Does anyone know any A&A-like games that are free and require no download?
Sgt. Wonko's & TMTM's 1940 Global Module for ABattlemap
-
Hello. I was using the module (the latest 3.1 version posted on mediafire) over the last few days and I did notice a lot of crashing. I think it is a very well-done module with good functionality, and so if the authors were planning to do further debugging, I wanted to share my observation since I did not see it mentioned in the thread so far.
While working on it, I noticed it crashed when rolling the mouse across territory borders - not particular ones that I could pick out, but just when it checks the territory info. Sometimes moving the mouse in the opposite direction or back and forth would do it. If I had to guess based on experience, I would say the crash may have something to do with the mouse rollover components in the module.
I hope that is helpful information. Thanks for the module.

Tanks for the info I think my wife and I found that we need to download something to open the one folder to the battlemap. I’ll try to find time this week to get er done
I look forward to gaming with all of ya’ll -
I downloaded Abattlemap 8.0 extracted and copied the 3.1 version to the file. However there is no toolbar or infobar and random white numbers with a blue background throughout the map. How can I fix this? Thanks guys

Hey, just a question about wolf packs on ABattlemap. I put a German flag inside the wolf pack box but it still only subtracts 2 IPCs in the infoview box. Am I doing something wrong.

As for the infobar and toolbar, try going to the Windows tab and check that they are being displayed.

how doI get the toolbox onto the map so I can use it.

I remember a long time ago sometimes I couldn’t see the toolbox because it was off the screen. Maybe if you change your screen resolution, you will be able to find the toolbox and move it onto the map, and then you can change your screen resolution back. Or maybe this is not your problem at all - just trying to help.

i have a serious problem. i like to follow some games on this board here. i installed holkann´s module, installed the 3.1. version of tmtm as well. but, not always, but some maps of games i cannot open correctly. which means that i get shown a map of a&a classic and not alpha 2+ etc. it is strange. lucky i am, i never had any crashes… :D
-
I can display the g40 map .2. The problem is there are no units on it and no toolbar to create units. Also when someone tries to send me their map I get the message unable to open files of type .aam. Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve had this problem. It’s a memory issue, so there are a few things you can do.
- Get more memory. (Not my favorite, so I didn’t do it. :-P )
- Try clicking on the Windows tab in ABattleMap and closing the InfoView and ToolBar windows before loading the new map, then do the same to open them back up after the map loads. (Most of the time works for me.)
- Close out some of the background programs running. (May or may not be an option depending on how many background programs you have to run.)
- Get a new computer :-P (I had to start opening G40 maps on my old non-internet computer that didn’t require firewalls and anti-virus running in the background constantly, now I transfer the files between computers with a USB drive. Tedious, but it works.)

@Sgt.:
If you already have Abattlemap 0.79 it’s better to upgrade since HolKann’s installer may write over some of the mods you’re using.
Upgrade from Abattlemap 0.79
http://www.mediafire.com/?djkingzm3inHave you seen this happen - the installer deleting or overwriting modules? I thought I tested it to make sure this didn’t happen, but it’s been a long time. My memory may well be failing me, but I thought if you have a module with the same name as one it wants to install, it leaves what you have. Am I wrong? Of, course, I can certainly understand just playing it safe.
-
also, how did you compress the bitmap? and how did you figure out that the large file size was causing crashes?
-
I have the upgrade, Version 0.80, and I didn’t have the installer delete or overwrite any modules.
I didn’t compress the bitmap, I’m not sure how you would do that, but I just guessed that it was the large file size since it only did it for G40 maps.

I’m referring to this:
@Sgt.:I have reduced the size of the image file to 10 mb which reduces issues with crashing. There are hi-res versions of each map included in the folder, you can use those versions if you never had any issues.
Wonko?

Gotcha, didn’t realize who you were talking to. Wonko, let me know how you did that because I’m still having issues.

Well, since I do not see the question asked yet, let me pose it. Will you guys and updating the map for the latest alpha changes? Or, are you waiting for official word from Larry that the changes are complete and no more are forthcoming?

strange. what operating system are you using? Are there any other circumstances specific to you that you can think of which might be atypical? Have you tried re-installing?
