@VictoryFirst I came up with a new idea for the overflow boxes. Instead of having them TTy specific, I made them owned by Changer. That way, everybody from any TTy can use them if wanted.

Right now I have the Changer icon just for testing purposes and I didn’t rename the Box either. Here’s a look. As you can see, the Changer “Rock On Dude” is in W UKR.

Go to Overflow Box and grab those guys in CM with edit. And they attack Bessarabia with there Buddies :)

So when you want to use them, send your overflow guys to the overflow box and edit in Changers Overflow unit to the TTy. Now one can see that that TTy has overflow.

When attacking you can move with edit. On Defense you’d have to place manually.

Anyway, when you get a chance, we need a couple names, Was thinking “Overflow” and “Overflow2” and a couple Tokens.

maybe you could just do something like

Over
Flow

and then use a different color for the 2nd one ? Maybe red and black ? Idk, just some thoughts.

I think this will work better instead of being limited, as well as not forcing one to use them :)

@barnee

lol

I think we’ll leave the last box empty for now until we play a game and see how they work. Most likely another overflow or a couple LMs. Maybe a decoration.

@Black_Elk try the upload chat thingy :)

@black_elk oh she’s not in red anymore :)

edit
yea that’ll work Sweet ! :muscle:

@black_elk ha ha ha !!! Love it ! It’s the Aliens theme when 7 of 9 gets stuck in the halo deck by the prey dudes lol

@black_elk You think he differentiates enough from Inf ? Might just need an adjustment period. There stances are different

@Black_Elk here they are lol Gonna try a shade not so dark too, but think you can tell em apart pretty easily :)

@Black_Elk think we’ll roll with this one. I think he’s a lot darker. i can’t remember lol

@black_elk ye this will work nicely. Can tell em apart pretty easily, even if u haven’t played before I’d think. If not, learning the difference will be part of the fun :grinning:

@black_elk F yea on the Tanks. Well done.

The last 4 look Really Good.

Tuned the Flow Boxes a bit.

@VictoryFirst oh yea, while dickin with Boxes, I found that you can move in Edit during CM and NCM, any Unit. Just has to be a legal move.

Can’t move Germans to russia if not at war for example.

I’ll update Notes and the Notification as well.

Anyway, gonna dick with this some more before i do an update. :)

Also, You can have a “Decoration” which is a name, and a Unit, have the same name.

The “Misc” Folder has the “Decoration Image” and “units” folder has the “Units” name. Notice the Blue LM.

I would suggest against this, but the xml is already dialed in for them, so, f it lol

Anyway, just a heads up for a triplea map thingy :)

Update to Version 1.84 Uploaded on 9-15-2023

Has same Map Version, 1.84, as previous update. Notification at Game Start will differentiate between the two.

The reason this is, is because Map Version must be changed in the XML which will then make it incompatible with current/saved games.

Next update will have a different version number.

Update has a temporary fix for 98 SZ not connecting to syria.
