When downloading a file with 2.7, there is no percentage progress, it jumps from 0 to 100%, this is false as the files are still being downloaded.

@epinikion Just change it so that anyone who gives up before round 8 or something loses. Meaning the guy whose turn it is, if he doesnt play in x amount of days or what ever its a loss.

Updated the link in this post - now using the permalink. It should no longer expire.

@lafayette said in Personal Status Update - I was MIA doing hurricane relief work. Less MIA now. (But still MIA!):

Not all bad news, but mostly bad news, lol = D

heh heh Happy Thoughts now 🙂 Plenty of good things happening too 🙂

And to all a good time!

Cheers...

@beelee thanks for the update quite the adventure already 🙂

Thanks @beelee and all for feedback & votes

I think I'll tend to agree with the majority here. Bad things happen when rushed. Perhaps the next couple months will serve as an extended testing period - a very good thing.

I reduced the number of 2.7 bot servers to two. That's a cost of $10/month and gives us 6 game instances in the meantime.

I'll spin up a 2.7 'megathread' thread & link it in the lobby. Make the testing a bit more official.

The 'EXIT_ON_GAME_END' flag is new in 2.7.
All 2.7 lobby bots have this configured.
The lobby bots are configured in a very similar way, except as a linux service (using systemctl)

The way lobby bots are installed can be reverse engineered from:

Release notes updated: https://triplea-game.org/release_notes/
Bots should be in good shape. Duplicate map problem should be largely fixed now.
No major known issues.

@ubernaut i was intrested in playing and hope to run into few friends

Hi
I know there is a small group that go way long back, so I belive that must be the one you call "the regular players" Personal I been here for +10 years and play several that been atleast that long to and several other players wery regular players. just e play the big maps (waw, nml, nwo) so maybe you distingues between map groups.
My belive is that there is a flow of come and go players and a steady group of players that stay for years. the problem in my eyes is not the walue of the site more that we are not good enough to spread the "word"
just my point 😄

@black_elk - yes, all good points. do you paint some of the miniatures as well? There seems to be a good market for that lately.

@andreas-rovere
Correct.

2.5.22294 is what most lobby players will be using, so its the best choice.
