For those of you who don’t check the AA50 boards, there’s a discussion going on over there that’s relevant to AAR as well. It appears that Hasbro is taking action to shut down TripleA, probably in the hopes that they will make more money from Game Table Online as a result.

TripleA standardization
-
I am not againist ABattleMap. I have ABattleMap and Mapview installed on my laptop, I have evaluated both of them comparing with TripleA, for online gaming and PBEM purposes on my A&A italian forum. Me and my friends there have selected TripleA. We have taken this decision for several motivations, and we are fine with TripleA.
The principal difference that I see is that they are two different types of programs. ABattleMap and Mapview are map utilities while TripleA is a game engine. It is like comparing a word processor with a database, for example. There is no best one. There is always a specific tool for making a particular work.
Any way TripleA is ordinarily improved, by the community, and contributing signaling them the problems is a way to have them solved. -
The problem with triple A i have encountred is that it does not allow me to host the game. Any ideas what could be the
problem? -
it says there is a problem with the router or with the firewall. I use the standard java windows xp platform.

You have to enable the port forwarding in your router.
On this web site you may found a brief explanation of the operation you have to do (and why :-D):

simply follow the link to port forwarding in the home page.

it worked, many thanks! I am just hosting my first game on triple A. After 4 rounds for allies against bid of 7 it actually looks i might win… increadible. Many thanks!
-
You are welcome Granada!
I am only trying to give a hand! :-)
-
I have another but really substantial problem with TripleA. It does not want to log me in under my name claiming i have a wrong password which is a nonsens. When I try to find any address of an admin or support it appears to me there is none. Can anybody please help?
-
If you intend the password for accessing the lobby it is not a question of TripleA.
Or maybe a problem while writing your password.
Try to create a new username and check! -
Well i tried, it worked for a while but now it seems the only “reward” i got is that since today i cannot connect with the explanation that reads “Could Not Connect to Lobby : Connection Refused : No further information”. Any idea what that means?
-
I do not know the specific meaning of the error you get, but if it worked and now it do not it should be not a problem of TripleA, the programs has not changed. The problem is of the connection, the Lobby Server or your internet provider.
Sorry, but I can not help you on this. :(

The lobby was constantly down yesterday. I don’t know if it is fixed already but when you get that msg it usually means that there’s some problem with the lobby.

tripleA rocks.
the only knock is the weak AI, but single player games are not its focus. having the ability to play solo in any capacity for a free open source project intended for online play is really a bonus imo
not being able to configure a firewall is a user issue, especially when they explain (for the non tech savvy) how to configure your firewall on their website. in these instances the question should be, why dont I know how to operate my firewall, not why cant the game configure my firewall for me.

I agree! :wink:
And about: “why dont I know how to operate my firewall, not why cant the game configure my firewall for me” if TripleA would be able to configure my firewall the question will be: “What kind of firewall I have?” :-D
