Transcript:

Hi, this is SuperbattleshipYamato. And I’m here to demonstrate that my problems with TripleA and the map-specifically, and only, the map “World War I 1914 Improved” are real. As you can see here, this is my TripleA game engine 2.7.15133, I think this is the latest pre-release version?

And as you can see here, this is the thread I’ve been working, um, we’ve been working on, you know. And this is barnee’s test file right here.

So I download it. I go to “Saved Game”, “Downloads”, as you can see here, this is the only thing I downloaded today, so I’m 100%, definitely clicking this exact file, the one barnee just sent me. So I press that, “open”, as you can see here, the Savegame is loaded, you know, same name, but then when I press “play”, it just doesn’t work. You know, that error message.

I don’t know why this is, it could be because I’m using Mac, um, I don’t know wha-what computers you guys use. I mean, I-this has never been a problem for me for playing with other people who used Windows before. But I have-um-I haven’t used-I haven’t played with this exact map in the past. This is my first time-this is my first time playing with someone else using this exact map. So, th-so this is probably-this could be just an issue that’s specific to this map when playing with people who don’t use Mac.

I don’t know, because when playing with regular 1914 Improved it definitely works-it definitely works. I’m-I’m-I’m sorry if I ever sounded like I was lying to you, or if I was trying to stir up trouble or I sounded insincere, I never meant any of that. That was never my intention. I never wanted to decieve or mislead anyone in anyway. And I hope this demonstration makes this clear.

Thank you.

It works again!

@FranceNeedsMorePower I doubt that it will ever be done. There are a number of mods that implement Axis & Allies: D-Day some form but no one ever made the engine mods needed to have all the rules.

@Panther 2.5.22294

But now I see that there are dozens of 2.7 releases on Github.

Just to bring it to attention:

In AA50 - when using Heavy Bombers for SBR - TripleA adds +1 to the best result of the two rolls, when it should only be
“You roll two dice for each bomber and select the best result when you attack or make a strategic bombing raid.”

I will try to report that on tripleadev, too.

(In Global 1940 this extra +1 is not added, although in both games “LHTR Heavy Bombers” is marked in the Game Options.)

Here, that’s more like what I was envisioning. (Obviously I’d start out with a German flag for the Axis VC and an American flag for the Allied VC counters.)

@Cmdr:

Stable means it does not crash
Unstable means it freezes and/or crashes during normal operation.

Well then why would anyone use the unstable version??

Unstable versions have new features added, bugs fixed, etc. They’re a way to test those features before a new stable is released including them.

Thanks!
