Got a module that someone can't open

[ChuckS]

It opens fine for me, but can I send the module to someone here and they look at it. I've put over a 100 hours into building this upgrade to Panzer 44.

Thanks!

Post a link where it can be downloaded--Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

Do you realize you have a ton of duplicate images in that module?

1PL-Map-J-Full.png and PL-Map-J-Full.png look to be the same image, 1PL-Map-K-Full.gif and PL-Map-K-Full.gif look to be the same, etc etc. You can probably slim it down quite a bit, which in turn will save a lot of time spent on image tiling for a user opening it for the first time.

I was able to open it successfully.

What version of Java do you have, is it 32 or 64 bit version? He is on Windows 10, I am wondering if his Anti Virus is playing some games also.

This is his log:

Hi Charles!

Here's the error log in its entirety:

The module is not finished, doing a battleaxe set of maps to add to it, then I will clean up the dead images.

The log was for an attempt to edit it, when it would not load.

[JoelCFC25]

I would have him check the file size of what he downloaded. It's possible the download truncated and he didn't end up getting the complete file.

[ChuckS]

Yeah that's what I am thinking, I also cleaned up the module to reduce size to 214 meg.

But it still is a very big but has a ton of stuff in it. It's a combination of PB/PL/AIW fitted into the Panzer 44 system and adding a card driving movement system in replace of the horrid simove plot that SPI wanted used.

I personally think a odds based tactical system is just wrong, so the fire tables handle single unit fire instead.

But that's for another forum LOL!
