PBF Error Message

@mrcunego
Uhh…I’m afraid you will need admin right in order to install. Are you successful installing other programs?

@dawgoneit said in I'm getting an error when I try to post:

its happening in the 2.6+14615 version.
it says

software caused connection abort: socket write error

I commented on this issue here:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/40775/socket-error/2

Maybe try the current pre-release from
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases

to see if it still happens with newer versions.

Good luck :-)

@djensen Thank you!

@Tizkit
You are welcome and thank you for sharing your experience.

Now enjoy gaming :slightly_smiling_face:

@plasmaboy It all depends on where you and your opponent play your game.

When you want to play on triplea-game .org you select that in the PBF settings and you need your username cheesewarrior. When you want toplay on axisandallies .org you need to select that one in the PBF settings and you need your username plasmaboy.

The TripleA software just supports both forums. You and your opponent decide which one to use.
axisandallies .org and triplea-game .org are different websites.

You can play different games on different forums. But once you decided for either site for a game you continue that game there. Also not everyone has an account on both of the forums.

So in case you have ongoing games in both forums be sure that the PBF settings are correct when loading a savegame. That means load the savegame, klick on “Start PBEM (Play-By-Email/Forum) Game” (see the second screenshot above). This will open the PBF settings (see first screenshot). Check if the settings are correct - and adjust them if necessary.

And by the way: You don’t need to be logged in to any forum before starting the TripleA software. Actually what the software does is

login to the specific forum you have chosen in the PBF settings with your respective forum account post the move

All of this is determined by the details you enter in the PBF settings.

Just to echo what Panther said, all I did was update my JDK installation.

Triple A then picked up and used the latest JDK.

Don’t forget you can always edit in and out units manually to the game using the “Edit Mode”. This way you can ‘correct’ any errors that might occur to you.

I have Pacific 1940 2nd ed. game that I bought in May '13 or thereabouts. Convoy rules are on pp. 22-23. They read like the Europe/L.Harris rules that Gargantua has cited: units roll dice, 2 for a/c and subs, and 1 for others. Rolls of “3” or less are tallied, etc. Exactly like my Europe '40 2nd ed. rulebook in game I purchased the same day.

The Pac. '40 2nd ed. rulebook in A&A.org / Resources section is like the one that came with my game.

I did look at Avalon Hill site for Pac. '40 2nd ed. rulebook and it reads the way that Gargantua is citing for Pacific rules, units do an amount of convoy ipc damage without rolling dice. Looked again at cover of that book, however, and it does not indicate “2nd Edition”. Seems like a bad link at AH site. Rulebook link on Pacific '40 2nd ed. page opens 1st ed. book?

Also confirmed that my Pacific rulebook on pg. 10 says that China is not subject to convoy disruption, as P@nther previously noted.
