Java update problem

@enigma said in Problems starting up games:

@panther Thank You for taking You time to answer. Tough decision 🤔. Since the problem has been present since january one might hope, that a new fixed version will be ready soon.
Still strange though, that I am not able to set up games at all, but are able to play games set up by opponents. Off course with the “tripleA not able to post to forum issue”.

I agree this is strange. This question remains open, indeed.

There we have the culprit:

TripleA needs Java 8, as there are compatibility issues with Java 9 and Java 10.

Haven’t you installed Java 8 Update 171?

Now you have got options as follows:

Please report back.  :-)

@barney:

As Panther says, he needs a saved game to diagnose what happened.

Indeed, the scenarios mentioned have been working flawlessly for years and in countless games.
The savegame helps identifying what happened in the specific game.

Thanks P@nther

Thanks

In fact it was only one border line to change.
First I changed it in the bastile map, adding a new line some pixels to the right of the old line in pure black and then erazing the old line.
Then I reconstructed the relief-art. In paint.net I added a new layer to the base map pasting the relief art to it. Then I copy-pasted the new border line to the relief art. From the relief art I removed the old border line using the clone-stamp.

Then I ran through the Map Builder tools such as polygon grabber etc. to implement the changes to the relevant txt-files.

Just take a look at the files to see the results.

Thanks Veqryn, I’ll keep that in mind.

Actually, I made some code contributions to TripleA back in the old days.  Basically responded to a post like this and fixed the map rendering so it would work on Macs.  Long time ago though…

Cheers,
