Triple a forum plying

@ksmckay I recommend that you open a topic over here: https://forums.triplea-game.org/category/42/feature-requests-ideas

I suppose that the developers will notice that quicker there than here.

@Panther Thanks - now I need to get my son to update his account on A&A. He hasn’t been on the site for several years being in college now and his email isn’t working. We can fix that one though.

@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Second your TripleA still uses an outdated Java to be found in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.

If you really want to alter game-mechanics, in other words create a mod, you have to alter the XML-File in the map-folder.

To do this open it with a program, I prefer Notepad++ (free download), and change what you want.

The XML of map PactofSteel2 has almost every game-possibility explained, so is like a modding-guide.
http://triplea.sourceforge.net/mywiki/Forum has lots of threads about modding and people who can help out if you get stuck.

@General:

Ya I would also play 1942 second edition it’s not easy and not more complex like global or nwo a great starter game I think it’s ww2v5 on triple a

Thanks for the advice! :-)

As ghr2 implied, you can never land a plane on a damaged carrier.

(Also, just to clarify, that’s a general G40 game rule, not something specific to tripleA)

Its at the bottom of my 1st post in the house rules 1941 setup thread.

And to all of you guys here helping us that used to play AA 1998 and iron blitz that now own an xp.  I played my first game last night and had a blast.  My wife yelled at me to get off the computer just like the old days when I ran the cd’s….Awesome!

This tripleA system is the greatest!

Again thanks for all the help and support from the AA.org. members.
