    I just tried to download this Map once again on version 2.5 and got the same thing, error messages. I looked for version 2.7 but had no luck. I have to delete this again which is frustrating.

    Thanks for the explanation of the directories. I avoided version 2.5 because I also used to get weird error messages when loading games. I don't think it's necessary to correct this though as the minimum TripleA version will now be set to 2.7.1, and with that version there are no problems. So as far as I know the only necessary fix is to change the triplea minimum version.

    The reason for these 'weird' error message was caused by the double directory and the "mapName", which 2.5 uses to load the map.

    @victoryfirst said in World War 1914 Larry Harries Does Not Work Plus Question:

    The minimum version is 2.7.1 for these modules because of the advanced code. I will keep this in mind in the future.

    xml wise, the only difference between 2.5 and 2.7 is "isAI". Myself, as a 'developer', IMHO, would look for the widest possible audience to play my map. This was the problem I was having with "D-Day 2 PoC" that was discussed with @Panther above. 'mapName' "D-Day_2_PoC" is not the same as "D-Day-2-PoC". Because the 'mapName' was wrong "D-Day 2 PoC" would not load into 2.5. Once corrected, it works.
    If "World War I 1914 Improved And Tournament Rules" is installed using 2.7, because it automatically unzips files, everything is installed under "world_war_i_1914_improved_and_tournament_rules", and sub directory is removed. This means that map.yml 'map_name' should be changed to reflect this.
    Funny thing, if 2.7 is used for installation and 'mapName' in both xmls is changed to "world_war_i_1914_improved_and_tournament_rules" then the map plays using 2.5. This does not work when installing using 2.5 because 2.5 uses the zip file which contains the double directory.
    In essence what I'm saying to make this 2.7.1 the map.yml should still need to be changed. To be 2.5.2 the double directory would need to be removed, map.yml would need changing and both xml's 'mapName' would need changing.

    @RogerCooper has world-war-i-1914-improved-main but this also has a map.yml 'map_name' and xml's 'mapName' problem.

    As always, trying to be helpful.

    Cheers...
