3.15 adds further beta compatibility updates... but soft, what light through yonder window breaks? Oh my, it's only some new functionality as well!

With thanks to Iain for giving me the nudge I needed to finally take this off the to do list, 3.15 now provides the option to add place name tags to the map view.  This is controlled from the new "Gazetteer Tags" section of the UI, and works in a similar maner to the OS Open Roads display functionality - there's a master on/off toggle controlling the overall functionality (and which, just like the Open Roads toggle, is always set to off whenever the WME session loads, to avoid having potentially hundreds of tags suddenly being rendered...), and then a list of further toggles to show/hide the tags relating to specific types of place, listed in descending order of priority.

Place names are tagged on the map using a colour-coded arrow tag which points to the location defined in the OS data for that name.  Cities have a yellow tag, towns have a purple tag, villages have a pinky-salmony tag, hamlets are light blue, and "other" places are light grey.

Fun fact - in this OS place classification scheme, there are no towns within Greater London...

And no, I haven't forgotten to edit the thread title to show that the script has been updated, I can't edit it thanks to the amazing new forum upgrade HQ seem to think is the best thing since the best thing since a loaf of bread met a knife  :roll:

I guess so - now that I think all the script updates required by the latest WME release are done, I'll have a look into this the next time I have the energy to do some more scriptbashing.

A sad day for WMEOD - the OS have finally decommisioned the last remaining part of ther original OpenSpace mapping service which WMEOD had been using to provide the georeferenced OS map via the "OS OpenData" link at the bottom of the WMEOD UI, so clicking on that link now just provides you with the opportunity to discover how your browser handles being asked to load a non-existent page from a non-existent domain...

I've started to poke around behind the scenes of the replacement service the OS now provide, to see if it'll be possible to tap into it in the same way, but it's far too early to give any indication as to a) whether this will be possible at all or b) how long it might then take to complete.  This is a pretty high priority for me though, as I used that link extensively during my own editing sessions, so I have a very keen interest in getting it working again if possible.

Still, look on the bright side, at least it wasn't the WME devs breaking shit again this time  :lol:

Quick PSA: my server used to host the OS data files for WMEOD is currently undergoing maintenance and is unavailable, and may suffer random dropouts once it comes back until everything is up and running again correctly.

Yes, there's been a sneaky alteration to the code behind the scenes of the segment editing side panel in the latest WME update which has knocked this functionality out.  I think I've now found what the problem is, so expect an update soon.

Still seems to be working OK here in both production and beta.

It's been previously stated by the OS that there aren't any deliberate errors, such as have been used in commercial mapping data as a way to detect copying (trap streets), in the OpenData products, and any errors like this are therefore simply a by product of the sheer amount of data they have to deal with, which will get corrected over time.

WMEOD is highlighting this as an incorrectly named street in WME because the raw name data WMEOD uses has this incorrect spelling.  Presumably it was this same version of the raw data that the OS themselves used when generating those wider zoom level tiles for their maps, whereas the more zoomed in levels have presumably been generated from a newer version of the raw data where this error has already been corrected.  Hopefully this means the next release of the raw data files I use with WMEOD (due out next month) will also therefore include this correction...
