BAT is the bomb. But the map I need to re-do my America's Ace of Aces is not loading. The Dutch New Guinea map is just not cooperating.

Any ideas?

I think you may have a problem with your install - all of the following are taken in BAT on the Dutch New Guinea map by Farang.

Hi nyall,

Thanks for the plug. 

With real life issues happening last month and for half of this month or so I have no time to look at every old map I have made. 
Things should be better towards mid to late January or so (crossing fingers)

Cheers

Kirby

Havent even had time to download and install BAT as yet 

[nyali]

hi Farang - your welcome, with all the 'cant get BAT' to work posts it's easier to show that they DO work with the odd picture or two.

Funny thing is, until last night I hadn't ever used your map apart from an initial test when it first came out...... Now i know why I liked it then, it will be getting far more use LOL


So far as BAT is concerned, the map works perfectly fine

This map is the reason that I decided to redo the campaign. I sure appreciate you working on this farang65. It's a vital map that I was amazed that it wasn't included. A lot of important missions, history happened in this area and it hasn't been presented because the map of this area was unavailable in major upgrades and mods.
I remember finding it on some mod that disappeared and the in CUP. With everyone migrating to BAT I decided to work there. Hopefully it all will work together soon.

nyali - quite frankly, I would suggest that you've just been lucky. I'd go by a lottery ticket if I were you.

Hairog,
   nyali's report is correct.  Kirby's Dutch New Guinea map works just fine in BAT.  In fact, I was the beta tester for all maps prior to the release of BAT.  There were a few maps that needed to be fixed from the CUP install (not this one), but all BAT maps work correctly.

   You say the map does not load.  Do you mean in your campaign missions or just trying to load the map from the FMB in BAT?  Or both maybe?  Does it just freeze or crash?  What does your log file report?


*****EDIT*****

If you are trying to load your "Short Bong" campaign/missions, and have not updated, it will not work as it was created originally.  I just checked and your mission files try to run:  " MAP NewGuinea/load.ini"

It should be "MAP DutchNewGuinea/load.ini"

I changed the name in your mission files and they load in BAT.

Sorry dpeters95 lost track of this one.

Got all the way through BAT update #12 and I still have the same issue with Farang65's DuthNewGuinea map in any mission or the FMB.

It just fails to load and down near the bottom it says "Section [map2d] not found in 'maps/dutchnewguinea/load.ini". No crash just can't find the map.

I see no Kirby's Dutch New Guinea map only Farang65s map which works fine in VP.
