Does the "capitols.txt" file have any function? I moved the capitol for one of the factions in the XML file, but not in the "capitols.txt" file. No errors happen, and the new capitol seems to function correctly.

@Cernel It works perfectly. Thanks for the help.

I had the same problem; Probably need this one;

<property name="Damage From Bombing Done To Units Instead Of Territories" value="true" editable="false">
<boolean/>
</property>

@hepps Right on thanks again

@frostion @redrum

Ok I got it. Manually editing the vc.txt file worked. But need to have it in the correct format. As shown, rather than name of image and coordinates, need name of territory and coordinates. For some reason, not sure exactly why, the mapmaker was not able to do this (in desired locations). Or maybe I just don't know how to.

Germany (1159,383) United Kingdom (869,277) Eastern United States (223,496) Western Europe (979,416) Southern Europe (1088,673) Russia (1719,256) Karelia S.S.R. (1318,258) India (1931,917) Philipine Islands (2531,1001) Western United States (3493,443) Japan (2715,537) Kwantung (2412,805)

I've looked most likely there is no way to get error message in the current version. Is there any way to detect mistakes of xml besides getting error messages.

Also I have tried to download older version. Neither this nor old version did work when I downloaded the older one. So I did delete the older one.

@ssoloff If it was in 1.9.0.0.2772, it should have been documented here:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/wiki/Upgrade-Maps-Information

I guess you'll have to reupgrade all your maps having this property again @RogerCooper.

@beelee So to have the weaker aaType fire only, you probably have to use conditions and triggers. Otherwise it will use the strongest aa in a given aaType set if being sbr'd. Also keep in mind as @Hepps points out. There is another behavior in play regarding non-sbr aa.

Update: This change is out for version 1.9.0.0.11440 and later

@general_zod said in The Map Maker Project:

@hepps

What exactly are you proposing anyways?

I am not proposing anything specific right at this very moment since I would like to use the combined knowledge of the existing map makers (Guild) to establish a game plan. I have idea's but I am open to discussing what would be best.

I initiated the idea in the https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/918/map-maker-resources/2 and would like to build on a plan from there.

I will expand on my thoughts in more detail over the weekend.

@hepps ( dont ask Ice 😉 )

@crazyg Yes, I'm doing if for years now, but TripleA is much different now, so I'm starting it almost all over.

@alkexr
Thank for clarifying

@cernel Thanks for the answer. I will just need to copy everything.

@black-order I'd probably recommend putting the huge map on pause and create a much smaller map either version of avatar or something else. That way you can learn the map making process end to end and many of the gotchas that can be very difficult to change once you get to a certain point in the map making process. That way you can make sure you do the giant Avatar map the right way and not realize half way through that you need a bunch of rework that would be incredibly painful at that huge scale.

Very nice,thanks for help,Im playing Cold War 1965,And I have many ideas of new units.

@elreigh You'll want to make sure you have enough memory set and Fast AI should be considerably faster than Hard AI. I'd have to test your map to see what is slowing it down.

@redrum Thank you so much, that's exactly what I needed!
