2.6 Testing (Report 2.6 problems here)

[beelee]

@beelee it also does it under Players

Edit
It's also counting Italy when it shouldn't

[TheDog]

The Players tab is looking very crowded.

Would the tech table be better in its own panel, with a ctrl+T, a bit like the Politics Panel?

Then the normal Flag and Player faction name could be on the left and the Tech across the top. (This is in player order, just like the Players tab)

Looks like it's indeed a 2.6 bug that 1-player alliances get shown. Being fixed here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/10571

[beelee]

Noticing an old problem. Sometimes scroll freezes and I have to click anywhere and it'll start working again. I don't remember the specifics, just that it used to happen. Couple years ago or so anyway

Edit
On Ubuntu 20.04 if it matters

2.6.838 is giving incorrect supportAttachment. Here is 2.5 working correctly
2.5 correct support .tsvg
The Waffen_Oberst_4 provides an extra roll to the Waffen_Panzer and the Panzer gives the Oberst an extra roll as well for a total of 6 rolls.

In 2.6, If I take a hit in the first rd of combat, the extra roll or rolls is negated depending on if it's 2 hits or 1.
2.6 Wrong Support.tsvg

If not, it works correctly. 6 dice are rolled.
2.6 Correct Wrong Support.tsvg

In your "2.6 Wrong Support.tsvg" you're defending with "Germans defend with 1 Waffen_Arty, 1 Waffen_Oberst_3 and 2 waffen_infantrys"

There's no Panzer and the Arty doesn't give support to Oberst. Here's a save right before combat with panzer and oberst defending and I'm getting the same results on 2.5 and 2.6: 2.5-correct-support-test.tsvg

Let me know if I'm missing something.

[beelee]

@myrd here's one with the panzer. i saved before combat so you can run multiple battles. 2.6 Wrong Support A.tsvg

So if there are no German casualties they roll 6 dice. If there are German casualties, they only roll 5. There are multiple Oberst's that provide an extra roll depending on who there paired with. And the Oberst in turn receives an extra roll. So 2 extra rolls total. Take the Oberst as a casualty, so it won't give support 2nd rd of battle because you need all 4 units present to get the bonuses according to the rules.

Oberst 4 is for Panzer
Oberst 3 is for Arty, PnzrGrndr and Para
Oberst 2 is for Inf

All are Waffen units. They should be getting the extra rolls whether there are casualties in the first rd of battle or not.

Here's 2.5 before combat.2.5 Correct support A.tsvg
It gets 6 rolls regardless of 1st rd casualties.

Oh, I see what you mean - the number of rolls should be based on the units & supports prior to units being killed. Whereas in 2.6, there's a bug where it seems to consider supports for purposes of # of rolls based on the state after casualties. OK, agree that this regressed, I'll file a bug on GitHub and we can follow up from there.

2.6.838 doesn't have Game "Notes" in the upper right by "Actions" "Players" etc ... that 2.5 does.

2.6

2.5

@Myrd do you want me to make a Git issue ?

[TheDog]

@beelee
Notes tab by Actions, was removed early in 2.6. It was a request by me to be removed as the tab occupied valuable space, but more importantly lots of maps have detailed notes and that area is not big enough to display them.

As you know its function is already in Help> Game Notes, so this should be fine.

[beelee]

@thedog Hmm ... seems like the space is still available. is it gonna be used for something in the future ?

Not a huge deal, but, if you've never played the map before, I think it'd be better to have the notes more visible imo

[zlefin]

@thedog

it was possible to make the notes tab large enough to be read easily; you can/could easily modify that panel size ingame. Sometimes I'd enlarge it as much as possible to read notes while still being able to see the game; you can make it cover about half the screen iirc.

You could also just do that with the standalone notes window. You can resize it to be alongside your game window.

yea i almost always drag it open to about 2/3 screen width when i want to check something. i just don't see the space being used. it's just blank now where Notes used to be.

I know you can access via help but you have an extra hoop to jump through. Playing a new game, i refer to the Notes frequently

[Myrd]

There have been a bunch of other improvements and fixes, so more 2.6 testing welcome!

[beelee]

@myrd right arm :flexed_biceps: i got a couple xml fixes to do and I'll fire up another test game.

Hockey should be over tonight too : )

well ... maybe not lol

[Roybot]

FYI, I'm playing 2.6.20. Very early in game I a got an error message then menu bar (save, view, etc) disappeared. Here's screen shots from before and after the error message.

[Myrd]

@roybot Did you click Report to TripleA? This will file a bug report with more detailed information about the error.

[Roybot]

@myrd yes
