    Only way for you to get a high resolution image is to open the reconstructed baseTiles and reliefTiles in preferably a graphics editing app. I'm looking at NWO and your in luck they left a blank map image (reconstructed baseTiles) named NWOblank.png in the map folder located in new_world_order-master.zip folder. You can paint it and scale it, as you see fit and print it. And or you can add the reliefTiles over it and have one of the available map skins. Note you will still have to paint the blank. If you want info on reconstructing the reliefTiles. You can ask for help here.

    @hepps @General_Zod after further checking I found that it was an installation problem. After I removed another JAVA product, everything started to run fine. Thanks for all your help!! P.S. @Hepps yes the default is 1 when not used. Cheers...

    @alkexr I also used the map making tools, but I would not use them now. I think they make buggy and unusable xmls. But they also helped me a lot

    @BeorntheBold if you can get the map repo: https://github.com/BeornTheBold/another_world, to have all needed files (looking something like: https://github.com/triplea-maps/the_pact_of_steel), then map admins can take it from there. Let us know how it goes @BeorntheBold

    @redrum That all I do is guess. With the resource bar enhancement, I was just checking one against the other to ensure thing updated as planned. Thanks again for your time. 'If you throw it against the wall and it sticks. Somethings wrong take it down an try again!' Cheers...

    @beornthebold You can use a system like Greyhawk wars to have a technology that indicates whether the player is AI or human then use conditions/triggers to turn it on/off: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/triplea-maps/greyhawk_wars/master/map/games/Greyhawk_Wars.xml You can then change either set different production frontiers or even trigger consumeUnits on/off.

    @redrum said in User Actions: Yeah, its on my radar already to allow any resource for user action costs That would be cool to have, I'm planning to use that feature in Fallen Empire @Hepps Greyhawk Wars uses user actions, if I recall correctly.

    @redrum Yup, that is why I said "currently". My faith in you has never once wavered. I wasn't trying to add any pressure. I knew we had discussed it.... but you have your dirty little fingers in so many dirty little pies.... I figured this was on a "to be considered later" list somewhere.

    @general_zod (option)+ stands for the XML constraint that is being broken. It essentially says that you can only have "1 or more option elements inside attachment". Which pretty much means you either have some other invalid element like in this case or misspelled one of them.

    @stohrm Not sure, but if you really need to know. I suggest you test it out by creating a 48x48 image and set the graphics app to display at 100%(actual size), and then change display resolutions to see what it looks like. From there you can adjust things as you like.

    @zjelcop said in Main Map Focus: @stohrm It only works for the nations you are playing yourselves, not when the AI is playing. So for Germany and Italy the focus should shift to the capital at the beginning of the turn and for me it does. When it's the AI turn it will not do that. Yes, it does focus on the Capital automatically if you're playing that Nation; but I was hoping for a command that could be put into triggers and such. For example: in the Tutorial game you don't start with a capital and it doesn't focus automatically to where your (only) unit is. Granted, that portion of the tutorial teaches you how to focus and such; but it'd be nice to have the ability to direct one's focus via triggers.

    In general I agree, pinned posts here is pretty ideal. Looking at the content in question: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/tree/master/docs/map_making, posts keep seeming not appropriate. I would not want to be the author of that post and on the hook for tracking update suggestions and making sure things stay updated. Content like that needs a wiki or some way that the full community can edit. A suggestion for it, we could create a forum post called "map making guides" and then include the above link to help people find the documents.

    Is there other points in a turn to activate triggers?

    It might be playable, I'm not sure. The names and the placements were being constantly changed wiping out all my work everytime, so I quit working on it.

    @Ramon I believe by default tech dice use the dice sides specified on the top of the XML (by default 6). So if you want to give tech a dice of 4, you'd be changing the dice sides that regular combat units use as well.

    If you want tech to be rolled with 4 dice sides and the other rolls with 6 dice sides, I think theoretically it would possible, but would it would be insanely complicated and require the use of a user action phase with a lot of nested triggers/conditions.

    Also, some of the stuff you want to implement that is currently not possible can be made possible by making changes to the engine. So if you'd like to see this happen, feel free to post a feature request here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues
