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

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.

@questioneer:

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

New update posted.

@Ol’:

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.

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.

@Battling:

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

It’s posted on the first page.

@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.

:-( :-( :-(

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.

@BadSpeller:

@Sgt.:

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 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.

Hmm…I hadn’t tried closing the toolbar yet. I guess I’ll have to experiment a bit.

@questioneer:

Mine still crashing :-(

Can you still not open your partner’s maps?

I’ll admit I’m at a bit of a loss in terms of the crashing. It seems to be only problematic for some people. I could reduce the size of the map to try and get the file size down even more but then people with older versions of the mod won’t be able to play with the newer version. And it’s kind of nice to have the bigger map since there’s more room for units.

@questioneer:

Can’t even open new one.  I’ll try reinstalling but I didn’t have a problem with Func version- can you make a small size of the map- 7G or something to try???

I would try reinstalling battlemap and TMTM mod first.

I could make a smaller one, but I’d have to redo the whole sektor map file which is kind of a pain. I’ll do it at some point but it does take awhile.

Thanks, I see where this leads.

Move it into your main Abattlemap folder. It will overwrite the existing T40 folder.
