@bluelionman said in Single Play Timer request: I find the biggest issue with me is I over think things and I am hugely indecisive - a bad personality trait. My buddy has that issue. I find it extremely disturbing when he's passing someone on a two lane highway. lol ... This leads to when I play human players they get very frustrated with my slow play. I would love to be quicker but like a smoker without intervention I just can't seem to improve. ...> Hey nobody likes a quitter In all seriousness though, this has been discussed before and I think it'd be a good feature. You'd probably have to search for it, as it's been a while since I've seen it discussed.

@bluelionman You don't need to go for different drives. You can just change the name of the main folder (from "TripleA" to something else). Of course, the way you are doing it works too.

@madvitale I'm not sure how the AI would react. When changing cost you need a new unit. A new unit needs to have everything the old unit does, so quite a bit of work. Transport capacity should be able to be done with conditions/triggers only. I think So not too bad. You have to alter the xml. Explained here: pact_of_steel_2.xml It takes a while to get the hang of, unless you happen to be a triplea savant : ) If you wanna pursue it, people will help.

@LaFayette said in [Open/Need More Info] Guests joining games in progress crash them: I suspect this could be people with the latest pre-release joining the latest release. IMO we should probably update it so that 1.10 clients do not join the 1.9 lobby. Sadly, I have to inform that this (rather major) problem is all the same with TripleA 2.1 (I'm hosting a game with the 20613 development version of it). It happened to me the exact same way less than half a hour ago, and I reported the two main issues (frozen game and inability to save) here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/7199 https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/7200 All or most complaints of lost games in automated hosts happening on the lobby may be caused by this problem. tripleabuilderbot created this issue in triplea-game/triplea closed 2.1.20613: UnifiedMessengerHub#connectionRemoved:167 - ConnectionLostException #7199 tripleabuilderbot created this issue in triplea-game/triplea closed 2.1.20613: GameDataWriter#writeToOutputStream - Error saving game.. could not lock delegate execution #7200

@Cernel said in Add Attackers/Add Defenders in Territory Tab?: I suggest saying "zone" instead of "territory". Even if the TripleA names are (often) wrong, this doesn't mean we have to follow on (obviously, this whole matter has nothing to do with the zone being a territory or not). Agreed. It is somehow a matter of self-control to not be mislead by wrong or at least imprecise terminology used by the software. @Cernel said in Add Attackers/Add Defenders in Territory Tab?: What I believe you are supposed to do is: ... Ah, thank you for that clarification. @Cernel said in Add Attackers/Add Defenders in Territory Tab?: By the way, this is a very good example of a functionality that itself has a high value, yet whose positive value is reduced likely almost to zero by the fact that likely almost all users will not be able to notice or use it (I wonder if I'm the only one using it, at this point!). Indeed. I really try hard to follow every step of development to catch every feature/enhancement for being able to "transport" it to the users. I am a bit worried why I totally missed this one... and start to wonder what else I might have missed...

Also, if I'm being attacked and my opponent loses the battle or retreats, why do I even hear the "Battle Lost" sound? I didn't lose the battle: I won it! Shouldn't this sound be given only to the player assigned to the turn power or, at most, also to the other players of its side only? Maybe the win/lose sounds should be switched over for the opposite side? Opinions?

@Cernel Correct. In newer editions a destroyer - among other things - cancels the submarine's ability to perform its surprise strike. In v2 however, the destroyer enables the sub's casualties to fire back at the normal time in the combat sequence.

@Joe-G You are welcome.

@LaFayette said in Polygon grabber tool issues with islands inside a single territory: The SZ name in territory is used as part of: territory click detection relief image breaker center picker placement picker That list is not fully exhaustive, it gets pretty complex to go down the tree of everything that uses that functionality and then everything that relies on that and so on.. It's a mess that the name of a territory is used at all to determine the territory type, in particular because it is not consistently done in that manner either. Right, that is why I said "mapmaking utilities aside". So, once you have made the map, the only one of these points that matters is the "territory click detection" one, which is the only one I'm aware of, as well, if that comprises hovering the cursor to get information, as well.

There is a DTD, doc type definition that does enforce which XML entities and properties are allowed. I was thinking you meant an XML property as opposed to a TripleA <property> tag. In XML, a property is typically a value after a tag, eg: <tag property=123> When parsing in an enforcing mode the DTD defines which properties are valid and which are not. Though you are right about property name values. An unrecognized one would go unused. EG: <property name='not-recognized'>

Ah, yes, there it is. I had already looked at most of them, but didn't expect the 'setup charts' to be the one with it.

@Anders Assuming that you are using the current release and your mail-address you want to use PBEM for is the same that you used to register with this forum you need to correctly fill out this: Also in your Google account you need to allow "less secure apps", as TripleA here acts like a third-party-email software.

@wirkey That it can't, apparently.

@aardvarkpepper What is a "magic hover spot", exactly? @LaFayette is referring to this special location, where you can put your mouse where it flickers between 2 animation states, which doesn't look nice, nor is it intentional. was grey with text buttons, not all nice with the folders and buttons It still is that way, this thread is discussing future UI improvements.
