Is this where you want these reported ? I can't edit my posts.

re: where to report
For reporting.. "filing a bug" AKA, creating an 'issue' in in github never really hurts. At this juncture, IMO let's mostly stick to this forum thread. Forum threads do have a weakness where it is hard to maintain a conversation across multiple topics at once. At the same time, I think this thread really has become the "command-and-control" of 2.6; thus let's mostly stick to this thread please.

G 40 wouldn't fire up
Sounds like a problem. I would like to learn more about this.
Also got this error (Expected countries...)
Go ahead and click "Report to TripleA"; later if you would, please find the issue it created & update it with the map name, bot name, etc..
I think they [the bots] need time to switch to the other map maybe.
Good thought, though nothing updates the maps on the bots automatically once they are downloaded. They can be re-downloaded though. That would need to happen. Further, bots need to be restarted to see any changes.
The errors in the bots need to be cleaned up and/or fixed, but are otherwise benign:
[WARN] Error found in ..... "test-map/map.yml"
This comes up when all maps are parsed, and it is essentially saying, "out of all the maps that I have - this one is bad". The test-map is likely not available for play. Which is just as well. The 'test-map' is there for test - during code builds we actually verify that we can pull down and read the details of the test-map.
So, we just need to delete the map from the bots. I think the maps-server was previously configured to ignore it, and the maps.yaml file is not updated to have it -so that map is effectively invisible otherwise.
The 'download maps' scripts also needs to be a bit smarter to not download that map again after we remove it..
[Error] failed to save game
This is more serious, but very fixable. I didn't set up the bots quite fully just yet. The folder '/home/bot' does not exist & needs to be created. That will fix the problem. In the meantime, the auto-saves aren't being saved.

Re: testing 2.6 - help needed! Compat of save games from 2.5 to 2.6
Something that occurred to me. If people can help with this aspect - we need to try and be sure the 2.5 to 2.6 upgrade path is pretty smooth. I'm thinking to make sure that 2.5 save games can be played in 2.6 for sure.
-
@lafayette i think with TWW at least they r not can test if u like but pretty sure
-
@ubernaut only caveat is if something didn't work in 2.5, it might not work in 2.6; Otherwise, I'm really eager to see how the latest 2.6 does in lobby with the 2.6 bots.
2.6 just had a few patches, bots too, & moderator toolbox was recently fixed.
I'm not currently not aware of anything that is badly broken for sure, but you guys are kinda of hinting at some things!
Yeah, mention details of anything that seems broken!
-
well I still can't get 2.5 to install
but I found an old 2.5 save and it loaded up. When I left and came back to it, so I could checkout of the save, it got stuck.
No Action is coming up.
If I leave History, which I thought that was supposed to always show, can't remember, it doesn't give an Action either.
The save just starts immediately, so I can't get out of it
-
sorry, shoulda been more specif.
G 40 wouldn't fire up but UHD did
G 40 Expansion wouldn't fire up on bot1001, where UHD did. It did in 1004. Can see in the above screenshot
-
@lafayette tried running a bot game recently bc we were both having trouble hosting for live battle but i couldn't get it to work i forget what happened exactly with that, but will try next time i meet up with @Nothingtoseehere for battle
-
uh oh 1004 is stuck now. I'm not entirely certain but I thought last night i could get in and out of them. I was on 14752 though. Idk if that matters.
On 14780 now. It seems you can join a bot as long as the Round is 0 or blank and it lets you select a game or a save.
If it's Round 1 though you can't do anything. You can join but nothing else.
Anyway, I won't mess with the next 2 bots for now

No biggie, but the opening post of this thread still redirects to the thread which I've linked, though what has been happening is that (beside other places like GitHub) this matter has been split about in twain between that and this thread (which is in the "News" section, where it seems regular users are unable to edit their own posts based on what @beelee said).

@cernel
I being a normal user also cannot edit posts in this thread, just tried edit on a previous post. -
@cernel Thanks, I'll edit that post now and look to the settings to enable edit in this category for everyone.
-
@lafayette
Edit is now working, thanks!EDIT: Added this line.
-
Curious, has anyone been able to give the latest 2.6 lobby & bots a thorough vetting? Any issues?
-
@lafayette lobby seems fine not had a chance to test bot yet tho
-
@lafayette There are no bots in the 2.6 lobby?
-
yea i've been checking for a week or so or whenever my last post was here and there haven't been any bots.
-
I haven't seen the bots in there in like a week or so; and nobody is really on there ever so I haven't been able to test anything.
-
Updates:
2.6 Bots had crashed - out of disk. Fixed.
Though, seeing new behavior:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/12732Bot games are not ending when all players leave - so no way to end a bot game. I have a tentative fix in progress: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/12733
