Yepperino. Going up on the Babes ExtendedArt companion site today.

Will have to recompress things with .rar to get everything under the 100MB site content limit. Most people have dumped WinZIP and replaced it with WinRAR anyway (it works with both .rar and .zip) and .rar is a way better compression algorithm. It's free from lots of Google download sites.

HI,

I have just downloaded and installed what I believed to be the latest DaBabes Stock map release available from DaBabes and BabesLite Scenario Site..

Well now... I was a little careless and did not check.... but.....

I now have the BigBabes map installed, some parts with hexes and some parts without.....

This is what I have just downloaded: BigBabes_Map_Art_and_Data.zip - on Sep 18, 2011 12:28 PM by Web Master (version 1)

Is it possible to get the most recent updates (for the non AB Extended Map edition) in two complete but separate downloads, one with hex sides and the other without please!!!! ?

Alternatively, is it now the case that the BigBabes variants are intended to be used exclusively with Andrew Brown's extended map set?

The non AB Extended Map edition is just the regular Stock map that comes with the game. So there are no updates for a non AB Extended Map edition.

BigBabes 'A' scenarios use the regular Stock map that comes with the game. The 'A' scenarios are updated regularly, but no map specific changes are made since the Stock map itself doesn't change.

BigBabes 'B' and 'C' scenarios use Andrew Brown's Extended Map (v2.02). The reason is the Babes coastline changes and base additions in the Philippines and Malaya are included in AB's Extended Map. It didn't make sense to have tons of different maps out there, so Babes standardized on the AB Extended Map. The only additional changes required were adjusting the x and y hex locations of Aden and Abadan, and the LCUs that arrive there (in the 'B' and 'C' scenarios). Standardizing on the Andrew Babes Extended Map has the additional advantage of Andrew's not having to screw around with a bunch of pwhexe.dat updates for a bunch of different maps whenever there is an error. There's only two to mess with, Stock and ABE.

BigBabes_Map_Art_and_Data.zip - on Sep 18, 2011 12:28 PM is the current one. This zip file just provides the 4 or 5 (hex and nonhex) art panels necessary to convert the Stock map into an Extended map. A (very) few things won't line up perfectly, but it's good enough to play around with and uses the 'official' Extended map data files. If a player likes it, the full Extended map is available for download, in all its glory.

Excellent... that makes sense to me..

Thank you indeed!!

For people who have their own mods (or who play stock), but want to use AB's Extended Map, there's only two things to do; the first "Really Should" be done; the second "Must" be done. First grab any new Babes or BabesLite B version scenario, export to .csv and and have the location file handy. To "your" scenario:

1) Add/modify Clark Field, Subic Bay, Batu Pahat, Kluong (already done if you are already using Babes scenarios); also add Andrew's new bases found at locations 1600 - 1612. Simple cut-and-paste from one .csv to another.

2) Move Aden and Abadan, and all the troops and convoys that arrive at those two bases. In "your" .csv locations file, hit 'filter'. Select LocationX = 20, LocationY = 3 (Aden). Change 20 to 7. Then select LocationX = 39, LocationY = 3 (Abadan). Change 39 to 42, change 3 to 2.

Reimport your scenario. All done.

Using AE Extended Map WiF Style and 1108q3 (MP)

I cant select Aden, Masirah, Abadan or Peshawar using the mouse when I use the AE Extended Map Data with Stacking Limits dated Sep 21, 2011 7:13 AM pwhexe.dat.  I can select them if I use the List All Bases Button. 

It works fine if I switch to the AE Extended Map Data and Structure pwhexe.dat dated Sep 14, 2011 7:34 AM


Thanks Daryl



JeffroK -> RE: AB's DaBabes Extended Map Art (9/23/2011 10:43:57 PM)

Same prob as Daryl, did we have to change the base data as mentioned earlier?

BUT, using the all bases button I can select and see the units at Aden.
I can create a TF and load ships
The game doesnt allow me to select an on map destination.
I can select an off map location and sent my TF to Cape Town.

Was Gilgit a new base, It can be selected OK whereas Quetta (still suffering from an earthquake) and othe NW Frontiers bases cant be.

Battling on pretending they shipped some Aussie Wharfies into Aden.



Graymane -> RE: AB's DaBabes Extended Map Art (9/26/2011 3:18:58 AM)

Hi, I'm trying out DaBigBabes C with Andrew's extended map art. Has anyone made a tracker regions file for it?

Are you still having problems JeffK? To use the extended map you need three things:

- The map itself (map art files),
- A scenario that includes the new and "moved" bases (Aden and Abadan have "moved" on the extended map art.
- An "extended map" map data file (pwhexe.dat).
