@redrum: I wouldn't mind continuing this when you're less busy.

@ubernaut No worries. I'm not in a position to throw stones when it comes to taking your sweet time when the move is somewhat non-obvious and you are busy in real life.

@ubernaut already there

Hey Frostion,

sorry for the late reply. I don't know why, but I don't get to see the tooltips on many items. I was really surprised to see your picture. For me it looks like this:

I tried it one the latest stable release and on one of the prereleases: 2.6.22453

@panzerstahl-helm-0

Right on

Yes an epic battle for sure. Congratualtions 🙂 I'll write up a report.

Safe travels. Enjoy the warm weather 🙂

@Name Just checking in to ensure you're ok. 😃

@victoryfirst

Trying to gear up to finish the report and just realized JPN should've activated there Home Defens. Got 2 free dudes D3 1st rd .

I would've changed attack though and think I'd still get it. Of course you would've done things different too 🙂

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it. I used to have them auto deploy but changed it, as it's discretionary as when the defender wants to use it.

Maybe I can make a notification for when enemy units hit the Homeland ? User action ? Could auto place then but I don't think that'd work because shit placed at start of combat will show up but not fight.

Anyway, I'll dick with it for next update

@Handsome sorry i wasnt sure what was going on with you and so i just started another game and possibly have another 2v2 game on deck. 😛 i'll ping you back again once things lighten up. 😛

@netorious cool videos but AI really cant play the map at all

I'm afraid if I don't leave this somewhere it will be lost to time forever.

Here is the Pop_1914 folder which I have. It includes a tweak I must have made at some point, to the under image. Probably while trying to get blends to work under the newer scheme, or who knows, it was like years ago now.

This map/game is not in a fully completed state, meaning I'm not sure if meets the specs for the pre-release 2.7 is stuff. It won't autounzip, but if I extract the folder and place that downloaded maps it will launch up. I think perhaps just needs a yaml in the right spot, or to match the new structure for that stuff in the latest tripleA way.

It's missing some elements, unit graphics I believe, as I only had Germany for that from Hepps, and I think the others may need to be worked up. but this is everything I have for it so I didn't want it to be lost. Going like 5 years on my old dropbox links probably will be defunct eventually. Anyhow here it is from the archive on my drive.

Power of Politics 1914 (Map/Game Folder)

That includes everything I was given by Hepps and Redrum at whatever point that was back in like 2020. The way Hepps did his design, the Misc folder was used to include all the decorative elements in tiles (basically like same way as using the map tools tile_breaker in map tools/tile_reconstructor in other optional tools. I believe what I did was to isolate out the convoy lanes, and then put it back in a reduced opacity, and changed the base ocean color to a lighter color for blends. This was just me trying to customize what was already there, hence the backups in case anyone needed to restore. Here is an image with blends on and then another blends off, so you can see what all is there.

There screen for G1. Right now G is the only faction with graphics, so I think that would need to be the basis, at least for Central Powers. Perhaps the Entante could just be made in the similar style. Graphics for that one all 48px, but might do an upscale if I can find the time. Otherwise I think Hepps stuff all looks pretty badass though, I mean stylistically it's all very visually cohesive with his other tripleA boards, and has the unifying vibes. Not sure what if anything comes of it, I just didn't want to lose all that work that they put in. Map is in a WIP state still. I'm not sure of the ultimate design vision for the politics and such, but wanted to make sure it was saved somewhere at least.

Best

@redrum kk Japan and NewJersy bots run the latest pre and have maps updated

@beelee might try "TransportC8 D1 (already available) " if subs get out of Line. Seems ok so far though, ( U-Boats just took a beating as I type this ) but
"Those Boys been in Dry Dock too Long". : )
With a C5 DD it'd no longer be the Fodder Unit. Also, just noticed, if a DD is fired on in CM while going to another SZ, You cannot move through that zone in NCM due to it have been being in a "Combat Zone".

Another boost for the DD : )

Oops ! Sorry just realized probably not the right spot for this : )

Thank you @bayder and @prastle for officiating and also @valter for the kind contribution of the prize $$$.

@LaFayette Well, that was really more on the side of the user, as it would be the one adjusting the right bar wideness, but I've no idea if it is an easy thing to do or not. For example, the optimal size of the buttons is probably not the same if you are on a full hd or on a ultra hd, but of course there are many more items that go the same way, so I guess it's consistent.
What the mapmaker would gain is the ability of setting a minimap dependent right bar wideness independently.

Minor note, I would actually distribute the buttons this way, left to right:
Previous-Next-Skip-Sleep-Alert.

@Makalakalane thanks for a fun game learned a lot. 🙂
