Flag of Tojmidia

I have been working on Tojmidia for about 6 months on-and-off, but now I’m hoping to have a more definite goal for where the country is headed.

In the past few weeks, I have added administrative boundaries to all of Tojmidia and have undertaken work on Faarva state/province. Faarva state/province has seen the majority of my time. Fallo itself will take at least another month to complete, by which point I will move on and try not to add tiny pointless details like mapping individual trees (an urge I have to fight).

Once Faarva is done being roughly mapped with a few pockets of detail (Fallo and surrounding areas), I will start mapping Bolgan, a significantly larger city in Karitoft. Alvermod will come after that, (it’s more awesome because it has a coast) and Olbayan, the capital, after that. This means that it may be months before Olbayan sees significant mapping due to my preference of completing an area before I move to the next.

Hi fellow geoficticians.

I have returned from my 12 day trip to Queensland, Australia. I am always somewhat inspired to visit there, because I suppose some aspects of Ardisphere’s PHYSICAL geography are inspired by that place. Although culturally / politically, Ardisphere is definitely Latin American, the natural aspect takes inspiration more from Australia - you will notice things like eucalyptus trees, kangaroos and platypuses, too, mixed in incongruously with African and American species. The place is basically a zoo.

Here are four representative pictures.

For you infrastructure fetishists, here is a view of the excellent Brisbane regional rail, taken from inside the International Terminal.

For city people, here is a view of Brisbane at night, from the river.

Hello everyone,

my OSRM-based Routing service will be down for maintenance on Saturday, I’ll update it from OSRM 5.5.0 to 5.11.0, besides a number of bugfixes this update will include a nice set of new features, for example excluding certain types of (predefined) way-types, more Algorithms and a new API-Level.

Regarding the runlevel exclusion of certain types I’d implement only motorways, trunks, ferries and toll routes, due to the fact that each type adds some processing time, how much exactly i can only tell after fully implementing everything.

Kind regards

Martin

I was wanting to try the OGF scale helper again and was wondering if others had come across a problem I found. When I try the scale it works on the OSM (OpenStreetMap) end, but I can’t with OGF (OpenGeoFiction). What’s going on? Do I have to zoom up or down to scale, or is it something wrong on the site’s end?

I’ve just been wondering as I like the tool instead of trying to export a map manually to get scalings right.

Any info or tips?

Thanks,

JBStad1

Hello there!

As probably none of you remember, I joined OGF about 5 months ago. I was somewhat active in the first few weeks, building a small town here.

I had a plan for the town, but never finished it, mostly because I just didn’t really know what i was doing. I eventually forgot about OGF. But I’ve recently remembered that it exists, and am thinking about coming back.

So, I think the first thing I will do is potentially rebuild this town from the ground up. Now that I kind of sort of know what I’m doing, I think I can make it a lot better this time. I’ll figure out what kind of style I’m going for by looking at some real world towns and cities from OSM, as well as looking at surrounding cities on the island.

I hope to permanently become a part of this community. I’ve loved the idea ever since I stumbled upon it, and although there seems to be a lot to learn, it seems like fun too.

As always, any tips or feedback or whatever is appreciated. Us noobs need all the support we can get! :P

Hi everyone, I have updated the political map of Antarephia , but there is still some unnamed geographical places, like the bays and gulfes around the mainland. Looking throughout different wiki pages I’ve found a couple but many are still missing.

I’ve proposed for example Calliesanyo Bay for the waters bording Kalisaanyo in the South as it seems to be an important country of that region. But that can be changed.

That could be good to fix and make a map showing the names of the waters around Antarephia, because enven if Countries name can change with time, the name of the waters can tell an history of the regions like the Andover Gulf. Cheers !

Good morning to all New Users. I’d Like to ask all of you to spend some time browsing the various FAQ and wiki pages here. This isnt meant to be rude in any way at all but it seems like a lot of your questions could be answered by that fairly easy. Obviously we will still help each other here as much as we can, we all started without knowing how this works.

Have a nice day,welcome and Happy Mapping! :)

I am really unsure if my work is still unrealistic, but I never really mapped some kind of hotel as detailed as this, so I ask if you think it is nice?

The entire area has an edited coastline which is kind of more realistic, than my other builds. (The entire area is based off of Grand Bahia Principe in Punta Cana, and Sunscape in Montego Bay Jamaica)

I mapped some islands as a future area where the hotel would have scuba diving and a bar nearby just in case the guests would like a drink after they scuba dive.

Other work I have made is a small little trailer park for a friend here.

My friend mapped a park nearby and I added some scenic trails.

I have done some other stuff on Planoria, first off I remade the lake to be realistic.

How is it?
