@Hepps :)

If it is feasible, just disable spacebar from doing anything else than typing when in the chat thing right of "Send" you have anything already written down (meaning that it is not blank).
Basically, the engine would test if that is blank, and spacebar would confirm nothing if it is not.
No clue if doable.
Assuming nobody wants to start a chat message with spaces, then that would be fully safe.

@LaFayette said in Ideas for a 'show combat' button?:

@redrum Always on-top could be an option, yes. IIRC there was an issue where multiple always on top windows competed, so long as that is not the case that is a good alternative.

It was me that reported that issue relatively to the "Game Notes" window. The case is different here, and I suggest having the on top and, then, see if it causes any issues or not. I think that if the window closes automatically when the battle is over, then there should be no issues at all for sure.

But, we also should consider the spectator case, an always on top combat window would be really annoying, so some conditional logic would seem called for to always on-top only if you are involved in the battle.

As long as you can still click to minimise the window, I believe that is not a problem. Anyways, if it is feasible, I agree to limit the always on top for the two referring players of the battle only, of course.

@David_VanDyke I don't believe anyone is currently working on it but I think we have a general consensus on the 2 main ways to implement it from this post: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/212/moderate-luck-option/20

Its hard to say if/when someone will pick it up to work on it but it is on the unprioritized feature list: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/182/guidelines-and-feature-request-list

I'm currently working on: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/159/tuv-for-units-that-have-consumesunits-property

I may eventually make a poll for folks to vote on feature requests they'd like to see prioritized.

@Nedhudir-Falasren Not sure. You'd need to determine who was building and hosting the TripleA version for Raspbian. We only host the following downloads located here: http://www.triplea-game.org/download/

You are free to build your own version from the source code as well: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea

Updates to the POS2 XML: https://github.com/triplea-maps/the_pact_of_steel/pull/2

@AARommel You can either go to the forum section: https://forums.triplea-game.org/category/21/play-by-email. Or check out A&Aorg: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?board=52.0. Most folks prefer play-by-forum over play-by-email now but they are very similar.

@prastle Thanks a lot! Happy to be part of it.

@prastle Bro, thanks for our epic game, Well done and good job! See you again son, gg

@Cernel what a nice guy! ;p

@LaFayette You can customize the color scheme of any L&F and making nimbus darker is described here:

@Cernel
Bingo. I got an error when viewing the history, the top line was about the image not being available, but what actually caused the error is something else

@prastle they are back up

@Hepps There shouldn't have been. If you notice issues please report them.

@humbabba yes we cannot reset the lobby passwords to old names atm I am SORRY!. It is being worked on.

@Grimalkinii that was my next question
Have you checked to see if your maps need updating :)

Hmm networked maybe live no.

But you do both need to have the same stable engine and map version to launch live! Thus I would guess the same is needed in a networked game. I haven't played a networked game in hmm, omg, 9 years at least with triplea. Back then the maps came in the download.

Also to note! With the new engine you do not have to delete. Just use the in game downloader and check for updates. If you need an update it overwites the old map file. Sadly it only checks itself on the first of the month. If you click ignore it doesnt check for another month. JFYI

GLHF glad ya got it fixed

@CrazyG
I hope you will soon have an hour or so to spent ;-) I have tested out two SS-Potential replacement triggers, so it works with two territories right now. They work if they look like this:

@redrum Yes. It had been preventing the placement of the naval assault marker for reasons I do not recall. It only required a small tweak to the game XML.
