Screen Won't Center on Capital at Turn Start with Tech Off
-
@cernel
I see, I will start on it later.
Thanks for your trust! -
Another heads up when using this code, unfortunately, when playing by forum, it will ask if you want to post after the added endTurnNoPU step.
It will ask twice with the "are you sure" so it seems better to just one click on the mini map where you wanna go. Make for cleaner play and minimize any confusion.
Works great in local
Idk if the new pre auto centers now or not. Haven't tried it yet -
Using 2.7.15129 there is no centering. Game's start with the map located in the upper left corner. So instead of 'tech' or 'endTurnNoPU' nothing centers on the current players capitol.
Is the desired effect?

The same with 2.7.15064 . So it must have been introduced between 14962 and 15064. -

Oh ? I hadn't been following. I thought it had been addressed. Evidently not.
I'd suggest giving frigoref a ping at the issue. He's been active lately.
Maybe @Panther has more information than I. -
@beelee @wc_sumpton No sorry, I don't have any further insights.

Apparently with
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15494Centering on 1st Capital now works, but I cannot make it happen.
There are some criteria what are they?

We have come full circle. If the map contains skippable 'first' steps, technology, politics, and that 'first' is turned off the map will not center. The only way to ensure that the map centers is to create a 'first' step that cannot be turned off. This is the 'hack' that @beelee and I discussed using "endTurn/endTurnNoPU" which @cernel took issue with.
So, centering again works but only on the players 'first' step. If the 'first' step can be turned off, then centering does not work.
2.7.15494 did not fix the problem, it just reverted back to the 'old' problem.

yea your xml hack worked for centering but I believe you had to double post when playing by Forum or something. I don't remember exactly what it was.

I'm not against hacking per se. I think it should be fine doing it that way until a proper way is available. (I hack stuff too if I'm not seeing any better ways.)
Eventually though, the "endTurn/endTurnNoPU" should better become a step which never causes any centring in my opinion. If that happens, the map-maker who used the hack (which I think is fine) should better just update their maps (removing the now useless steps). No big deal: it's just a visual thing.
