Triple a forum plying

@Panther thank you

@Karl7 The current pre-release should work, now.

@Ichabod So I can identify two different issues. First of all, your PBF username is not your email-address that you have entered but simply “Ichabod”. Enter Ichabod as Login and the forum password into the settings.

Second your TripleA still uses an outdated Java to be found in
c\program files\i4j_jres\1.8.0_66

That is an incompatible Java version that TripleA came with years ago that is still used despite you might have installed the latest Java, too.
So you need to manually delete this i4j_jres folder including its subfolders.

So once you have deleted this, you should try again, using the forum username and forum password.
In case it still does not work, please reinstall the latest Java 8 to be sure TripleA uses this new version.

After all these actions you should be fine using the dice server and posting your turns with TripleA 1.9.0.0.13066 on the new forum.

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

… and ask back in case you need further assistance.

@majikforce:

A few more questions:

1: Am I able to setup email notifications to all the players when a turn is posted and how?  Or do people need to periodically check the forum thread?

2: Is there a feature in the game that tells you what units are in each territory, more specifically seazones?  I am having trouble distinguishing between the ships.  Mostly cruisers and battleships.  Or is there a cheat sheet of the unit pictures?

3: What prevents someone from rolling out combat not liking the results so they reload the game and run the rolls again?  I’m not worried about my group but just wondered when playing strangers.  Most people on the forums are really great and really helpful but you do get the occasional d-bag.

1. If you play by forum the players check the forum. But every player receives the mails from the dice server. This of course is an indication that something has happened. Only if you play by Mail the players recieve the turns by mail and are informed this way.

2. If you start TripleA and have the map on the screen you will see some information on the right side. Just klick on “Territory” and use the mouse to hover over the territory you want to know more about. The information and units are presented on the right side of the screen then. Being there, hover the mouse over the unit then. You will see all information concerning that unit including the name. I recommend to take a screen shot from the purchase-units screen, though. With the help of this image you can easily distinguish between the units at any time.

3. This is why you register your emails with the dice server. You will get emails with the rolls then. This way you can be sure that no one cheated.
And: TripleA has a history mode (Menu Game-Show History). Everything that happened is presented to you and can be reproduced - and compared when using the results from the dice server.

(Leave history mode via Menu Game-Show current game)

HTH  :-)

Online, you enter into a lobby where people host games. There you can join games to play… or watch if it has already started. These games are live.

Play By Email… well, of course you’ll need the emails of others. I think everyone has to register to the dice server, TripleA should tell how to do it. But you get spammed a lot from the results of the game. So I’d recommend using a new email just for this if you decide to play it by Email.
Games by Forum or Email aren’t live of course. You get the results uploaded and then when it’s your turn, when you’re done, you post/send your results. TripleA conveniently does most of the work itself for that, I think.

And if you got a buddy right by ya, you could just play a local game.

Thank you djensen…I hope you had a good Christmas!
Have a great New Year!

I sure hope so I have problems with the Battle map and being unable to unzip or open certain files and tripple A i can download and play and I would love to join the on line group in games and see what there is to learn
