Sorry if people are already aware.

On the wiki I get an error message when I try and save a new page at first and then when I have created it it doesn’t appear in ‘Recent Changes’.

Having been chosen by Alessa as the winner of the weekly word, I have the great pleasure of announcing the 12th weekly word. As a lover of ancient ruins, field archeology and the recovery and conservation of heritage, the weekly word is …

ANCIENT

The deadline will be midnight Monday morning (0:00 UTC).

Happy mapping!

Hello all;

Just wanted to take a quick moment to introduce myself. I have taken possession of AN137e, which is now the Commonwealth of Velthuria. The Velthurian language I will be using for naming is pretty much a re-working of Etruscan (I am a lover of ancient history). I have been interested in various aspects of world building for decades, love to collect maps and am a dedicated roadgeek.

I am very new to OpenStreetMap and JOSM, so I am very open to any constructive criticism regarding my mapping. I look forward to meeting everyone here and am looking forward to mapping out my new territory.

Hello, this is my first post here. Actually I was gonna plan to post here in user diary to introducing my country. So the question is, how do I delete things that already uploaded in OGF inside JOSM? I’ve tried to delete roads in JOSM but it doesn’t disappearing and I’ve waited for days but it doesn’t goes off, except when you delete it on the browser editor, which is very time wasting.

I want to delete my city that I’ve been made for a few months, I feel unsatisfied with my city layout turns out and I have been very wrong since the beginning. I wanna start again from the beginning. So what do you think?

Hello everyone / Bonjour tout le monde,

First post. I recently (not actually, it’s been a week…) claimed UL032 and decided to build a capital city anew. But I’m having problems with street block sizes.

Currently, the size is 200m*250m. I know this is a bit big but is it still reasonable? Places like Ottawa have 200m*100m block size I guess.

Thanks!

Austin

At what point of a nation’s development would it be appropriate to create a Wiki Page for it while not Overwikifying it? I was wonering as I was planning for a Wiki Page for my nation, but am not sure if my nation was even nearly developed enought to even think about planning for one.

Thanks, Trombonist2003

Hello, everyone!

After being selected as the winner of the weekly word by Kazuya, I have the honor of calling for the eleventh weekly word.

So this week’s word is

FISH

In an effort to get our timeline back on track a bit, the deadline will be midnight Monday morning GMT (0:00 UTC).

Best of luck and happy mapping! -A

Ran the JOSM validator over this section of map:

http://opengeofiction.net//#map=17/-8.4501/171.8488

And got 13 errors related multipolygons, affecting these items:

relation 74797 relation 74796 relation 74799 relation 74798 relation 74801 relation 74800 relation 74672 way 8175720 way 8175721 way 8175722 way 8175717 way 8175718 way 8175719

And I have no clue how to begin fixing them. If someone could clean this up into something resembling sensible data, it would be appreciated.

UPDATE 8/23/17: The motorways themselves are done in both cities, although I worked off of two existing, half-built, half-under-construction highways in Darsons. Still, I have been working on them non-stop for three days, and I’m glad to say that these cities’ motorways have been finished.

My plans have been sorta like Robert Moses’, without destructing neighborhoods. Ayala is modern, so it will demolish roads in the central city, but the cars still can use the new HUGE motorway to get there without having to walk more than a third of a mile. (Seeing distance)

The Ayala Thruway has further reached Kalabag, as those cities neighbor each other. I didn’t want to just make a 2-mile long stretch of a HUGE UNDERGROUND THRUWAY, so I extended it into Kalabag, and revamped the motorways to act like an outer beltway. (more like inner towards the top though)

Darsons was not 100% successful. I’ve changed plans over and over again, renaming and referencing the roads differently each time. But, I eventually figured it all out. Basically, there are two beltways: 1. The Inner Beltway 2. The South Beltway The South Beltway was called ‘I-706S,’ for South I-706. They put a cardinal direction in interstate numbers sometimes, so I did it this time. It was the original beltway, but when I saw Darsons as a whole, that’s where plans got out of whack.

Hey guys, Welcome to my user dairies, I’ve been editing on maps in OGF and I’ve recorded some content and posted it to my channel visit my channel here.

If you watched my video thanks for watcing and please subscribe.

