The Q-BAM Improvement and Core Thread

i don't think that's montenegro
other than that, great work with the updates

It's Macedonia.

Yeah, sorry guys I don't know why but I wrote Montenegro instead of North Macedonia

hey, it happens to me as well. i just thought it was a little funny :v

I'm still not used to it being North Macedonia.

I'm still not used to it being North Macedonia.

Ditto even though it never really had had any impact on my life at all so this is kind of me being stoned and feeling like typing lmao

Is there a Qbam floating around that has the accepted boundaries of the oceans on it? Not EEZs, but like where the Atlantic stops and the Pacific starts.

 

[Altaic]

I will try, but don't expect much
Only oceans or oceans + seas too?

Oceans.

If you have one with seas as well I'd love to get a look at it :³

Sorry yall, I couldn't do it because the official boundaries established by the International Hydrographic Organization are rhumb lines, meaning that they are only straight lines in the Mercator projection, and since I don't know a way to convert a Mercator map to another projection, this whole idea kinda failed

 

[Spinovenator]

Does anyone have a patch of the Panama and Suez Canal?

 

[LNSS]

Unpopular Opinion: Does QBAM really need all those lakes and rivers represented? They mostly just get in the way.

 

[KremmyDaKidd]

Have no idea where I should ask this, so apologies ahead of time if this is the wrong forum. But I want to convert or create a vector, QBAM style map, from an already existing map I found on wikipedia. (If need be I can show map).

Simply put, I want to create a vector pixel map based off of one that's png off wikipedia, and have no idea how to do so other than tracing pixel by pixel which seems less than ideal.

 

[Cube from Blender]

can someone send the latest qbam map?

 

[Kingdom]

Approximately how large is each pixel?

 

[Altaic]

Approximately how large is each pixel?

I mean... would an answer be really useful if it is only correct at the Equator (well you can of course calculate the correct pixel values for every latitude if you really want), and even then only theoretically correct, as QBAM doesn't seem to follow a default projection and its landmasses are often slightly shifted as pointed out by Ashtagon and many others years ago?
Sorry for the rant, but yeah the status is like that. You could tell what you want to achieve though, and I will be here to help
