    Thanks for the responses. I'm glad it's working for somebody. My xml is just screwed up. I'll have to get it straightened out.

    @alkexr said in Negating the loss of capital: Try playerAttachment instead of rulesAttachment in both name and javaClass.mcdvoice Thank you for the explanation. It is clear for me.

    @Contango that is unfortunate. My map was going to have most of the income be objective based for one side.

    @ff03k64 Everything was different. This map is not needed in anywhere when Aggression 1941 already fulfills all of its functions with better graphics.

    First, thank you all for the engagement on this topic! To summarize where we are so far in this discussion: github repositories is a beneficial storage solution that provides a lot of features that we would be unwise to rebuild in its entirety automating the management of 'triplea_maps.yaml' is welcome documentation effort is needed to make the upload process clear. We should create at least a thread, if not a category to provide help for uploading Follow-Up Topics to Discuss in other Threads A number of other topics were raised that could use discussion. I'm thinking to create a thread titled something like: "How should we improve the maps ecosystem" where we could discuss the many other aspects of maps and what could use improvement. Still under consideration: zip uploads that are automatically stored as repositories First, if we automate the generation of 'triplea_maps.yaml' by finding data that is stored in the repositories, we'll have taken care of a portion of the download side. Specifically the idea here is that 'triplea_maps.yaml' has a section for each map, essentially we move each section of that file to the respective map repository where the backend would be configured to find it. In this way the backend could effectively generate the 'triplea_maps.yaml' file. A really nice thing about the above is the backend wouldn't care how the map data gets into repository. After we get to that point, it could make sense to build an in-game uploader that takes a zip file and uploads it into a repository. There is enough complexity in doing that where I don't know if it would be worth it, so we'll need to play it by ear when and if we get there.

    Is it possible to end games in a certain round with triggers? Is it possible having auto-intercept?

    @Mas-N so if the map is playable and you just want feedback on balance, you should upload it to triplea under experimental. You can then make adjustments for future versions as needed. Here's Frostion's guide. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FfF7N0srp9QG0_if5D-c1d1Aa1QTttdhxgm1GBh3pI4/edit If you're not familiar with git, it might take a bit to figure out. Ask if you have any trouble.

    https://www.sendspace.com/file/oihq93 You can check it everything from there. I just can't update somethings via github due to wrong file structure. The land AA's are no different than classic anti air units. 1/6 chance for every air units. More ground AA stacks have no impact.

    @ff03k64 You can use triggers to remove and add units but not to transfer them. For example, if you wanted to have a trigger to move units from Siberia to Moscow you could say remove 4 infantry from Siberia and another trigger add 4 infantry to Moscow. However, if there was no infantry in Siberia, the units would still add in Moscow. (You could however, make the presence of units in Siberia a condition for adding units in Moscow) It would be good to have a transfer trigger, which move units if available from one to another. You could make a feature request,

    As i understand it, this should make each sea zone worth 1 PU? That doesn't seem to happen in my map, so im wondering if this might be related to the issue?

    This is a condition statement and is checking if player owns a sea zone.

    Cheers...

    For a new TTy you will need the correct xml info and then do the centers poly thing as well as drawing the new TTy.

    I forget the specifics but I'd pick a TTy and follow it through the xml adding the new name next to it. You can add the connections later but it shouldn't hurt to do it now either.

    Once the xml is up to date, follow Elk's guide step by step. @thedog probably more up to date on it than I 🙂

    If need be, we'll bring in reinforcements if you get stuck 🙂

    Hi, @TheDog

    I noticed the top line:

    <attachment foreach="$All-Players$^$All-SZ$" name="conditionAttachment_SZ_@All-Players@_@All-SZ@" attachTo="@All-Players@" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player">
    <option name="DirectOwnershipTerritories" value="@All-SZ@" count="1"/>
    </attachment>

    As i understand it, this should make each sea zone worth 1 PU? That doesn't seem to happen in my map, so im wondering if this might be related to the issue?

    I dont know honestly, but thanks for all the help! Let me know if you somehow find a fix!

    Another question regarding map creater tool.

    I'm editing a map right now (domination 1914 NML).

    and following this guide: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3432/a-brief-guide-to-the-map-creator-tools-utilities

    Splitting territories in two has worked for me, but creating new territories (islands as example) works differently? I cant get it to work, i assume its different from dividing excisting territories but how does this work?

    Same goes for sea zones, does that also work different?

    Thank you!

    @ramon

    I think the condition that activates the trigger/condition has to come before the trigger/condition.

    Also, other things will still work but depending on where they're listed, will affect how they show up in the purchase window for example.

    Support attachments as well but I don't remember the specifics. WC clued me in on it. I need to look it up again.
