Hi everyone. I was thinking… Is there a way to extract the list with the street names of a specific city? The city of Giliarca begins to have quite a number of streets, and it would be very useful to have a list … I do not always remember if the name of a street already exists…

So, I’ve been mapping for about a month, now, initially in central Munz, Commonia, and now in Suya Ahn. I am very, very slowly learning everything I need to work in iD. I have JSOM downloaded, but so far I just haven’t had the time to connect everything and make it all work well. I rather like iD, anyway, so perhaps I’ll stick with that. So far nothing terrible has happened.

Except for that one time I flooded the continent. That sucked.

As I map the story of this country is beginning to unfold, from empire to revolution, civil war, and now shaky confederation. The last is best exemplified by the new capital, Dura Ahn, a planned city nearer the center of the country than Ynn, the old imperial capital: it’s poorly planned, hard to get around, and sterile. Nobody lives there if they can help it. The center is struggling to hold.

Suya Ahn is a poor country, mountainous and cold, where the main source of wealth is the deep, widespread forests. Suya Ahn is also a country of villages, especially in the frigid south. Large cities like the ones of the Shyz Ayu valley are rare elsewhere. Airplanes are the only way to get around in the south.

I have a glossary of place-names and other words that can be used for place and street names in Mer Khara, the language of the dominant, wealthier peoples who live primarily in the three northernmost states. The other languages, one per state, are a mystery as of yet. When I get to those regions, those languages will blossom. I want each language to be recognizable and distinct.

I may throw some of this up on a wiki page at some point. I don’t have a good sense of the population totals, especially broken down by ethnic group, as of yet. I’m also happy to keep a lot of it in my head for the time being. I doubt many of you care about how the Kan Ro tram system was developed anyway!

Today I decided to set Skalenia’s time zone. I looked at various estimations of time zones in the (OGF) world. I settled on WUT +8:45 (WUT +8:30 for Saint-Pascal and surrounding islands) and from March 20th to October 15th, the whole country switches to WUT +9 for DST, which means a 15-minute leap for the mainland and a 30-minute leap for Saint-Pascal and vicinity. I posted this on User Diaries to see if my time zone proposition fits in with already existing time zones.

I’ve been working on Basmia for a while now, but I’m not really happy with my progress and would like to start over. (However, I would like to keep my mountain range because that took a long time to make!)

I’ve sort of gone with American-style city layouts, but I think it could be a whole lot more interesting if I make it more European-looking. Everything seems a bit out of scale as well.

Does anyone know a quick and easy way (either iD or JOSM) to remove all my infrastructure (sans the mountain range)?

Thanks.

So lemme get this straight…literally half of the world in OGF is missing right? so how come there’s no one in the history of OGF discovering the West? So are we in the 1400s or something?

And OGF is the actual civil-advanced planet mother nature told us not to worry about??!

I have just started mapping and I am about to start creating stuff in my first territory. I would like to know for history purposes if their were any world wars in the OGF world? I have checked the list of wars . But I did not find any war that appeared to be on the scale of a world war.

After a very, very, very long break thinking about this, I’ve decided to get back into OGF. I’ve sent a message to admin about my return, and I’m going to wait until I get a response from them until I start mapping again. I have a big project planned, a city called Arlington, that I will start working on when I gain a territory.

Edit- I just realized that I am no longer blocked. Well, to Commonia I go!

I need a fresh new start in my country. If there is someone to help, that could be nice :)
Restoring coastlines, deleting cities and roads and natural creations, such as islands, rivers, water, mountains and many more.

Would it be safe for me to assume a specific country as the official parallel to a real world place if another future country will come with that intent?

As an example, I am assuming that Ataraxie is the parallel of France since there is no other parallel currently in existence. In the future though, there will be a future parallel (UL141 I believe) for it. So is it safe in this case for me to assume that Ataraxie is the “France” of OGF and write a history based on Ataraxie being “France”?

