Awesome! The calculator on A&A.org has limitations as you point out. The Triple-A one doesn’t give info like the one and two standard deviation results.

im going to make this easy for everyone and just package alpha 3 as T43.gim and no overwrite problems and you can have both alpha2 and alpha3. New download file coming in a few minutes…
probably a good idea.
-
I dont think you understood what I was asking.
I have a file that used the Alpha 2 map from the original T40.gim. If I overwrite that directory will I be able to open the file but it will be on the new map? I suspect the new map only changed the bottom charts, right? The actual map itself shouldnt have changed any, just removing tiles from Start.aam or whatever the extension is. So in theory, if I open an older file it will just have the bmp map under it changed all the tiles etc should still be where they are.

right… your old map files will open with the updated module T40.gim… just the NO chart is updated and a few small changes to the unit price chart and turn order chart. The Map/territory area is unchanged

Wait… the turn order is changed? if you changed the order of toolpieces to reflect a different turn order, then the pieces in her save file will be “swapped” also. does that make sense?

i didnt mess with the toolpeices… i figured that wasn’t a big deal… I just changed the ipc chart at the top. This is still a work in progress… but totally workable and players can make the adjustment to the units/flags… I didn’t want to re-setup all the units… im lazy when it comes to that stuff.

Yea, I’ve had that problem myself when screwing with toolpiece colors etc. I can live with British pieces on Japan and Japanese pieces on England for the one or two games left to complete in Alpha 2. ^_^
Okay. So I can overwrite without any ill effect really, that’s all I was worried about.

You could just use the T43.gim module for now so now with overwritting issues so you can evaluate it.

First thing I am going to note is that in the INCOME chart? Why not change the words for Italy and ANZAC as well? You dont have to edit the colors (I would, personally) but the words should at least be changed.

I swapped the order on the chart but forgot to move the abattlemap flags for those 2.

Not worried about flags, but cosmetically, it would be nice to alter the colors and text accordingly. /shrug. Up to ya all, I can save a new start file myself. :Þ

im working on a new version of the module, which will remove the NO chart from the bottom and condense it into the area at the top right… just right of the unit info chart… this will overwrite that art in that area… which was really cool… but this should help reduce the size of the Map.bmp and make it more stable. I will make it with a new .gim folder so no overwrite issues etc

if you like the art in the top-right, just burn it in over the NO chart like i did with the tech chart in my G40 (i think it survived to Func’s latest too, but I’m not sure)

i didnt make that artwork… this is all wonko’s work… maybe he’ll come around and want to tweak it.

Did India/British Columbia get “unfixed?” They don’t seem to be adding value to the right economy.

West India’s income goes to India.

I’ve updated the module. I’ve removed the NO chart from below the map and its now in the upper right next to the unit chart. By doing this will reduce the size of the module and map… and should help reduce memory issues. This version installs as a new module and does not overwrite Alpha2. Right now I dont have the units setup… I just completed this version this evening. So this is still in the testing phase and hope to get help from senior players of any errors and tweaks needed. GA3.gim will be the home of this version and will not change.

If some one wants to setup the units in the Alpha +3 setup… I’ll include it into the module on the next update.

Working on it. Have a start.aam for you shortly.
