__NOTOC__''This is a page for experienced mappers to identify and contact new users editing in the wrong places.  Instructions are as follows:''


=What is a topo layer?=
# '''Search:''' The new user list below is updated every 30 minutes, listing the newest user with map edits at the top. Click on a username (skipping any on the "Contacted users" list) and then click "Edits" to see where they're editing. Users with "B" next to their name have an active block, and "b" have been blocked in the past.
# '''Confirm & List:''' If they seem lost, look at the [[OpenGeofiction:Territories|overview map]] to make sure they do not own the area, and check the "Contacted users" list below to confirm they haven't already been contacted.  If they're not on the list, <span style="background:#FFFF00">''add them''</span> at the top. Use the format <code><nowiki>* {{OGF user|NEWUSERNAME}} ~~~~</nowiki></code>
# '''Contact:''' Send the user a friendly message (see [[#Suggested message|suggested message]]) via OGF inbox.  If they are violating [[OpenGeofiction:Site policies|other rules]] (e.g. well-known place names, real companies/organizations, unrealistic content/scale, etc), you can mention those things as well.
# '''Check back:''' If they don't reply to your message, look in on their mapping later. If they are still editing inappropriately, [https://opengeofiction.net/message/new/admin notify admin].
# The ''recent edits'' list on the [[OpenGeofiction:Dashboard|Dashboard]] is also a useful resource, as is the daily [[OpenGeofiction:Activity|activity map]].


That's easy! The term "topo" (short for topographic) refers to a style of map that shows the physical elevation of land, either through shading or drawing contour lines or both. There are many topo renders available for the OpenStreetMap platform. My own favorite for daily use is the [https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=8/55.630/-132.393&layers=Y Cycle Map layer on OSM] - not for any specific reason except that it's easy to get to - it's included right there in the layer selector for the OSM site. The best known, however, and one of the oldest, is the separately built and maintained [https://opentopomap.org/#map=8/55.630/-132.393 OpenTopoMap]. The code for OpenTopoMap is freely available on [https://github.com/der-stefan/OpenTopoMap github].

=How is a topo layer made?=
----
* ''Please add to the top of this list, not the bottom.''


All the various implementations of topo style for OpenStreetMap rely on the easy availability of free data from the United States' NASA. This agency did a planet-wide survey of the elevation of all the land in the world on an arc-second (approx. 30-meter) grid, using radar, and published that data, online, for anyone to use. [https://www.hammermissions.com/post/how-to-download-and-use-nasa-srtm-digital-elevation-models-dems-with-commercial-drones This data is called "SRTM"]. Developers implementing OpenStreetMap's various topo layers are able to download and use this SRTM data to use as a raw source of the detailed topographic information needed to draw the map. So, in the case of OpenTopoMap, the SRTM data is loaded to the render machine, processed in various ways, and turned into the hillshading, contour lines, and map-elevation color shading that we all know and love.

=Does OpenGeofiction have a topo layer?=
==Suggested message==
 
<pre>
Yes it does! But it's not a simple thing to have or do.
Hi there, I just noticed your recent mapping in OpenGeofiction.
 
Think about it: as explained above, for the real world, getting topo data is matter of launching a spacecraft or satellite with a little radar range-finder on it, and flying over the surface of the earth finding how high each part of the earth is relative to some baseline (i.e. mean high sea level). Easy! But OpenGeofiction is on a fictional planet. To repurprose Virginia Woolf's famous line: There's no there, there.
 
Instead we have to sit down and ''make up'' each square of elevation information - there's got to be a 30-meter square grid for our entire imaginary planet, and we have to invent the elevation for each and every square! And just randomizing this isn't going to work - real world topographic data betrays the evolved geophysical patterns of our planet, influenced by everything from plate tectonics to vulcanism to erosion to human landscaping. The data is going to have to either be "drawn" by creative human hands, or "drawn" by well-trained machine-learning AI's. Both are possible in principle, but then we have the data problem.
 
The data problem is this: the NASA SRTM format was developed for storing real world data. But no one ever thought: ''we need a nice, user-friendly, SRTM file editor!'' Why? Because no one needs to ''edit'' real-world data. It came from a super-precise scientific gadget, who's going to need to edit that? They could only mess it up.
 
So there simply ''does '''not''' exist'' any easy way to get the "imaginary" SRTM files that we need for our topo layer. Some geofiction genius is going to need to write a converter.
 
Luckily, OpenGeofiction has such a genius. The original creator of OpenGeofiction, Thilo, wrote a little program that turns a standard OSM XML format file (.osm) that has been filled with hand-drawn contour lines into a pseudo-SRTM format file (.hgt). Then we just need to install the standard OpenTopoMap software on our render server, copy the pseudo-SRTM files across, and voila, topo for OGF!
 
Still, we have a whole planet to cover. At this point in time (the time of writing this article, early 2022) the overall coverage for OGF's topo layer is tiny, and of fairly low quality, on average, so far.
 
=Where can I see OGF's topo layer, right now?=
 
For ease of administration and maintenance, the "active" areas of the topo layer for OpenGeofiction are divided into "zones." There are currently 10 active zones, which are as follows (in alphabetical order by their somewhat arbitrary names).

Unfortunately, you can't edit everywhere in our world - we have some rules! So before making any more edits, please take a moment to read the [site policies page,](https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/index.php/OpenGeofiction:Site_policies) which has instructions for new users.

