@victoryfirst said in Trouble with Polygon Grabber:

I noticed this extra white territory bordering Sokna that shouldn't be there. I tried to remove it but then it fails to grab the polygon again. Is there a way to get rid of that?

That little area is what I called "What's This?", and I'm assuming that it is suppose to be part of El Agheila. There seems to be a problem with the border there, and it got created when I tried to clean the map. Go figure. It not that hard to take care of, "What's This?" will need to be edited out of the poly file, then El Agheila can be reselected to include that area.

As to the desert zones, the border did not completely touch the bottom of the map, thus cleaning removed that border. The border would need to be redrawn, insuring that it touches the bottom. Then the two area can be reselected.

centers.txt
polygons.txt

These files have split the desert and have "What's This?" removed, but they still contain the other names for the missing areas.

@wc_sumpton

yea i get ya, even if you are Lions fan 🙂

Hopefully Victory First finishes his java class and jumps in 🙂

@victoryfirst

Idk how it got turned off lol

Edit

I'm real happy now 🙂

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0
see Victory's post above if still having trouble

@victoryfirst

yea unfortunately it only works on setup. You can't trigger it with a condition.

Re background music

I suggest you have a soundtrack of your background music that is as long as possible, and use it for game_start, then I'm fairly sure it will play throughout the whole game. I don't think it should have that much effect on the download time if you compress it. However such a sound might be annoying for people as the sound will just continue even if you close the game. Only when you close TripleA the sound will stop.

That is the Pacific mod. You should be able to upload the file changes directly to that folder.

@victoryfirst

ah yea. First time I copied some game notes I ended up with a massive wall of text lol

@ebbe

You also need tech development turned on or it won't center on anything

@rogercooper

so: adapted balanced proposal:

for every battleship max produced
2 carriers
5 cruisers
10 destroyers
10 submarines
10 transports

@thedog

Very cool!👍 😎

👍 Thank you!!

@wc_sumpton

You are right, I just noticed I had isAA for the fighters when it did not work, and it is missing when it did work, so isAA caused the issue (I changed a lot of parameters so that's why I didn't know what fixed it). I will try to remember not to use the options you mentioned because they indeed cause a lot of trouble. Thanks!

@rogercooper said in Axis & Allies: North Africa:

The sophisticated supply rules of AANA are at the heart of the game and are not supported by TripleA. It would require a significant addition to the engine to support the supply rules. Such might be desirable, as the rules are good and could be applied to other situations

This "supply" requirement is almost the same as Axis & Allies World War I 1914 "Infantry" requirement, and could be handled in about the same way with unitSupportAttachment. Thus, armor/artillery etc.. have an attack/defense value of 0/0 and can only attack/defend with the presences of the supporting unit, supply/infantry.

These unitSupportAttachment are strait forward, with the exception of the bonusType stacking rules, which at present are quite funky in their workings. (This is why I don't suggest this for WWI '14.)

"supply" cannot move and can only be transported by the truck, which cannot move during combat movement. "supply" could utilize the specialCombatMove to allow these units to enter combat. This would require the attacker calculate the number of "supply" to move.

Just some thoughts..

@wc_sumpton

Thanks for your answer. That's unfortunate to hear. I have a LOT of territories in my game so keeping track of how many territories have been lost will be very hard for the players to manage. An income level would be much easier because it is directly displayed in the "Players" tab.

@victoryfirst

Yes. Triggers, like conditions, need to have unique names.

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton

Thank you WC for you answer 🙂

@VictoryFirst

That made me laugh lol

In case you're not aware, v2 changes some other stuff too. Technology tokens i think. Maybe some other stuff. Can't remember
