Modules for ABattlemap

Re: Modules for ABattlemap

I may be wrong but I think the OP is referring to the 1941-Edition that came out last autumn.
And not to AA50-1941.

So AFAIK there is still no module for the “new” 1941 edition.

TripleA already has a module (map) for 1941, maybe you want to give it a try…

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.

@Gamerman01:

It would be very nice if the InfoView and Toolbar were edited to change the powers to their Alpha3 turn orders.

d’oh you’re right.  that might take some work

Not as muich as you would think.  Copy/paste the pieces as necessary (done this before) and alter the text (also done this before.)

You should wait a bit. Don’t rush, because Mr. Harris said that he want make a new update (maybe the final version) in like 4-6 weeks. From I can understand, alpha 3 is even more provisional than latter versions. No much point updating the module

About the charts, the other time I simply copy pasted the letters from the old files  :-) And when I do the module for the last version, I’ll have not much to change. The list would be:

Unit costs as you pointed Some NO boxes here and there (I still prefer the NO boxes near to the zone they are related, good old AA50 style) Setup in fact is the thing I hate more. One has to redo the whole setup to prevent glitches. Not difficult, be requires much work, and double check I’ll check the optionals chart, just in case some of them are obsolete (probably the NAP and the merry mongolians)

As for the mongolians, not much work to do. If they stay as they are, simply I should delete the NAP box (the mongolians substitute the pact), and when they are activated, Japan’s simply must put an ‘allied friendly’ marker.

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

Hi Tekkyy,

I too would like to know how to use the rsek.exe and the csek.exe described in the Abattlemap help files… they don’t give much details even after translating it into english.

Does anyone know how to do this?

@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.
