TheDog-GH created this issue in triplea-game/triplea open Feature Request: to help players on the purchase screen with maxBuiltPerPlayer errors #9231

@butterw As I already said in the past, instead of Ctrl+A and Ctrl+D, I suggest having Ctrl+X and Ctrl+Alt+X, where X is any natural number. The number defines that only the units having that mobility value or more are added as long as they can attack ("fire"), respectively, as offenders or as defenders (so, Ctrl+0 would act the same as Ctrl+A).

The main advantage is that, when adding offenders, you use Ctrl+1 for adjacent zones, Ctrl+2 for zones which are not adjacent but are adjacent to an adjacent zone, and so on.

When adding defenders, you will probably almost always use Ctrl+Alt+0.

Of course, the feature can be limited upwards to the number 9.

@raziridium again i dont want to cause a problem, but maybe we should vote if we "want" to change the logo before we vote to change it.

@butterw Cool, hard decision how to proceed. Removal of common hotkeys that allows for greater game play efficiency vs mitigating a rare but impactful mis-click due to chat. Maybe there is another option here..

@rogercooper I haven't used the feature firsthand as of yet. But I was under the impression that a place marker (typically 48x48+dmz) is still on map. If so ,then in a small territory that space is very valuable real estate.

But perhaps I'm mistaken.

There are multiple cases to consider but the relevant code to modify looks like this.

final String transcriptText; transcriptText = player.getName() + " collect " + toAdd + MyFormatter.pluralize(" PU", toAdd) + "; end with " + total + MyFormatter.pluralize(" PU", total); bridge.getHistoryWriter().startEvent(transcriptText); endTurnReport.append(transcriptText).append("<br />");

I think adding a variable final String transcriptTextMod; with a modified formatting would be possible.

@rogercooper The simplest way to do upkeep (with integer PUs) would be to have a fractionnal rule (ex: 1 for X Infantry units, rounded down) rather than multiplyPUs (x10).

Having a german fighter cost ex:105 instead of 100 is unlikely to have a huge impact on the game . Keeping regular PUs and a base cost of 10 and using a higher upkeep of 1:9 instead of 1:10 would achieve a similar result.

@beelee

'number' is already used to show how many units are to be supported. This has been discussed before.

Cheers...

As mentionned in this thread allowing map specific AI hints would allow mapmakers to make the AI gameplay more interesting, in particular in maps where complex rules (not understood by the AI) are used.

I've found that Movement Restrictions for the Allied ww2 Russian AI Player avoids RUS risking its critical fighters by attacking the axis fleet in the Mediterranean or by defending BRI India.

Here is a list of current projects: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/projects
Maybe not as informative as it could be.
Roadmap is mostly in my head right now, it's going slow. The list is:

2.6 release, requires 'maps server' to be launched upgrade network technology convert bots from stand-alone game hosts to instead be network relays convert save games to be text based

Hmm, it looks like you're right, and java doesn't support mp3 for some stupid reason. It's hard to be sure, as every google search finds links that are nearly a decade old, and the documentation for the current version of java doesn't say which audio formats are supported. I can't find any clean answer on exactly what formats current java's built-in stuff supports. It's sad that it's so hard to find a straightforward answer to such a basic question; it really seems like the kind of thing that should be straightforward to find in their documentation. How hard is it for them to just clearly say which audio file formats are supported?

@zlefin Sorry it is confusing, forums is for players, issues is for developers. Use the forums to work out the details of how something should work, use issues to discuss with other developers how to code it.

This might be a difficult one to tackle, maybe not. I suspect it might be difficult due to the general cludginess of how the history is rendered. I will commend any effort, though you might be about to get knee deep in the swamp on this one : )

Do feel free to post any coding help/question/discussion items as needed, we will be eager to help you, help the project.

Of particular note in terms of behavior is the combat screen - you don't want it repeatedly coming up when you're trying to look at history; but if you're playing one of the nations in the game, and your input is needed, that's a much higher priority than if you're just a spectator.

FWIW - There is an option to show combats as an observer. It's somewhat hidden in the settings window and would do well to have a second home (a place to also toggle it) on the battle window itself.

@aagamerz13 sounds interesting, do you have any skills to help in this request? i always had problems with dice, even using "low luck".

@fatoumas np 🙂

@zlefin you can actually already do that discovered it recently by accident. the primary defenders (territory owner) will already be selected in the dropdown team menu. if you select one of the other teams instead of the normal behavior (clearing the units) it will swap that team to primary you can then hit swap sides to get the attack setup. 🙂

@cernel Having a proper cancel on the wait dialog would be a benefit. The fact it is modal and not cancellable is very risky and has caused a number of deadlocks (basically if any process it is waiting on crashes, it sits forever).

It's not trivial to do that, but would be highly desirable. I agree.
