XXL Maps use - Whats the standard procedure?

[none]

IIRC XXL (5k) maps are not stored in the MapFinder, too big. Or are they now?
I know some of the XXL maps (not all) are on download on open-general.com, but I don't remember how it is supposed to work when they're used in a scenario: Do people need to download the XXL maps manually beforehand, or does OG handle that automatically, like for the conventional maps?


Also, I have an XXL map I made myself (Kursk, #50030): Who should I sent it to, and what exactly? Only the JPG (4.4MB)? JPG and PNG (29.2MB)?

XXL maps - not in MF
XXL maps - are downloaded automatically
XXL maps - send to Luis - jpg + mapx file
If you send it to me, I will place it on a Polish server --> also for automatic downloading (as a second server)

Also include/write information in the topic
MAPS: Post information about new maps here please

Thanks. I'll post a download link for the JPG/.mapx for Luis and you (in the weekend, today: family visit!...).

I have placed the drawing for automatic download - you can check if it is ok..
Out of curiosity, I will ask - the mapx file does not contain names?
Column "0" - where the drawing suggests hills - is mostly clear. The forest, however, is marked. So it has to be?
What program did you use to make the drawing?

Doesn't it?
It should, all town hexes and the river have names.
Or at least had names. It seems indeed that for some reason my latest edit erased all names (Open Suite bug?). I'll put them back and re-upload the files. Discard the current one.

What do you mean? If you mean the hex terrain definitions ("clear", "forest", and so on), every hex is defined, and the hill-looking hexes should all be "hill". I just opened Open Suite and made a new scenario using the files, and while indeed losing the names, the map has still all the right terrain definitions. They don't show for you?

I made the .mapx with Open Suite (5.0.73.8) BTW. Seems this version is a little quirky...

[none]

Open Suite bug: When inside the MAPX Editor tab you do a "Save as MAPX" export, it doesn't bother saving names!...

The previous version can't do it either.
How can I export a .mapx with names? There must be a way?

In the meantime, here are the missing names (contents of MAP_50030.txt):

I see.
Well, given I set the terrain hex by hex in Open Suite, I guess Open Suite didn't allow me to select those hexes. (I assume, since I can't check right now.)
Or I just missed them...

Thanks!
I re-uploaded a new version of the JPG/Mapx ZIP.

What program do you use to make that .mapx? It's not an ASCII file, there is some binary stuff going on in there.

Or I just missed them...

Finally that's the explanation... I simply missed them... Mea culpa.

Unfortunately I can't fix the .mapx without losing the names, so it will remain like that, with some missing hill (it doesn't change anything anyway, there is little chance a player might step on one of those hexes).
