Map error in WW2v5 1942 2nd ed.

@mrcunego
Uhh…I’m afraid you will need admin right in order to install. Are you successful installing other programs?

@farmboy

E.g. a transport won’t load, or naval units won’t go into a zone they normally can etc… I initially thought it was because of a game that had gone too long but I’m also seeing it in a game that is only in its second round now.

This might be caused by an outdated TripleA-version where errors like this one sometimes occurred.
Or your opponent and you maybe don’t play using an identical TripleA-version.

I can only guess due to a lack of details.

connection reset by peer: socket write error

I recommend to use the “Report” feature when the error message pops up. Or maybe address this directly to the developers:

@Navalland OK, so that is your background layer.

In brief:
On other layers apply an image of a greyscale streetmap to the territory outlines and create some cloud-like effect on the seazone-layer. The territory layer should have a high level of transparency, you need to experiment here. When you are ready merge the territory layer and the seazone layer to one png-file, preserving transparency there. This will be your relief-image. Of course you can apply whatever visual effect you want there.

I found this tutorial for creating “clouds”:

Maybe something similar exists for GIMP, too.

For further details please try to reach out to active map-makers. I can only give you this quite superficial information.

@Tizkit
You are welcome and thank you for sharing your experience.

Now enjoy gaming :slightly_smiling_face:

@swordfish:

For one, I could not seem to find any of the map files (such as ‘basetiles’, ‘relieftiles’, ‘games’, etc.) that are a part of the default games (which I believe there are four of, including Big World 1942) that come with the TripleA client.

When downloading maps, they are saved in the same location as the savegames (the user folder) rather than in the application directory.  For instance, on my Win system, they are in C:\Users\username\triplea\maps.
