Triple A G40 - Comprehensive list of currently unresolved issues

@Panther
Yikes! Ok, thanks, again. Making sure everyone updates to the latest version, before starting a new game, is, inevitably, mid-game, for their other games, which would then mess up those games. Installing and running different Triple A versions in different directories sounds like a nightmare to this tech challenged fella. It doesn’t sound like I have a choice, though. Dammit!

@Slip-Capone This is not likely to happen anytime soon. The game mechanics of 1914 are too different so the game engine would need a lot of new code. It is way more than simply adding a new map.

There has been a discussion on the old, deprecated developer forum:
http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/World-War-1-year-1914-td7583022.html
as well as on the new forum:
https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/688/has-anyone-tried-to-make-world-war-i-larry-harris-game

So forums.triplea-game.org would be the place to add something to the discussion.

Try 1.9.0.0.3393.

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.

Ignore that. Occurred to me that placing units is the same for 40 and 42.2 and found this in the 40 list:

Placing units -
a)  Triple A allows you to hold back units that you purchased without placing them.  Per the rule book, you are to be refunded your money. (is in Triple A notes)

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.

I had that same problem.
I solved it by un-installing Triple A and then I installed the newest version of Triple A with the link that included JAVA.
Everything worked great then. I hope this helps you!
