@freh said in Submarine-related Issues with TripleA:

@axis-dominion So it seems the problems are in games when one player is using 2.2.20365 or earlier, and another player is using 2.2.20790 or later. If all players are using the most up to date version, the problem doesn’t occur. To me, that’s the solution.

Nope. Ksmckay and I were using the same latest version and ran into it big time.

Can you reproduce that?

I rolled 9/10 AA gun defence hits against a 2004(?) Europe Sealion by hand once.  And I’ve seen plently more on this scale just as crazy  (22 planes at 3 hit nothing)

Have I played hundreds of games of Axis and Allies?  Yes.  But not thousands.  These things do happen.

That said - I do want to know more about MARTI and it’s code…

Yes.  It would just need to be set up as a new XML so that it is selectable as a different mod.

Changes for Global 1940 version 3.0

Added all technology to Global 1940. Allowed paratroopers to be moved in a second combat movement phase. Made bonus for Mech Infantry work correctly. Made Rockets go 4 spaces and not fly over neutrals. Allowed UK_Pacific to share the cost of researching technology. Made British share all technology with UK_Pacific. Allowed Convoy Blockades to roll dice (you can turn this off in game options). Allowed Low Luck for Strategy Bombing and Rockets to be set again. Stopped British air units from dying if UK_Pacific was building a factory under them. Forced Tactical Bombers to only be able to target airfields and harbours. Allowed Submarines to enter any sea zone during non-combat, but end movement if there is an enemy Destroyer present.

(and a TON more fixes that were fixed in the TripleA engine [not the map files])

Clarifications about TripleA 1.6 and TripleA 1.5.2.1, and using both at the same time:

Can you play TripleA 1.5.2.1 savegames on TripleA 1.6?
Savegames are incompatible due to the new features i’ve added to 1.6
Keep 1.5.2.1, and download 1.6, and you can run them both at the same time (use 1.5.2.1 for your 1.5.2.1 savegames, and 1.6 for your 1.6 savegames)
The only time savegames are ever compatible, is if it is the 4th digit that is the only digit that changes.
Example: 1.5.2.1 to 1.5.2.2 would be compatible
while 1.5.2.1 to 1.6 is not compatible

Can someone with TripleA 1.5.2.1 play against someone using TripleA 1.6?
No, you must both be using the same version.  
But don’t worry, you can have BOTH versions on your computer.  
When you want to continue your ongoing game that you started with 1.5.2.1, then use 1.5.2.1.
When you want to start a new game with someone who also has 1.6, then use 1.6

If I download Global version 3.0, will I not be able to continue or start games using TripleA 1.5.2.1?
No.
Global version 3.0 contains both 3.0 and 2.9, that way you can use 3.0 with TripleA 1.6, and use 2.9 with TripleA 1.5.2.1
The 2.9 version is named “World War II Global 1940 Alpha”
The 3.0 version is named “World War II Global 1940 Alpha Future”
You will see both of them in your list when you are using TripleA 1.6,
And you will only see the 2.9 version in your list when you are using TripleA 1.5.2.1

Manchuria is Chinese, so it doesn’t count for the bonus.

@Veqryn:

game id is only used for tourney games, to identify the game.
you’d have to ask someone who has done it before, on the TripleAWarClub

I found out that the game-ID is used to distinguish between different games on the dice server.
So every mail that returns from the server has the game-id at the beginning of the “Subject”.

The latest and greatest TripleA release (0.9.3) is now available on SourceForge.net. 
Download it here:  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=44492&package_id=119711
This is considered an unstable release, but it is also a release candidate as we have already found/fixed many bugs in the last unstable release.
So… we need AxisAndAllies.org PBF beta testers!
This release contains many fixes and enhancements, including all the PBEM/PBF enhancements that I made available on A&A.org last year such as Turn Summary Posting, and Edit Mode.  Since these are now in the main TripleA stream, they will be maintained from here-on-in provided proper bug reports are filed.
If you find a bug, or something you think might be a bug, please post a bug report here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=44492&atid=439737
Enjoy!
