@glenn44bc you can still advertise your game in the lobby, including what "bot" you are in. a lot of players slap a "known" player and say "game?", then tell what bot they are in. and some people just set up a "bot" and wait for someone to join.

@lafayette That should Engine Options/Settings/Testing/Lobby URL Override

well seems this works so it can be deleted. Can't remember if we can do that here or not. Can at the other place anyway I'll try n 86 it

Edit
Nope that's the other place. So, yea, this can be dusted

Hey @Cernel. Only time will tell. My understanding is any admin can edit the feature list post but unfortunately at this point I don't think anyone is really updating it or addressing items from it.

Hepps and I were working on some maps but other than that I think we both just got busy and aren't around as much any more. Good to hear you liked many of the features that were added.

So IDKY the Changer Alliance isn't showing up as Changer. But I just made it Axis and it seems to align correctly in the lobby now.

I guess it's not a huge issue as Relationships override everything. Just be nice if it lined up right for clarity.

@panther thank you for the quick help. i was able to get that to work. not very intuitive and a little odd that its so different from 1942 version, but rules are rules

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to explain. I thought I was going nuts. But now all this makes sense.

Maybe an added line or two in the instructions explaining these mechanics would help.. but to keep my word, I made the donation and added to it for also having an ID-10-t error...

@silverbullet I would suggest the Anniversary Edition. It is reasonably well balanced and it is simpler and faster playing than the Global Game. If you are not experienced with the game, try the 1941 game to learn the system (or just play TripleA)

Regular nwo probably doesn't need a bid. At least it doesn't at high skill levels per the history of ladder games tuning it. It's possible it does at more medium skill levels. It's also possible there's some key move patterns or choices that aren't being utilized which would fix the issue, and that not enough of the good nwo players are still around to copy from.

I don't know about 5-nations at all, as I'm not sure it was ever subject to tight balance tuning.

Of course part of the point of a bid system is that you can use it regardless of others' opinions on the matter, and simply bid to find something that seems fair to both sides.

@deusastra I'm not 100% sure if bots can even be passworded. The 'server' password refers to how the bot is controlled via admin commands. I don't think it is even used anymore even.

This is the one I used and lafayette has it listed as well
https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account

I think my mistakes are already documented above lol, so I would say just pay close attention to the directions. : )

@lexxisriennnl
I have an interesting story about that.
During the gamification training, I created "a game in the game". This was one of the assignments to complete a course on java programming.
https://codegym.cc/ is a really unusual service for learning to program.

@jim-parker

The error.log is just a simple text file that does not affect any procedure once it has been created or deleted. The errors that are still included in the error log indicate some inconsistencies with the PBF setup information.

However, as you can post now we should get back to your issue once it will probably reappear.

It is always a bit tricky to use usernames that contain spaces or special characters for PBF.
That is why on the other forum we recommend to avoid that or to change the name.

In any case jim-parker should work on this forum. Of course you need to change the Forum information in the PBF setup-screen to forums.triplea-game.org .

@beelee That fixed me. I double checked the pop repo and it has an old version. I uninstalled it then reinstalled the latest of this site and it is working now. Thanks!

@dubstep All mods can see the (unedited) chat log, so we know what was said in there. About the thing in your game, if it was an honest mistake or an attempt of cheating. it's his word against yours. And I know who I trust more.
Now, the ban was only 15 minutes, you should get over it. And I can promise you: if you keep arguing all you will achieve is that every mod is looking more carefully at you.

@cernel it means getting caught up in the details doesn't really imply the importance of said details at least the way i always use it. 😛

@cernel should we have this listed on the main lobby page with the main "subjects", it seems sort of "hidden".

@dubstep I'd agree if a topic is locked it should stay that way. I've opened an internal message with moderators asking them to be more mindful of this.
