Personal Use

Posted by AngryGroceries on 16 July 2018 in English.

I’ve been using this site for about a day, but I do realize this is a private worldbuilding project and not strictly a tool. I really like the iD editor, but I’m trying to figure out how I can use it for my own personal use instead of a contribution to the project, because my setting doesn’t exactly fit the guidelines. The answers I’ve found online seem trustworthy, but some level of coding seems to be required, and I’m no programmer. I’ve tried using the JOSM editor, but I still much prefer iD. Might the community have any suggestions?

Welcome to OGF! See here about setting up your own server.

This is not really a private worldbuilding site. It is where a community come and make a fictional world together. Though, of course, it is actually created by the great god Thilo who made the site open to the rest of us.

You can find Luciano for help, or the admins. However, if you would like to contribute to our world, you are welcome to start mapping in any of the blue territories, such as Gobrassanya or Midistland.

“…it is actually created by the great god Thilo…”

?

Thilo is the one who created this site anyway. It will be humorous to say he is thy great god for OGF…

Haha, Thilo must be proud to be called the god of OGF world.

My setting is set in contemporary Europe so I suppose it fits in this context, I’ll just leave out the parts about lovecraftian horrors terrorizing the townsfolk

@Angry Groceries: Hello, I have noticed your mapping is located in the middle of the ocean, where you are not supposed to edit.

On the overview map the blue territories are where new users are supposed to edit.

Thank you and happy mapping,

yoyo21 :)

I had no idea, I assumed blue background meant blue country. How do I move it to a proper spot?

@ AngryGroceries I mean I can run a copy-paste for you on JOSM. Just give me a spot to paste at.

See here to know where blue territories are.
