yea Changer is allied to all players so LM's can be placed there and not create a battle. LM battles have to be hand rolled.

Okay. Don't want to get into LM, had enough of that with North Africa.

@beelee said in Global 40 Expansion UHD Boxes:

Anyway, there's a buncha stuff that activates besides just objectives that may or may not be affected by the noPUendTurn.

Yea, lots of "resource" triggers. I think I got them all, but you should check anyway.

@beelee said in Global 40 Expansion UHD Boxes:

Yea i don't understand the does Nothing to know or not. Mongols can change to other units, Dutch can be taken over, so, Idk

These players have no steps. They preform no action. They may change, but that is due to another player's action. They don't need to be on the player selection screen.

@beelee said in Global 40 Expansion UHD Boxes:

Yea there's a buncha units that consume other ones but I'd have to check the create resources. I don't remeber which ones do that.

Consume happens during placement, and I didn't see any that created resources, but then again, double check.

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton

right arm good info on the does nothing thing. I haven't checked yet. Nippon is up in my multi game. @crockett36 and @VictoryFirst providing Panzer and myself quite the challenge.

I'll be up all night again, so will check it out after JPN move

@wc_sumpton

This works great ! Haven't tested extensively or at looked at what you did code wise yet but I activated the Pacific islands trigger and it's still working correctly

Well done

I'll dive in and see what you did. Test a bit more for Boxes but I think I can port over the changes for UHD Global and it should roll as is.

Actually I'll do a test run there to just in case but it has a lot less stuff going on than boxes.

It's not real popular yet but a couple guys are playing UHD in League now.

Once I verify, I'll ping simon again as he's in charge of bung's map I believe.

At any rate Huge Improvement !!!

@wc_sumpton

I think I kinda get it. This is basically the meat of it.

as long as we have this condition

It will activate the above two triggers, which turns it on and off or off and on before and after NOPUEndTurn.

That right ?

Still looking at the non Objectives that are affected.

Edit
So as long as I don't have a trigger with "resource" and a "when" with endTurn or endTurn and no "when" at all, I should be good to go ?

Edit 2
e.g. this one doesn't have a "when" so you added the condition.

Edit 3
I guess I shoulda added a when for those triggers but they'd all be at endTurn and would need the condition anyway

[wc_sumpton]

@beelee

You got the gist of it. I basically looked for "objectiveValue" or "resource", but yea if there wasn't a "when" I tagged them.

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton

well it seems to be playing right. Think I'll just update it and we can find any errors by playing it

If we don't get any, I'll do it for UHD Global as well. I don't wanna run anyone off in case we missed something. Most people don't like new stuff when they're familiar with the old

If it works on boxes it'll work on Global

Thanks again

I didn't explain how the Air Commander works as well as I should have.

I will clarify in next update.

Hi Cat

yea post the error here. Also latest game version is 2.4 and I'm using triplea version 2.7+14962

Edit
I'm guessing the git issue is you. Are you on a mac ?

Edit 2
This the error on git https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/13365

tripleabuilderbot created this issue in triplea-game/triplea

open UnifiedInvocationHandler#invoke:57 - java.util.NoSuchElementException #13365

Hello: BeeLee sent me here:

I just discovered this cool version of TripleA called, "Global-40-Expansion-UHD-Boxes".

I have no idea what any of that means... what are boxes? What is UHD?

But the first dozen attempts to get this game to run have failed on German Turn 1 combat resolution phase.

I have attached one of the many game saves. Just try to 2025-5-7-Global-40-Expansion-UHD-Boxes.tsvg resolve the battle in sea zone 110 - although they all result in a game crash.

I hope this is the correct place to post this stuff. This game looks to be one of the best yet so I am hopeful I'll be able to run this game soon.

Cheers,
-Johnny

@beelee I just got a new PC - first one in ages as I prefer "real computers" heehee. Just teasing. But seriously I do avoid Microsoft operating systems whenever possible... But yea I was running this game on a Mac.

I should have to new PC up and running later today so I will try that as well.

[beelee]

@johnnycat

yea you in the right place now

F microsoft lol oh that wasn't very nice. My bad

Yea triplea and mac have had problems over the years. My guess is that it's a mac issue. It works on linux and windows anyway. If you can get it to work on windows, then I'll ping the high foreheads and sliderulers at git that it's most likely a mac issue.

I'm on linux but have access to windows. I just really don't like it

Edit
Oh yea so the name is after the creator of the mod https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37535/the-captain-s-global-1940-house-rules-collection combined with Elk's UHD, Ultra High Definition, Global map.

Boxes relates to the "Armies/Corps/Army Groups" that are used in the face to face boardgame. There was a previous triplea version I modded that didn't have the UHD map or Boxes

Edit 2
@Black_Elk s UHD map was designed with higher resolution more pixel things. I don't really know myself but it's for modern 4k type stuff or 5k. I don't even know what any of that really means lol

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee OK thanks for that intel...

Well the look of this game beats that of any WW2 style board game I have seen in decades !!!

So I am HUGELY excited to learn this game - last year I got involved in the 1941 Global Command Decision game and that was fine too. I'm not surprised to see the same names (Black Elk) involved here as was there.

But THIS GAME has me even more interested to learn - and I just got a new liquid cooled, super NVIDIA GPU PC so I will be able to skip over any Mac-realted issues right away now.

But as was the case with the 1941 Global Command Decision game, I see little in terms of USER MANUALs or EXAMPLES OF PLAY !!!

You Nerds and your just assuming that us normees are just gonna "figure it out" hahahaha

So as I attempted to do last year I'd be happy to help break this game and contribute to some sort of manual and/or more useful tooltips or WHATEVER CAN LOWER THE BARRIER TO ENTRY that currently is the rules of the game - at least in my humble opinion.

For example, this game makes a big deal out of giving "Airborne" to each country. But after hours of trying I have not been able to figure out how to use airborne units in any way.

And what is with the LOVELY, and I mean SUPER LOVELY, retro units from other games. I was getting flashbacks to my childhood playing Avalon Hill games such as Luftwaffe, and Panzer Blitz...

WOW Engineers !!! I recall seeing those very units but now forgot which game. So how do engineers work in this game?

When I open up the editor and see dozens of cool new units like super carriers or units that have the visual graphics of other games I played years ago, I am super anxious to learn more.

But, alas, as is the case with many of these games, I see no user manual or other tools I might use to learn.

Cheers mate; please let me know where to find out how to get rules to play this game,
-Johnny

@johnnycat

heh heh yea the Game Notes explain how it works with triplea pretty well. They are continously being updated. They are listed under the Help tab top left bar.

Here's the rules link again https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jI_1JdIC-1KiTihBICJAbtX3GpVYnNgf/view

Here's a clarification doc https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jI_1JdIC-1KiTihBICJAbtX3GpVYnNgf/view

Here's the main link at A&A.org again https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37535/the-captain-s-global-1940-house-rules-collection

There is a strategy guide listed below in the mainlink above https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37458/strategy-guide-global-1940

The Game report thread is also helpful. Also listed in the main link https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37723/global-1940-1943-expansions-game-reports

Edit
Here's Engineers there not listed in the main rules manual https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/assets/uploads/files/1704049684134-g40-combat-engineer-unit.pdf

Airborne units you will have to use Edit "Perform Move or Other Actions" usually.

Edit 2
There are a few examples here although some have become dated https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36998/global-1940-and-1943-expansion-for-use-with-triplea

Something on the todo list
