XP Scenery Generator [WIP]

[blacky75]

I suggest that I render Great Britain... should work if I do it as I did for Germany, splitting up in different regions as split up under geofabrik.de... what do you thinkN

Yes, you can render individual counties, which maybe will work for now. Poland doesn't have any counties on Geofabrik, so that isn't an option for now.

 

only a thought , but  for the meantime this could be a  possible workaround
You could split one tile in two ore more different [overlay-dsf] packages.
e.g.  north/south , buildings/ trees ,  'must have' /'nice to have'

 

Using counties, we can get parts of these countries to work. But, I can't split the DSF tile up. I've tried disabling forests/trees and facades, and even with only 30,000 buildings across the entire tile, it won't generate. It isn't a question of the number of objects on the tile, but more so how DSFTool allocates them (I believe)

[blacky75]

ok, whole UK should be up by tomorrow... starting once finished the 4 other countries ;-)

 

I'll make a new post on your blog once done.

 

 

PS: I'd like to thank SIMHEAVEN again for hosting all those files! Thks ;-)

I'm trying Great Britain right now, it seems is the most greater time-consuming generation until now, 5 tiles after 10 minutes.

 

right now i'm rendering and upping to ftp following:
 
Bosnia, Finland, Hungary, Russia.

 

Ok no the same work twice! :-)

After trying with Great Britain I'll then proceed with Norway, Sweden and Netherlands.

Cheers AngeloM. Hopefully you can generate Great Britain fine :-)

Do you feed more then one tile at once to DSFTool ?

I'll  take a look in the xptools-code to determine what happens.

Is it possible to attach the zipped  raw txt-dsf which crashes DSFTool as a test case ?

( my PC is unable to run your app ;  much to low RAM )

 

BTW:

Is it easily possible to determine a string of objects with the same footprint?
Maybe, this is already defined in OSM .
This could make it possible to use .str-Placements .
This could be a win for regions with a lot of small row-houses (eg. UK).

yes, here you go. I've already sent this to Ben https://www.dropbox.com/s/ivbykqreqgxd6dp/%2B53%2B014.dsf.txt.7z. I don't feed more than one file at a time, so not sure.

 

I've also checked out the source code for DSFTool, but haven't got it to compile yet. It needs codewarrior according to the docs. Marginal also did a python version of DSFLib

 

( my PC is unable to run your app ;  much to low RAM )

 

I'm working on it, and in the 0.1.2 beta, it generated PACA with under 4GB, so it's getting much better. So hopefully it will work for you soon.

Yes, since the bulidings share a wall in OSM. It won't help in Poland though, as it was a village of detached houses outside of Warszawa that crashed it

leave it, it won't work..... I'm now at 60% of the UK done, but LONDON causes the app to crash....

Well, it was a try, just to check if using more ram the problem could be resolved.

Let's go with the others!

Nice shot from Pilotbalu of the quality of the scenery in Germany (I'm sure he won't mind me sharing it):

Doh, that will be Birmingham. There are lots of buildings there. Will give it a try now on my beta version and see if I can hack around it

And that is the real Ulm with cathedral:

That's the meaning of beta test!

Good news it that -2 52 does generate in 0.1.2 (unreleased), and so does London. I've done a hack where I split up residential zones and only apply trees to the ones with houses in, and very low density forests to ones without houses. It reduces the object count by about 40%. But Poland still crashes, and is related to houses and not trees

[AngeloM]

Good to know that, thank you!!!

Netherlands done (40 minutes), Norway in progress.

[blacky75]

AngeloM: uploading whole parts of UK right NOW. Once tony got the 2 failing 2 work, I'll finish them up so UK is complete!

[AngeloM]

Ok Blacky!!!

[tonywob]

Netherlands looks fantastic, I think people will like it. It's extremely detailed, and well worth a try

[blacky75]

now, it's soon time for making a little video as we talked before ^^ :-)

[tonywob]

OK, DSFTool is now working (it seems). I've increased the number of pools it allocates, and it's compiled Poland, Birmingham and London successfully

Norway generated too (15 minutes), now it's Sweden time!

Tony, I'll upload Netherlands in few minutes and then I'll give you the link.

[Souf]

You rock!!!

sweden already up @ http://simheaven.com/experimental/Europe/

[AngeloM]

Haven't seen that when I went there to check the countries, thank you!

[blacky75]

Tomorrow germany and france... once the new beta from tony is done. Germany is already up there, but there will be a one shot file instead of regions.
