I can send you the one's I have, I believe they were created by the AK's.  If you want to PM your e-mail, I'll send 'em when I get home from work.

The 47 Ronin have some good maps. They're all in a Zip file: http://www.the-47-ronin.org/seabag/maps.zip

Correction: They're 412th maps, 47 is just hosting copies.

GNucks: Thanks for the maps.  The color codes for the different objects is a nice touch.  I downloaded them today.  Also, Wil2ur will be sending me some maps.  Thanks to both of you, Popsman

If you just search "maps" you get four pages of results. How many are relevant or helpful....?

Sometimes, the search functionality can have issues.  For example, I just tried it (typed "maps" into search text box, pressed "Search" button).  Got 1 page, none of the results useful.  If I then opened a new session and tried it again, I got more pages.  Regardless, there are folks here who aren't all that familiar with message boards, etc.  We have users ranging from 10 year olds to 90 year olds with various levels of familiarity with this game and the message board -- not all of them looking to cause you trouble by asking a question.

Try looking yourself first. Ask for help or clarification second?

Sorry. It just ranks up there with "give everyone a trophy" or just plain lazy with me. Pet peeve.

I dunno, around here when someone's asking a question that seems to the rest of us to be rather stupid or a waste of time, you can be nice and help the guy, be a jerk while still helping the guy (i.e. dropping a lmgtfy link), or be a jerk and not help at all. But why post if it's going to be the third option?
Title: Re: Field maps
Post by: WxMan on November 25, 2011, 07:41:09 PM
And since you chose the third option, why did you post?

Ah, Irony -- she is not sleeping off turkey dinner, it seems.

How did I choose the third option? I answered the OP politely.

I had the 412th maps installed before and reinstalled them yesterday/put in AH maps files and they're not on my clicpboard. Can't remember the process to get them to show up. Can anyone tell me what i need to do to finish the process of installing them.

I renamed old map folder map1 and placed 412th maps in folder named maps. Still maps don't show up on clipboard.  :headscratch: What am I not doing right?

Just loaded some new maps in game with no problems, here's what I did:

1) Dropped the new maps in: C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High\maps

2) Ensured they were all 512x512 BMP's.

3) Entered an arena in Aces High, right-clicked the center of the Clipboard and clicked Clipboard Maps in the drop-down menu.

4) Clicked the Add New Map button, clicked the drop-down arrow under Select a File and selected the file I wished to add.

5) Entered a description and clicked Apply

Now when I click the drop-down arrow next to Clipboard Map I see the map I just added under the name I just gave it in the description box.

Yes indeed, those maps were worked up by Pand of the 412th Braunco Mustangs, one of the finest pilots
of one of the finest squadrons to ever take to the skies of Aces High.
  The ones on my site (47 Ronin) are actually "old" as of two days or so ago. Pand worked up
a newer set. However, to my eye, the newer ones just seemed too "busy", so I'm usin' the
old set for the "standard" for my squad.

Oddball

These have been my favorite for the longest time, I've just been too lazy *cough* greedy *cough* to share them:

White BG, large and bright icons and colors, and they save more ink if you prefer printing your maps (best way to do it imo)
