BIG SHOUTOUT TO BUNG AND VEQRYN

[questioneer]

Oh well then I’ll wait til all the bugs are out of it then.

Don’t forget the new convoy and SBR rules along with the changed NOs and the new Soviet-Jap (Mongolian) pact

[barney]

I believe the new convoy rules are the only thing not done

everything else is users enforcing the rules when the game doesn’t

[empireman]

Hurray! :-D

basically people have to play honest like in real life. But if people don’t know then people don’t know and the game gets played out differently, like in real life.

So it is not a big deal.

I’m going to make a post at some point after I feel it is “stable” (bug free) enough for the people here at A&A.org to use it.

FYI: there are really 2 things going on,
1. There is the Map file (contains coding [XML] on how the map should work [done by me, veqryn], as well as the art, design, placements, etc for the map [done by bung]).
2. There is the TripleA engine itself, which has to be coded [Java] on how to handle all the xml things in the map file. The engine code is the reason it has taken so long to get Global finished.  Almost all of the work for the engine was done by me, but I also had a few other helpers: frigoref, edwin, and qwertgold.

I believe sometime in the next ~2 weeks I will release a “stable” version, of both the TripleA engine and also the Global map.

You are welcome to come try the “unstable” version.  Unstable just means there is the possibility that something will not work the way you expect it to.  It does not mean it will cause any problems for your computer.  Unstable is more like “beta”.

@Gargantua:

Is there a NEW Version of Triple A?  or is it still 1.5?

We definitely need a game after our Great War game!

So, I downloaded the 1.5.2.1 and the winzip file for Global. How do I attached the global file to the triplea program?

@Ol’:

Put the zip-file to the following directory:

Windows 7:  C:\Users\YourName\triplea\maps
Windows XP:  C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\triplea\maps

You have to run triplea once before so that these directories are created.

But it will be a lot easier if you use the built-in downloader:

Start triplea, hit “Downloads Maps”, enter the following link

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tripleamaps/triplea_maps.xml

click “List Games”. Then choose the maps you want and click “Install”. That’s it.

You may want to read this thread (especially the first post) for further information

Ok, I have played Global on 1.5.2.1 against the AI at work (ssssh…don’t tell them) and it is great to have. I am currently playing AA50 with 1.5.2.1 as well. You guys have done an awesome job with the program! Now if I could only figure out how to get past the firewall at work…

Awesome!!!  I’ll try it out in a few days here- a little busy.  Its been a long time since I played TripleA but if all is well with Global then I think I will soon be retiring from the slow PBF- although it was good for a long time.  Time to upgrade to TripleA!!!  Sweetness…btw…nice avatar.
