Plane movements from Airbase with in Triple A Global 1940

@SuperbattleshipYamato The TripleA mod does not fully implement the rules and the AI has problems (it doesn’t retreat out of losing battles during its turn). It is still fun to play.

Update to Version 3.53

Blends on makes the units easier to see in certain areas such as Italy and ANZAC

@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.

Indeed, skins are a collection of modified text- or image files bundled into another zip-file that replace the original look when applied. Skins are useful when you don’t want to touch the original map-files and/or maybe want to offer a variety of changes to the public.

But you don’t need to apply a complete skin when you want to change the look of your map.

For example in the Global 40 map.properties file the territory colors of the map are defined like this:

color.Neutral=d8ba7c color.Neutral_True=b88a6c color.Neutral_Axis=6A5B3D color.Neutral_Allies=d8ba7c color.Italians=58360E color.British=916400 color.UK_Europe=916400 color.UK_Pacific=8E6600 color.French=156CC4 color.Impassable=d8ba7c color.Americans=5a5a00 color.Russians=af2828 color.Germans=5a5a5a color.Japanese=DCB53F color.Chinese=713778 color.Canada=bf0010 color.ANZAC=4d7f7f color.Dutch=ff6d00 color.Mongolians=d8ba7c

Now adjust the (hex RGB) color code to your needs. Save the file and play…

@wittmann:

Guys, the Blitzing move AAA has correct. You cannot Blitz through a territory with an IC, AB or NB (or any unit, including an AA). Southern France cannot be blitzed through on the way to Italy, as it has two of these units in it.

Thanks Wittman. I stand erected. :)

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.

@oly:

If they came up with a Global 1940 for the computer my wife would probably end up divorcing me or destroying the computer

Lol mine too

Thank You all :)
