@nothingtoseehere headed to lobby

Thanks @beelee and all for feedback & votes

I think I'll tend to agree with the majority here. Bad things happen when rushed. Perhaps the next couple months will serve as an extended testing period - a very good thing.

I reduced the number of 2.7 bot servers to two. That's a cost of $10/month and gives us 6 game instances in the meantime.

I'll spin up a 2.7 'megathread' thread & link it in the lobby. Make the testing a bit more official.

From Morocco to Madeira Is. goes through Sea Zone 091 A, and cost 2 mp, 4 mp for the round trip. From Morocco to Canary Is. would go through Sea Zone 091 A then Sea Zone 087 B or through Sea Zone 091 B then Sea Zone 087 C at a cost of 3 mp. Air Transport only has a movement of 4, thus cannot make the necessary return trip. Even going to Mauritania from the Canary Is. would cost 2 mp so cannot be done. But you could go form Mauritania to the Canary Is. and back.

Cheers...

P.S. Concerning Azores Is. They share Sea Zone 091 A along with Morocco and Madeira Is. So, it'll also only cost 4mp round trip.

Cheers...

Never mind, I figured out the issue. The mapWidth and mapHeight in the map.properties file were both set to 256 for some reason...

The 'EXIT_ON_GAME_END' flag is new in 2.7.
All 2.7 lobby bots have this configured.
The lobby bots are configured in a very similar way, except as a linux service (using systemctl)

The way lobby bots are installed can be reverse engineered from:

Release notes updated: https://triplea-game.org/release_notes/
Bots should be in good shape. Duplicate map problem should be largely fixed now.
No major known issues.

testing...

I have noticed that when Isengard is penned in the AI doesn't seem to know how to go around the mountains to attack it from Nan Curunir. It will put mountaineering troops in the mountains but the rest it just stacks in the Dunland hills which will never get a proper opportunity to attack Isengard directly. Rohan also seems completely uninterested in trying to attack Isenguard and instead piles most of its units into Wellinghall, which was great at the start to protect Lorien early from Isenguard, but seems a bit useless at this point. Love the game by the way, I was a bit daunted at first when compared to the other LOTR map but this is a great game even if I haven't really learned the interactions with terrain yet. Hope you guys keep developing. Is there any ETA on a new release? 100a4a9a-f6a2-4878-a3f8-9c04462a2add-image.png

@victoryfirst

@wc_sumpton

Thank you, it works now! Awesome! 😁

@lafayette woot!

@johnnycat
Oops missed that off.

Axis Players & USSR can attack neutrals with Aircraft AI Axis & USSR 1:3 chance to Attack neutrals with Aircraft or 2:3 chance not to attack neutrals with aircraft.

I will add it to the post.

"foreach" is a writing convention. Instead of writing 10 block of code, write 1 and the engine creates the 10 blocks. To see how this works, first load your map. In the menu in the upper left corner there is Export and under that is Export game.xml File (Bata). After saving open the file and you should see:

<attachment name="conditionAttachmentRTOLivonia" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="1:Livonia"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentRTOKarelia" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="1:Karelia"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentRTOBelarus" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="1:Belarus"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentRTOUkraine" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="1:Ukraine"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentRTOTatarstan" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="1:Tatarstan"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentRTOPoland" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="1:Poland"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentRTOSevastopol" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="1:Sevastopol"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentRTOKazakhstan" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="1:Kazakhstan"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentRTOFinland" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="1:Finland"/> </attachment> <attachment name="conditionAttachmentRTOMoscow" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="1:Moscow"/> </attachment>

So, the engine creates the difference condition.

Idk if you can, but you can try adding a image the way you do for notifications.

Add a image to doc/images must be a png and then add this to one of the lines in the actionstext and see what happens 🙂

<img src="YourImageName.png"/>

I've have had limited success with sounds. Was able to change them in notifications in 2.5 somewhat but haven't had any success in 2.6.

I don't really understand how they work and just copied what Frostion did in Iron War.

Added it to the Global 40 game, as I hate the air raid siren lol

@wc_sumpton

Thank you! I just checked and it worked correctly with the invert! 😁
