New TripleA scenario: Fed Space

@Gargantua Right. The issues are already addressed:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/35803/battle-calculator-not-working
and
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/35846/submarine-related-issues-with-triplea

and have been analyzed by the developers here:

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/7848

As far as I have understood the problems occur when not all players are on the most current stable version. Once a game is either started with an older release or a savegame started with the current version is opened with an older version the games are somehow corrupted.

This is why I have added the following note to some of the stickies here:

Note:
Problems in games started in the past cannot be resolved by updating the TripleA client, as updating the client does not change the game information stored in savegame files. In other words: As long as nobody starts new games with up-to-date clients and maps, the problems, saved in savegame-files, will be carried over and continue.

Also: To avoid issues it is always recommended that all players use the latest stable version to beginn new games. So when playing together, reassure yourself that everyone is up-to date.

I created an 8v8 monster map that is a tournament map, not historical at all, not even planet earth actually.  I have tested it quite a bit, hopefully no connection errors, but it is a very large map.  The game play is fairly typical of classic axis and allies with several adds and tweaks.  It is likely to play this scenario to decide who is the winner might take several weeks.  I have hosted games through the triplea software and it works fine.  I would prefer to play in the evenings, central time zone, USA, and use some kind of voice chat like Raidcall, mumble or teamspeak,  teamspeaks works great and is totally free, so I use that, thanks, signed an old school player since 1987!!

It’s been some time since this question has been asked, but I just want to mention another workaround for people interested in this topic.

With “Chrome Remote Desktop” users can remotly access another computer through a Chromebook.

So if you keep for example a Windows computer with Java and TripleA running at home
you will be able to access it and play TripleA using your Chromebook when travelling.

Will have a look.

FYI: please use the official sourceforge bug tracker for all future bugs.

@Subotai:

Not NASA, not NSA, not Google or Apple or anyone, can make an AI that is close to being as good as decent human players, not even with computers that costs billions of dollars.

Would you care to stake $10,000 US on that?

AND YOUR SOUL?

I’m far from being a “rich man” even if I live in one of the richest countries in the world, so I can only afford $1000 (atm), but I’m willing to bet that amount, yes. If I had more money I would be willing to bet all of what I actually have.

One of the participants on the numerous AI threads on the TripleA developers page said that the A&A maps is even more (mathematically) complex than the game GO. So I would take my chance on at least $1000, or the maximum of what I could afford.
The premise is a fair bid, as regarded by humans, and the A&A maps Classic, AA42, AA50, Revised, or G40 when its rules are coded for Triplea.

About my SOUL, I’m an agnostic, so why should I not bet my soul??  :-D :-P

I may something crazy here, but playing and finishing a 12 hour game is something I actually only enjoy off-line… Nothing beats an all-nighter. Sure the wives don’t like it, but they’ll come to terms with it, you’ll see

Nevertheless I agree on all remarks that shutting tripleA down is poor costumer management, as well as unnecessary from a sales point of view. (I even think that most TripleA-players not only have avg 3,5 AA boards at home, they’ll probably also have the hasbro cd-rom, which was a perversion of AA in my humble opinion - enough reason to assume an implied license I say)

juh!
:-D

@SgtBlitz:

WHAT. THE. F*CK.  Can we still play networked games on this thing with the latest client?  Cause I don’t think they can shut down that.

Seriously?  HASBRO???  They made ONE super shtty AA CD-ROM game like 10 years ago and are shutting down ALL of TripleA because of it?  I cry bullsht.  AA50 is Avalon Games anyway, is the unstable AA50 client gonna be able to work???

There’s like maybe 50 people online on TripleA at any given time, anyways!  Holy sh*t!  Like these people would be playing a game at home!  The ONLY way you’re going to be playing (and finishing!) a 12 hour Axis and Allies game is ONLINE!

Where’s a link to a petition or something?  This is ridiculous, as there are MANY of the games available on the TripleA client that Hasbro has NO rights too!  I could see them trying to get Classic or Revised taken out but the whole client is just FOOLISH.

Hell, how am I gonna participate in the ladder now, wanted to play matches over TripleA…

Edit:  BTW, may I add I have CLASSIC, REVISED, AND AA50 SITTING IN MY CLOSET AT HOME.  GATHERING DUST.  TRIPLEA WAS THE EASIEST WAY TO FIND OPPONENTS AND GAMES.  THANKS A LOT HASBRO.  NEVER BUYING ONE OF YOUR PRODUCTS AGAIN.

thx :D

I recently created new professional looking icons to replace the meadorker icon that comes with TripleA. Hopefully I can lobby the TripleA team to replace their current icon. I hope you all enjoy it.

Below is a link showing a preview of what the icon looks like

You can download the actual icon files in various sizes here

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING CURRENT TRIPLEA ICON:
    Download the ziped icon files. Copy the entire contents of the zipped folder into a new nonzipped folder that you will perminately save on your computer. (if you dont do this you wont be able to use the icons)
    If you have windows you can replace your current icon by right clicking on the triplea icon selecting “properties” under the “Shortcut” tab select “change Icon” then find the icon file you downloaded.   I would recomend selecting the 256x256 icon if you have vista. If you dont have vista you may need to select a smaller resolution.