(PS on the wiki page for a proposed war in the past, I placed Bélice in one Pot specifically against Ataraxie as it was seen as the imperialists that were the closest to Bélice culturally like USSR against Russian empire in the rw)

Sorry if the wording is confusing.

(NOTE: I don’t own Ataraxie)

Thanks, Zekiel

I will be constructing several cities and roads connecting them in Project Simaye’. You may already notice the City of Ramani, it’s rather unconnected Beltway, and construction on the Ombo-Ramani Parkway. This project is officially in place, and if you would like to join Project Simaye’, you are free to do so. Just talk to me about it. Thank you

The OGF discord failed, my own Planorian Discord failed. What’s the point?

I really think I can replicate a lot of Canada in the small space I have, so here’s some of my plans:

Southern Planoria

I feel like Planoria needed some kind of northern Ontario feel. So I plan on making it have a bunch of lakes and small towns. Since Planoria isn’t at that winter year long area, I decided to add some big towns but nothing bigger than 100,000.

Northern Planoria

This entire area needs some more detail, I plan on adding more parks to the area and tourist attractions due to me wanting the area more touristy. I’d add farms around the roads but not too much. I want to try and keep it realistic and touristy along the coastline, while still keeping a realistic feel to the rest of the country

Theme Parks

Yeah honestly would fit into Northern Planoria if I didn’t mention I only have 1. I want to at least have a couple around Planoria, especially Northern Planoria. So Far I wanna make the biggest theme park near the capital because that’s the most amount of people which would make the park enough money to be big. I’m using this reasoning because in the real world theme parks would be in cities with a lot of people and relevancy, like how Disneyland is in Los Angeles instead of Sacramento, and why Canada’s Wonderland is incredibly close to Toronto.

I’d like to know your thoughts on my plans.

I’ve been working on a new city for a little bit of time now. Lafort is supposed to be a mostly urban city, with some regions of suburbs. The central region inside Lafort Boulevard and Coast Road is the first region to be developed, and acts as a “downtown” region. It is a major city of Peaceland, and its population is around 400,000. It’s incomplete in many areas, but I want some advice on what I should add and what I need to fix.

I for a long time didn’t care about natural resources because i was, and still am trying to make my country. But looking, i wondered, is there any rules for where resources can be found? Or you guys try to follow a more realistic sense of where the things would be? Because if yes, how do i know where the resources are located ?

The Latina Sea is one of the major oil reservoirs in OGF. And when I was going through the maps of my neighbors, I noticed that some country, like Latina ,extend their territorial waters far into the sea because they got the offshore oil platforms.

I am interested in building some oil drills for my country, the new formed Kaosha . And I want to know if their is any rules of building those oil platforms. Because as far as my knowledge goes, offshore oils are not considered islands and can not extend territorial waters into the sea.

I checked the Rule of Seas and didn’t find anything regarding oil platforms.

I think all countries that talk Ingerish or any “Euro-OGF” language should be colonized in his history bu the actual country (because it is logic isnt?)

How do I number my roads

My JOSM keeps refusing to authenticate? I have tried both my OGF and my OSM username and password and neither are working? any help would be amazing.

Hey everyone,

When I run josm.jnlp, it says “Unable to launch the application”, and when I run the preinstalled JOSM, it runs and shows an error message that says it failed to connect to josm.openstreetmap.de. The home screen says “(Message of the day not available)”, and whenever I try to download something from OGF, it shows the error “Failed to connect to the remote server”.

Does this happen to anyone else? Is there an issue with JOSM servers?

Regards

After a long hiatus from OGF, I’ve decided to maybe come back and do something… (since the long days of summer can get kinda boring). Anyways, I have this project that I want to recreate on OGF. It’s on paper, and the scale is kinda weird, but I would like to see if there is a place that I might be able to recreate this project online.

Here is my project: [Map of Argent] (https://tinyurl.com/y9wt9mxe)

Thanks, ImmortalHawk

P.S. I was wondering if the admin could allocate a country area for me to map. This city is supposed to have a typical climate of a North American City, and is not too far from water (ocean), but is not an island. Thanks
