Sgt. Wonko's & TMTM's 1940 Global Module for ABattlemap

Thanks! Glad everything’s working now.

Hey Ryan, so you can’t get the game to start? Did you click New / Axis and Allies: Global 1940 Alpha+2 AxisandAllies.US Version 3?

When you click that does the map show up? Also, do you have Abattlemap Version 3 and did you paste the T40 folder into the main Abattlemap folder?

@Geist:

I just want to say, it’s a beautiful map. Thanks to both Sgt. Wonko and TMTM. Keep up the good work and you just might be looking at staff sgt Wonko!

Thanks!  :-D

@Pvt.Ryan:

HAHA! Ok nobody told me to paste anything  :lol:! I’ve been playing D-Day all day bye myself thinking “now why isn’t this working”. No its just not in the “new” tab. I have the latest version but I didn’t paste the file. Where is the main file i can’t seem to find it.

Yea, you have to paste the whole T40 folder into the main Abattlemap folder. Which is probably C: Program Files/Abattlemap. There’s going to be a bunch of folders with 3 character names. Those are the various mod folders. The T40 folder goes in the same place.

@Pvt.Ryan:

Wow I’m an idiot. And I want to work with computers for a living too  :lol: haha all well. But now its in the module and still not working.

So you can’t see the start file in the New tab inside Abattlemap (Axis and Allies: Global 1940 Alpha+2 AxisandAllies.us Version 3)? That would mean that you possibly pasted it into the wrong section or didn’t paste all of the contents of the folder. You can always start again with a complete reinstall of Abattlemap using Holkann’s installer, and then extract and paste the T40 folder again.

Or post a screenshot of your Abattlemap folder, and T40 folder so that I can see what’s going on.

@Pvt.Ryan:

HAHA! YES! I’M A GENIUS! Never mind Sarge I got it working. Nice map by the way. Reall fine job. Say wanna start a game? I’m up for one. Also could we useNAs? Oztea has some good ones.

Sorry, I have too many games going right now. My sleep is suffering  :-P

@questioneer:

Excellent job gents- Map is awesome!!! :-D

Glad you like it  :-)

I’m experimenting with lowering the size of the map file to see if that has any effect on the mod crashing. It’s crashed a couple of times for me and I know that Stoney and SgtBlitz said that it crashed on them as well.

I’ve reduced the size of the file from 16 mb to 10 mb (Func’s is 7 mb). I’ve had it crash a total of 3 times so it’s a bit hard to be sure that this is going to be the fix since it happens pretty infrequently. If it seems to be the solution I’ll upload a new version with smaller image file sizes.

@TMTM:

I’ll bet the issue is with the larger size.

I reduced the image from 24 bit to 16 bit so it doesn’t look as good but no problems yet. Maybe I’ll wait a week and see if everything’s stable.

I reduced the file size and it still crashed on me, only once, but still I don’t want it to crash at all. So now I’m looking at some other things as well. I’m going to decrease the files size even further and see what happens.

I’m still having some trouble figuring out the problems. I’ll be posting a lower res version of the map tonight though as that does seem to help. Unfortunately to get down to a 7 meg map file I would have to decrease the size of the map which I didn’t want to do.
