TripleA 1.7.0.3 Stable has been released

Thank you Veqryn,

btw what does AAWC mean - what is this bundle good for?

[Veqryn]

its for a different club, all it does is include some of their games (the “classic_variations” games)

I noticed that I have to allow java.exe to pass through the firewall when using the dice server.
In versions prior to 1.7.0.3 I had to allow javaw.exe instead of java.exe.
What is behind this?

Edit:
I have to correct:
It seems that it was only the very first dicing where java.exe had to pass the firewall.
It has only been javaw.exe after that.

2nd edit:
I now proved from the firewall log that the very first contact to the dice server was via java.exe (IP 173.255.229.134 Port 80).
Once it had been allowed all other contacts to the dice server go via javaw.exe.
From that moment on java.exe has never tried to access the web again.

i changed the default download for windows to be the: “without java” version

it used to be the “with java” version

so this means the new download requires you to have java installed on your computer (unless you specifically click and download the “with java” version)

so instead of running the java that comes with triplea, the default one will run the java on your computer

i did this because including a JRE with an application limits the max memory to 1gb.  If you still want the JRE included, make sure you download the ‘with java’ version.

I always download the “without java” version, as I have the latest JRE installed on my system.

I only wondered because my firewall alerted me that on my first dicing with 1703 java.exe tried to access the internet.
Normally, javaw.exe does that, as I described.

Is it possible to separate the aa gun fire when there are multiple bombing runs on different facilities?

It is awesome!

On a side note, with the added versatility of being able to edit the political situation, I created a free for all global 1940 game, picked one country and went at it.  Quite fun seeing Germany attack Italy on the first turn.  My rules for winning include controlling EVERY territory and having ALL of the tech.  Fastest turn count wins!

I guess the only thing I couldn’t was seperate the UK/India; they were still allies.  :lol:

[Whackamatt]

I forgot I made a few changes like change the French pieces in London to UK and vice versa, and I gave India Sumatra and Java and ANZAC Celebs to begin with.

fyi, a new triplea is out
