Custom Label for Part of a Turn?

Jason Green-Lowe

How can I edit the label given to actions on the right-hand side of the window? I have created a second combat move step to allow for a particular kind of naval penetration, but the engine is displaying it just as "combat move" and ignoring the label I assign it. The label shows up fine if I switch to the "View History" mode in the left-hand tab, but not in the right-hand tab that is typically available to the players in the "View Current Game" mode. I don't want players to get confused and think that they just forgot to click "Done" when the same label appears for two phases in a row.

<step name="germansNavalCombatMove" delegate="navpenmove" player="Germans" display="Naval Penetration Move"/>

See below, you need to add a custom text display="Combat...

<delegate name="move" 			javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.MoveDelegate" 		display="Combat Move"/>
<delegate name="battle" 		javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.BattleDelegate" 		display="Combat"/>
<delegate name="purchase" 		javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.PurchaseDelegate" 	display="Purchase Units"/>
<delegate name="placeNoAirCheck" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.NoAirCheckPlaceDelegate" display="Place Units"/>
<delegate name="place" 			javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.PlaceDelegate" 		display="Place Units"/>
<delegate name="endTurn" 		javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.EndTurnDelegate" 	display="Resources"/>
<delegate name="endTurnNoPU" 	javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.NoPUEndTurnDelegate" display="Turn Complete"/>
<delegate name="endRound" 		javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.EndRoundDelegate" 	display="Round Complete"/>

.
or against each nation like below
In the example below endTurn is called/displayed Resources

<step name="GermanyNonCombatMove" delegate="move" player="Germany" display="Non Combat Move"/>
<step name="GermanyPurchase" 	delegate="purchase" player="Germany"/>
<step name="GermanyPlace" 		delegate="place" player="Germany"/>
<step name="Germany1EndTurn" 	delegate="endTurnNoPU" player="Germany"/>
<step name="GermanyPolitics" 	delegate="politics" player="Germany"/>

@thedog Thanks, but I have that exact feature already in my code and it's not working for me.

Try this, notice the 0EndTurn and 1EndTurn
You need to apply that to your 2nd Combat move step.
I think they are important to make the step name unique.
I got this from Cernels 270BC Wars, and now use it in 1941 Command Decision

<step name="Germany0EndTurn" 	delegate="endTurn" player="Germany"/>
<step name="GermanyCombatMove" 	delegate="move" player="Germany"/>
<step name="GermanyBattle" 		delegate="battle" player="Germany"/>
<step name="GermanyNonCombatMove" delegate="move" player="Germany" display="Non Combat Move"/>
<step name="GermanyPurchase" 	delegate="purchase" player="Germany"/>
<step name="GermanyPlace" 		delegate="place" player="Germany"/>
<step name="Germany1EndTurn" 	delegate="endTurnNoPU" player="Germany"/>
<step name="GermanyPolitics" 	delegate="politics" player="Germany"/>

@thedog That's interesting with the serial numbers. I tried changing my code to use serial numbers, but I'm still having the same problem. Any other ideas? @wc_sumpton

    <delegate name="tech" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.delegate.TechnologyDelegate" display="Research Technology"/>
