Abattlemap

i have webroot security and it wont lset me download. what do i do thanks.

Darn, was hopin it was already done!  Hey, we gotta be first out the door, we don’t want that icky TripleA game showing us up!  We’re Abattlemap!  We’re the best!  (wink)

Let me know if you need anything other than me sitting down to deal with the 2nd edition rules, to help out.  I need to print them out and read them - one day.

@plumsmugler:

Ok, that helped with figuring out how to use the game but I’m still having the problem of infoview and toolbar not appearing unless I reinstall.  I followed the instructions of deleting the .ini file and keeping the windows to the middle of the program but neither work.  While this is a pain for my PC, for some reason I don’t have this problem when I run the program on my laptop.

I prefer a 2 monitor setup anyway so you dont have to keep collapsing the map  so you may want to post from the desktop and leave the map on the laptop. The info and toolbars usually vanish when they are placed at map edges so leave them in the south atlantic and indian oceans. Just remember to look under them occasionally to make sure a new fleet or IC hasnt spawned

For anyone who is interested the bigpiece.bpm file is contained in both the aa50 41 and 42 modules. to get it to work for aae aap you just need to open the the 41 or 42 module then copy and paste the  big piece file to the module you want to run it .

Unfortunately the colors and fonts are for the aa50 units in the order in which they move based on either the 41 or 42 scenario so the map is misrepresented

I used to use macs.  They were frustrating.  Some people like them.  That’s fine.  Some people like self-fladulation too.  Some people like Rocky-Road Ice Cream.  On both accounts, I do not like them.

As for ability to pick battles, you were the one attempting to make someone look stupid by picking out two quotes that exactly compliment each other and attempting to show a contradiction.  Not my fault you chose poorly.  Perhaps you’re the European leader who understands the basics of combat but who chooses the wrong target?

@Foxman:

Reinstalled ABattlemap because it doesn’t allow me to use: “List Units” on the View bar. But it still doesn’t work. Do I need this anyway? What does it do?

It’s been a long, long time, but as far as I remember you should manually delete the ABattlemap.ini. It will be recreated on the next program start.
You should be fine then.

Ok thx P@nther

@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!

Alright, here’s my two cents!  I hope some of you find it helpful - please feel free to post feedback in my tutorial’s thread: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=18773.0

@Veqryn:

i dunno if that’s any better actually…. the destroyer and cruiser are almost identical, and the pieces are all so small i can barely make them out and have to squint
(1920,1200 pixel screen here…)

Never said they were BETTER, I said I prefer them.  I just think the models are a bit more “true.”  It’s kinda hard to explain, but I definitely prefer the old models - and since there are a lot less than in the doublewide you posted, I think it’s less confusing too.
