@panther Does this mean, that PBF is possible again with the newest pre-release? If so is there still an issue with loading maps on pre-release versions of the client?

Yes, PBF is possible with the current pre-release, indeed.
In order to download maps you need to alter a setting in the Engine Preferences.
In the tab "Testing" switch "Lobby URl Override" to "Pre-Release".

However @redrum suggested a patch version above - that might at the moment be preferable rather than a pre-release.

@panther I made another fix for the new nodeBB version and it was just merged: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/10206

I tested myself and was able to post to A&A.org with the latest pre-release. I would appreciate if a few others can test it to verify then we can look to release a patch version with the fixes.

Very cool! Thanks a lot. I have tested prerelease 2.6.616 on axisandallies.org/forums successfully. Now it works as expected.

Yes a patch version would be very welcome!

@redrum what exactly would like me to test? sorry, i can be slow sometimes 😉

The test is about using the current TripleA pre-release with PBF on axisandallies.org/forums.

That is great because while able to do this manually it is much more of a pain than being able to push a single button to post. Thank you in advance for getting this fixed!

Unfortunately this fix doesn't work as expected.
I have just verified
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/10117

and can confirm it with 2.6.571.

Anyone else tested PBF on A&A .org using a current prerelease?

I just want to bring this issue back to attention. It seems like we get no answer to the question how close a 2.6 release actually is.

This seems to indicate that it might be useful to push an updated 2.5 stable.

I merged it. Do you know if we are close to pushing out a release? Otherwise, we should probably consider putting that fix into 2.5 and pushing it out.

If you have like 5 Minutes, please feel free to review it, it's a rather small change. Not really clean but it should work for now

If the current master isn't in a good state to release soon then it might be better to patch the current release version and release that.

Idk if that's simple or not. People would still need to DL the new one but without the 2.6 stuff that is still being worked on.

Thank you.

Unfortunately no one has merged this until now.
Can you maybe self-merge this?

However, this would result in another 2.6 -prerelease - so in a version that for other reasons currently can't be recommended for general usage, at least as far as I understand it. Any chance we can have sort of a fix that runs with the current stable?

Where's the entry point for this code? E.g., where I can see the forum posting workflow?

Presumably we'll need to handle both formats; I think 2.6 will precede the forum upgrade. To handle this in code it will be seemingly ugly as the code will have to do things like "is this map?" no, okay, "is this a list?"

Then you can use a factory method to return the correct instance based on a key. In this case the key could be some constant that represents the forum in question.

I don't know how we can preserve 2.5 to still work after updating the forum software.
