Total World War (TWW) 2.7.7.2

redrum

Yeah, definitely a step in the right direction. I think some really good player did mention AA guns were a bit under powered

Hepps

@redrum Really? I remember it being mentioned by a mediocre player recently.

prastle

@hepps Looks good! Testing will prove how nasty they are now that they fire every round.

Hepps

First complete game.

@prastle I assume when you were talking about updating 2.8 that you want the new map to show up when you start triplea or the map update window pops up ?

I checked into it a little and it won't mess anything up if a person is on .7621 it just throws a error and the new map won't play. Everything else will so I don't think that should be a problem, but Idk for sure if one is allowed to update a map that runs on a pre release.

Noticed there were some unit changes as well as xml changes. The major powers had a new BBhit, AC and Heavy tank hit. When I checked the smaller countries that showed changes I couldn't find any new ones so Idk if they use the British hit unit somehow and that's why they didn't show up or ?

Anyway, if we know what was added for sure in the units folder, we can do the poor man click and drag method to upload files as long as there are fewer than 100 total changes. Which it looked as if that might be the case.

Otherwise I need to do it from a termial or switch to windows and use their git desktop I think it's called. Both will take me a while to get up to speed on.

So If @Hepps wants to post the individual unit changes and they're less than 100, we can go the poor man route. Also i guess we need to check if those are the only changes and I didn't miss any others.

@beelee What I was actually meaning is more than an update. @Hepps new version contains both the old and new TWW. We need to upload the file I gave you to the GitHub repo and replace the old TWW. That way people can play either and download it directly over using the sendspace link I gave you. The other reason for this is that many people unfortunately find manual install a pia.

Hepps

@prastle Lets hold off for the immediate time being. In my race to get this completed there are a few things that I failed to look at in detail which now need to be revisited.

beelee

@prastle @Hepps right on. When you guys are ready if you need some help I'll give it my best shot.

prastle

@hepps its in repo now once it is merged
but i will ask for merge to be paused now that I just read this
if you wish. @beelee @roiex showed me how.

@roiex
Regarding, the uploads to this forum.

MS Edge stopped uploading about 2 months ago after it auto updated itself. MS Explorer still works though.

Yup you are correct @General_Zod firefox works as well. I hadn't switched back to it after the new hard drives and clean install.

@Hepps Rule question: Is it considered a legal move to self-destruct units? For example, if I'm Russia, isolated in Moscow with 5 capturable trucks and surrounded by Germans. Defeat is imminent. May I, as the Russian player, edit and remove the trucks on my turn so as to prevent capture by the Germans on my defeat on the subsequent turn?

redrum

@ghostronin I'm almost positive the answer to that is no.

Hepps

@ghostronin Speaking strictly by the rules... no. We never made any provissions within the game for suicide.

That being said.... you can always pass the idea past your opponent. If you are in agreement... then nothing to stop you from making it part of your game. Whether someone who is about to inherit 5 trucks is going to agree to that? That remains to be seen.
