Modules for ABattlemap

There is also the simple solution that I am using for the German/Italy AA guns. I opened up the tool pieces in paint and using the eyedropper tool and bucket tool I changed the White background on The Italian AA guns to the light gray of the Italian pieces. And it took about as long for me to do as to type that.

Hello,
You all have an awesome sight here, this is my 1st post. I am not able to get access to download the ABattlemap. It will not allow me any access to register as a member. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!

Kay, just fire an email to me, Holkann (isfcco@hotmail.com) cause I forgot what your addy was.

what do you  think about fleet markers?

What exactly do you mean? Like those things used in AAR FTF?

sorry i only know AA50. i agree that having the units in place looks cool, but its really annoying moving big naval groups bit by bit ( i know CRTL / Shift function ;) )
i though of something like this.  now u could place jap F1 marker in sz and the actual fleet plus F1 marker in … um… mongolia :D, UK fleets go to sahara  :mrgreen:

( i also changed bombers ( with bombs  :evil:) and AC ( make thicker)  thx to P@nther for input! )

Thanks HolKann! Your Help is apprieciated!

I know this is a little off topic, but has someone created a “Big Pieces” bmp file that is compatible with Pacific? The one I use with AA50 scrambles the country designations on the AAP map.

Thanks in advance!

You’re welcome :-)

I think the idea of fleet-markers is great. It reminds me of the old marshaling circles and cards I read about here:

HELP!!!

I’m in a tournament game and I am having trouble getting the toolbar to show all of a sudden.  I opened it and it wasn’t there.  I tried downloading it again and restarting my computer and it doesn’t show.  I’m gonna try reinstalling it again (good thing the maps are saved on the forum).  I have the file and it says that it is turned “on” but it doesn’t show.  The infobar is showing but not the toolbar.  Can anyone help??? :-(

Questioneer

Most issues with ABattleMap will be solved when deleting only the ABattleMap.ini

With the next start of ABattleMap the ABattleMap.ini will be created again with all windows arranged by default.

has anyone tried to customize the map’s for Abattlemap,
i have changed mine to different shades of green, and the sea zone’s to blue, it look’s something like the AA50 board, i can write the names of the territories and sea zones over the color

Would you please post an image? Would be interesting :-)

the map file is too big to post

@d142:

the map file is too big to post

Why not resize it / convert it to jpg or use mediafire.com ?
HTH :-)

here is the map, the quality of the image is altered, because i have superimposed the image of a battleship to the map, and decreased the size of the picture to fit the attachment file capacity

Hey guys.  I just downloaded this program but the resolution of the map is bigger than my screen.  Is there a way to scroll the map or to resize it?

You cannot resize it.

But you can scroll by right-clicking into the screen, holding and then moving the mouse.
HTH :-)

if it is the map that i posted, you can not run that in a program, you would have to open the battlemap / map. file , and then move it to a paint or bitmap program for editing/customizing, when you have it customized, save the picture as map, before it is installed the file name should be changed to map.bmp, or the same as the original file in the Abattlemap program, you should see a flash image of 24 bit program appear, save it as 24 bit, then copy the file from pictures to program files, it should replace the map that would be in Abattlemap, when it is replaced, reinstall Abattlemap, when the Abattlemap program is open, the new map should be set, it is possible to make as many map’s as wanted, without deleting the original map, do not save the new map to the Abattlemap folder, replace the map at program files,

Yes, thank you :-)

Your map looks very nice. Although I got used to the color-scheme of the distributed map (that is close to the colors of the units) I like very much the idea of naming the territories/zones.
I think that makes moves easier to handle, especially for new players.
