| | ===How can I use JOSM for editing the OpenGeofiction map?=== |
|
| |
|
| We are glad you have joined us in this free, open, collaborative mapping project. By signing up, you now have access to edit on the map. Before you begin, however, please take a few moments to review this quick guide of a few important things to know:
| | If you want to use the JOSM editor, configure the "Connection settings" (via the "Edit -> Preferences" menu), so that the OSM server URL points to our server |
| | https://opengeofiction.net/api |

| ! style="background:#c6e6ff; color:#000000; text-align:center; height: 35px;" | Where can I edit?
| |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| Now that you have signed up, you can begin editing freely in one of the '''<span style="color:#4488ff">█ blue territories</span>''' on our [[OGF:Territories#Overview Map|overview map]]. These blue-colored territories are free for all users to edit and governed by [[OGF:Blue territory etiquette|guidelines of etiquette]]. Be sure to leave [[Help:Good edit comments|good edit comments]] that are descriptions of your upload.
| |
|
| |
|
| All users are required to begin mapping in blue territories. Once you have some sample mapping to show off, you can ask to join [[OGF:List of collaborative projects|a collaborative project]].
| | To display the OpenGeofiction map as background in JOSM, add our server to the "selected entries" in the "Imagery preferences", using the "+TMS" button, as shown in this screenshot: <br> [[File:Luciano_Screenshot_JOSM_02.png|thumb|left]] <br clear=all> "OpenGeofiction" should then appear in the "Imagery" menu. |

| |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| One of the most convenient ways to begin editing is to use the iD in-browser editor. You can find this by clicking the "edit" link on the top of the map page. Mapping with iD requires that you are at zoom level 16 or higher.
| |
|
| |
|
| Another way of editing is to [https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Download download and install the free java-based tool JOSM]. This tool is favored by many mappers on this site, because of the increased functionality and numerous add-ons available. For help with setting up JOSM, click [[Help:Configuring JOSM for OpenGeofiction|click here]].

| |
| ! style="background:#eeddee; color:#000000; text-align:center; height: 35px;" | Common terms and phrases
| |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| Some terms that you will encounter while editing are ''node'', ''way'', ''area'', and ''tag''. A ''node'' is a simple point on a map. ''Ways'' connect nodes like lines. When a ''way'' is makes a closed loop (like a circle or polygon), it is called an ''area''. A ''tag'' is kind of like a labeling system for all the things mentioned. Tagging a node as <code>place=town</code> will make sure the mapping renderer recognizes that point as a town. Adding the name tag gives the town its name.
