WIP - Libya BETA for BMS
-
This is the outputed Theater file when i first tried to change it to 128Seg:
Theater name: My Selection
Theater size: Regular
Size (L2 segments): 128 x 128
Size (L2 tiles): 2048 x 2048
Size (Nautical Miles): 1104.75 x 1104.75
Resolution: 0.134858 Nautical Miles
Centered on: Lat 34.5 Long 16
NW: Lat 43.7063 Long 3.26464
NE: Lat 43.7063 Long 28.7354
SW: Lat 25.2937 Long 5.81752
SE: Lat 25.2937 Long 26.1825
Highest point: 10354ft
Lowest point: 0ftI just checked out these coordinates and these are definitely not the coordinates of what RAM and I have. The older coordinates that RAM posted a bit back are the ones that fit, and I’m sure of it now that I’m aware of the spherical projection used during the creation!
Lukas, can you tell us please which programs you’ve used?
Cheers,
LSBumping this so it doesn’t get skipped!

Then i have no idea where that map came from?!?!?!
L2 and the rest of the Terrain File’s should be dated 10/15/2011 if they came from my rebuild.tired demer
P.S. Are the City\Airport Objectives sitting on the correct tile’s ???
-
-
City and airports for the most part are sitting on the correct tiles, atleast the bulk of them that I’ve come across so far there’s still the odd ball here and there as common with any theater.
There’s a snapshot of the terrain folder; the dates match my oldest backup as well dated 12/18/2011.
EDIT: not sure what RAM has exactly since he continued working through the summer on this when I took a break. Believe he focused mostly on objectives and the db though.

PMC ???
Cheers,
LSSeems so, you LazyArse……LOL!!!

Dates don’t match. i don’t know what the RAMster did after i handed it off to him.But i gave him free reign to use the work as it was. That is how it should be in this community.
My main concern, at the time, was to erase any remnants of PMC Libya from the theater. That is why i rebuilt the map from scratch.
If we remember, i was under duress from SM at the time over this theater. Banned from PMC,insulted publicly\privately,threatened with a lawsuit…LOL!..etc.
All that,at this point, is water under the bridge. Move forward with your work and don’t worry about exact LAT\LON on a map that ANYONE can build using Dem2Terr!!!
Fix it and go on.tired demer

Cheers,
LSI had a chance to test full ArcGis software package when did my PhD studies at the university…lately moved from Prague to wild country…so I converted to some free programs.
First usefull free program was 3DEM software. Precised highmap export/handeling was not posible via native F4 utils at the time (lxnormal fix export did not work), so I projected my high data and used 16bit grayscale image as a reference for detailed CATE bmp map (it was hard to aim snow/rocky etc. areas around peaks without it). The projection was exactly the same.
Then tested many other programs …some of them were JAVA aplications…Flexprojector(or something) and another two proj. JAVA software…I have it probably installed/copied in my old laptop/s…I have third notebook since that time - 1st lighting strikeR.I.P., second - too tired=overheated…I lately repaired this one a bit…I also tried web based utils…unfortunally I have bad memory for names
LukP.S. worked with Microdem + another 5-6 quite fast (noJAVA) programs/utils as well (there are some standalone exe utils for conversion over the web)
the only issue is, it all eats your time… so try 3DEM and FlexProjector(?) first - i have good flashback on these two:) -
one of the many nice webs:
http://www.progonos.com/furuti/MapProj/Normal/TOC/cartTOC.html
there is a link to MicroCAM v2.03 software (resources and link in the bottom of the page)
it is made by former soldier…sounds good…i will test this one (i am freeware lover) -
the only issue is, it all eats your time….
Oh yes I know.
Thanks for your explanation.

BTW. did you know that if you’ll come closer to my LazyArse, you can hear LazysTone?

Walking around in Lazy town and a Christmas la la la…
Nice tune…I didn’t knew we oldfarters should tune in… :rofl:

What’s up with Libya?!
any news?
-
-
BTW could mods please change the name of entire forum section 'cause it’s misspelled.
It’s LIBYA not Lybia…
-
Some of the devs developing this theater are not here and as a far as I know this project is dead in the water, unless Demer is secretly still working!!
-
They probably could never figure out where Lybia was in the world map !
-
^^^
LOL!
Hey. and it’s not Vyper but Viper -
BTW could mods please change the name of entire forum section 'cause it’s misspelled.
It’s LIBYA not Lybia…Thank you. The spelling of this forum has been bothering me for quite some time! :woohoo:

Dunno what happened after I handed it off. But, as you state, some of the new devs ended up with bad karma I guess???
I will state that we and fido are sniffing for a “Sandbox” in our theater vault to develop after Guam POC is done……;)
Could be Libya, could be Nevada.It may be a little South in Africa where the Jag’s roamed…Hehe.
We are not sure ATM, but whatever it is, it will come after Guam POC is done.Demer

Sherlock and Demer both coming out of retirement in the same thread?
Only good can come from this.
