Bids system still here?

@thedog
My Mac OS, 11.7.10 won't allow me to run the update.

[TheDog]

Im a Windows user, so no real help.

What happens if you click on Show in Finder?

Can you manually force it to download, cause we Windows have to do something similar.

[Stu_the_K]

@thedog I called Apple and they told me the way to force allow it was to hold the Ctrl key and then right click and pick Open and it gave me an option to by pass that. (Interesting that it is the Ctrl key and not the Command key).

But then I got an error that the list of names didn't dl. I clicked the link and it took me to a map download page, but I don't see the download with the list of names.

I also tried to report it to TripleA using the link in the error message but it said I needed a GitHub account. I just created one, but it won't let me log in despite being 100% sure I'm typing in my name and password.

BTW, how do I edit a post I did? I forgot to also say there was only 1 link in your post, to the game update, but not to the game you think I should try. Please post that.

[TheDog]

Sadly TripleA 2.6 downloads are not working and you have to manually add the maps to your playable maps.

As a windows user I dont know where the default install for Mac maps is.

Windows maps are here;
C:\Users\PC-USERNAME\triplea\downloadedMaps

I just checked on GitHub your post did not make it there.

For another day just logging on to GitHub directly using
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues
But you dont need to as you will get more help here on the TripleA forums.

@thedog I got it to load and it says I'm running 2.5.22294.

I finally got to a place to add maps and I chose the Classic, but now I have 2 of them each. How do I get rid of the duplicates?

Also, I like to play the original version where Russia gets to move first. I didn't see that in the Classic package or anywhere else. How do I dl that?

Also, what is the name of the map you suggest I try? (And will it run on my version?)

Finally, is there a way to edit a post in case I want to add to it or find a typo?

[TheDog]

TripleA 2.5.22294 is the current version most players use.
TripleA 2.6.xxxxx is the new pre-release.

They both share the same maps folder.

To remove duplicate maps, its a manual process go to the maps folder and delete the map you dont want.

I cant help with the map your after, I dont play A&A board games or for that matter TripleA equivalents.

To play my map you need 2.6 as only 2.6 has the new 'isAI'.

I will post later re editing on GitHub

[Stu_the_K]

@thedog I uninstalled my old version and now I have 2.6.14611 and that got rid of the duplicates.

What is the name of the map you suggest I play?

[TheDog]

@stu_the_k Hi stu

To edit a post here, click on the 3 dots to the bottom right of your post

[TheDog]

@stu_the_k
Both places hold the same map version.

The Google Drive is easier, it will download to your browser downloads folder.

then click green <> Code
then Select Download ZIP

I finally got it all downloaded and running. It seems massive, but extremely impressive. I only glanced at it but I love the idea of blockades and different factory types.

I grew up in Detroit in the ‘50’s-‘60’s but went to school in Miami in ‘73 and have lived in Florida ever since, so I was also busy getting an early Xmas present from the Lions and the Fins. :-). But, I’ll definitely check it out. I’ll probably play the mini-map first to knock some of the rust off as I haven’t played in years, and that was with the original Triple A game. So I’ve never even played with artillery or destroyers, etc. So this vastly more complex version will take a while for this old dog to learn some new tricks.
