@Stohrm What exactly is it you are trying to achieve?

@Joe-Pants said in Switching out default units: @Hepps I still have it as well; is there a new group repository? Here are the relevant links: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/918/map-maker-resources Here it is the one you are asking for: https://github.com/triplea-game/map-maker-assets Here it is the old one, for the units: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tripleamaps/files/developer resources/units/ Are your old units images in there, or were you asking for something else? Going back on topic, I suggest you share your map customization of WAW as a mapskin. This would also make much easier deciding what possibly to integrate into the original skin itself.

@Cernel said in costPU not working in politicalActionAttachment: @redrum This would rise the question, when something is added, maybe just a rewording, to pos (the map), for purely mapmaking purposes, should the download version updated, prompting all users to overwrite it, even if that is actually totally pointless for regular users, as the game or the map didn't change at all (just updating the mapmaking guide within it)? And should the pos2 game version be increased if the file change is merely on the mapmaking guide part? The map did not work at all, it was not just incomplete documentation. But yes, changes in properties should result in updates in POS2 even if the scenario is not directly affected.

@Stohrm Right on. I've made many a blurry eyed mistake myself

@Stohrm Engines like Unity & Unreal are basically physics engines which allow game-play. If you don't need physics, you are better off with an engine that does not have the overhead of a physics engine.

@Stohrm Hi Stohrm. You can mod that as a "Map Option" if you want to.

@NinjaWolfHybrid Let me know if (and especially when) you get around to adding Necrons. Until then it'll be "DoW Dark Crusade" and "DoW Soulstorm" for me.

I think a good example is House of Habsburg. In that one you have "castle" and "cannon", that are both "infrastructures". Once only castles or cannons remain, the enemy captures the castles and the cannons are destroyed (the automatic tooltip for the cannons say "Can be Captured", that I'm sure is going to mislead everyone not knowing the game) (it would be more realistic if cannons change to something you can upgrade back to a cannon). This makes actually sense, in that, of course, the castles don't fight on their own (and you can strip them of virtually all men, to send them somewhere), while an army of only artillery would have such a scarce standing power that making it crumble outright seems sensible (not sure on the fact that, this way, either you lose all your artillery or none of it). Clearly, you cannot say that a "cannon" is an "infrastructure", and saying the same thing for a "castle" is at least questionable, but I'm really not finding a term to define such "stuff", that has the charateristics of having no staying power of its own, while still being able to take part in battles, with other units (like the aaGun), or being completely useless for combat (like the factory). Keeping in mind that they can be living being too (like the "General" of Napoleonic Empires or the "Horse" of Feudal Japan), I really cannot find a term for them.

@LaFayette said in New method for board scrolling: @Cernel you're suggesting that the main map scrolls to the location of the right click? Or are you suggesting that when holding right click the mouse stays stationary and the map moves under it? Maybe these minimap analogies are confusing more than clarifying. Anyways, I was actually suggesting that the cursor "stays stationary and the map moves under it". Thinking again about it, you could also have the initial behaviour (for the initial right click only) of centring the map on the board pixel where the cursor is, while relocating the cursor itself at the centre too, in this case. However, this would raise the issue of what to do if you would have not enough board remaining to actually centre it (say, what should happen if I right click on the 0,0 coordinate of a not wrapping map like 270BC), which would be relevant for any maps not having both X and Y wrapping (I think only "Hexglobe", "Feudal Japan Warlords" and "Conquest of the World" do). On this regard, the centre should be the centre of the view, not the centre of the screen (usually the centre of the view is more to the left, if you have no history bar or the history bar is narrower than the main bar).
