@beelee Thanks for the help I got it working with the wc_sumpton's instructions.

Some might say that about me too but if the shoe fits.

Yea... us 10 and halves are quite a mentally challenged group.

Nice you got it working xml work can be frustrating, unless you were born with a large amount of patience I try to look at it as a puzzle anymore, as opposed to wanting to throw my computer down the driveway lol

PactofSteel2 xml is still the best information source, next to wc

Holy Smokes Batman. I broke this code somehow. I had it working based on your instructions but I must have changed something later on and its not working again my code is below.
If you can be so kind as to help.

Everything looks good. Is the 'techAttachment' set for each player?

Cheers...

[craigviau]

@wc_sumpton

Do i just need this set up.

<attachment name="techAttachment" attachTo="Finns" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TechAttachment" type="player">
<option name="paratroopers" value="true"/>
<option name="mechanizedinfantry" value="true"/>
</attachment>

Regards

[craigviau]

I should have said it is set up but maybe there is more code needed?

[wc_sumpton]

@craigviau

As long as there is a 'techAttachment' for each player that is using 'paratroopers'. If it is still not working, then it is very hard to figure out what the new problem might be with very limited information.

Sorry

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton

There is a techattachment for all players but so be it. crazy that it was working previously.
Not sure what I changed. But no worries if you don't know don't sweat it.

@craigviau

The first post presents a lot of information but is very disjointed. To be of any further assistance I would likely need to see the full xml.

Cheers...
