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

[Pvt.Ryan]

Okay so I’ve got the thing in My documents and I copy and paste it to the AA folder but it doesn’t work. Its not a folder though its a Rar file. How do I unzip it?

[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.

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.

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.

[questioneer]

yeah mine crashed too- let me know when the reduced mod is ready.

[Sgt. Wonko]

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.

[questioneer]

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

[Sgt. Wonko]

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.

New update posted.

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.

[Sgt. Wonko]

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.

[Battlingmaxo]

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

[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.

:-( :-( :-(

It’s posted on the first page.

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.

I am still on version1, and have crash problems.

It would close and disappear without warning, many times.

I had the Toolbar open (and not the Infoview).

When I closed the Toolbar, It stopped closing (crashing).

I don’t know if that helps or not, but that’s what I observed.
