Tech Units Not Changing in Global 40

@lennardf glad i could help :)

@Grintch All the related graphics are inside the “assets” folder of your TripleA installation.
Additionally there are or may be graphics inside the map.zip-files of the map you are interested in.
In case there aren’t any graphics in the map.zip-files, those in the assets folder of TripleA are used.

So you usually would change the unit-design in the map folder or add your own units there.
Those files are png-files, so you can customize them with any image manipulation software.

For deeper information I would recommend that you open a thread here:

There are active map makers who might help you.

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

@BobbaRossa Ok. In that case, I’m about 95% sure that the bug you hit has already been fixed in 1.9.0.0.13066 but unfortunately if you started your game with an earlier version of TripleA the bug is part of the save game data so upgrading to the new version doesn’t resolve it (essentially the engine thinks the fighters are still on an allied carrier during an attack so it ignores them for battles).

To fix your current save game, you just need to edit out any air units which aren’t fighting properly in battles and add new ones in their place. If you edit remove/add all fighters on the map then you can ensure it shouldn’t occur again.

If you see this same issue in a new game started with 1.9.0.0.13066 then let please report it again and I’ll look further into it.

Sometimes the solution is that easy…  :roll:

In TripleA just use EDIT-Mode to assign the technologies you want to the nations you want.
You can do that for all nations when it comes to Germany’s very first “Buy Tech tokens”-Phase,
and of course at any time later.

I do not know why I did not realize that before…

:-)

For sure.  Thanks Veqryn

Global 1940 2nd Edition, version 3.7 is released

download it now!

changes from 3.6 to 3.7:

1. fixed japanese national objective so that if germany/italy takes india and/or the other power centers in asia, that japan gets her money

2. allowed rockets to gang up on infrastructure

3. Added some things to the game notes about what is NOT covered by the engine (and therefore, what you need to manually keep in mind):

Rules the engine does not do, but you must follow:

Do not allow blitzing or movement through Friendly Neutrals. Air units may not land in or move through Friendly Neutrals, including the same turn they are captured. Friendly Neutrals can not be ‘captured’ with an AA Gun, only by land units with an attack power. Air units may not move through Unfriendly Neutrals unless they are attacking them. Air units may not move through a Neutral territory IF that neutral territory had been attacked on some previous turn by some power (because technically that neutral stops being neutral at that point, and joins the other side). If UK Pacific captures Japan, the money goes to UK Pacific, even if UK Pacific’s capital is occupied. Do not allow USA movement to end in any Sea Zone that touches a Japanese owned territory (Sea Zones 6, 17, 19, 20, 22, 32, 33, 34, 36, and 37). You must place all units you purchased if you are able to, or as many as you can. Any units not placed get refunded to you (triplea instead carries them over to the next turn). The victory conditions must be held for a full continuous round after they are achieved (so for example if Italy takes Egypt as the 8th European VC, then the Axis must hold 8 VCs continuously until Italy’s next turn).

Lastly, I wish to introduce 2 things that everyone may not know already exist within the TripleA engine:

1. Edit Move Units
To “Edit Move”, you must first be in some movement phase.  
Then turn on Edit Mode.
On the right side you see some tabs: “Action” tab, and “Edit” tab, and other tabs.
When you turn on edit mode, you switch automatically to the ‘edit tab’.  However you can still perform ‘actions’ during edit mode, and edit mode changes those actions to reflect that you are in edit mode.
So now click on the “Action” tab, and then move the units just like you would normally.
Because you are in edit mode, the movement validation is turned off, so this allows you to basically move units where-ever you want, including moving enemy units, or even making an enemy attack, or loading transports, etc.

2. Game Comments (aka: a way to tell what fighter is on what carrier, among other things)
Click “View” menu, then select “Show Comment Log”
From there, you can type out and add comments to the game.  The comments will go into the History Panel, and be permanently added to the game save.
Things you could possibly use this for: telling your opponent which fighter is on which carrier, when you have a mixed-nation fleet.
