Another map is finished
Number: 1589
Name: Rostov West (3K)
Location: Russia
Period: WWII
Map size: 3150;3000
Comment: mod of map 1533

If anyone is interested to merge the new map 1589 with map 1533, you can easily do it. The XXL map would be 4770 pixel wide:

Re: MAPS: Post information about new maps here please
I swear, this was not planned So still two more maps by me this year. Then i am finished with my map plans.
This new map is for Dimitri's upcomming naval campaign:
Number: 1591
Name: Calais (3K)
Location: France
Period: WWII
Map size: 3150;3000
Comment: mod of map 50027
If mapfinder is broken, it is as it is. People still can download the map from the repository when playing. Once i am finished i try to upload to discord a map pack with all the 3K maps which i am using myself for map makers.

Re: MAPS: Post information about new maps here please
Haha no, this time i am serious
Two more maps this year: Hel Peninsula and Dnipro. That's it. I swear
Next year two more maps: Finish the 40% done map of the German Ruhrgebiet and the other one will be Vyazma for a nice muddy autumn scenario.
I want to concentrate on campaigns and playing the game.
Re: MAPS: Post information about new maps here please
You do a beautiful job on those maps.
Re: MAPS: Post information about new maps here please
You can also send it to me (if you want) --> I will place these maps (1589 and 1591) on the Kowdara server, I also place mapX files there
I'm wondering about MF --> it's really needed for creators, not players
Maps are downloaded automatically from other places
Map Viewer (MF) is needed for people who will do something --> new scenarios, campaigns, maps...
If there is a problem with load/transfer, maybe access should be restricted - only for logged in users
And one more question - what parameters must the server meet to transfer such a browser (MF) with all its components to it?
Re: MAPS: Post information about new maps here please
I plan to upload all the 3K maps (+ one smaller map of Gdansk that is needed for the Weltkrieg campaign) and their mapx files to discord in one 300mb file. I also created new mapx files of the old ones, where the map number was missing. So overall there will be 86 maps and 86 mapx files.
I will upload it once the last map is finished in 2 months or so. I hope i can upload such large files to dropbox. It is also a safety measure to store the files this way. In case of flooding or something like this.
You can download the file with all maps and mapx then
Thanks a lot!

Re: MAPS: Post information about new maps here please
Indeed. Without maps you can't make new scenarios (unless you make your own...). This is the biggest limitation of PG2/OG compared to older "Panzer General" iterations. (Yes, you can make tiled maps in OG too, but you lose the visual aspect. Else you can as well push NATO symbol counters across a line map, hardcore wargamer style...)
If you mean what does a server need to be able to do the same job as Gilestiel's, the answer is "not much": It mostly needs a big(-ish) disk and bandwidth (transfer) allowance, free or at least very cheap. Else paying for it will get quite expensive on the long run.
Ah yes, and it needs you to be still interested enough in OG in 10 years' time to want to keep paying for it.
Then you need a frontend (program) on that server, which allows people to easily find a map among the over thousand bearing cryptic names... Something which, when you upload a new map, automatically creates the description/download page, and the fitting thumbnails (small picture of the map). And is safe and bug-free enough so it won't be taken over by hackers in a couple months/weeks/days... (Which means somebody needs to make sure the server keeps getting patched and is kept up-to-date all over the years.)

Re: MAPS: Post information about new maps here please
I've uploaded to MapFinder the first 22 maps XXL -- from 50001 to 50022 both inclusive --
I've assigned "Name" and "country" according my understanding but I'd like if you (Randowe and Sympatyk) could review your maps an post here any change you want me to do.
The rest from 50023 to 50030 will be uploaded along the next week.

Re: MAPS: Post information about new maps here please
First of all, thank You and Gilestiel for including large XXL maps in Map Finder
Sorry that I indicated the database as a source for uploading maps to MF
It was actually easier to make an appropriate list ...
I only refer to my maps, those that in my opinion are incompatible
Generally, the map name is --> mapx without a number, starting with a capital letter
So the map name
50006 --> Kiev_1 (Polish letter w = it will be v - this is how it can be read)
50007 --> Kiev_2
50008 --> Kiev_3
Since we have established that we assign the current country --> so for all these maps --> Ukraine (not Russia)
50009 --> Leningrad --> Russia
50010 --> Lwow(Lviv) --> Ukraine
50013 --> Bornholm --> Denmark
50014 --> Bornholm_winter --> Denmark
These maps have been assigned to Aleksander (they are mine)
50020 --> this is not my map --> only Gotha229
My other maps (not yet placed in MF) - mapX compatible names (if possible)
I have another question
It seems that previously all Google Maps links were supposed to generate a 600x600px image - a custom map ( <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/...... width="600" height="600" style="border:0;" ...</iframe>
and currently a medium map --> width="600" height="450"
Are there any limitations to the size of this image?
Edit
Here are the corrected mapx files for maps 50023 and 50024

Re: MAPS: Post information about new maps here please
Thanks for checking !
50006,50007,50008,50009,50010,50013,50014,50020 are fixed
and maps:
50023.. 50030 are included according that convention
I'll do when I get a bit more free time, eventually
Ah, and maps
50023 and 50024 are uploaded according your links, so I think all the 50k (XXL) big maps are ready at MapFinder now
Indeed that would have been much better

Map 50013, 50014 unfortunately - are still incorrect ..
It should be
50013 --> Bornholm --> Denmark (not Bornholm_winter)
50014 --> Bornholm_winter --> Denmark --> sympatyk (not Ystad - Bornholm, Albania, Alexander)
Sorry for the trouble
