[OSM-dev] Custom tileset
Hi, I thought it may be useful to pitch my idea here, but I plan to develop two custom sets of tile sets that use the standard OSM layer, but with “British” and “Greek” colours respectively. Depending on how much technical expertise I require for this, I plan to develop these tile sets in response to demand from the UK community in response the the change of colours recently. The British tile set will have the old colours before the changeover to the red-yellow scheme, and it initially cover Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland only. The Greek tile set will have green for motorways, two shades of blue for national roads, red for provincial roads and yellow for other connecting roads to villages, and it will initially cover Greece. This stylesheet reflects the road signs on motorways and national roads, with the rest being based on the old stylesheet. Other than the change of colour, I plan to make the custom tile set stylesheet a dependency of the main stylesheet, to minimise the need to update them often. I desire that the tiles update about five minutes after an edit, like the main map, so it does not turn out to be a half-baked alternative. So, how can I pull off this feat?

Re: [OSM-dev] Playback of Camera Movement in OSM2World Question
Hi Wilson, Thank you for your interest in OSM and GSoC. The project idea you're talking about is actually meant in a different way. What we'd like to achive is a way to generate virtual camera flights. I.e. you use the OSM2World GUI to define waypoints and direction vectors to look at, i.e. the definition of the camera movement. The student's code would try to interpolate those positions to generate a smooth trajectory in 3D space and afterwards render the images along this trajectory. Rendering might either happen directly with OSM2World to output PNG images or via Povray. And in the end, ffmpeg/libav will take these images and make a video out of the single images. Of course there's more to it: The trajectory might be inputed via a GPX file or by defining your own format. Also the interpolation of the camera movement might be as simple as a polygon or something more sophisticated as bspline approximation or whatever else. But in the end the details are up to the student. We have a rough idea, we also have an idea how we would implement it. But we want to hear and see your ideas as long as it matches our overall goal :) Hope that helps, Peda ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
