ABattlemap P40 module v3.2 is here!

added version 3.1:

I had forgotten to put pieces on the toolbar for the starting setup in Start.AAM (P4B Start.AAM should be good), so that is now fixed.

Also, I don’t know why I named it version 1.x, because it was supposed to be version 3.x (with it being my third version of the module and all…) so I changed it.

Jim010 - thanks for posting.  It sounds like you have not upgraded your ABattlemap program.  Refer back to the first post for instructions and a link.  If you have upgraded the program, do you have more than 1 Pacific 1940 module installed?  If so, which ones?  Did you follow the how-to’s for installing alongside an older module or upgrading?  Thanks.

@jim010:

Got it.  So how does it calculate convoy disruption?  I don’t see it drop the IPCs when I put enemy ships in the waer.

Do you want to know the technical details of how it works?  Or do you just want to know that convoy damage is supposed to show up in the “Damage” row in the Infoview window, and is subtracted in the “Sum” row.  Also, note that the damage only shows up if the 2 involved nations are at war - signified for US/Jap by US control of it’s at-war NO, and for UK/ANZAC/Jap by placing any flag in the “UK/ANZAC At War” marker in the Himalayas.

@Commando:

Can someone walk me through the exact steps on how to not only get the P40 modules/battlemap working but the A&A Revised Edition as well. I used have A&A Revised up and running, played many games but for some reason it’s not working now(I haven’t played in quite some time) and now I can’t get anything running. I just want to do a fresh install of everything. Thanks VERY much in advance! =)

@Stoney229:

How-to’s

“How do I…”
Use/install ABattlemap

Refer to this post.  Once you download the ABattlemap installation file from HolKann’s link, install the program and then replace ABattlemap.exe (in the program folder), with the new ABattlemap.exe which you can download from the link in my first post.

HolKann’s post also includes a link for downloading “AModulePack”, which installs several modules including 3 different AARevised modules.

1. Download and install ABattlemap .79f using HolKann’s link and instructions.
2. Replace ABattlemap.exe (in your ABattlemap program folder, usually located C:\Program Files\ABattleMap), with the new ABattlemap.exe which you can download from the link in my first post
3. Download and install the latest version of the P40 module using the link in my first post
4. Download and install AModulePack using HolKann’s link and instructions

(steps 3 and 4 are interchangeable)

Let me know if you have any further questions.

@Commando:

Stoney,

Thanks very much! I was able to get the map going, except still don’t see the P40 map. What is the map called? I can see all the other maps, just not the P40 map. I followed your directions to the letter. Thanks in advance!

If you’ve installed the module properly, you can open it by New>“Pacific 1940 v3.x”

@Battlingmaxo:

I assume the ABattlemap.exe file is the Icon with the map that you see when you open the battlemap folder.

Correct.

Sorry, newer operating systems I think have file extensions hidden by default.  As a tip, I think .EXE files should say “Application” in gray under the file name.

note:  I revised the steps for upgrading a “P4B.gim” module to the new one.

If you followed the old steps, you will not be able to open someone else’s save file from the new module until you either reverse the steps (not recommended) or simply install another copy of the new “P40.gim” (recommended) alongside your upgraded P4B.gim.  Thanks.

@TMTM:

Hey Stoney! Good job on the modules! I haven’t looked but have you updated or added to the tutorial for making modules? Feel free to add the next chapter to the knowledge base for everyone to find and use etc. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the compliment!  I may do that, idk, but in the meantime anyone is welcome pm me and/or post a question if there’s anything they can’t figure out.

@The:

Hey Stoney,

I have attempted to download the file from your link you provided, but when the file is finished downloading and I open it, there is no .exe file in the folder. Any help would be great thanks.

Sorry you’re having trouble.  I just downloaded the file again and the .EXE is indeed there.

The .EXE comes from the download of Atti’s P40 module on Flames of Europe, not the new module on Mediafire.  Reread the first post and you’ll see what I’m talking about.  Let me know if this does not solve your problem.

I would distribute the .EXE with the new module to make it easier, but it belongs to Attila and he has not yet responded to my request for permission to do this.

@gamerman01:

Where do you track the IPC’s on hand?
How do you change the color of China??  It’s hurting my eyes.   8-)

It sounds like you’re trying to use Atti’s module which was linked to only because it includes the new ABattlemap update.  Try downloading and installing my new module which you can download from mediafire, and if you have an older module which uses the P40.gim directory name, you will need to delete/overwrite it or follow the how-to for upgrading it.  Does that make sense?  Let me know if you still have trouble.
