[Open] Global 1940 Balanced Mod3
-
Was trying this game out and the following error was shown:
No idea what it is or if anyone has experienced it before. I'm using 11376 engine. -
@scousemart Interesting. It happens here, too (11547). It does not occur with the OOB versions of global 1940, though.
-
@panther yeah, I've been using 1940 Global 2nd edition without that problem. Could it be something within the map xml?
-
@scousemart It seems to be related to this: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=37883.msg1536012#msg1536012
"Its caused by the optional "objectives panel" download. It has zero impact on the playability of the regular game. It happens because regular G40 doesn't have all the objectives that are specified in objectives.properties file. You can just close it and play on." -
@panther fair enough. It is a bit annoying that it pops up but if it doesn't impact the game then ok. Out of curiosity, is it something that can be fixed or is it likely to be too much hassle?
-
@scousemart I am not sure about that. AFAIK @simon33 included the xml-file to the map-repo. Maybe he knows...
-
Regardless of whether or not there is an error in the map XML, the error message did not appear through build 10363, and was only first reported beginning in build 11370. This is apparently due to https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/3822. I'll investigate as to whether the map XML should be updated or if #3822 should be reverted.

It looks like there are legitimate errors in a few of the Global 1940 map variants. Within objective.properties, there are several entries that have an extra semi-colon between the property name and value. That is, instead of just
=separating the property name and value, the erroneous lines use;=.Below are all such instances:
objectives.properties:395:World_War_II_Global_1940_Balanced_Mod.Russians;triggerAttachment_Russians_4_Increased_Lend_Lease_War_With_Japanese;=Additional <b>2 PUs</b> for each lend-lease route that is open if Japan has declared war on Russia. objectives.properties:511:World_War_II_Global_1940_Balanced_Mod_with_Combat_Move_First.Russians;triggerAttachment_Russians_4_Increased_Lend_Lease_War_With_Japanese;=Additional <b>2 PUs</b> for each lend-lease route that is open if Japan has declared war on Russia. objectives.properties:567:World_War_II_Global_1940_Balanced_Mod_with_Combat_Move_First.Russians;triggerAttachment_Russians_4_Increased_Lend_Lease_War_With_Japanese;=Additional <b>2 PUs</b> for each lend-lease route that is open if Japan has declared war on Russia. objectives.properties:630:World_War_II_Global_1940_Balanced_Mod3.Russians;triggerAttachment_Russians_4_Increased_Lend_Lease_War_With_Japanese;=Additional <b>2 PUs</b> for each lend-lease route that is open beyond Round 2 if Japan has declared war on Russia. objectives.properties:709:World_War_II_Global_1940_Balanced_Mod3_with_Combat_Move_First.Russians;triggerAttachment_Russians_4_Increased_Lend_Lease_War_With_Japanese;=Additional <b>2 PUs</b> for each lend-lease route that is open beyond Round 2 if Japan has declared war on Russia. -

@panther Super, I take it when it gets fixed, there'll be an announcement or will it automatically be added to the map downloads as an update?
-
@scousemart This will be fixed in the map repo, that you can follow here https://github.com/triplea-maps/world_war_ii_global , if interested. Once this issue will be fixed, there will be a corresponding map-version update that triggers a map-file update through the TripleA-software.
-
If you delete and download the package, you should get the fix.
-
@simon33 Took me a while to figure out GitHub and download the file package from there, but I did it and it works great! Thanks.
-
But you shouldn't have had to do that! Just deleting the map from within Triple-A and then downloading it again should have worked for you.
-
@simon33 Ok, now I see what you meant. I got a bit confused when you said delete package. Although I would have thought it would have shown up as an update to the map, or is that more difficult to implement?
-
That requires an additional step which I don't control.
-
Just noticed that the map name in the zip file is ww2global40_balanced2_0, whereas the mod shown in the game as Balanced Mod3. I know it's not that important but I think the xml should have the same names.
I thought someone should know. :winking_face:
