Can we fix TWW?

@zlefin The file name has an additional . at the end. I had to remove it and replace the original file then it worked and I tested that carriers no longer get replaced with damaged carriers without the tech.

Ok, odd how that happened; I fixed it and put in an uploaded version with the proper name. I don't think lafay has been on so it shouldn't be a problem for anyone.

I am not sure how I can download the fixed version of TWW from its present bugs.

Can anyone explain, since it does not seem included yet in the downloadable maps?

Hi @shonn

Idk if this is the latest but it's the latest on github. https://github.com/triplea-maps/total_world_war

Hit the green Code button and then Download Zip.
Open zip and rename the folder by removing the "-master" at the end.

Open triplea folder and go to downloadedMaps.
Replace your TWW

Might want to save the old one just in case

I think @ubernaut should know which is latest. Unless I've confused him with someone else

@shonn the link is in this thread:

@ubernaut This is exactly the thread and I've not found a link that gives me a download.
I get some XML new webpage at best in a link above.

ubernaut

@shonn u need to download that file and replace it inside the folder

Shonn

@ubernaut Thanks, I should have managed. I was simply 'opening' it in the browser instead of 'saving the link'.

@ubernaut I think redrum used to play TWW could ask him to add it to git. Might make it a little easier for people

ubernaut

@beelee i think @zlefin i just waiting for us to confirm fixes and any new problems

zlefin

That is correct; I've found noone to do any test games with myself in the lobby, so ubernaut's game plus my own internal testing verifying the bugs themselves were fixed is all we've got. So I'm waiting for ubernaut's game to finish; though we could go ahead with it now.

ubernaut

@zlefin so far the only additional issue ive seen is that bug that allows you to move a bb after it was in a battle

beelee

Yea, I'd suggest to just go ahead and update it to git. You can fix errors and update after you do that as well.

Probably would make it more accessible.

@beelee So. our first game with the new XML has finished see here. During that game, I changed computers and forgot to replace the original with the bug-free XML from here. So we currently are in the next game and because of the old XML the bugs especially the carrier bug is still occurring. Right now in Japan 1. I already replaced the xml again so the problem is apparently with the save. There is no workaround to update to the new XML in a game that's already started, is there?
In any case, it's probably a good idea to finally update to the bug-free XML in the repository instead of relying on word of mouth and manual downloading from here to make sure this doesn't happen again.

yea can't do it. Can change units and placements and stuff. Basically everything other than xml.

J1 I'd just bite the bullet and restart. It's a long game, probably take a couple months anyway.

hmm ... idk who is in charge of TWW anymore. Used to be hepps but he's not been around for a while. Hope he's doing ok. Cool dude.

Edit
maybe @RogerCooper or @TheDog can help with the map update ?

RogerCooper

@beelee If you are changing a lot, it should be new xml file and game name or even a new folder in the repository.

beelee

@rogercooper

yea just to clarify, I'm not doing any work on the map.

looks like it has already been updated. just need it updated to triplea

ubernaut

@rogercooper i believe all @zlefin did was patch the bugs that came from engine changes in 2.6
