There is a DTD, doc type definition that does enforce which XML entities and properties are allowed.

I was thinking you meant an XML property as opposed to a TripleA <property> tag. In XML, a property is typically a value after a tag, eg: <tag property=123>

When parsing in an enforcing mode the DTD defines which properties are valid and which are not.

Though you are right about property name values. An unrecognized one would go unused. EG: <property name='not-recognized'>

@wc_sumpton actually, adding the techTokens made my earlier approach work (in my first attach .xml file) so no need for triggers!

When a unit checks for repair facilities, it always selects the one where it can get the highest amount of repair, which is technically 0, in this case.

Assuming you are making or modifying a map, moved to Map Making.

@Cernel Along that line of thought, perhaps a better way of phrasing what I was trying to say is this:
Rather than the outcome of the user action being notified of itself, could we substitute (or just reference) something from the notifications file?

I'm confident I can do this because the userActionAttachment has the activateTrigger option and the triggerAttachment has the notification option. This method will work, I was just hoping for a shortcut 🙂

Re: 1) really depends on the copyright that Slitherine Corp is using. They very likely have a commercial copyright. TripleA is GPLv3. Simply attributing the images is not enough.

Re: 2) Uploaders generally assume any copyright risks. Copyright infringement is bad news "The law provides a range from $200 to $150,000 for each work infringed." Best case you're given a cease and desist, worst case you are sued for copyright infringement.

Unless you have written permission that the images are in public domain, I don't think you can nor should use them.

@RogerCooper Right, but the point here was that, in a somewhat realistic game, by the time you reach the point in which Germany "collapses", the player playing that side would have already surrendered, thus you would virtually never actually reach the point.

@Cernel said in Where do I change map "version" so that "update" option is available:

I realize this is off topic.

Agreed.

@redrum @Cernel

Hi, I'm just a newbie into all this.
Do you know if there is any development about being able to use these special Sub abilities?

If I want to restrict Subs in First Strike phase to only hit surface warships, excluding aircraft (of course) and submarine (also), do you believe this small step can be more easily implemented?

It will not add another screen, or other phase at all. Just make aircraft and Subs not available as valid target.

Thanks @Cernel, I was really hoping I was overlooking something simple, but at least it is possible as you suggested.

Thanks for the help! it works now.

Thanks for the help you two! It looks great now and I think I got the hang of it!

@Cernel

GD it you sure got the eye. "Also be sure the phase is exactly called "russiansPurchase" (not validated)."

It's "russianPurchase" Had me chasing my tail for half a day. Big thanks 🙂

@LaFayette no. redrum helped me out. thanks lafayette.

I figured it out! You have to designate Japan as the initial territoryowner for each of the Kamikaze sea zones! YAAAAAAAAAH

thanks man.

Right on! Thanks for the info 👍

I figured it out thanks to Hepp's help in private chat. Here was the solution: changeOwnership only seems to work if the players changing ownership are at WAR with each other. So the trigger now has 3 steps. First it changes relationship to WAR. then another trigger does the change in ownership. And then a third trigger changes the relationship back to Allied. 🙂

@Cernel Here is the panel

The trick is that A&B start at war and the real players randomly ally with A or B. A & B are nominal players with no territories or units.

Yah. that was it. And another typo. thanks man
