It is named "Aeroport Yermolino" though, and is surrounded by "Clear" hexes, so it's clearly just a bad click while setting the hex type.
The same problem appears in all 4 mapx files (1495/1496/50023/50024).

Sure, it can be repaired quite easily, but you have to detect it first! The issue here is that it looks like an airport, it talks like an airport, but unless at some point you start wondering why your planes drop out of the sky lacking fuel, you'll never detect is isn't actually an airport, but just a strange-looking grove! It's a dangerous bug, given airports have special and unique functions.
The best way to detect this type of issues is switching to tiled maps, as it shows really what terrain is each hexnone wrote: ↑2023-08-17 07:00, Thursday Sure, it can be repaired quite easily, but you have to detect it first!

I replaced these files into MapFinder, but the file 50023_moscow_big.mapx (178.448 bytes) is truncated to 163.840 bytes when uploadingsympatyk wrote: ↑2023-08-17 11:30, Thursday Corrected/Changed mapx files for download

@Luis - can I request a file swap?
Yes, but some are missing. One of mine and several maps by sympatyk. I don't know if you have them already @none?none wrote: ↑2023-08-17 17:10, Thursday IIRC there was a limitation at Gilestiel's, which is why the XXL maps (500xx numbers) are hosted here, on this site. Could be wrong though.
That's only natural, no? The less clear hex a mapx file has, the bigger the file size. So if you change 2 hex from clear to something else, the file size will be bigger. You can test it by changing more clear hex to other terrain and the file size will increase even further.sympatyk wrote: ↑2023-08-17 18:07, Thursday![]()
Yes, it's weird.. but it is
For both maps - 50023 and 50024 the same thing is observed --> after changing terrain only on these two hexes (airport) - file size increases
I recorded how I do it

I don't want to upload/swap - maybe the zip is to blame
I am sending 50023_moscow_big.mapx myself
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15DCh29 ... sp=sharing
That's not the problem, the problem is that this mapx file cannot be uploaded regardless how I try; connection is always broken and upload fails
This one neither loads into Mapfinder, sorryI don't want to upload/swap - maybe the zip is to blame

XXL maps have never been in MF...This one neither loads into Mapfinder, sorry
Hello guysGilestiel wrote: ↑2024-08-05 11:20, Monday Yes i have made script to help Luis to update easly mapfinder, i will review with him because he have some problem to upload sometimes.
Just if i understand , the solution is to use > 50000 number for this kind of map , real map is only available for og.exe for download because on http://www.open-general.com/mapxs.php?o ... a=&omu=xxl the Map Number preview map is not too big?
That i can do to avoid big change , i can check map number , if > 50000 we can download mapx ( as usual ) and create a link on real map file if exist , but not find it.
I'll manage to udate already existing map when i have confirmation and made code change in mapfinder.
No, XXL maps have always been published (hosted) only as jpgThe maps at open-general are in JPG compressed anyway having sizes around that, so probably only in the opengeneral.pl server they are hosted as png, isn't it?
Sorry for being missing but I'm on holidays with difficult internet access.
Hi all
What I mean is that for 50k maps I only keep the .mapx and the .jpg , and thus I can load each image to figure map name, type and size, but for most of then I lack the author and google-map location which required to generate the iframe code from that location.LuisGuzman wrote: ↑2024-10-05 13:54, Saturday I have to collect all the info required to create the records at MapFinder, and then I'll upload a couple of maps first to check if everything goes well.
Them I'll upload the rest.
Great ! - thankssympatyk wrote: ↑2024-10-05 15:20, Saturday Hi Luis![]()
Everything is in one place
https://www.open-general.com/mapxs.php? ... a=&omu=xxl
- all XXL maps (50k) were added to the database by Darek,
- all information about large maps (XXL) - were completed ...
In the first column you have - mapX, in the second - Google location, in the fifth - map image, in the seventh - author
In the third column there is information - about the country, region
Just pick the one country that you think fits the best. It will be okay and people will find the mapsLuisGuzman wrote: ↑2024-10-05 18:54, Saturday Deciding which country to assign is sometimes not easy when map covers more than one country, as I try to avoid creating multi-mix-countries for maps like 50003.![]()

It is surly my fault ... I'll check later today!sympatyk wrote: ↑2024-11-21 22:34, Thursday![]()
Has something happened to MF?
In the download section there is no option to download - .map file for many maps from different creators
However, there is an e-mail address for contact - mapfinder@gilestiel.eu
Map 717 had bologna.map set in MF db, but no such .map file, although there was a bologna2.map hosted, so I've edited the entry in MF db to point to bologna2.map.
Yes I remember that .shp/.s16 files were available at MF long time ago (2012-20013), but don't remember when they were removed.sympatyk wrote: ↑2024-11-22 14:21, Friday![]()
I have another question related to the content for downloading from MF
It concerns maps made for PG2/PEG and sent to MF (below 900+ numbers)
As I remember - for such maps (PG2/PEG) - you could download graphics in .png, .jpg, .shp and .S16 formats as well as a .map file and a .txt file
Is it still possible to get shp and S16 files and .map files for such maps?
At the moment - how should the possibility of downloading for such maps (PG2/PEG) look like --> all the files listed above (.png, .jpg, .shp and .S16 as well as a .map file and a .txt file)? --> only png, jpg, .map, and mapx files (if created)?
Why am I asking?
People who play PG2 or PG2 mods have problems with maps
I found out about the problem with MF from http://www.rayy.de/raiders/index.html
Currently for some maps (old ones) only jpg files are available, for others png and jpg
MF is a site that the entire PG/PG2/PEG/OG community knows - that is why I refer to it when something does not work
I've upload to my website the 3 MEL_#xxx.rar packages, so anyone can download now easily.Also a topic about sound for PG2 on the forum open-general.com

I think Rayy ist out of the game since 10 years. I doubt that he has any SHPs, because the game didnt ran evenmore on his computer. I will see If I have still all SHPs for my campaigns, because it was asked for the SHPs for my WK2 campaign. I think that was the only campaign in the last 10 years, a lot of player played (maybe because of my YouTube playthrough). Nontheless Iis a pity that the SHPs were removed, maybe for more space for newer Maps.LuisGuzman wrote: ↑2024-11-22 21:02, Friday

Currently there are not any .shp or .s16 files.
I have a few old ones, being the older 873 and the latest 989 (all 2012-2013) although I have only 23 in hat range.
These are surely the ones I uploaded to MF when I started helping Gilestiel with the maps.
But Rayy should have all the .shp files as he kept using PG2 ... methink![]()
