Donation Drive 2024
-
I tried to donate. When I clicked create account and donate... it did nothing
-
@beelee Right now the biggest hurdle seems to be too many want to play, but not enough want to pay. A small community paying will help ensure survival of the community. Perhaps we can do a "suggested monthly donation of X" with people having to opt out if they dont wish to donate.
-
I have had several people willing to donate to me to create a website for the Revised Player Chart that I have created, and I am asking them all to redirect to TripleA. Upon my brief research when planning the site, I am very concerned with the current costs mentioned for hosting. I don't know who is in charge of this or how long contracts are but I would highly suggest looking into alternate providers. Also, I personally run 3 bots on my linux server at home. I can help anyone setup regular bots for the lobby if they have a decent enough system and stable internet. The community should be able to handle the bots IMO, saving a large expense.

@airwalker I am fine with anyone trying a new ladder... The old version i paid myself out of pocket three years ago and runs on go daddy. I am sure cheaper alts are available if others want to maintain it

sadly I no longer have time for triplea other than what I do. Simply put the ladder cost 300 for three years and calculated itself through a prog i purchased myself. I then built the website myself etc to try and replace the old one. I never expected 0 support other than revised.
-
So with all that being said ... I would be happy if anyone took over the ladder and paid for it themselves
-
@prastle Hi prastle, I'm more concerned with the monthly expenses as a whole. I am totally unwilling to accept donations for a website ladder while the game itself is at risk of being buried. If costs could be reduced to a more manageable monthly level, I would be much less concerned.
-
costs here are very manageable.

@airwalker the simple truth is our
users apparently cant afford 2000 a year divided by whatever? lol -
@prastle This statement upon logging into lobby : DONATIONS CRITICAL! WE ARE OUT OF MONEY ON FEB 29 does not inspire confidence in said respect.
-
@airwalker I did not print nor add that to the lobby
-
@airwalker but it is accurate
-
@ all Ty for the sudden 800 in donations. We should have enough cash to last till June. THE REAL ? IS DO WE KEEP THE LADDER? Another 200 bucks

-
I have setup a monthly contribution of $10/month.
-
@prastle I would suggest crediting the supporters of the game and make a decision from there. If you find most of the donations come from players that play a particular map the ladder may not be very useful to them.
-
@eyeswideshut-0 I just donated 100 myself.
NOTE******
The ONLY reason I knew about the need was someone came into my game and posted something. I think the majority of your users actively playing are NOT reading these forums. I HIGHLY recommend having a mod occasionally post the donation link and needs....so many peopel don't know about this.
Also, is there any info/guide on map edditing, or some program? I know a few people are interested in editing/expanding/fixing some maps to create new versions but not sure where to start?
-
@prastle not even sure did u see this?

Correct. Some more information.
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/blob/master/docs/map-making/tutorial/creating-custom-map-xml.md
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/blob/master/docs/map-making/tutorial/map-and-map-skin-making.md(Some information may be outdated: I don't know.)
The official tutorial map of TripleA for map-makers (as @beelee already wrote) is
https://github.com/triplea-maps/the_pact_of_steelwhose tutorial game file is
https://github.com/triplea-maps/the_pact_of_steel/blob/master/map/games/pact_of_steel_2.xmlIf you want to change only the game and not the map (basically more or less like when you make "house rules" in a physical boardgame without changing anything which comes with the box, like deciding to increase the defence value of "infantry" from 2 to 4, for example), you can limit yourself changing the game file, in the "games" folder of the map, with a text editor.
Be sure to change the name of the game before making any changes to it (because you need to make clear that it is not the original, but something you modified).
Feel free to post in the "Map Making" section for anything more on the matter.

I still cannot donate. I tried with my credit card. The system will not take it. Sorry.
