Hi all,

I’ve been working on my country ‘Hinton’ for a while now. My work is slightly patchy and, since being moved a few months ago from a different territory, the scale of some of my towns is way off (so I’m looking to fix that).

However, what I am currently mapping is the capital city, Altbridge, a basic British/European-style city. I’m creating some embassies in a small but affluent area of it called Orbourne - I know this is a fairly typical post, but if anybody would like their embassies in the city, please let me know in the comments.

Thanks! KHBritish

The last couple of weeks, people who spoke out about the territory requests taking some time, were silenced (posts removed, comments deleted). I have been waiting to receive a territory for a month now, and that makes me wonder what is going on, nothing more. Hereby, I hope that this diary entry will survive, and hope that we (the ones waiting for their territory) will get some reassurance in getting our piece of land soon.

Well, now my small tropical nation of Xenica has existed on the map for over a year… However, during this time, I feel as if there have been no cohesive ideas for how it will work out.

The plan of Xenica has changed shape a few times. Originally, it was a Singapore-esque city state, full of skyscrapers and modern architecture. I have had to tone down that vision, and now Xenica is more similar to a small Caribbean/Indian Ocean nation, with some urban influence, but much less than before.

Unfortunately, this ‘hopping’ has led to a place, which, at least in my view, doesn’t quite make sense. One user (I think it was Isleño?) referred to the place as looking more like a lot of towns or cities put in one, rather than a unified mass. If you look on the map, there are very awkwardly shaped streets and housing estates, the areas of vegetation and rainforest look like they were put there as an afterthought (I had to strip away motorways and whatnot since ‘nature always comes first’), and using Potlatch 2 probably doesn’t help much in this case.

So, looking at the CBD and into surrounding areas, what would you suggest I should do with Xenica? I certainly believe my territory has much potential.

So i was thinking on Marina island to make a city. Wanna help me!?

Hi, everyone. I was writing a user diary when everything got deleted. I tried recovering but ended up writing it again. It also got deleted… Anyway, the diary was about boundary problems. Can anyone help? sorry for the short description.

Hello, OGF community!

I hope everyone is doing well this fine December day. The last couple challenges (school sites and national days) seemed to strike a positive chord with some users. There’s some fascinating things people are doing!

For December, I want to turn our attention to sporting events and games. What kind of sports are in your country? What kind of games are popular in the schoolyards or streets with your children? There are a lot of ways to go with this:

• Easy challenge: Build a sporting venue such as a football pitch or small basketball arena
• Medium challenge: Build a large-scale venue such as a stadium or complex
• Hard challenge: Create your own unique sport that is popular in your country, draw a necessary playing area, and mention it on the wiki for the world to see

Remember that sporting venues are often multipurpose facilities. Arenas and stadiums can be used for concerts, political rallies, conferences and trade shows, religious events, or even as educational settings. Smaller places like individual fields may be used for picnics, local gatherings, or even just as open green space. Don’t forget to think about transportation, parking, and other amenities. Hunting and fishing grounds are another creative idea!

For example, I created a sporting facility a little while back called La Esportiqa in Salda with football pitches, fields for a sport similar to softball, tennis courts, sand volleyball courts, ice rinks, running paths, and amenities such as a clinic, fast-food stand, and grounds maintenance. A golf course is just to the west.

My plan for this month is to do even more with Salda’s winter sports facilities in the Terraura neighborhood. What do you think you will be able to create? I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Have a great day!

I just wanted to make stuff clear with you all.

I am at ONE HAIR from having JOSM. I just can’t find the right browser to execute Java on. The people over at Java recommend IE, but seriously, IE? That’s outdated! So i’m asking any of YOU, JOSM users….

What kind of browser do you use for running Java, then JOSM?

See you later!

While still building up the rural areas of Antigo, I need this question so at least I cam design nice farms by myself. (Honestly there should be a guide on this; this is very important.)

Hey Guys,

Hope everybody is doing great!

I just had the idea of founding an insta accoubt for OGF. I mean that what a lot of you doing is real art! And I think it would be great to share this with others out of OGF.

Ofc someone has to dothe whole work to lead that Account. But Im also thinking that something like this would be worth the work and that we definitely will find somebody which would do that.

Just an Idea…

Marry Christmas and happy discussions

Hi, everyone, I was editing on the map when I saw that when I was tracing a line, it did not appear, and when I was done with my approximate vision of the line, it was all over the map. Is there something wrong with my computer? Or is there something wrong. with the map/program?

I have made a little region in this Commonia called San Marcos, inside of Tintaille region.

Well, Tintaille is not a great region, and there are hardly any cities, so I ask you all to help me creating cities around San Marcos.

I have created San Marcos with the idea of making a “little special region” in Commonia, where the taxes might be lower, there are different laws… You know, like a special region in countries like China (Hong Kong and Macao) and Sweden (Äland islands).

Thank you to everybody if you help me

Bye

(Sorry if I have made mistakes, I’m already learing English!)

7.2 earthquake hit where I live (IRL, not on OpenGeofiction), so I probably won’t be on for a while.

Commonia’s land area relation has all its members accidentally removed two months ago.

Could someone fix this relation for Commonia?

Thanks in advance,

hello there

ok so here i’ve got a mix of palace-castle (more like a palace than like a castle) and I really like how it looks! but… I made a weird mess by doing it TOO BIG. I’d love that there was a way that it could be copied and pasted but less bigger…

Anyway if there was a method, it’d be impossible for me, as I map on iD and can’t get JOSM because I don’t have a computer… So if someone knows how to help me, I’d give permission and I’d be so pleased!

I made a template to count inhabitants of my country based on mapping, but it can be used by everybody:

• add to each residential building the key “ogf:count” with the value “inh_?_” (many values between 1 and 250 inhabitants are available)

• use the template {{Count population

  area = name of the country}} in the wiki

• more can be read in the wiki

so I was looking at my cities till i noticed that people deleting and changing Them!!!! please stop! cities : Banlo, Actertoin(lost)

Something’s gone wrong when I try to save my edits. It gives me the text box to describe my change, but it doesn’t give me the option to actually save it. Nothing really seems to be wrong that I can notice, the edits that I haven’t uploaded are on my screen and my internet seems fine. Is there anyone who knows how to fix this?

Hi,

I have been playing around praticing different mapping skills on Läxland. Now it’s probably time to decide how Läxland should look like geographically.

I have always loved lakes, so I am thinking of a lake-land-landscape like one in Finland with Saimaa lake which could be fun to map, but perhaps doesn’t suit with my location geografically.

Or a lake to the south like Lake Lagoda in Russia formed by continetal glacier or was a part of a primitive sea.

What do you think i should go for to be realistic, should i stick to large areas of forest, rivers and bog?

The “Zalghira Space Center” in Gardensa is now fully mapped. I hope you think it’s good, otherwise I can correct anything. As I said in a previous post, the Republic of Gardensa is small, and so the Space Center (also because of its tropic-equatorial position, suitable for the orbits of the rockets) hosts missions from other countries. Then, who among you is interested and think that its country can benefit from it, please let me know, so I’ll take it into account when I update the Wiki. Thanks eleinads
