Gibsonm Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 You might reduce the package size by uploading a Zip file (unsure if *.zip format is supported). It might also maintain the package as opposed to several discrete files? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry: I was imprecise - I tried it first with the full file, and then with zip file, it still wouldn't work: When it reaches 100%, nothing happens. It just states that it is uploading: Edited November 20 by Nike-Ajax 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 20 Members Share Posted November 20 Please contact our webmaster (@SteelBeasts.com). Generally, we think that it's better to push map packages of that size to the eSim Games map server, and then tell people the map UID so they can pull the file via Transfer Manager. But, admittedly, our map server is not open for uploads from the public. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was actually where I thought we would end with this, so I will contact the webmaster. To be clear: that would then be volcano@steelbeasts.com ... ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest still mentioning the new map here somewhere, perhaps in the "Scenarios and Maps" section, along with the code so people know it exists and can download it - via the Map Transfer Manager, should they wish to do so.

Good point and will do - I dont know how it works or if I will get the UID from the Webmaster, but will look into it 👍 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike-Ajax Posted November 20 Author Share Posted November 20 Ergh ... its too big for my private mail. But I have mailed the Webmaster, so I think we will sort it out via a drive link or something... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I saw when @Nike-Ajax shared his screen was a sizeable map (over 20 x 20) all at 1m resolution. No idea how that compares to your map. Perhaps Nike will provide a confirmatory size in due course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK-DDAM Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 yeah i got mine at 0.4 meter 50x50 km was unpublished 26 gb. packed down to 2.5 gb. so hence why i said its doable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike-Ajax Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 I dont know about the peripherals or tech stuff in this. Its a map of (only) the western part of Zealand. Its 40 x 60 km: And I just sent it to @Sean - so hopefully it will work now. Thanks for the help and input all 😁🤗 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike-Ajax Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 (edited) Looking at Næstved from N towards the S: Its not perfect - but its good (enough) Look at the height differential on this: Thats not bad Edited November 21 by Nike-Ajax 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Thanks. Ideally we'll see the code sometime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike-Ajax Posted November 22 Author Share Posted November 22 Allright - thanks to the guys the map is now on the map server: I will make an entry now in the downloads section so that everybody can get access and use it Its not perfect in any way shape or form. But I do think that it is good enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 22 Members Share Posted November 22 You might also want to tell the world the map UID in this thread, it's probably more widely read than what you might post on the maps Download page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point So here it is - have fun: This is the map id (UID): 13c11a22-d668-4126-aada-6ebd1123316e If you use the map in a scenario, clients should auto download the map if they have the map transfer tools installed. Remember that the name of the folder should be Zealand_40x50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
