Need a little help with escorts/transports/convoys.

Escorts buff transports and transports buff escorts. This can be done with supportAttachments like artillery and infantry. What is the need for the Escort_Convoy, as Convoy is just the name of the rule the governs escort and transports?

Cheers...

This topic should be moved Maps & Mods, I have created a new topic called Global 40 Expansion UHD Boxes, since this discussion centers mostly on that map.

Thank you!

Cheers...

@nothingtoseehere not final yet still in flux tbh

@ondis there is https://discord.gg/PRtexuSprq already, but it's not very active

@ondis
Fine.

It seems like it is soft-launch and/or hard launch time for TripleA.

Next steps:

(soft launch) update build config such that every update to the code creates a new "release" instead of a "prerelease". This update itself will be considered an update, and there-after the 'download' button from the TripleA website will download the very latest TripleA

(hard launch) update 'servers-config' to indicate 2.6 as the latest version, this will trigger 'your TripleA is out of date' messages to the 2.5 users

Didn't know where to put this but News and bug reports won't let one make a topic, so here it is

There is the post for 'how to submit' these:

Though, I've no idea if the trade-off of trying to centralize bug reports is still worthwhile. In part the goal is to try and get mosty high quality bug reports, such that both reporter and fixer can spend a minimal amount of time on overhead and spend the bulk of their efforts in an actual fix (in other words, high communication efficiency).

Regardless, I believe this issue was recently fixed. Try with the very latest @beelee

@dor20 said in Mute Dialog Boxes:

i accidentally clicked peace! im just glad its a game and not real life.

hmm ... well better than if you accidentally picked war

😂

glad you found a solution 🙂

I cannot reproduce these errors/click throughs.

I'm on 2.6 14729, so maybe thats the difference, as your on 2.6 14727, could be worth updating?

Yeah I mean I guess that's the drill.

Currently seems like tripleA is kinda FHD limited there. A smaller sized display with higher pixel density doesn't give many options right now. It's basically a choice between enlarged text/tables in the UI for readability, or a loss in graphical fidelity for anything that isn't font. I can make a map for a QHD, UHD, 4K whatever, but it's limited by what the UI can do there for scaling, and also for the unit graphics dimensions/upscale.

1080 is still around for sure, like that snowboard was definitely built to last hehe. I was playing BG3 in 1080 for a while, but for tripleA it isn't like trying to find a buttery smooth framerate for animations and cutscenes, but just sorta just updating the dimensions of those little tab windows I guess, to raise the roof beyond the 54px limit, or to get some better interpolation going on there. Currently the same graphics shown on the map will a lot cleaner, even when at the same scale/same image as the UI element (like in the stats bars, purchase screen, combat windows etc.) you can kinda do the side by side, to see where the pixelation is coming in.

For now recommended settings for tripleA would be HD/FHD with a display scale at 100% I guess. For the 2K jump still pretty beta, needs more elbow grease hehe

Hi @thesnapking

Idk if this will help but ... 🙂

I'm using the prerelease as an example.

DL triplea you get this

Open terminal and put the triplea dl in it

Should end up here

I installed to a different directory, just added the pre number to the end of existing.
Click your way to Finish and hit that and it should fire up.

Anyway, hope it helps. If not we'll ask someone else 🙂

Edit
Also, I think triplea has java built into it for the right version when you DL it.

@azimuth
[[laughs]] that sounds like a nightmare. i feel like the objective for it would end up being 80+% of the xml file... (not ALL the territories - just the land ones...)
i'll most likely be the only person who ever plays this mod and i tend to ignore victory triggers anyway - i'm a conquer the whole world kinda player. 🙂

@wc_sumpton Great news! Thank you!

@azimuth Remember software isn't released, it escapes. Good luck with your project.

Good advice from both of you. I agree, it will be much better with transparency, so i am willing to go for that for my final version.
As for my version 0.2, half of the models with background are finished so i will just finish the rest too. Even without transparency the map will be much more fun to play that way.

I will probably look into greenfish already while workig on 0.2, to see if i get a hook on it.

@edit:
Oh one more thing:
I found that i can make the background the same color as the map territories, belonging to the respective race. So the Empire background is the same grey as the empire territory, so it looks like tranparency as long as you do not go on allied territory.

Cheers

@jkprince havent been doing much lately, here is some pixelart that might find its way in as unit sprites

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 2.6.14719, time: 9:32:49 AM
Savegame

I am reactivating this old thread to post the results of some experiments with the AI's and see how they compare in actual games.

My first experiment

Scenario World at War Variant - v3
https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/World_At_War_Variant_-_v3
Version 2.6.14696
Results Hard AI did better. When the Allies used Hard and the Axis the used Fast, the Axis was too aggressive in Eastern Europe initially, which the Russians exploited successfully, overruning much of Eastern Europe.

Both AI's played the Americans poorly, building land units and transports without bringing them across the Atlantic.

@ubernaut he did on git a few times but I don't ever remember seeing him here.
