rails, locks, and small and large cities to support the canal. Everyone is welcome to get involved.

The Canal

Dear mappers,

As central and western Ulethan states have no political, economical and cultural alliance they can be part of (EUOIA is for eastern Uletha only, the Uletarephian Union is inactive and very limited, the Southern Uletha Economic Cooperation Council is, as the name says, only destined for southern Ulethan states…), I thought it would be a pretty good idea to create an alliance for states in the entire continent of Uletha, the Ulethan Alliance, ruled from Gobras City and the other five founding countries’ capitals. What do you think about it?

Sure, I know, it sounds a little superfluous, but I think it is a good way to get to know other active mappers in Uletha, maybe to collaborate with them, to create institutions and organizations on continental level (like the “Ulethan Capital of Culture”) and to strengthen relations between countries.

If you’re interested in the UA, you can even be one of the 6 founding members of the organization :)) Just write it down below!

More information about UA here.

Hey Guys, How do you all add such amazing TopoMaps? Could someone please explain how to do it to me?

Thanks

Hey everyone, after visiting some countrys i’ve noticed that a lot of people misuse tags to make it look better rendered. The most common one i’ve encountered was the misuse of the name tag (in general), but in particular railway-related. Writing the name of the lines served at a specific station in there makes it a lot harder to change lines, also that’s not really what that tag is intended for.

I would love it if more people would use OSM as an example and start using relations for lines, IMHO it’s a lot easier, but maybe someone needs to copy the OSM Transport layer for that to happen, as we know that the mapping features are only used if they are rendered somewhere…

On a related note, start using railway=halt more, here in Germany every railway=station that doesn’t have a switch is considered an halt, in OGF one should check placed stations if railway=halt wouldn’t be a better fitting alternative.

This is still work-in-progress (Thilo just uploaded new, incomplete version), but it is way too cool not to share. Totally cool.

Happy mapping.

I am a fairly new user and would like some help with my last city before Tuesday, when I get my own land (That I might turn into a collab.) Anyway, feel free to help Kuaku City of Lonowai District. Thanks! ~Kai

Hello Everyone!

Feel free to use Nikko Towers in your city! The towers usually have an untagged line leading to a circular parking lot surrounded by towers which are surrounded by forests or parks. Nikko Towers are currently in the cities of…

Please contact me when you put up your Nikko Towers so I can make the wiki page (Please, please, please DO NOT make a wiki page for Nikko Towers, I own it.)

Thanks Everyone :) ~Kai

After @eklas ‘ diary entry, i created a page titled “Slevic” for all the Slevic languages to put on as a family. There is just one problem. The name Syrillangan (i am repeating eklas’ words) does not sound normal to the Syrillangan person. However, the other names propsed sound too similar to “Slavs” or “Slavic”.

There is a problem in this because we need to come up with a name that makes sense, isnt biased on Russian spelling, and sounds normal to the Syrillangan person.

Please i would just like to say:

There are multiple linguistic, cultural, religious and mentality differences between West and East Slavs, please do NEVER CATEGORIZE US AS ONE BIG GROUP OF THE SAME PEOPLE. It annoys the hell out of me, and i wanted to emphasize that we are not the same as the Russians. We have different ways of doing things. Including spelling.

Here we can discuss this issue:

I was working in Kirchenburg’s city branding. I think what i love the most about OGF is the oportunity to design for so many different fictional brands and business. I really enjoy it, more than mapping i think haha. I’m thinking about placing a design studio in Kirchenburg which is the one that makes all the design stuff in Welstand-Westrijk. Thinking about calling it Plotter studio. Is not said in Kirchenburg’s wiki page, but the otter is the symbol of the city. It’s on the coat of arms of the city, and the citizens are commonly known as otters. So Plotter studio can be a great name. They’ve made the Brutto supermarket logo too haha.

Here is the Kirchenburg’s city branding use http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/File:Usologo.jpg

The colors are the the Kirchenburg’s flag colors. Black,blue,white + yellow (Welstand province color)

What yout think about it? I’m open to work for anyone in OGF designing stuff for their brands, cities, countries, tourism branding, sport, etc

:)

Happy mapping!

Good Afternoon,

Because I have dealt with this problem TWICE in less than a week, I am going to repeat a statement from several of our fellow mappers:

Do NOT edit in someone’s territory without their permission.

If you cannot find a list of ‘open’ or ‘collaborative’ territories,

I understand that you all are new, but please read the rules before diving in to mapping!

