@beelee

Here is my copy of you modified xml.
EXP.2.13.5-17-24.zip
You have 2 steps named "germansPlace" at line 1872 and 1880. There are 137 trigger when calls for "germansPlace". This is going to cause problems.

Why are there 2 Place steps for each player?

Cheers...

Edited post to replace file with new update on removal and replacing Wolfpack unit (lines 44572 through 44604)

Cheers...

Need a little help with escorts/transports/convoys.

yea so supportAttachment can have 1 unit support multiple units but as far as i can figure out, it can't have 2 units support 1 unit.

I think we may have talked about this in the past. Anyway, 1 or 2 Trpts will boost 1 Escort the same amount.

1 Trprt and 1 Escort Escort goes from D2 to D3
2 Trprt and 1 Escort Escort goes from D2 to D3

They also interact with Allied units. So 1 UK Escort could D3 with 1 or 2 USA Trprts present.

The Wolfpacks work great ! I haven't gotten around to adding the variable/element thingy for Paratroopers yet as they're a bit more involved, but I think it should work for them as well.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the Pacific Islands to work using it, but did realize I had overachieved with conditions/triggers for them and reduced them considerably.

Edit
Here's latest if interested

EXP XML 2.161 6-5-24.zip

@VictoryFirst

tweaked the LMs a little. Only works when there's this unit combination but it's not a unusual one

I tried dickin with the LM placement before, but they're just gonna move

Alright, I need to quit messing around and finish place. Do the update.

Panzer ready to battle again I've been getting my ass kicked lately.

Gonna fire the Chief of Staff and send his ass to a Penal Battalion lol

[beelee]

Did an update. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36998/global-1940-and-1943-expansion-for-use-with-triplea

@VictoryFirst unfortunately, the xml changes don't go through but the place does, so, either don't update, use the old place if you do or have place all messed up

Edit
Until were all on the same page again

I'll try and keep this up to date going forward lol

@wc_sumpton
Thank you. I think it's probably just a naming issue ... but haven't dove in yet.

I wonder if I can use "map" with the varaiable thingy. Guess I will try it

Variable thingy?? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Variables and foreach can be used only in the <attachment></attachment> block.

[beelee]

@wc_sumpton

heh heh yea, I just have the TTy names. I was wondering if I put map in, if it would work for all of them.

I think I will just need to add more names to the list

Edit
Hmm ... something happened to Notifications at Game Start. Might not want to use until I fix it or keep 2.2 as well.

Edit 2
So this seems to be a triplea issue. Notifications aren't showing for any maps. I'm going to check the latest PRs that got merged.

Don't see anything there.

@VictoryFirst @Panzerstahl-Helm-0 would you guys start a game from scratch and see if the notifications are working ?

I went back multiple versions and tried other maps as well and they don't for me. I haven't updated triplea either. I'm on 14825

[beelee]

Making progress. Hadn't spent 3 hours on the notification unsolved problem i'd be ... well not almost done but farther along

@VictoryFirst so I'm thinking once I get everything shifted over, the blank space next to the Captain's logo where AG 2 was, we could add the credits for EXP

We could add you and Panzer as triplea testers too, although you play on the real map also. I think Panzer has too. Well, it will differentiate from what the Captain has.
I'd add you guys as Assiting Players if you want. Probably best place for it.

Have to ask @Panzerstahl-Helm-0 too. Would you like to be credited ?

I'm low key, so I won't take up any space.

Will want to run it by The Captain first too. But it's a dead space, so that or a decoration of some sort.

Anyway, we're not quite there yet

Edit

Oh yea, so since idk how to erase or paint over the lines yet, I was gonna leave the 1 box inbetween the Corps and AG 1. Give it to Changer and put his Flag in or something lol

Open to ideas

Edit 2

lol

I'll quit spamming yea right :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[beelee]

@VictoryFirst

hmm ... maybe we can fit you and Panzer in next to The Captain

Kinda tight. I didn't know how to do it, so made it a unit for Changer. You probably do it in 15 minutes lol

Anyway, I called him "TheCaptain" lol Must be too big to show on hover.

[beelee]

@VictoryFirst

here's latest lol

[beelee]

So I'm trying to have French units present activate a trigger for the British. Brits get to buy a token/unit when the map option is on and the turn round is correct. That works.

When I add conditions for the French, it doesn't. I tried cycling through to the French turn, as UK goes before them, but still didn't work.

Pretty sure this is possible, but can't figure it out.

Theses are the French conditions

The triggers

If I remove the French conditions, the UK token will show up for purchase.

This is what I'm trying to do, although i don't think the "ChangesInto" is gonna work as they're different players and units.

Trying for a UK Token to show up in Purchase when the french Units are present in UK. I think that can be done.
