@jonpfl Open your savegame and look at history. If you got it anytime, it should be recorded at that point.

Moving to Bug Reports (no matter if valid).

Just noticed that the map name in the zip file is ww2global40_balanced2_0, whereas the mod shown in the game as Balanced Mod3. I know it's not that important but I think the xml should have the same names.
I thought someone should know. 😉

@gogmosis Using pre-release 1.9.0.0.12035, I tried to reproduce this issue by running several majority Hard-AI games using the World War II v5 1942 SE TR map. I ran these tests using both Java 9.0.4 and Java 10.0.2. The exception you reported above was never raised, so it's possible that the recent Java 9+ fixes also addressed this symptom.

Would appreciate it if you could try 1.9.0.0.12035 on your machine (using the same version of Java you used above). It's possible that the issue still exists, but I simply can't reproduce it on my machine. Thanks!

Good news and a bit of a conversation pivot. How bug reports make it into the tracker will soon be a problem for just admin/dev.

We're introducing an http server to the mix and that let's us build a few things pretty quickly. The first feature to make use of this is a 'error report' feature for the client that is in progress.: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/projects/4

The original idea was to upload stack traces to the server, with a little bit more we can add a text field on to it to get a free-form input so we can submit bug reports directly from in the game. Hence, it'll be up to dev/admin how the reports are processed after they are entered, they will in a DB and we could potentially do things like automatically create bug tracker tickets when new items show up.

A logical add-on to this would be to add the capability to capture and upload a save-game while uploading the error-report. The http-server/client components are looking far enough along that we can potentially start thinking about how that process would look.

@rogercooper Never mind. I'm glad it's been resolved.

FYI... As of build 11550, you are now required to enter a username and password when using PBEM with either Gmail or Hotmail. Hopefully, that will prevent this rather mysterious error message from confusing someone in the future.

Thanks guys for helping an Iron War player out 😁
@peachypie If you have any feedback, suggestions or whatever concerning the map, then please visit the official map thread here: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/73/iron-war-official-thread

It is very interesting to hear about first time experiences, as it would be a new fresh set of eyes on the map. 🤓

@frostion Yes this happens on my system as well... the tooltip shows through on my screen even though a different application is in the foreground. I am on .11131

@mario-rafael-herrera-vaca It looks like your TripleA tries to load an old and/or incompatible map. When the maps were updated the wrong spelling "attatchment" had been corrected to the correct "attachment". Now maps including "attatchment" in their XML cause errors.

@prastle That's working, thanks for the link.

@scousemart The initial state of this checkbox has apparently been broken since it was first introduced in 2012 (however, as you observed, PBF works fine). A fix has been submitted in https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/3774 .

@Lsg123 that message is saying that TripleA cannot connect to internet. You should not be able to connect to lobby, and map downloads etc.. would not work.

I opened this ticket to improve the messaging there so it's more clear, this message is meant to be helpful so you don't get a "ConnectionUnavailableException" when you actually try to connect to lobby or download maps: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/3608

@panther @RoiEX Great stuff. ☺

@comr What Engine version are you running on?

PS I tested some games you mentioned and the paratroopers and Air transports are working as intended.

@comr said in AI ignores destructible factories:

Hi,

Is there any trick known to force AI to consider buying certain resources or units? For example units that are producing resources? I'm playing with Dragon War official and my little conversion of it (units eat and need to be paid every turn, towns are producing resources; food, PU's, metal, wood). AI just doesn't care, so I'm trying to force it to buy at last from time to time village or town. I'm considering make some "trick units", so AI can think "it's a good idea!" and buy something as something different. For example, super cheap unit, super defending or super attacking unit (based on simple stats), but in fact being something different? Let's say AI buys free unit, but can place it only on high value place and it's in fact village or factory?

All the best,
ComR

You could just use triggers to give the AI-played nations the needed resources automatically. It is a bit much to expect that the AI be able to handle arbitrary sets if resources.Or rather than using 'trick' units give resource creation to units that the AI already has like factories.

@comr loading trprts 1 at time works best. You can also load all of your 1 trprt only units, tanks and stuff, then all the inf. Doesn't always work but usually a little faster

@rogercooper No idea. I've never heard of or played the map. But pretty much has to be an XML problem unless you are seeing repair issues on other maps.