Thanks Everyone

So, this part of ocean in an area I recently modified is acting up and a bit of ocean that is and always was ocean shows up as land.

Interestingly, the southern edge of this area is a straight line starting at this node and ending at this one, which are approximately the ends of the modified area. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Afternoon everyone,

I need to fix some unauthorized edits in Wustesonne. Is there a way I can ‘Undo’ or restore the area to it’s previous state?

Thanks for your help!

Hey Guys!

I would like to announce that; after delivering its first 20 aircraft to a foreign airline(BalonisAir), i am putting up an offer for you guys to select any MIC aircraft of preference (their descriptions and info on the company are here), and use in your airlines on OGF.

I am aiming for MIC to be the OGF version of Airbus, and i wanted to get a headstart in the industry.

Please let me know if you want to order below.

Thanks!

Hello all! I’ve just made my first Bliki Blog on the wiki today (Ohhhhh now I get the name…seriously :P It only just came to me) which should replace somewhat monthly updates on my progress everywhere, offering more opportunity for you all to comment on anything to help or just give positives ^^. February’s entries can all be found in one place! http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/User:Aces_California/Bliki/February2017

Updates might be semi-frequent…meaning anywhere between every week to every month.

So, for the past one and a half month I’ve been working on the district of Ráj nad Mlžnicí and now I’m ready to share it with the world. Best enjoyed at zoom level 13.

Below is some info about the region.

Landscape and nature

• Forests. They cover the vast majority of the region.
• Hills and mountains. The area is full of cliffs, tall peaks, wild streams as well as peaceful rivers running through majestic valleys.
• Marshes and swamps. Most of them are under strict protection. They’re home to many endemic animal and plant species.
• Meadows and pastures The soil is not very fertile, which means animal agriculture is prevalent.

Notable places

• Teplá nad Křižvou. A lovely town of five thousand inhabitants, known for its old monastery and mineral water springs.
• Ráj nad Mlžnicí-Šatava. These two times grew into one over time. Ráj is now the capital of the district. Its romantic old town, the Šatava castle and the tall railway bridge attract thousands of tourists each year.
• Kutry. In case you couldn’t tell, it’s one of the most popular ski resorts in Drabantia. And while Drabantian mountains obviously aren’t the tallest in the world, good service and reasonable prices make it a favorite spot of many.
• Razníky mountains. The tallest peak, Velký Razník (1562 m), is also the tallest in the country. One would expect the mountains to be a popular winter holiday destination- but most of the range is nowadays a national park and another big portion serves as a military training area.
• Narrow gauge railway Lotrovice - Šumná na Boravě. The steepest curve on this railway has only about 90 meters in radius. It should have been deconstructed years ago, but thanks to the local train enthusiasts it’s still used for nostalgic steam train rides until today.

Hi, friends from OGF!

After a long time away from OGF (since november 2016), I am trying to come back to edits in OGF.

I get married, I had a very good honey moon in Natal, RN (Brasil) - a place where I got nice pictures to use in OGF soon -, and… I was fired. Since then, I did not have time to OGF, exactly because I was looking for a new job.

Well, as “I think” I found a new job - offshore again, but not better than the last one - I consider there is time to edits in Brasonia, Belgravia, Luslandia and Cariocas right now again, hehehe.

Regards to all!!!

I have been working on Midistland for weeks now. I’ve worked not only on very minor parts of Tengah and Termapolis, but… I created many of the towns surrounding Tengah! That includes… Traysville, Bethesda, and Motorway Island. Please understand that I am experienced, even though I have only been here for a couple weeks. So, I am therefore moving on from the Tengah region in Midistland to Khaiwoon. Khaiwoon is SO perfect. I love everything about it. The cartography, the mountains, the swirves and curves… It’s really cool! So, I am requesting privileges for building with my Khaiwoon friends, isleno. I hope you listen to this, isleno! Thank you! Goodbye.

Hello Mappers!

I am inviting experienced mappers to help with developing New Berles in Drevet into a ‘showcase city’ to encourage collaboration in Drevet and in other parts of the world.

The goal is to establish a small-medium sized city of 250,000 to 300,000 people with a small harbor and a regional/small international airport. The city center was established in the 18th Century and pre-dates modern urban planning.

This project can be broken into smaller chunks. However, work on the historical center, or suburban towns must be the first piece of this project taken on.

I’ve been having great fun with Overpass API the last few days.

Does anyone have any good scripts to share? Any advice on using it?

I created this one to give me an idea of the road networks in Dunwic.
