How To Add Your Map To TripleA In-Game Downloads

[Xander Dorn]

I tried to follow the guide to the letter, but I get this error message when I get to "Sign off". Can anyone help me? Is there a way to upload a map without the Git GUI?

I use GitHub Desktop
https://desktop.github.com/

IFAIK you need permission to write/upload to https://github.com/triplea-maps
Someone has to grant you access to it, but not me.

@thedog Thank you! I think it worked with GitHub Desktop, but this is still very confusing to me. I would certainly have preferred a simple ftp but I guess that's not hip anymore. I did make a request for the map to be included in the downloadable maps. Or at least I think I did so. That or I accidentally ordered a new vacuum cleaner.

@xander-dorn

Are new games downloadable ingame again?
I noticed they don't seem to and heard there was an issue with that so latest new games are not appearing in the list?

[Xander Dorn]

@ebbe I just tried and it worked.

@xander-dorn
Was that download test with TripleA 2.5 or 2.6 as they have different requirements?

In https://github.com/triplea-maps

I dont see any new maps?

[Xander Dorn]

@thedog 2.5.22294

What is the name of your map?

[Xander Dorn]

@thedog xd_tiberium - I haven't gotten a respond yet.

@ebbe
TripleA 2.6 is still broke and cannot download new maps.

@xander-dorn If you send me a link to your map, I can post it on Github. However, at the moment the maps on Github are not downloading in game.

[Xander Dorn]

@rogercooper https://github.com/XanderDorn/xd_tiberium If that works. Otherwise I can zip it and put it on my google drive.

[RogerCooper]

@xander-dorn That link does not work.

And Thank You!

@xander-dorn
To play your map with TripleA 2.6 you need a new file called map.yml
This is stored under your xd_tiberium directory and should look something like this;

map_name: xd_tiberium
games:
- {game_name: XD_TIBERIUM, file_name: XD_TIBERIUM.xml}

2.6 is faster than 2.5 and Im hoping will be release later this year.

Also you might want to create a new topic here
https://forums.triplea-game.org/category/5/maps-mods

Something like
Tiberium Dawn - Official Thread

Then players can easily comment on your map.

@thedog I added it. Still unsure whether I did this right. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10IuuN-exiaW8cArORBUg0j9i07VTf31b/view?usp=drive_link

[TheDog]

You did, it works for me.

[RogerCooper]

@xander-dorn I have it posted now under https://github.com/triplea-maps/XD_TIBERIUM

[Xander Dorn]

@rogercooper Thank you very much! Though I couldn't find it in the Download Map section ingame.

@xander-dorn The in-game downloads are still broken.
