I’m looking for funding to be able to implement the latest versions of APP6 and 2525 in milsymbol. There are a lot of big projects using milsymbol, so hopefully someone might step up. github.com/spatialillusio…

@orbatmapper @EugenPinak @battle_order If anyone wants to have icons more in the style of @battle_order in milsymbol, try setting the un-documented style.styleFill option to true.

@EugenPinak @battle_order Thank you for sharing. I mostly use milsymbol from @spatialillusion in my work, but I'd love to support other symbology variants.

I’d like to share the symbols I use to make company-level TO&E drawings and OOBs. Hope they’ll be useful to other ORBAT makers. The link is: rikukaigun.org/UNIT%20and%20I… Thank @battle_order for creating original symbols. Repost is welcome! #ORBATBoys

Wonder if they mention my library that lets you read @esri VTPK and TPKX files in @maplibre github.com/spatialillusio…

Computer is doing long test runs on my warp-tiler software, where each run takes about 24h, so I have to be out and about and do real world stuff instead. Maybe it’s a good thing I don’t have another computer.

Having too many software projects, my brain goes, maybe we should do some hardware stuff as well.

@subniten Objektigenkänning med typ YOLO kopplat till servon för typ tilt pan med något som kan skrämma rådjur. 😆 Hade gjort att man lärt sig nyttiga saker inom många områden. Men ska nog se om jag kan göra klart några andra projekt som står högre på listan innan jag köper ny hårdvara.

@spatialillusion Vad har du i åtanke?

@cbed32 Probably because it covers all the way up to the poles, might be other reasons as well. I was mostly confused that the data ended up almost in the right place, but not exactly in the right place.

@spatialillusion Interesting. Why do they use it?

Today’s discovery, Yandex is using EPSG:3395 for its tiling scheme. Lucky me that I have a raster reprojection pipeline built and just have to do some minor changes.

The up side about having limited compute resources is that I have to leave my computer and go out on other adventures. The down side is that I could have more velocity in a bunch of different projects.

Working on things, wish I had money for a new computer, because I need more power.

Funding can be invoiced, contact me on email for more information and discussions.

@ThomasHalwax I have used some data like that to test the functionality.

@spatialillusion I know a small country in the Alps that has bought big software. But it was so expensive that they do not have licenses for everyone. Having is like wanting but better.

Something is better than nothing. Discussions with potential customers about Battle Staff Tools often end up in: “But you can do X, Y, and Z that “big software “can do?” “No, and I don’t intend to, but you don’t have “big software”. Use BST until you do.”

@igelblork That is sort of the solution I’m thinking about as well. BST already has the possibility to disable functionality in the license file. So in this case I have actually not said “no”, I have said that I can solve it in exchange for a bunch of money. 😄

@spatialillusion i don't have any great ideas myself, but i believe in being able to set which functionality should be visible/accessible at all, customizing the main user interface to show what you need and hiding the rest. smarter people might have better ideas.

@igelblork For example, BST can import @SystematicC4ISR ORBATs, and the user wants to be able to export as well, technically I have code for that. But, since they only can contain letter based SIDC, and how do you force the user to only use letter SIDC before they export.

@igelblork It is never because of technical reasons I say no, it’s for UX reasons. So many users say they love my tool because it’s easy to use, then a customer wants to add 100 buttons or other things that would make the UI much less intuitive.

Now with a proper release with built versions for windows/linux/macos. Let me know if you run into any issues.

The main problem it solves is that VTPK can have variable tile depth, so I split up existing tiles into missing children to create a complete tile pyramid.

Just published a new tool on GitHub github.com/spatialillusio… It will take an @Esri VTPK in web mercator projection and convert it into mbtiles with all resources to publish it in tileserver-gl (even a config.json)
