Alas, someone’s managed to flood 2 continents at once-Uletha and Tarephia! I hope it gets fixed soon. Is this a new OGF record?

Further to thilo’s announcement below, is there anyone in the UK who would like to take part in some kind of meet up in the coming weeks? Easter holidays are nearly upon us which means I at least will have some free days. Where is the most central geographical location we could use? Who can travel the most easily?

Alternatively we can have another Hangouts chat.

Earlier i noticed another user has designed a fort on the shore of Gobras City northeast of downtown that despite the coastline having been edited, these edits have not shown up after several days. I have even attempted to look at this coastline section to see if there was something missing in the attributes preventing it from updating. The coastline is contiguous with the other sections and is in the proper way direction. Is their some form of coastline update protection in place that is preventing this section of coastline data from being updated. .

What was your first town? Is it still on the map? How bad (or how good) was it? Did you create it directly in the editor or did you make the town before you started on OGF? What did you learn?

Well, hi! I did this thing in open teritorry and (i put nearby city for comparition) completely broke the scale. Do i need to remove it? Because i kinda like how it looks, also it’s my first city. And other question - i know that I need a few more days to claim a country but i’m asking anyway: are “ER” “KA” “OR” and “PE” continents still in construction? If they aren’t, anyone knows when will they be allowed for building?

Sorry for my bad English, it’s not my native language.

I am now being prompted to get a token through OAUTH to upload data to OGF from JOSM

Hi, I newly started this airline of Riko, and I need some routes to fly to. If you want Riko Airways at your airport and your country, write down your destination here (City and Country). Thanks!

histor, joschi81 and I are going to meet in Hamburg, Germany, on the weekend of April 23/24 to have a two-day workshop about all things Opengeofiction. Though we’re all members of the admin team, the focus of the meeting is intended to be on the geography, history and everything else related to our respective countries rather than on administrative issues.

Anyone interested to join us? We’d be more than happy to meet some other members of this community in person. If you’re interested, please let us know, the sooner the better.

I’ve been messing about in Carpathia and, since I’m very rail oriented, I decided to adopt the OpenRailway tagging system for my country. I stumbled upon this group as I was searching for a way of detailing my railway.

In practise I don’t think anything changes since our renderer cannot handle these kind of information. Either way, it’s just a way of tagging some aspects that are not traditionally shown or cared about.

They have their very own wiki page osm.wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging

What do you guys thing of it?

So some cities have attractions, from zoo’s to waterparks to amusement parks to everything in between, so what is your attraction? Share it with the rest!

Here is mine:

This was discussed in the wiki but I was thinking if we could create a language group spanning Kojo, Hoppon, Belphenia and Paxtar based on the Hopponese, Nihonish and Kojolese languages. If possible we could create a birthplace for these languages if the surrounding users were okay with it, in Wiwaxia or Ataraxia also Wiwaxia, Ataraxia and Pasundan-Padjadjaran could have ethnic minorities who spoke a Pseudo-Japanese language.

I hope by creating this user diary we could create a name for this language group and establish a region were the “Proto-people” or pioneers of the original language lived. I wouldn’t want to put limits on any of my neighbors but would like if they could help with the possible formation of such a region into their early histories. Any country who wants to be included and is near the region feel free to add your own language. In fact you could be on another continent like Paxtar and can add to the language group. I don’t want to restrict anyone and just want to make a history.

For names I already have a few. Axian Language Group (Axian Peninsula)

Palian Language Group (Sound of Pa)

“Unnamed Peninsula” Language Group (Peninsula were Kojo, Belphenia, Orinoco, Xerneas and Hoppon are located on, the larger peninsula that the Axian Peninsula spurns from)

Paxian Language Group (Sound of Pa+ Axian Peninsula)

Soulethan Language Group (Southern Uletha although it is in SE Uletha)

Pre-word

Hello, so I think a proper introduction is at place, is it not? My name is Legendardisch, I traverse places like r/worldbuilding and Nationstates, I have come to learn about OGF via r/worldbuilding. So I like to write and build worlds. I had a lot of issues with JOSM but I have learned to do stuff in iD and Potlach 2. Currently I am working on my fictional nation Legendardisch inside of OGF.

