Hello,
I'm observing the ME-DEM project since more than three years. As a tolkien fan (and playing pen and paper rolepaying games with middle earth settings) I'm really fascinated by the maps of the ME-DEM project. In my opinion ME-DEM is true reference standard for middle earth maps. I watched all the Outerrea demo videos, but as a Linux guy, I'm not able to use Outerra
(I know a Linux version is announced since years, but I lost the confidence that this will ever happen).
I registered in this forum because this seems to be the official forum for the ME-DEM Project and the forum thread at cartographers guild seems to be dead.
For a "non-Outerra-compatible-user" the "best" result of the ME-DEM project is the monks' posting of 03-31-2012, 10:33 AM, sharing the topographic map generated in Global Mapper, split into 4 tiles at 5000 pixels. I really would like to use this map as a reference for my P+P RGP campaign, but as a campaign map it has not enough details. Monks wrote that the 5k tiles represent only one quarter of the map's original resolution. Therefore I hope that some "veterans" in this forum can give me a hint, how to obtain the full resolution of the ME-DEM topographic map.
Cheers
