It’s the very first point in the “Game” menu.

@Slip-Capone No, it is https://dice.marti.triplea-game.org/

@panther yea so jet power, super subs etc … don’t change to their new unit image on the map. They do in purchase .

I just tried it again today when fixing this git issue.

Now I understand, thank you. I will not have access to my computers until next week. I’ll check what happens on my side, then.

@sovietishcat

Unfortunately this is nothing you or I can do about. Sounds like when saving the game some information got lost or at least confused. I recommend that you hit “Report to TripleA” once the error occurs and see if there is already a related issue at Github. If not an issue will be created. You could add some information and add the savegame there, then.

Thank you for reporting.

Now for your game, you can try to continue the game from an earlier point of history. I don’t have access to TripleA right now. But when you load your game and go back in game history for example to the end of the turn of the prior power, I seem to recall that you should be able to redo the turn of the current power. There should be something like “…continue from here”. Just try that out. I might give more precise details next week, when I am back to my computers.

@pejon_88

What happened when you klicked the “Report to TripleA” button at the bottom of the error message?

This is most likely widely covered in the Support category, check for example this answer to the related issue:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1631827

But at first you should follow the “Report to TripleA” - workflow to see what is behind it.

@barnee

I see. That’s a pity.

@fatoumas

In the meantime you and your co-players can edit the xml file to be found in the “game” folder of the map installation manually. Just remove the line quoted above and save.
Note that the change has no effect on your current game (savegames). So in order to play including this change you need to start a new game.

@Avner

Ah yes, in case you see an error message when you hit “Download Maps” do as follows:

• Hit “Engine Preferences”
• Select “Testing”
• Find “Lobby URI Override” and set it to “Latest Stable”
• Hit “Save”

Then klick “Download Maps” again and it should work.

@mikawagunichi

Yes. Just use Play by Email instead - and instead of sending emails just post the turn summary manually (copy/paste) and attach a manually created savegame.

You don’t need to setup the mail configuration.

@barnee said in TripleA engine - Known rules-related bugs/issues:

@simon33 I’m getting conflicting answers. I don’t know what to think right now :)

Rulebook Pac1940.2 page 37:
"The United States may not declare war on any Axis power unless an Axis power either declares war on it first or captures London or any territory in North America, or Japan makes an unprovoked declaration of war against the UK or ANZAC, after which it may declare war on any or all Axis powers on its following turn. "

@simon33 layed this out correctly.

@barnee

Thank you, now I understand. It had been removed AFAIK and replaced by a log file.
See:
https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/2497/replace-console-logging-with-a-file
and
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/8436

That doesn’t explain why it was present in 2.5 though. I vaguely remember that “Show Console” might have been an option in the Engine Preferences what had been removed later.

@barnee said in Dice Rolls Not Showing Up:

Hmm … I am not getting any dice rolls in my email. I’m not worried about the rolls, just that they aren’t showing up.

Do they show up for you ? If not, I’m thinking the nodeBB update is why.

On linux ubuntu

@Panther
have you encountered this ?

My email is a GMX

An old and unresolved problem unfortunately:

See
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/38111/current-triplea-marti-pbf-pbem-gmail-issues/

Unrelated to the forum software however.

@Eqqman

In case your username there is the same as here:

• Can you log in to the other forum?
• What exactly happens when you try to reply to a post?
• Which error message is issued?

In case of no success:

Please log off. Then perform a browser refresh and clear your browser cache.
Log in again and try again please. Then report what happens.

Thank you.

@Eqqman

But there is an “Eqqman” account there. Isn’t that yours? It was created on July 22, 2020.

What is your username that you used to log in and create the above image?

What you experience is usually caused by an incomplete account registration process, so that might be caused by the Google-Login-procedure. It is always recommended to create an account using the standard account registration procedure.

So tell me your username (or the Gmail address) and I can take a look.

You can tell me by PM in case you used your real name there and/or want your mail address kept private.

@dawgoneit

Be sure to have the latest TripleA-version installed, that currently is 2.6.14615.
See https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases

Then can you please post screenshots of what happens when you start 2.6 and then load your savegame.
I cannot reproduce what you mean/experience so I need to see what you talk about.
Best would be step by step. So write what you do and then post an image of the result of your action. Then the next action and so on. Just from the beginning of clicking on the TripleA icon to start TripleA.
Thank you.

@ubernaut
Can you take a look, too, please - as I will be absent from my PC until Tuesday. Thank you.

@ubernaut
Thank you.
Same here on my Windows 11.
But I am not sure whether this completely covers @dawgoneit 's issues.

@mike64 said in Triplea Running Light on Funds:

thanks. unsure. so are there two areas to donate? one for triplea one for AA.org (league).

Yes, as these are two different pair of shoes.

While there is much interaction between axisandallies .org and triplea-game .org, they are different.

Axisandallies .org with its forum is a fansite for Axis and Allies games and it allows playing games related to A&A with TripleA via the forum (PBF). Triplea-game .org on the other hand is the website and forum for the TripleA software. It’s focus lies on the development of the software, development of hundreds of playable maps and online-gaming via the lobby (next to PBF and PBEM).

So a donation to both helps to cover the costs of both websites with their respective (individual) targets.

@dawgoneit said in 2.6 is not letting me access my games:

@Panther mike64 helped me out. working fine now

That’s fine. Enjoy gaming!

@Panther

I think there monied up now if you wanna unstickie. Thanks for making it visible :)

Done :-)

@Enskipp Welcome to the forum.

TripleA uses its own Java bundled with the installation, so your system-wide Java does not matter.

What you experience is quite uncommon, so it is hard to tell what causes the error on your side, as TripleA usually works fine on all OS. Now this error message is issued by the OS, so we get no more information from it - respectively what the Windows problem actually is.
TripleA-related errors usually become obvious by error-messages issued by TripleA itself.

What is your Windows version?
Is your Windows up-to date (all system updates installed)?
Which TripleA version did you download and install?
Any Antivirus that probably interferes?
Any interfering background processes?
Have you uninstalled, installed again and re-tried?

@Zhukov44 said in Unable to run new install of TripleA:

@Panther

The 2.5 version installs fine, but for whatever reason the installer won’t work if I’m downloading an installer from https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.6.14644

I’m running Windows 10 and I assume either the TripleA_2.6+14644_windows-32bit.exe or the TripleA_2.6+14644_windows-64bit.exe should work. But the exe files from that site don’t launch for me, though the 2.5 installer works (https://triplea-game.org/download/) fine.

Do you have a link to an installer that works?

I am sorry, but the installer is not the problem. I (and hundreds of others) am (are) constantly downloading and installing from this source (https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/) without any issues. That includes (pre-)release 14644. Myself, I am on Windows 11 (64bit).

(Btw. the source for the 2.5 version is the same, as the link on the the TripleA-site points to the same Github-repository.)

In case you are on a 64bit Windows the TripleA_2.6…windows-64bit.exe file is the correct file for you.
So we need to figure out what happens (or not) specifically on your side.
Let’s do that step by step.

Just to be sure we talk about the same issue:
What I am understanding from your words is that you say:
“I have downloaded the TripleA_2.6+14644_windows-64bit.exe file to a specific place on my harddrive. When I afterwards doubleclick on that downloaded file NOTHING happens.”

Is that correct? Also please indicate if your workflow maybe is different.
