Rahet

Rahet is the name of an imaginary planet I have been developing since elementary school. I have been hoping to create an HRATE of this planet since I first discovered OpenGeofiction in 2013.

I had an early draft of Rahet-as-HRATE posted on the server that later became Arhet. In fact the name "Arhet" is just a slight alteration of the name Rahet, as you can see.

Anyway, I have finally begun to make Rahet a reality.

The planet Rahet's apidb (railsport) is currently hosted on a 12-year-old extra laptop on the corner of my desk, but the render is hosted at my server rent-a-planet.com. I do all my editing using JOSM.

The server structure is similar to, but not identical to, that found at OpenGeofiction or Arhet.

Map Layers (Renders)

There is currently 1 layer (render style) for Rahet.

  • rahet-carto ("R") - this is derived from the current osm-carto style (as of early 2020), with modifications to handle the custom coastline shapefiles. The render is completely through manual invocation on my server, whenever I post a significant update to the map.
    • this layer's "TMS" address (for linking with JOSM) is:
      tms[19]:https://tiles02.rent-a-planet.com/rahet-carto/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

I may try to add a topo layer someday, but only if I start trying to lay out contours for the planet. I have a few drafts for certain areas, for example around the Illim Confederation (southwest continent).
