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.
