I've opened an issue for this problem. https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/13244

Yes I considered it, but with 30+ Techs and growing its messy, times 8 factions. I tolerate its current way of bolting on units. @frigoref @LaFayette @Myrd Maybe a Dev could take a look?

@lafayette woot!

@ubernaut I'm all for such a meeting, even if regularly doesn't mean fix dates, but rather certain intervals for a get together to align directly. We'd need the active developers (@Myrd and @LaFayette?) and I would like to join. For topic discussions everyone else is welcome. Could you assist to find a slot (doodle or something)? PS: My time zone is CET and I would prefer Sa/Su.

@beelee Kinda heavy news that you slid in there. Let's not dwell, but thank you. Some delay is still kinda welcome. I need some time to get the server stuff in a better state and documentation updated. With luck, the documentation will be relatively complete & self explanatory, but nothing like having another person go through it to really see where the gaps are. Given that you already use linux, you're going to be fine! Some quick googling here to read up on places where you're unsure (and welcome to what is my day-job! Knowing a small bit of stuff, being unsure if you can do something, and researching it and then getting it done - you got it!) On the plus side, the servers usually "just run", the stability of the apps is pretty good. I think the most urgent thing will be something like a server is out of disk space maybe. I'll send you a message and we can keep the dialog open.

@thedog Found it - there was a "link project" option. Should look good now It looks like Github has changed projects a good bit from a couple years ago. Projects in github used to be repository level items (repositories are owned by organizations). Now projects look to be true organization level items with "links" to possibly zero or many repositories. The links create the previous behavior and adds some additional flexibility.

I don't remember why the 800x500 is ideal. I want to say it was because that is a good fit on the download maps window. To some extent, IIRC, the images there are not scaled on the download maps window - so there is no fixed requirement of a specific size.

@aardvarkpepper i think it over allows meaning if u have 1 carrier any number of fighters can be flown to aspace as long as 1 carrier is within range

@eqqman In such questions, you should generally specify to which TripleA you are referring, which mainly means whether you are looking at the current release or at the current pre-release. Besides, I'm too unsure about the current release (because changes were made over the years, and unfortunately it has been years since the latest release), but I believe that the current pre-release prioritizes enclaves, which should be the only case in which this matter should have any relevance beside bad map-making.

@rogercooper That's awesome Roger. I am hoping the new game is balanced and playable. All Good Things, James

@eqqman I think there is a miss understanding here. convoy.txt and blockade.txt have nothing to do with the convoy or blockade territories. These files, like decorations.txt, capitals.txt, etc... only deal with placing graphic icon on the map. To get convoy/blockade to work the information must be placed inside the game xml, corresponding to the affected territories territoryAttachment. Also, as @TheDog pointed out there is also a 'property' flag that also effects how convoy/blockade work. Hope this is helpful! Cheers...

@eqqman The "IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition" is still free from jetbrains web site Hope this is helpful! Cheers...

@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: 1704706352438-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.
