@panther

I redownloaded France Goes First and the plain Global 1940 UDH Map and it works again on 2.5.

@battleshipyamato

Sure, you can of course try and use this "erroneous workaround" - but this "solution" is part of the problem - as discussed in this topic.

A TripleA-map (or module) should never depend on having preinstalled another one. In this case this has been caused by oversights and errors in different files.
"France goes FIrst" needs some rework before it should be donwloadable from within TripleA.

@VictoryFirst

I did some research on this, see here

Naive question, there appears all the elements for removing the Pxx zones?

All aircraft could have a move of 10 and share the pathing/connection of Shorebombardment or

All aircraft could have a move of 1 and share the pathing/connection of Shorebombardment if aircraft and Shorebombardment started from a zone that had connections to all land zones?

@gregorek whatever amount there is it is not noticeable versus the other background activities

your concern and input are appreciated and i am by no means the real expert here but i believe these issues should not be worrying you 🙂

That was it. Thank you for the help.

@GREGOREK

Sorry for not replying sooner, I've been busy with my own little side project.
I've played a few rounds, there are some interesting concepts here. With regards to some of the comments at the bottom of your notes dealing with maxBuiltPerPlayer and requiresUnits. There were updates to the AI when dealing with these types of units. But the AI considers "What is best for me now?" when purchasing and cannot handle upgrades/future consideration type of purchase.
Did a scan review of the xml. I've been reading to many of @TheDog's stuff. That one is the Master of foreach/looping 👍, which makes an xml so much easier to read.

@gregorek said in Jurassic v2.0:

Can new territory connections be made during the game as part of game play?

Think of "Canals". They are a type of territory connection and their attachments can be modified.

Cheers...

Welcome to the site !

Idk how things work specifically all that well, I just bang away until it works. Probably not the best approach 🙂

You can have windows and Linux both installed on. I can't remember. I think I had to do some sort of virtual thing. Anyway, I hate windows so I rarely use it. Probably because I don't know how lol

At any rate, it looks like it's the triplea install giving you trouble. As Panther says, triplea should auto add java for you, so should be good there.

When I DL triplea I don't use the installer command. I just go to permissions and hit execute.

I'll DL a prerelease I've been meaning to do and show you how I do it.

I'm gonna DL 15025 as recommended by The Dog. It's the last one that centers on your Capital. You can force individual maps to do it by tweaking the xml but that's a fair amount of work and frankly shouldn't be necessary.

Anyway, it's a nice feature that you take for granted until it's gone. Then it becomes annoying. It's a simple fix but w/e not my department 🙂

Gonna go here for the prerelease

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15025

you want the unix one as you already know 🙂

Hmm won't let me post the pic. Try a smaller version.

So I have 2 Triplea/triplea folders. One with a Big T, which is where the releases live and one with a small t where the games/maps and saves live.

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-43-23.png

Here's the Big T

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-45-27.png

You can see I have 14962 and then another release in a separate folder 15330

I go to downloads and right click on 15025

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-47-36.png

Go to properties and hit Permissions and then execute

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-49-19.png

Then open a terminal and drag 15025 into it

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-51-49.png

hit enter

and then follow the prompts. I usually put it in a different folder 15025 will call it. Have to be careful or you have to type the whole thing in.

Screenshot from 2026-04-06 09-55-44.png

Then just keep hitting next

then Finish and it should fire up

You can see the Java version and the triplea version upper left.

Oh yea, I guess I shoulda said this first. I can't get the 2.5 stable to work on linux anymore. Probably a couple years now. I've mentioned it to dan a few times but nothing ever came of it.

This is what happens when I try it

So you can play local or by Forum/email but can't use the lobby. I haven't checked the 2.7 lobby in a while but I think it's still being worked on.

So you will need to use windows to access the lobby. At least that's what I have to do 😞

Let me know if you get stuck somewhere. We'll call in reinforcements 🙂
