I wanted to download ABattlemap so I could play multiple games and not set up, but my spyware protection said it was bugged. HHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! THANKS
Well, I’m not entirely sure how I did it, but at 1:35 AM this morning, I Conquered India & now my Joint German & Japanese Forces are Marching on Moscow.
Do a search on this site, there are a few threads describing where and how to install. Google it if you have to. When I installed it last time it came with all the maps, no need to install other packages. When it first runs it defaults to the original second edition map, select new map should present you with dozens of maps/games.
That’s very interesting. Good for Atti. I considered doing that myself, but MapView is written in a dead language so I didn’t think I’d get much participation with it.
I have installed the newest abattlemap and the map for the newest game but none of my maps have a toolbar or infobar. What am I doing wrong? Would someone please help me?
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.
Ok, that helped with figuring out how to use the game but I’m still having the problem of infoview and toolbar not appearing unless I reinstall. I followed the instructions of deleting the .ini file and keeping the windows to the middle of the program but neither work. While this is a pain for my PC, for some reason I don’t have this problem when I run the program on my laptop.
I prefer a 2 monitor setup anyway so you dont have to keep collapsing the map so you may want to post from the desktop and leave the map on the laptop. The info and toolbars usually vanish when they are placed at map edges so leave them in the south atlantic and indian oceans. Just remember to look under them occasionally to make sure a new fleet or IC hasnt spawned
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
