2.7 Lobby + Bots Available & Early Testing Phase

[LaFayette]

Good working list - I created a project and added those issues:
https://github.com/orgs/triplea-game/projects/14

The project is there largely so we can keep a single list as items are fixed.

Speaking of which, the no-sound issue should be fixed now with: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15463

Statusbar icons missing, it works for 15256
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/14274

@TheDog Do you know which map that is?

-> Fix pending for truncated maps

I have a fix in flight as well for the truncated maps list. Turns out.. the maps server was crashing while indexing the maps. It does so alphabetically in a loop, so it only got about half way each time before crashing on the same map and stopping.

->Item created for map download/install issues reported by Beelee

I created a project item for what @beelee reported above: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4304/2-7-lobby-bots-available-early-testing-phase/7

No, but here is a screenie of 1941 Global Command Decision (GCD)
it is missing the dollar wad icon, it only has one resource, that is not local to the map, so it comes from TripleA install directory. I will guess that is the problem. As 1888A Steam and Steel has its resource icons local and they work as intended.

Updated Github with the above findings.

@thedog sound is not fixed in v463? The version i posted earlier?

[TheDog]

@lafayette
Yes the latest version crashes on Windows.

2.7.15463 works fine here. No crash, with sound, and I'm on Windows 11.

Edit: I just read the respective Github-issue: so I add that my installation is in

C:\Games\TripleA

[TheDog]

Mine is the default install, so

C:\Program Files\TripleA

Two important fixes landed:

1. fixed the sound related crash when TripleA has a space in the installation path
2. bot networking incompatibility with game client

There are still some outstanding problems, but AFAIK nothing major that prevents gameplay with bots.

The support server has some fixes ready to address the map indexing being cut off after about 50 maps. I'm hoping that'll come in soon, and the full list of TripleA maps will be available from the maps server and also on the bots.
