@Trout Sorry, my bad, thanks for the change!

@trout Heh heh, I thought I left Egypt a little weak and it would fall. That's why I had to keep taking Alexandria with more Units Than I preferred. Otherwise it'd open up a landing spot for European Air. But yea, the Kill shot on London was obviously the way to go Hopefully I've finally learned my lesson

@tonymez said in World War 1914 Larry Harries Does Not Work Plus Question: Why doesn't this map work>? It used to years ago. If you are saying this, that means you are talking about World War I 1914. My module for WWI 1914 exists since December 2th 2024. That's 1.5 years ago. World War I 1914 exists since December 3th 2022. That is 3.5 years ago. I think it is worth it to upgrade to 2.7. It is faster and handles the game folders better. I upgraded to 2.7 because I got error messages with 2.5 when opening maps all the time. With 2.7, I have never gotten an error message since. Download here the latest pre-release: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15447 Download here the version I am using (which I get the least error messages with): https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.14971

@rogercooper Thank you so much!

@beelee In A&A North Africa, aircraft can escort convoy zones, so they can stay in sea zones from the end of your turn to the start of your next turn, similar to Original Pacific. This was difficult to implement as you want your aircraft to be killed in any of YOUR phases if you don't land them, except in the Assign Convoy Escorts phase, which functions as a NCM phase. You can't do this by only setting removeAirThatCanNotLand to false and using placeNoAirCheck because then the aircraft will not be killed by the engine at all. If you set it to true in every phase except Assign Convoy Escorts, then the aircraft will be removed on other player's turns. So initially to solve this I thought of invisible carrier units. I had conditions and triggers that placed a carrier at the end of that power's Assign Convoy Escorts phase in every sea zone containing aircraft owned by you. At the start of their next Advance Convoy phase, in which you need to land your planes on the water, all carriers are removed. I tested it a bit and it worked very well. The aircraft were removed when it's YOUR turn but not on other player's turns. However I forgot about the possibility of one player moving his aircraft to a sea zone, then in that same round another friendly power moving his aircraft to the sea zone. Now, two carrier units are added, one for the first player and one for the second player. The first player's carrier is removed at the start of his next turn. However, because of the second carrier, the aircraft of the first player are able to land and will not get killed. Even though they should. And the carrier of the second player is necessary because if it wasn't there, his aircraft would die along with the aircraft of the first player. That's why I asked the above question. If I could prevent air units from using allied carriers, that would solve this problem. Fortunately, there was another (much better) way to solve this problem. I was reading through POS2 and came across this: carrierCost values: the space this unit takes up when sitting on a carrier. if set to 0 then air units can even land on sea zones without a carrier being present (think sea planes) I knew what carrierCost was and what it did but once I read this line I learned something I didn't know before. Setting carrierCost to 0 allows a plane to stay at sea without an aircraft. Excellent feature, exactly what I needed! Now what I have are triggers that change the aircraft's carrierCost from 1 to 0 and vice versa. Normally, aircraft have a carrierCost of 1 and can't remain at sea. At the start of the Assign Convoy Escorts phase, the aircraft YOU own have their carrierCost set to 0. This allows them to stay at sea. Once it your turn again, at the start of the Advance Convoys phase, your aircraft's carrierCost is set to 1 again, meaning the engine will show you a warning if you keep your fighters on the water. For this to work I did need to create separate air units for every power (G-fighter, G-bomber, I-fighter, I-bomber, etc.). But that's a small concession compared to the work that's now not needed. The carrier unit code can be deleted, and now there is also no need to set all aircraft to kamikaze (with the original code, this was necessary because you otherwise weren't able to use your full movement to reach a sea zone because the carrier is added at the end of the movement phase).