=What are the technical specifications of the OGF topo layer?=
Please note that new users can edit only in the blue territories on the [overview map.](http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/index.php/OpenGeofiction:Territories) After 7 days, you can contact admin to request to own a green territory, following the [territory assignment](https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/index.php/OpenGeofiction:Territory_assignment) guidelines.


The OGF topo layer is called ogf-topo in the code base. It is rendered on the current main render server, tiles04.rent-a-planet.com. This server is also aliased as tile.opengeofiction.net.
If you have questions or anything, just let me know. Thanks for understanding, and welcome to our world!


You can find the tiles at this path (e.g. for adding as a TMS image layer to JOSM or iD):

Maximum zoom is the same as for OpenTopoMap: zoom=17
[[Category:Site maintenance]]
 
It's "layer code letter" is "V" (this is a suffix to the URL, e.g. ''"...&layers=V"'').
 
The topo render database receives incoming replication from the main apidb (opengeofiction.net) which currently "ticks" about every 10 minutes (not minutely, as in OSM). However, low zooms (less than 10) require special processing to a separate "lowzooms" database which is done much less frequently: currently, about every 2 weeks.
 
=The OGF topo layer isn't showing something I added/deleted correctly. Why?=
 
We have had problems since the migration to the new platform with occasions where the render data seems to get "out of sync" with the apidb (the map database, AKA rails port). This can result in the persistence of deleted objects in the render, or the failure of newly added object to appear in a timely fashion. We are aware of this problem, and even working to solve it, but currently it is an open, unsolved problem.
 
=How can I add my own work to this above list of topo layers?=
 
Contact [https://opengeofiction.net/user/Luciano Luciano] via direct message in OGF, or send me an email (luciano&#x1f40c;geofictician&#xB7;net) or a ping in OGFC (OGF's discord server). We can discuss. First and foremost, '''do not upload contour lines or data''' to the OGF map directly! That's not how it works.
 
In the past, I've often said, "Send me a draft contour line file in in .osm format" (i.e. something drawn using JOSM, saved, and sent to me). But I'm going to change this workflow. I've received too many poorly done or frustratingly incomplete contour files, and so here's how I want to do this, moving forward.
 
First, we will discuss the area where you want to implement contours, and then I will send ''you'' one or more degree-square contour files as a sort of template, which you can  then "fill in" with your contour lines. Then I can be sure to get the contour files in a format that is actually useful for Thilo's conversion program, and that is divided up into the degree-square format that I want to use to standardize this process.
 
=Is the raw OGF topo data accessible online?=
 
Yes, it is! There is a special server called ogfsrtm. This is where the raw "OSM contour" files reside, and where the pseudo-SRTM degree squares are stored. This server is currently ''separate'' from the main OpenGeofiction server ecosystem, and maintained solely by Luciano, not by the full OGF admin team. Because of this, it has no strong guarantee of consistency or reliability - it is a "work in progress" and probably not in its final "production" architecture yet.
 
The publicly-accessible data on the server is organized according into four folders:
* [https://ogfsrtm.rent-a-planet.com/osm-squares/ osm-squares] - these are the "source contour files" as drawn by individual mappers; there is one file per "degree square"
* [https://ogfsrtm.rent-a-planet.com/contours/ contours] - these are processed "contour data files" prepped for load to the ogfcontours database on the render server (not user-friendly)
* [https://ogfsrtm.rent-a-planet.com/tiff-files/ tiff-files] - these are processed giant image files; "hillshade" and "map-elevation color" files, for load to the data folder on the render server (not user-friendly)
* [https://ogfsrtm.rent-a-planet.com/hgt-files/ hgt-files] - these are the processed "pseudo-SRTM" files in NASA format (not user-friendly)
 
Only the first category (osm-squares) are in a somewhat user-friendly format - these are the files you should download if you want to see what a "contour file" looks like in the JOSM editor, and, if you are in charge of maintenance of a contour zone, these are the files you should edit, alter, add detail to, and send back to me for re-upload.
 
If, on the other hand, you're interested in building your own topo render for the OGF world, you can use the latter three categories to make your job much, much easier, using off-the-shelf software stacks built to consume NASA-style SRTM data.
 
The first and last of the above elements are further split up into subfolders based on the "zone" names. Let's repeat the list topo zones from above, now with much more detail.

Revision as of 10:33, 7 March 2022

Be friendly: OpenGeofiction can be confusing at first

This is a page for experienced mappers to identify and contact new users editing in the wrong places. Instructions are as follows:

  1. Search: The new user list below is updated every 30 minutes, listing the newest user with map edits at the top. Click on a username (skipping any on the "Contacted users" list) and then click "Edits" to see where they're editing. Users with "B" next to their name have an active block, and "b" have been blocked in the past.
  2. Confirm & List: If they seem lost, look at the overview map to make sure they do not own the area, and check the "Contacted users" list below to confirm they haven't already been contacted. If they're not on the list, add them at the top. Use the format * {{OGF user|NEWUSERNAME}} ~~~~
  3. Contact: Send the user a friendly message (see suggested message) via OGF inbox. If they are violating other rules (e.g. well-known place names, real companies/organizations, unrealistic content/scale, etc), you can mention those things as well.
  4. Check back: If they don't reply to your message, look in on their mapping later. If they are still editing inappropriately, notify admin.
  5. The recent edits list on the Dashboard is also a useful resource, as is the daily activity map.
