Implementing DaBabes extended map

[Yaab]

There is also a WHIFF map, when a cat jumps on a map and then...

I have been using BigBabes files for the extended map and map art.

Well! I finally went through the DBB site enough to find what DBB A,B and C meant. I selected the B option and installed it. I still have the red border but Aden/Abadan, Clark Field/Subic Bay and Buin/Shortlands are all in their correct location and all are accessible. The game is playable! Thank you all for your help in this marathon.

Great news! Looking back at the DaBigBabes mod, it is a pity the team did not make another version of DaBigBabes A scenario and port the ship cargo reduction from DaBigBabes C to that mod. Thus, this DaBigBabes A-Redux mod would have used the stock map and had the -30% cargo reduction. No need to install the extended map for a few news bases.

BTW, AndyMac updated the scenario 001, which uses the stock map, adding several new bases in Burma, China, Malaya and Australia. You may want try this scen as well.

I have been playing the game for some time now and am in mid April 1942 against the AI. But I do wish to use the kamikaze map and as is now I have the original map/graphics. The link for the Generic Mod installer doesn't work so I was stymied there. I have now done a general search and found it. It is now installed and when I boot it up I can activate the kamikaze map. But when booting the game with my save game file I still have the old map and graphics. I am afraid it is too late in the morning or maybe my 68 year old brain cells aren't up to this. Would someone be kind enough to guide me through solving this situation?

There are 2 types of maps in AE. Hex and no hex. I believe that the map that you want to use is no hex. If your preferences are set to show hexes, then that could be your issue. Also make sure that you copied the map files to the top level art folder....GP