First town

So the first town what worked on was Reinoud, a small town north of the capital, it was a playingfield for me, to try and understand the editors. There are some errors, but I will work on Reinoud later on

You can find Reinoud here , every building is hand drawn and most houses have a house number. Some other things I need to do is put in the municipal borders and suburbs/neighborhouds, But I haven’t grasped the whole relation system yet, but it will come!

I’ve got 2 issues on my mind right now:

I’m stuck on what to do for Decton’s town centre. There is a significant amount left to be completed but I’ve got no ideas on what to put in it. I’m thinking of turning Decton’s Centre temporarily into a ‘blue zone’, which anyone can edit. This way I can finish it quicker.

Rules I propose will be:

1. You can only make buildings-do not alter existing structures.
2. Minor edits to streets are fine, but overall I have the last say. Please do not delete anything without consulting me first.
3. Try to blend in with my/everyone else’s style.
4. Keep in mind the context, which is based in England.

Meanwhile, I need to do something else. What do you think I should do? Here is my to do list so far:

1. Fix Ellmouth. It looks a total mess. Low priority, as this will require a lot of time.
2. Finish my Historical Decton project (see my previous diary entry) Medium urgency, as I need to green up the area there.
3. Do something with the landscape (Fix and add rivers, make the rest of Glaster green) Medium urgency, as my country’s infrastructure depends on this. It is currently happening at a very slow pace.
4. Fix the port around Reyston, which hasn’t been changed much since I came. Low urgency, can be done at any time without consequence.
5. Reduce and alter the courses of my motorways. High urgency, as this alters my country in its entirety. Currently not happening
6. Add in and fix existing minor country roads. Urgency is low, as that would probably come after the ‘greening’
7. Add details to other settlements (My current choices are either Wyndham, Plowford or Tibrin) Urgency: High. I want to do this. Sort of. I feel guilty if I start another project before I’ve finished my current one. In fact, the only large settlement that is currently wholly complete is Stewhampton.

I had mentioned before that I was struggling to figure out the Woolport subway system. I may have made a little progress.

Here’s the link to the OGF map of Woolport… http://www.opengeofiction.net/#map=12/-30.5957/32.9494

Using Google drawings and trying to trace the subway tracks, understanding the slight influence from New York City, I was able to come up with this:

I don’t think everything is accurate yet, but this is my first attempt. Does it look somewhat accurate to you guys?

whats the tallest Skyscraper in your largest city? How many floors does it have?

Can someone please reverse the flood.

Since my move from Archanta to Uletha I’ve had to re-jig my international connections. As such I’m once again asking to set up some air routes for Myrcian Airways.

Dunwic International Airport is a large, international hub for north-western Uletha and so I’m looking for flights across the northern hemisphere and I want to have them for both Myrcian Airways and your own airlines.

Hello everyone!

It’s been a few months since my last progress update and a lot has changed since then. I’ve been working on all kinds of projects, and there are even more to come. But I’m working slowly on this city and not rushing it.

Autistic as I am, I’m keeping track of everything and made a scheme of my progress including dates and color labels here.

Furthermore, I’ve been working on two specific projects lately: the port and the metro system. None of them are remotely finished, but it’s taking shape and I would like to share some of it with you.

Port of Trevers

I’ve never been quite good at making ports, and there is not really a “concept” for how to make a perfect one: there are so many different kinds and sizes in the world. But I think I made quite a good start roughly sketching the quays, basins and docks. There is also a new canal to connect the eastern branch of the port with the river Vale. I made a few dams so I didn’t have to change too much about the water circulation again.

There is also a ferry terminal right here. I’ve been trying to work as detailed as I possibly could, leaving some elements not even rendered by Mapnik, but they’re there. There is currently one connection and I hope there will be many more in the future.

In front of the ferry terminal I’ve build some storm surge barriers, to make sure the boats and passengers are safe. These to barriers are on each side and will rotate to the middle point when water is getting to high or too rough.

Trevers Metro

Whenever I post my diary entry’s it duplicates the post. Is this a site issue or just me?

I have a airport with 7 Runways ( About as many as o’hare in Chicago ) I have not seen vary many airports in surrounding areas though.
