OpenGeofiction
Hi, I’ve just got my territory (UL203) and I wanted to make big lakes and modifie the coastline to make it more realistic but I don’t know how to make them, for the moment I can just make little bits because I’m using iD… So I downloaded JOSM because I read that it will be easier to make big and long things. I followed the FAQ advices for editing with JOSM on the map but when I select it in the editing options (iD/Potlatch/JOMS) a message appears : editing failed : make sure JOSM is loaded and the remote control option is enabled. I don’t really understand what does it mean.
Do I do something wrong ? Do you have easier ways to make big and long things for my country ?

Easiest way is to start JOSM and then “File/Download from OSM…” in the menu - select the area you want to edit on the map. Make sure to read “How can I display the Opengeofiction map as background in JOSM?” in the FAQ.
Or you can go to “Edit/Preferences”, select the remote control icon and then check “enable remote control”

Thank you, now it works, I just need to learn how to use it correctly :).

“To display the Opengeofiction map as background in JOSM, add our server to the “selected entries” in the “Imagery preferences” as shown in “josm_02.png”. “Opengeofiction” should then appear under the “Imagery” menu, like shown in this screenshot: josm_02.png”
“add our server” do I need to add http://opengeofiction.net/api ?
When I do that the screen becomes red with “error”.

Thank you so much :), I think I didn’t write it correctly before and my Josm was in French so it was hard to translate.
