G40 League House Rule project

[Soulblighter]

@Gamerman01:

I’m not sure.  There’s probably a way.

One can always ask :P. You probably know who is responsible for Triple A to begin with. :D.

Thanks, I need to look through all these (scanned a few just now) and consider them when testing/playing the house ruled game (still months ahead)

I like the idea of no Japan/Russian war until Russia is at war in Europe, but am hesitant to add too many new rules
Do NOT like the idea of USA having a nearly untouchable +30, etc.
Will cherry pick these ideas (from YG, I believe.  Anyway.)

[gamerman01]

This project WILL be completed, even if it does take a while.  The more I play G40, the more I think it is begging for fixes.
I may even go all in.  That is, stop playing 2nd edition and exclusively play the house ruled game.  Stay tuned.

I’ve already got a rating category set for it too, for anyone who is interested…. :)

[gamerman01]

Sweet.

First, I am concentrating on the playoffs, and it is my busy season with work.  So stay tuned, everyone.

@Yoshi:

Not sure at all of what I’m saying, but in the xml file that you can find in the “games” directory of the map, you have :

        <playerlist></playerlist> 

I guess changing the order there might help ?

That’s where you change the turn order. It won’t effect anything other then who goes when. Pretty easy adjustment.

[gamerman01]

So is there someone here who knows how to change turn order in Triple A?  I’m a little confused.

Man, would that be awesome.

[barney]

what is the turn order?

[barney]

Panther is correct. You need to change more then just the turn order. I remember doing it in alpha 3 so it shouldn’t be too hard. I’ll see what I can do.

[gamerman01]

Awesome.  Let me know

[barney]

Unfortunately my earlier confidence was misplaced. This is proving more difficult than the earlier versions.

What turn order are you after?

[barney]

ok got it figured out

go to player list    Line 1222

change turn order

change alliances  ( make sure to change alliances in sequence with turn order.  Example if germany and russia change place in turn order swap their places in alliances.)

go to bidding phase  Line 1323  adjust accordingly

game sequence is right after bid phase  adjust accordingly

At the beginning is the name World War II Global 1940 2nd Edition, add something simple to the end to change the name. You will have to rename the xml as well before you put it back in the     
        Global games folder. Make sure to use the underscores and caps. This will show up in your map folder under the new name.

The objective panel will not show up unless you add the new name to the objectives properties.

If you want I’ll do the changes. I couldn’t find what turn order you were talking about though. If you have trouble let me know

:)P

Oh, this is great - but I’m not sure where exactly I need to save the .xml file to.  Once I can open the file as you have wonderfully updated it, I will be able to fine-tune changes better.  I have learned more about the game since last spring, too.

You spam the thread all you want.  We need you.

[barney]

cool :)

open triplea folder

open maps folder ( if you don’t see one there open your triplea 1804 folder. There will be one in there. Use the first maps folder if you can.)

open world war II global zip

open the games folder (you will find the xmls here)

put the new xml in the games folder ( I have named it Gamer1 and it will show up in your Choose maps area when you start up triplea. It will be with all the other globals)

Let me know if you have any trouble. Almost got the NO’s done.

:)P
