I noticed that earlier today. I was going to wait another day and then try and contact Tuomas

Not available as a standalone that I have ever heard about

Just tried the email address I had for him that I had used before and received an autogenerated message that he no longer works for that company so I tried an old gmail address I had .

I just got an automated message that it was delivered so lets hope

It has not been working for me for some time. Tried going back to making maps in the pre-Venhola fashion and thought it would speed things up but found it's more frustrating not having that detailed level of information Venhola provides.

You might be thinking of WW2 map and MicroDEM which I think was sort of the origin of Venhola:

Still nothing. I barely remember how to do this without this tool, help ;__;

I will wait a few days more before trying that Gmail address again in the meantime I have tried contacting his former employer to see if they have any contact info for him

Suggest finding a map you have already built using the program and modifying it to suit the new one you want to build. It's OK to take some liberties with maps. You cannot do precise representations of existing terrain anyway.

The cut-and-paste feature in the extended map editor is handy for that

No reply yet and there could be 100 reasons why but I may have found out why this has happened. On my first try today a message was displayed that said the website’s certificate expired 81 days ago

Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE

BUT HOPE STILL LIVES

I can get to the map editor now but it shows a white screen until you press the bottom button that toggles between map and satellite imagery

And from that I was able to generate a map ! get while you can

I've been able to get almost all of Venhola running local except for one bit... the download bit which is stored as https://www.venhola.com/maps/download.php.

Apparently you have to pass some identifiers to it and it does it's magic.

The last time I tried a map a couple of weeks ago it was working though there were some things that had to be done a little differently than before I still go the DL OK. Will be out most of the day but will investigate on the weekend

I just DL an Italian mountain/valley map no problems except for Chrome refusing to let me enter but with Firefox I was able to assure it I was a big boy and didn't need an auto-nanny
