GARGANTUA's K.I.S.S. TripleA Instructions

@Gargantua:

Who’s still working on TripleA these days?  I had a couple items I wanted to discuss, and had some significant contributions I can make ($ and artwork).

Veqryn? Redrum?  anyone else?

IMHO the best idea to get in contact would be using the triplea-game forum at

https://forums.triplea-game.org/

The project itself is hosted at GitHub:

https://github.com/triplea-game/

Never mind.

Figured it out.

Hi Kirk

You might try asking at triplea

http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/

Sometimes the solution is that easy…  :roll:

In TripleA just use EDIT-Mode to assign the technologies you want to the nations you want.
You can do that for all nations when it comes to Germany’s very first “Buy Tech tokens”-Phase,
and of course at any time later.

I do not know why I did not realize that before…

Yes, these are two different files.

java.exe is the application that is allowed to use/access the console while javaw.exe is the “console-less” Windows application.
Or in other words java.exe targets the CONSOLE subsystem while javaw.exe targets the WINDOWS subsystem.

TripleA definitely uses javaw.exe to access the web.
So java.exe won’t help you out here.

ok, that is a much better description of the problem

you are probably putting in the wrong xml link

@Veqryn:

game id is only used for tourney games, to identify the game.
you’d have to ask someone who has done it before, on the TripleAWarClub

I found out that the game-ID is used to distinguish between different games on the dice server.
So every mail that returns from the server has the game-id at the beginning of the “Subject”.

@Gargantua:

TripleA is cheat-proof

That’s not entirely accurate.  There is a scenario I can think of in which some shady circumstances can occur - in a particular scenario.

It’s safer to say - Axis and Allies is cheat proof, as long as your dice are done through a server - and you pay attention to the actual game mechanics.

Well I’m mostly comparing it to Battlemap, where it would be easy to add units here or there.  If extra units are discovered, there’s no way to tell if it’s cheating or an unintended mistake.

In my experience, it’s the unintentional mistakes that most often mar Battlemap games.  Consequently, many players spend alot of time checking maps and moves for accuracy.

With TripleA the above scenarios don’t happen, because you’d have to use edit to add in units that shouldn’t be there.  And any edit is clearly visible in the game history.
