TripleA: Where to dl, How to Download Maps, Pictures of games TripleA supports

@Zhukov44:

@murdoc:

Several Triple A questions:

• Which version is Spring 1942?  OP says WWIIv2 Revised = Spring 1942, somebody else says WWIIv4

Spring 42=v4
Revised=v2

Revised will appear with the name of Revised when you are choosing the scenario on TripleA. The V2 designation only appears on the description of the game.

• I can’t figure out how to perform bombardments on ICs

If you mean strategic bombings just move the bomber to the territory where the IC is located. The game will then ask you if you want to attack or bomb the territory.

Ah!  Much appreciated.

However, WWIIv4 - has several map differences from the 1942 map.  Ie. Kenya as opposed to Rhodesia in Africa with different maps lines.

Anyway, thanks a lot.

@Veqryn:

and here are some pics:
most of these pictures have been reduced in size to be a quarter to a fifth of their original size.

WW2v2 (spring 1942)

WW2v2 (revised)

Veqryn, you probably want to edit your second post so that the title for the first map reads WW2v4 (spring 1942) to avoid confusion, as can be seen from the couple questions confusing spring 42 with revised.

Well, I can’t seem to host a game.  Before I am accused of not putting effort first.  Yes, I did port Forwarding 3300 even 3300-3310.  Ipconfig lets me know what the local IP of machine is.  My external IP of the router is also known, matches the IP TripleA can’t connect to.

I tried a DMZ on my locale IP, with and without combinations of port forwarding.  I have downloaded a few port scanners, not impressed with the results.  Consulted my windows firewall, added port forwarding there.  Short of bypassing my router physically I am open to suggestions.  I guess a comp sci degree and 30 years of writing code isn’t much help here.

Odd.  On my router/modem, I have to add an exception + port for TripleA.  I had trouble hosting when the new stable came out; eventually I realized I hadn’t added an exception for Windows Firewall.

But it seems like you’ve considered these variables so I don’t know how to help you–you could try pming Veqyrn and see if he can help troubleshoot it for you.  Also feel free to ask people on the lobby for suggestions–some of them may have had the same problem.

Hey Zhukov44, I hadn’t noticed there was a reply to this thread until this morning.  Thanks everyone for the input.

I was running a separate modem and non-modem router.  I was assured over and over again by the internet tech that the modem was dumb and just passed everything through to the router for it to port forward…or not.  So a quick google of my modem make showed me it does in fact have some intelligence.    I had to ‘log into’ the modem via putting an IP in a webbrowser, forget what IP, 192.168.x.x ish.  Once I could adjust the modem settings I set it to ‘bridge’ mode which meant the modem no longer supplied my password or logged in but did make it perform as a ‘dumb’ modem in that it didn’t process or filter anything.  The router then had to be set up with my password and user name to log into the ISP through the modem and it then accomplished the port forwarding.  So I can host just fine now…Now if only I could put my life on hold to have the time to actually play!

Any ideas if AAG40 will be on TripleA?

Thanks

they are working on it  the map is done waiting on the final rules I think  whenever that will be

It’d be nice.

There is no way to reduce the size of the map so you could, I don’t know, actually see an entire theater of battle or maybe even 75-100% of the board at once?

you can change the size of the map buy I don’t think you could tell what the pieces are  if you went worldwide                                                              By theatre you might be able to

hi jenn,

you can zoom out the map, and in fact all maps can be zoomed out.  its in the view options i think, under zoom, and you can set it to so that you can see the entire map, or to something more reasonable like 50% or 25% zoomed out so you can see just a little more

also, global’s map is almost done
but the rules it works by are still under development. there is tons of new stuff, much more than any previous release, that has to be coded, and it will take a while still

Can you actually make a strategic decision based on the zoomed out map, or are the pieces hidden or on top of each other so you can’t really decide what’s going on where?

Ah, very nice.  I always thought I was stuck with that puny little window that you could do nothing with really. (Like MapView, may it forever rest in pieces!)

Hi,

Hi Amon Sûl,

you need to register you email @ h ttp://dice.tripleawarclub.org to be able to use the dice-server.

I can imagine, that could be the problem.

Foe some reason, I cannot load a saved game.  I go to the “load saved games” tab and see the game I’ve saved and click “open” but when i go to play it, the “play” tab won’t activate.
Any ideas??? and thanks.
