@beelee ye Zdravo is Hello 🙂 so it’s fine

@beelee who is Alex ?

Damn these Macs. I love them; PCs suck a bag of dicks every time. But maybe I should use my high-end graphics pc for this game too because I can’t even get char to work. And that’s weird.

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Hey There - sorry to intrude but I cannot figure out how to write to you directly

QUESTION: would you want to start a game of G40 EXP with me? Thanks

@johnnycat Will do tomorrow. Done for the evening

@Alexander

Good Morning

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0
a guy better be careful where he steps on the E Front. LMs all over the place 🙂

@johnnycat

heh heh well that is a House Rule from a different game 🙂 It's not part of this mod

@nothingtoseehere wow the dice seemed tilted the other way when we were playin tbh lol

not sure if i will have any time to look at it this week super busy but i’ll do my best!

Instructions for Mac users.

First decide where you will put your additional copy of TrippleA, ideally with a version specific name. I put mine in the Applications folder under my user home directory like this:

/Users/simonhibbs/Applications/TrippleA_27_15256

Download the DMG file from the release in GitHub as above.

Go to your downloads directory and find the dmg file, something like this:

848a4f00-3a21-4437-975b-b54ea8f448d5-image.png

Double-click the dmg file and it will open a folder view. This is because dmg files are disk images so it treats it like a drive or folder:

8dac1698-eca2-4859-8fbd-b256f36ff6d7-image.png

Do not run this. Click-hold and drag the TrippleA.app file from the dmg window into the directory you prepared in step 1.

You can now run this copy of TripleA by just double-clicking on the .app file in the folder. The first time this will probably be blocked by the OS. If so, open System Settings and go to Privacy & Security, and you should see a warning like this below. Click on Open Anyway, but only do this if you understands what you are doing and where you got the file from. Please use your own discretion.

ba4bf360-535e-42a4-bc2a-5d7ad3c7b325-image.png

NOTE: This separate version of the game will use the same Engine Settings as any other version on your Mac. This means it will use the same downloadedMaps directory and savedGames folder.

@beelee I’ll issue my orders and await your response.

@crockett36 Happy New Year! The request new features is locked. I was wondering if we could get a breakdown of unit types per nation and per side? Thanks for you help with FGF!

@malmessi

yea I thought about using Hepps train for the image but went with the roundel instead. I think he made those too. I can't remember. I just added the E for the Europe ones.

Edit
It also allows you to move more than 1 Unit with 1 Rail. Should be able to fix that but have had limited success so far, so that is PE as well.

@brandon-finnigan said in Play by Email Dice Verification Concerns:

Any form of: http:// dice. tripleawarclub. org/ is NOT safe and will take you to the sketchy website. It prompts you to download something called SafeWatch, which is definitely malware.

I edited that link in a way, that does not make it clickable ...

@johnnycat said in Curated Best/Top Maps & TripleA Guides:

@rogercooper what ever happened to that France Goes First mod?

It is downloadable.

@trout
Ok I’ll start a new thread, get Germany turn 1 going and we’ll see how this one goes .

How exciting ! Thx a bunch.

@thedog I think you just need to remove the spaces after and before the curly brackets.

@johnnycat you raise good questions:

Is the answer time and programmers? Or just programmers or just time?
Or management ?
Does it come down to Money? If the answers are: yes, no, maybe, and only on weekends, how could I and others help?

Time and programmers is the biggest need. Every bug fix and issue probably takes 2 to 16 hours to fix. This is the biggest gap. Further, TripleA is a larger code base that is very brittle. Making that codebase be easier to work with would help.

Money is useful for keeping the servers running and paying the monthly bills. As much as I would love to be payed for TripleA work, paying any type of reasonable developer wage becomes way too much very quickly.

Additional management would be helpful. Getting issues sorted, cleanly stated, boiled down to a bare minimum would all be helpful.

@samurai-jd

I have not seen substantive changes in AI play whether the Fast AI or the Hard AI is employed.

Shame 😞

All 4 Lend-Lease-Depots are active from turn 1. The USA gives 20pu per turn to USSR whilst Vladivostok is USSR, this is automatic.

Other changes you could make are (line 6764)
<option name="placement" value="Archangelsk:Armor-Med"/>
remove 8pu, change it 9pu

and (line 6790)
<option name="placement" value="Baku-Azerbaijan:Armor-Med"/>

ALthough the 2 Armour-Med is minor it forces resources nearer the west and not the east.
