    @rogercooper said in Handling Customized Techs: The tech system in TripleA suffers from hard-coding, but it would be difficult to fix the program without breaking the existing mods This would incur what one would think "fixing" would need to be done. Maybe "expanding" the present system would be better. Either way someone would still need to define how the system is "broken". Still, I didn't understand what was meant by this statement. Sorry. Cheers...

    @beelee said in Scenario Design on Wiki: @rogercooper I wonder if the "Axis and Allies" and "TripleA" is problematic. When I started the wiki, TripleA was still in its early years and the content was less focused on TripleA. I have never received a complaint from Hasbro, Renegade Studios or anybody else.

    What "canMoveAirUnitsOverOwnedLand" does and oughts to do

    @wc_sumpton said in What "canMoveAirUnitsOverOwnedLand" does and oughts to do: @cernel I'm sorry what I meant was the default setting for archType Neutral "canMoveAirUnitsOverOwnedLand" is governed by the option "Neutral Flyover Allowed". If "Neutral Flyover Allowed" is false then "canMoveAirUnitsOverOwnedLand" is default false, if true then default is true. Wow! Sounds like that means that is supposed actually to be about flying over (and not just entering with air units). So is the description of this option in PoS2 wrong? I need to test this.

    @rogercooper said in Standard Variants: I doubt could doubt I could do upkeep, which involves changing the value of every territory with a property. Changing territory values are not that hard. Check Mega New Elk's map. Territories are a list of variables. Adjusting their PUs values is quite easy, even though a game properly. Or a fancy each to create a charge. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding what you mean, which is totally possible. Cheers...

    This should be the last update for this xml, since this is not an official mod for this map, I'm leaving the xml in a mess, but it does run. And is more AI friendly (isAI is not used so can be run with 2.5). A "Russian Revolution" game option has been added, but if any Central Powers are AI controlled, they will not accept the peace treaty. A game option "Amphibious Assault Get -1 Attack" has been added because the AI will not allow edits if they are already attacking. This is left true by default. There is still a noncombat move, as the AI does not handle a single move game. Enemy mines will only attack when entering or stopping in a sea zone. They do not attack when leaving the sea zone. They will attack during noncombat move but can be switch off in game options (Always on AA). To recreate the game notes, delete the html file and a new one will be recreated with updated information. As always have fun! world_war_i_1914_wc.xml Cheers...

    @beelee I've got this several times with EXP too... it usually happens when I do multiple test turns or mess up my real turn and have to restart couple of times. So I just quit the game entirely and restart.

    @elf-491 Hi Elf I don't remember exactly how I did it. This is what I have <option name="isConstruction" value="true"/> <option name="constructionType" value="bunker"/> <option name="constructionsPerTerrPerTypePerTurn" value="1"/> <option name="maxConstructionsPerTypePerTerr" value="1"/> <option name="canDieFromReachingMaxDamage" value="true"/> and I think you need this property too <property name="Place in Any Territory" value="true" editable="false"> <boolean/> </property> there might be some others needed too

    Can I have multiple types of tech tokens?

    @rogercooper said in Can I have multiple types of tech tokens?: Can I have multiple types of tech tokens which are used to roll against different tech tables? What I am trying to do as to have a "diplomacy" tech which gets you random allies as well the traditional tech type. No. You could have multiple tech/techActivation. By default each tech uses the same "tree", but this can be manipulated through triggers. You could use a different resource to purchase tech tokens, but without removing the tokens, they could be used for any tech. But only tech tokens can be used to purchase tech rolls. @rogercooper said in Can I have multiple types of tech tokens?: Can I bias the tech table for a player by having multiple identical entries, making some techs more likely to be discovered than others? Yes, just add the entry multiple time to the playerTech, or through triggers. Hope this is helpful. Cheers...

    @elf-491 Welcome to the forums. If you are using TripleA 2.6+ I think you are missing map.yml look at other map.yml files to work out the syntax. If you want others to play test your game host on Google Drive or similar for now, its far easier to update.

    @simon33 That's a good question. Idk. Seems as if it might, although it'd probably be rare but if that's the case, it could happen. Just have to try it. I'd try and get it to work taking the french stuff first and then adjust as needed. But yea, you could have a trigger that changes ownership once France falls. That's kinda how the Vichy rule works now, so I'd think your idea would work.

    @beelee I got it to work, thanks to your help! It turned out there were two territories still included in the place.txt that I wanted to remove from the module. I thought removing their place boxes would do the job but they actually were still in the place.txt, just without any coordinates. This caused the String Index Out Of Bounds error. Lesson learned!

    Trouble with Polygon Grabber

    @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. Cheers...

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

    @Ramon

    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.
