@eqqman Not what you are after, but if you want to share a unit.png across all factions you can put the unit icon in the unit folder and not in the faction folder like below, one named icon is shared across all factions, so no duplicated icons. All the Industries, Bunkers & Oil Field are shared. [image: e8305a6f-34bc-48ff-8f23-b6851e14329b-image.png] . As an aside, map makers have done clever things with misc images, like making another tile layer to cover the whole of the map using one really big image layer, again to cover the whole of the map

@kindwind I don't think so. However, the game has some menu options to export game stats. You can inspect the files produced and write some Python code to parse them if they have the info you need...

@kjrnorway most likely if a certain font is requested and not available, then the application will fall-back to using a system default font.

@wc_sumpton Thank you for that info! I at least got that to build successfully. Which is more progress then before.

Thanks again @jtkenny for you and your groups contribution. Hopefully will be added soon with the next release. Any thoughts of encouraging following students to continue your Groups Work ? Maybe the teacher or professor could recommend ? Actually, encouraging All student groups across the Nation and the World as a whole would be ideal but sticking with ISU for now, would be cool to see student interaction continue. Once again, Thanks to you and your Group

PC connections? Don't think that's the problem but will review that, thanks ubernault

Was updating documentation, found this: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/blob/d3ad17b446fdd319d45424f6a62dfc47d346b4f4/docs/development/initiatives-and-tech-debt/anti-patterns-and-tech-debt.md I think we can probably delete the doc file in favor of what we have here. Adding in from that list: logic code mixed in with UI code

@aardvarkpepper FWIW, this is all part of an effort to remove components that are not compile-time safe. Meaning you have to run the code before you get to see it break, rather than just having it break at compile time. Previously XML was mapped to game objects via reflection. We have removed that. Network data transfer is done via a customized implementation of Java Serialization that uses Java Reflection sprinkled in. The 'network relay' project attempts to address that. The remaining piece is serialization of save games. This would be the project to address that.

For context, this is an example of an active project board: https://github.com/orgs/triplea-game/projects/2 We have a 'problem tracker' project board: https://github.com/orgs/triplea-game/projects/3 The board to track project ideas and feature requests would be somewhat similar to the 'problem tracker'

@thedog Beautiful. That worked. Thank you!

@beelee said in Most Popular and Best Games to Test Changes with ?: @thedog yea looks good. I was thinking more the complexity of maps that pushes triplea to the limit as opposed to themes. Lets ask @cernel for his opinion Not a strong opinion, but I do believe 270BC Wars was by far the heaviest game of TripleA when it was released. As far as I know, only WW1 and WW2 themed games are any popular. World At War is certainly the most popular TripleA-original game. Amongst the basics, Global Second Edition and Revised (non-LHTR) are by far the most popular ones.

@All @lafayette @Cernel @RogerCooper Hopefully Last call Tags will look like this, some with a prefix of 3 characters, to force the order to be displayed on the download screen. where =and after is just a guide ***** =Best/Showcase maps (maybe one from each of the eras/genres below, so could be 5-12 maps) **** =Excellent *** =Good ** =Experimental * =Abandoned or unplayable (could be archived in the future) 10-Ancient-Medieval =(pre 1450) 20-Early Modern =(1451-1764) 30-Revolutionary =(1765-1869) 40-WW1 =(1870-1930) 50-WW2-Global =(1931-1945) 52-WW2-Europe =(1931-1945) 54-WW2-Pacific =(1931-1945) 56-WW2-Alternate =(1931-1945) WW2 theme that does not fit into the other 3 WW2 60-Nuclear =(1946-2100) includes near future 70-Future =(2100+) Star Trek, Star Wars, Sci-Fi 80-Fantasy = theme Magic, Mythical Creatures like Dragons 90-Abstract-Alternate = a catch all that does not fit the above list, like Steampunk, War of the Relics . Tag tabs will look like this on screen, ideally with the prefix removed ***** **** *** ** * Ancient-Medieval Early Modern Revolutionary WW1 WW2-Global WW2-Europe WW2-Pacific WW2-Alternate Nuclear Future Fantasy Abstract . @LaFayette I have a Lobby sign in TheDog, so when your ready I will start experimenting/entering the tags.

@martymoose I haven't had a chance to check yet. I'll try and give it a look soon

@rogercooper said in TripleA development: @thedog said in TripleA development: I find github is not intuitive and not easy to use. I have tried to use it to upload a map and failed and wasted over 3 hours achieving absolutely nothing. I have worked out a system for uploading mods. I will post detailed instructions soon. It is not an intuitive process.. @rogercooper Please could you post detailed instructions for uploading maps?

@martymoose This is about the forum software, that needs to be updated by an admin.

@lafayette cool enjoy your trip. Before you split can you add asvitkine to triplea-maps at github
