Thank you! It’s listed as “map options” on my computer.

Yes, in old TripleA versions it was labelled “Map Options”.

@sovietishcat

Cool. The error occurs when TripleA contacts the forum. Now the task is not to contact the forum with TripleA while the problem persists.

You need “Play PBF” however to use the dice server.
“Local Game” works, too, but only with the ingame dice.

Have fun :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s cool. Have fun :slightly_smiling_face:

@dawgoneit Every installation creates a TripleA shortcut on your desktop. Now those shortcuts look totally identically, so you need to figure out which shortcut is for which version.

So doubleclick on any shortcut and see which version starts. You determine the version on the top left of the starting screen:

start.PNG

Here you see it is Engine Version 2.1.20613.

Now load 2.1 savegames by klicking “Open Saved Games” and selecting the file.

In case you start the 1.9 engine load 1.9-savegames the identical way.

@plasmaboy Sounds good. Usually, when playing against different opponents, you would definitely create a new game thread for every game. When playing consecutive games against the same opponent, sometimes players agree to use the same game thread.
Creating a new thread for every game is surely the “cleanest” solution.

Now enjoy gaming :slightly_smiling_face:

when I hacked it…
I got it to run 600x480 but it wasn’t a real windowed mode per say
it just wasn’t full screen…

the problem that I had with this windowed mode was that the color pallete was all messed up

Sounds like the version you are using is still the “hacked” version that was never part of the sourceforge project.  Therefore, nothing is supported in your version, and nothing will ever be fixed in your version.  The unstable version at triplea.sourceforge.net are at least supported by the tripleA development team, so there may still be bugs with them, but at least any bugs will be fixed in future releases.

I’d recommend running (not walking) to triplea.sourceforge.net and downloading the lastest unstable release 0.9.4.1 (since no stable releases yet have support for PBEM).

Convince your opponent to use the same version - it shouldn’t be hard if they were using the same version you had (that you say doesn’t work any more).
