The VT-BAM project

[VT45]

For some reason I can't log into the AH.com Wiki. But I think we're advanced enough at this point to have a page and a directory there. Could someone create such a thing? I'd do it myself but I can't edit anything there because of my login problems.

For the wiki, one now needs a separate password or something like that. @Ian the Admin or @CalBear or @Burton K Wheeler or @Dom can probably help.

@Petike does most of the wiki-work nowadays, I think I honestly don't know how to log into it myself.

Petike is not on any way shape or form an official representative of the site. Ian is the only person who can give out wiki access.

It would be awfully nice if we had something like VaultWiki here

Oh yeah Petike isn't official he just likes to hang around in the dark corners of the Wiki so I figured he might want to do something.

@VT45, is someone doing municipalities for New England/Maritimes? I started on them personally for Our Fair Country and while many are different, a lot are the same and might be of use for the accurate, historical version.

As Burton said, I'm just the most active editor (and have been for a number of years, sadly - it's lonely there, with few other regular contributors).

I've sent VT45 a PM about the login issue. Looking at the wiki's index page, maybe I need to highlight the info on the new login system a bit more ? I've tried to make that bit of info as prominent as possible after the software switch two years ago, but it still might get a bit lost in those opening paragraphs.

 

[VT45]

Thanks! I’ll take a look.

And @Kanan I have the overlays for the municipalities for all of North America and I can add them in for sure. I’m just working on the second level divisions right now and then I can go back and add those in. I can send you the overlays though if you want in the meantime.

Sure!! I only had done my fictional Long Island as well as CT and RI so sending those would save so much time with converting my stuff to VT-BAM!

I’m on my phone right now but when I get to my PC I’ll send it over. They’re broken up by tile, that is by regions that are 30 degrees by 30 degrees (the Koppen maps I posted the other day are one tile) so I’ll send you tile 14 and tile 15, since part of Nova Scotia is in tile 15.

VaultWiki needs to wrap its tentacles around an entire board. It's MUCH safer and easier to use separate wiki software.

Anyone know what the dimensions of the pixels are in the NYC area? In the equator it's apparently 925x925 meters. If I've gotten my math right apparently the local golf course is one pixel?

 

[VT45]

Well the whole of NYC is 68 by 53 pixels, and in lower Manhattan a single pixel is 925x704 meters.

Holy shit I think that one pixel is the size of my local golf course.

 

[Blind]

Wait, all over the map, pixel is the same size?

Nope. Equirectangular map.

 

[AcipenserSturio]

It's the same longitude times latitude, but different area depending on the latitude.

 

[VT45]

I’ve messaged Ian for access to the wiki and I’m gonna make a directory for the VT-BAM. While I’m waiting, can I ask you all to consolidate your different claims into continental and regional maps that we can post to the wiki?

I wonder if someone will do this kind of map. So, we can know how big each pixel is.

Hey I can do it for you! What do you need?
