Google Earth overlay stopped working, having issues with alternative.

Unread postby Brickrail782 » Thu Jun 29, 2023 7:42 pm

I recently discovered that the Google Earth overlay stopped working (presumably because it had been ~4 years since I had last renewed the billing account). Hoping to avoid the need to set up another billing account with Google, I decided to download a third-party alternative called "MapyCZforTS" (link to that here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/thread ... ost-670223).

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get that to function correctly either, all it does is show tiles with Czech writing on them, that I assume says something to the effect of "no image available".

Unfortunately, I can't seem to post the screenshots I took of the process and the results (it seems that .png files aren't allowed to be posted), but the pictures are are available at the Dovetail Forums link I provided above. I can post the log that I got from the application, though.

Only a suggestion:
I have found a fork which is mentioned on the project page of MapyCZforTS :
https://github.com/JachyHm/MapyCZforTS2 by JachyHm.
This one might be worth trying.

Thanks for the reply, but where exactly do I download this fork from? I'm a quite the newbie when it comes to GitHub.

Clink on the link provided. On the page you will see Code in green. Click to open. Click on download ZIP. Unzip and view the Readme file. Follow the directions. Good luck.

Ah, thank you! I'll take a closer look at that when I've got some more time later. *!!thnx!!*

I just took a look at the fork, but unless I accidentally downloaded something else by mistake, it seems like it's the same thing as the main download. Even the ReadMe is the same. Did I somehow miss something?
