Freeciv-web now supports importing maps from OSM, and can be played here: Freeciv-Earth
Please give it a try and report what you think!

Freeciv-web with Open Streep Map import (Freeciv-Earth)
Re: Freeciv-web with Open Streep Map import (Freeciv-Earth)
That's very cool.
I had to click through about 8 "unresponsive script" warnings in Firefox in my test case (the whole of Iceland).
BTW Glacier terrain seems to be being rendered as Tundra on the main map? (Don't know if that's peculiar to the Earth mode.)

I think this can be improved. The conversion from OSM to Freeciv savegame is done using Javascript in the browser. Perhaps it can be made faster.
I didn't get any such warnings, though.

Freeciv-web doesn't support rendering glacier, so tundra is the fallback. I hope we can fix this sometime. However, no end-user ever requested it.
The conversion is quite basic at the moment, if you or anyone wants to help improve it, that would be very welcome: earth.js

I'll have to admit this is a very convenient new feature.
Although I primarily had to get a forum account just to point out a problem I have with terrain generation.
e.g. I ran this while zoomed in on South Georgia (and the South Sandwich Islands) and some of the places which were supposed to have tundra or glacier end up having desert instead. (and vice versa as well.)
Would be nice if the colour configuration was tweaked a bit.

I have done some improvements to the way desert and tundra tiles are determined. Now latitude is also a factor used to decide between tundra and desert.SPF50Gault420 wrote:I'll have to admit this is a very convenient new feature.

Gotta love my late response, I guess.
Re: Freeciv-web with Open Streep Map import (Freeciv-Earth)
Does anyone have any ideas about how to improve this further?
https://play.freeciv.org/freeciv-earth/
For example, custom map size? Other things to improve?

Just tested it briefly. Is it possible to disable xwrape/ywrape and have a rectangular map instead?
Re: Freeciv-web with Open Streep Map import (Freeciv-Earth)
This is been fixed now. When loading a map from Mapbox, then the default topology is set to flat, without wrapping. And the 2D version supports rendering the map without wrapping now.XYZ wrote:Just tested it briefly. Is it possible to disable xwrape/ywrape and have a rectangular map instead?