As I was building my nation, I wondered whether to build the smallest cities first or just start with the huge metropolises (I think that’s correctly spelled). As I was thinking, is it easier to build the outlines to the city and motorways first (Assuming all the nature is planned out) or is it easier to build each city one by one with every street named? I really don’t know how to build my nation st this point anymore. Please help me. I am currently building my nation province by province, but is there a more effective way to do this?

Additionally, I seem to have done something to delete my country name from the map, does anyone know how I can fix it? Do I just have to go to every part of my border and fix my Administrative Boundary relation and Multipolygon? [Zoom out from map.]

The relation is now fixed.

Thanks, Trombonist2003

Hey all, I just aquired some new territory, TA091b, calling it Dogardland, and I was wondering about any help and advice people could give about building cities in the area, placing buildings and all what I might need in a city. Also, any help with how to make stuff look half decent would be great and much appreciated.

Cheers, Jake

I went to download the August 16th backup, and much to my surprise, got a 134-byte PBF file (effectively empty). The August 15th backup looks okay. Hopefully, this will be fixed in time for tomorrow’s backup run…

Hey there,

I have a more or less quick question about, well; I guess the title says it all. I’m not even sure if it’s possible, but I think I’ve seen something like this on the wiki a couple of times, but I might be wrong. The closest thing I actually found was Luciano’s “old” RUTA-VC map, and I wonder whether similar things are possible without an external script. For my personal liking I wouldn’t need to click on the map and have extra info displayed; I’m looking for a way to have a osm-data-fed map that displays route relations for Kojo’s intercity railway services, so I don’t have to bother poor paint (rest in peace) every time I do a tiny change to the network.

Any suggestions welcome! Thanks a lot

How are you people? Sadly can’t participate currently, looking forward to being able to do so again in September or so. Just so you dont think i’ve abandoned you. Best wishes Kingfries

Hi everyone, I wanted to show you some artistic views and short animations of the Planet showing its hypothetic physical aspect, the bottom of the oceans and the clouds layer. These are not official views but just a personal interpretation ( with certainly many mistakes) showing how I imagine this Planet. I did this with Photoshop but I’ve recently discovered “PlanetGen” a light sofware that allows to convert a flat map into a sphere. Plus it spins authomaticly without doing anything. ;) link to other views

Cheers !

During a lull in my mapping work, I’ve redesigned the state emblem of Agarderia during the communist period (1946-1985). Although it is better than the old emblem, it still looks a bit dodgy, although I can’t put my finger on exactly what the problem is. Does anybody have any ideas?

Hey All, so, I’m still in Singapore so I can’t take on big projects, but it has given me time to look back retrospectively on aspects of Tierajas-Verdes, and one thing I have NEVER been happy with is the mountain region to the west of the country, as seen on the map if you click the Location link. I could never get it to look right even in a Macro scale, and I put that down to never really finding a good reference to work off for the mountains.

I will probably only start work on this once back from holiday on the big computer at home, but I want to know some places I can reference mapped in OSM or OGF, that can influence how I style my mountain mapping. I’m looking for like a Sub-tropical rain-forest looking mountain range, or just any with a really high concentration of trees.

Or alternatively, if anybody could give me some tips on how to draw them in a sort of OSM style, I’d love that too!

Thanks in advance! Keep Up The Mapping!

Hi everybody!

There’s not much news from my side currently. However, I wanted to send a sign of life that Norðurland, Liboria and Yleväkivet still aren’t abandoned and vacant.

However, I’m still quite disappointed that the User Diaries still seem to be the Nr. 1 location to get and drop information (at least, nothing else seems to be promoted on the site). For non-permanent-active members, this is - still - a massive pain… There is no thematic ordering, no way to scroll back quickly or to get back to a certain topic… For a community like this, a forum woild be a good place, albeit quite “antiqe” nowadays… I didn’t know how the chat/forum dispute at the beginning of the year was solved finally, but at a quick glance, nothing seems to have changed in the last half year.

Concerning my plans for the rest of the year, I started to (re)map parts of the region north-east of Frjálshöfn, including a new airport under construction which will replace both the international and national airports in Frálshöfn city. Currently, I’m also designing road signs for Norðurland. My main focus will be on the small country with the unspeakable name between Norðurland and Slavonia. I want to finish something here in OGF and Norðurland is too big to get this success in the next 5 to 10 years… ;-)
