Hi, got a problem with ABattlemap. It doesn’t seem to save any maps. When I click on a map to download, it says that it is saved to the ABattlemap folder in Program Files, yet when I go to ABattlemap program and try to open it, I can’t find the file anywhere.
Any help??? :?
You may have to change your “browse” window to “downloads” instead of perhaps “desktop”
What do you mean???

You were right. I got it. Thanks. :-D
Any idea when Stoney’s version of Global 40 will be done??? He’s probably near completion right???

Hmm, the only thing he can add to func’s map is abbreviations and ipc values
Also add the VCs

The ipc values are already listed if you put the cursor over the territory and most of us made our own abbreviations. BTW, anyone know why shan state is abbreviated SHM instead of SHN?

No doubt it is a typo. Just change it with the sektor editor. Heck, with that editor you could change a lot of names, like “Japan” to “Death Star” :-)

LOL. Well it’s led to people calling it “Sham State.”
How do I use the SektorEditor?

It’s actually very easy.
File -> Sektor editor
Then you click on a territory or zone, and it automatically brings up the stats and name. You just change it, then save. It’s great.
It doesn’t automatically change when i push save and also doesn’t when I refresh it.
Also, how to I use it to add the airbase to philippines?

Alright here, hold my hand now.
After making your change, I click “Save”, then “Save Sektorinfo” (button on left), then “Save” again. Might be an extra click somewhere, but it works.
Okay, when I now move the cursor over Shan State, it has the correct name and abbreviation, but the abbreviation on the map itself is wrong. i suppose it’s impossible to change the map itself?

Right - you can’t do that with the editor, I don’t think. If you knew how to change what’s on the map, or how to permanently add an airbase, I think you’d know enough to create your own battlemap. And if you know that much, you need to finish the Global module for us.
Open the map file in PAINTBRUSH (this is to ensure you do not use too many colors!).
Zoom in/out as you desire.
Color in the wrong text
Type in the right text (in the color you want.)
Save the Bitmap (bmp) file.
I believe the map is called MAP.bmp and the file that starts all the units in their correct spot is START.map or something like that.
I change the colors, etc all the time. I have a kick ass (given the limit on tech) image of a burning factory for SBR damage. I’m also working on trying to double the map’s size so I can double the tile size and give myself primo pictures. (Got some good ones for our current now, just not sharing cause you all mean to me!!! no yer not, but whateva, my tiles! lol.)
I have a Windows, not a Mac

Same deal, just replace MS PAINT (which, for the record does work on a mac if you run Windows on it, and yes, it can run on it.) with whatever the MAC version is.
Or give me the file and the changes
or open it in Adobe Photoshop or Jasc Paint Shop Pro or whatever…just make sure you stay 16 bit bitmap and not jpeg or gif or whatever.
Can you add Func’s G40 module to the pack?
