What is ABattlemap?

@plumsmugler:

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

The modul can be downloaded at daak.de

Hi Tekkyy,

I too would like to know how to use the rsek.exe and the csek.exe described in the Abattlemap help files… they don’t give much details even after translating it into english.

Does anyone know how to do this?

@Foxman:

Reinstalled ABattlemap because it doesn’t allow me to use: “List Units” on the View bar. But it still doesn’t work. Do I need this anyway? What does it do?

It’s been a long, long time, but as far as I remember you should manually delete the ABattlemap.ini. It will be recreated on the next program start.
You should be fine then.

Ok thx P@nther

If I have abattlemap open for more than 15 minutes, it crashes.  Does anyone know how to resolve this?

@Veqryn:

i dunno if that’s any better actually…. the destroyer and cruiser are almost identical, and the pieces are all so small i can barely make them out and have to squint
(1920,1200 pixel screen here…)

Never said they were BETTER, I said I prefer them.  I just think the models are a bit more “true.”  It’s kinda hard to explain, but I definitely prefer the old models - and since there are a lot less than in the doublewide you posted, I think it’s less confusing too.

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

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
