Re: 1) really depends on the copyright that Slitherine Corp is using. They very likely have a commercial copyright. TripleA is GPLv3. Simply attributing the images is not enough. Re: 2) Uploaders generally assume any copyright risks. Copyright infringement is bad news "The law provides a range from $200 to $150,000 for each work infringed." Best case you're given a cease and desist, worst case you are sued for copyright infringement. Unless you have written permission that the images are in public domain, I don't think you can nor should use them.

2.0 has a new XML option canRetreatOnStalemate. We can use that to explicitly allow conscripts an option to retreat on stalemate. Is there consensus to enable it, or just leave be?

@wc_sumpton Heh heh Thanks again for bailing me out. I was getting ready to dive in on separate for everyone

@RogerCooper Right, but the point here was that, in a somewhat realistic game, by the time you reach the point in which Germany "collapses", the player playing that side would have already surrendered, thus you would virtually never actually reach the point.

This map looks quite cool. It's sad that it was never rendered fully playable. I'm trying to modify it a bit and see how it turns out.

Indeed, having the 13066 behavior for the active player was the important part.

I've been working on the offensive subs submerge/withdraw step and discovered that my idea of having a unified valid() check that works for both getNames and execute won't work. In the offensive subs submerge/withdraw step, execute shouldn't run if there is a destroyer present. But getNames is called at the beginning of the round and there might be a destroyer present that will die before execute is called. If getNames doesn't return the submerge/withdraw step, then an error will occur. I was actually able to trigger this error from the master branch when Submersible Subs is false, Sub Retreat Before Battle is false, and a destroyer is present at the beginning of the round but then is destroyed during the round. If Submersible Subs is true and Sub Retreat Before Battle is false, then this error doesn't occur because it doesn't check for destroyers. I'm going to be removing valid() as a public method from the BattleStep interface. Instead, getNames and execute will do their own internal valid check. This check might be the same or different, depending on the step.

"Exception on remote" just means that the error wasn't actually on your machine, but on a remote machine like a bot instead so just based on this message I can't really tell which error you mean. In case you mean this error, it should be fixed in the latest pre-release: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/6689 tripleabuilderbot created this issue in triplea-game/triplea closed 2.0.19836: MustFightBattle#findAllies:809 - NullPointerException #6689

Hi there, anyone interested in a 1940 Global 2nd Edition PBEM? Dice, bid, no tech. Contact me under toni_ailton86(at)yahoo.de

@Cernel said in Where do I change map "version" so that "update" option is available: I realize this is off topic. Agreed.

@redrum @Cernel Hi, I'm just a newbie into all this. Do you know if there is any development about being able to use these special Sub abilities? If I want to restrict Subs in First Strike phase to only hit surface warships, excluding aircraft (of course) and submarine (also), do you believe this small step can be more easily implemented? It will not add another screen, or other phase at all. Just make aircraft and Subs not available as valid target.

@Michael-Hoover Currently TripleA asks if you are sure inconsistently. For example, you are not asked if you are sure when you decide to end the Research Technology phase buying nothing, while, instead, you are asked if you are sure when you decide to end the Purchase Units phase buying nothing.

@Hepps thanks bud appreciate the effort

@Cernel For example, if I'm making a game that is not exactly "chess", I would call it "chess" if the ultimate aim is for it to be exactly like "chess", and maybe this is just impossible, due to the limitation of the program. On the other hand, I would not call it "chess" if it is a game inspired to "chess" but deliberately made different in some ways.
