How To Export for use by qgis ?

[abrogard]

I have been trying to export tiles or images so that I can use qgis to annotate my maps. And I cannot get it to work.
I get files produced .mbtiles but mbtilesviewer can't see anything in them and neither can qgis.
exporting images is easy - just stitch and I get an image but in qgis it might be upside down or whatever.... and there's no question of preserving layers ...

can anyone advise me on this?

main thing: just to put an annotation layer on my maps. any way I can.

second thing: knowing perhaps how to do it all via qgis if suitable.

I do not have any problems with QGIS 3.34 and the MBTiles or GeoTiff + worldfile (.w) that are exported from SAS (mostly using nightly builds).

Thanks for that.

I was out of date so I updated. But I still can't get anywhere. Qgis I mean.

My sasplanet is 230909 10403 - that's the latest I think?

So I'm all up to date. But I still can't do it. I today exported a mbtiles things at 764 kB so that looks okay in file explorer.

But mbview makes nothing of it and qgis makes a file of it which has three bands. I get no picture. I get chatgpt to advise me and do things to try merge these colour bands and whatever. nothing I do works.

So I suspect the exported mbtiles is no good. You could see if you can make a view of it if you like: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/dr4g7kjo ... 4esbw&dl=0

got me beat so far. I'll keep trying. I"m thinking I'll use a different map and no overlays...

No worries ! All okay. More or less.

I now use 'Stitch' instead of 'Export' and it works with settings: Geotiff and create georeferencing. So that's great. I'd like to know what's wrong with export mbtiles but I can live without it.

Now to learn how to use the annotate feature of Qgis.

Just uncheck the "Use xyz schema" box in the mbtiles export options.

thanks, mate, I'll do that.

slowly slowly I begin to get there. I seem to be, apart from yourself, the only english speaker using sasplanet. at least the only one who ever needs any help. such a big world. so many mappers. such a brilliant programme. but no one uses it?

Southfront maps seem to have more places on them than anything I can get.

I've tried every mixture of maps/layers that I can think of but I can't match what southfront produces.

Anyone got any idea of how I could get a similar display?

Here is an example of their maps: https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/10oct2024_Ukraine_Kupyansk_map.jpg
