@beelee Hey brother. Got a question in the event the Yanks decide to liberate the Brits and Scots. I believe the Home Defense rule is only applied once in the game. Is that correct? Thinking of a scenario where you would capture UK and I don't attempt to counter-attack until after UK builds some troops there. If that happens, I believe the Tommies would only defend at 2 not 3 right?

@johnnycat Glad you got there okay. Yes, enjoy the fried scorpions and all of that other wonderful cuisine that you can't get here in USA 🙂 You are correct. I missed that you had posted R3. Did J3 now. Decided to stay at peace with the USA. If I promise to not attack Hawaii and just stomp on Australia and other places can we agree to remain at peace? You are from Cali so I assume you are pro-peace yes??? I can even agree to send FDR a daily supply of sushi and green tea for him and his dear Eleanor. See how gracious our Emperor is 🙂

@nothingtoseehere not yet may need to keep that in my back pocket for the future 😉

@lafayette maybe i’m mistaken i figured u needed to create GitHub account in order to use the bug report forms

@ted-self
Im glad you like the map and it has got you all excited 😁 even at your age.

It was exasperating and fun to design the map.

If you want another steep learning curve map that will challenge your grey cells then try 1941 Global Command Decision

@lafayette

Right arm. Yea I hadn't been on 2.7 lobby for some time. I remember there were some there for a while but they were limited in how they performed.

Keep up the good work !

💪

If this is the latest documentation it will need amending to reflect your post above.
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/blob/main/docs/map-making/reference/map-yml-file.md

I see 'version' is in the docs, that should be taken out.. The rest of it at a glance looks okay. Was there something else in there that needs updating? As far as YAML goes, it's a question of the differing formats. In the shorthand format, the quotes are needed so that YAML knows where the field ends. In the long-hand format, with 'map_name' on its own line, YAML infers the data type based on the first character of the value. So, it can tell the value is text, and YAML treats the rest of the line as text.

A lot of maps, map.yml format will be like mine, single player there appears to be no problem. However will the new 2.7 lobby work correctly?

There are going to be two servers! The lobby server and "support server". It was planned to have 3, {lobby, support, maps}, but maps & support were combined.

Immediately, the support server won't be able to index maps that have a bad map.yaml file. Those maps won't be listed as available for download. Locally, eventually the map will be invisible to the game itself. I think there is some flagging put into the code right now to use the old map loading system. In short, it will become a problem soon.

After the 2.7 launch, I have high on my list to try and provide a map indexing status page of some sort. I recognize that process is pretty opaque right now.

@panzerstahl-helm-0 Thanks. I see you have quite a game going on with Alex right now. But whenever you want to start up a Game 3, I am ready. I usually have a bit more time for our hobby during the holidays as I work in an industry that slows down quite a bit at this time with folks taking vacation time.

@rogercooper thank you so much!

@crockett36 scramble orders for 110 and 111?

@rogercooper said in Polygon Grabber Missing:

2.7.15204

It was really helpful knowing a known good version too! This and the screenshot and the terse statement of the problem were kinda perfect 😄

@wc_sumpton
Another rabbit out of the hat!

I thought this was not possible because of multiple capitals for a nation.

Next release will have the above in and links to 2.7.15025
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15025

As this release gives centering focus on active player's capital at the start of their turn.

@panther
Thank you and @LaFayette for looking into and talking care of this.

Happy Thanksgiving to both and your families.

Cheers...

@johnnycat

No way !!!

Ask away 🙂

Start a new game and screenshot the Naval Mines

testing to see if I can delete a post

edit
I can't 🙂

@simon-hibbs
It should all be in the documentation, best to give it a read and in game use the tool tips.

@simon-hibbs

Don't feel bad, me and @beelee have talked at great lengths about our 'Duh' moments. I feel like I haven't learned something if I haven't slapped my head a couple of times. In a pinch a solid wall will also suffice.

Cheers...
