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

@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.

@questioneer:

Any updates on this yet???   I wanna be able to finish and start some more games.

New update posted.

@Ol’:

I have not had any issues with it crashing…yet. I did just download 3.1. Thanks again for all the work!

Good to hear that you haven’t had any crashing. It must be somewhat dependent upon different system specs. If you like I can post the hi-res version of the map since it looks better.

I’ve just posted a new folder with the hi-res versions inside so that people who don’t have problems with crashing can use them.

@Battling:

Now that the signatures are dead, where do I get 3.1 from ?

It’s posted on the first page.

@questioneer:

Got the latest one- 10KB one-

1.) it takes 2 tries to get a new map each time
2.) can’t open my partners map- he may have the 3.0 version still- I’ll check.

:-( :-( :-(

1. Do you mean you open up Abattlemap and it crashes each time you hit create a new game?

2. Can’t open your partner’s maps? That’s weird, the only changes were to the map file, and start map file.
