@barnee I am not able to recreate the bug anymore, I suppose it’s only the first time I loaded, the result above was done by your method, with the renamed folder instead of the zip file.
TripleA: Where to dl, How to Download Maps, Pictures of games TripleA supports
-
@Cmdr:
But can I change the default location to find and save game files? I don’t WANT them in some obscure directory tree out on my C: drive somewhere. :P
The good thing about the obscure save file location is that whenever you download a new version of triplea, you don’t have to download all the maps again, and the save files are in the same place. A lot of big name games do this nowadays - save files in ‘my docs’ and such.
But I understand your frustration.
-
Oh, I leave all the map directories and stuff in the default location on an auxiliary drive, I just want my map files somewhere convenient. Of course, it’s not like battlemap where you can just double click the map and get it to open, you have to open and load the map which is quite a bit more annoying to me. lol. Still, I keep a tripleA directory on my desktop for just the maps…would rather map that for the program to use.
-
Fair enough. I just made shortcuts to the applicable folders on my desktop for the triplea folder, maps folder, and save games folder.
-
ahem,
it is not an “obscure” location, the location is in your USER directory
ie, from your user directory you can see the following: my documents, my pictures, my whatever, workspace, etc, and triplea
secondly, you CAN actually set things up so that double clicking on a savegame or a map xml will open it directly into triplea
to do that, you just have to change the “default program to open this file” setting, which you can usually do by right clicking on the file
and/or you can make a series of custom shortcut that auto-load different maps or w/e, just use the command “triplea.game=<gamelocationhere>” command line argument inside the shortcut</gamelocationhere>
-
Babe, hate to break it to you, but my USER directory is an obscure directory. I don’t use it, yes I know it’s convenient, but I don’t use it! I have a directory called “New Desktop” and I basically recreate the whole USER directory in there.
And I never bothered to re-associate the files to tripleA, been having bad luck with that in other games where it just opens the game and you still have to load the file manually. Will do it later and see if it helps at all.

Does anyone know what’s going on with sourceforge ? Are they just doing maintenance ? Haven’t been able to find anything on it. This is the 2nd day it’s been down

No clue, noticed the same thing

They informed about maintenance some days ago.

looks like it will be down for a while yet. Here’s a link if anyone’s interested:

here’s the latest triplea:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/f1w98z
some of the non wwII games and older tripleas were cut out to enable to upload. Takes about 45 min to dl. It won’t take that long when sourceforge is back up.
-
Right now TripleA on Sourceforge is downloadable without issues :-)
-
Guess I should have checked the link first : ) I always just go to the forum first
-
THX Veqryn for all the informations and where to download extra maps :)
-
TripleA has a new Website.
Get information and download new releases from there. :-)

Yeah it would be good to update or remove this post now. It would be good to review all the stickied posts in the software subforum.
