      @beelee Yes, but Holland Belgium not Norway. I am not worried about the Units right now.

        oh right Netherlands 🙂 Sorry didn't mean to piss off the Dutch lol

        Well wc probably chime in at some point.

        Why don't you lay out step by step what you want to happen. Make it super detailed.

        I'll look at it some more. Got a buzz on right now but I think I know what you're after 🙂

          @beelee Alright.

          I am new to map modding/creation. This is a mod for the and Allies 1940 global based map (I think it is the UHD black elk map).

          The Netherlands in a nation in this game by code, but is almost entirely dysfunctional. I added in the purchase phases and made it a nation, and gave it a capital in Holland Belgium. Now when it gets liberated, I want it to become a full ally, but if it falls again, I want it to return to the Custodianship.

          I am doing all of this because I want to learn how triggers and country creation works. I would like to know how to make more advanced maps and by starting with a map that I would just like to edit the rules a bit. While I am here, I would also like to mention that I want china to be able to modernise, but that is something I will focus on later as well.

            I think we @wc_sumpton as I'm probably just confusing you at this point

            I think you are doing just fine! Sort of like the rough in the diamond! 😎

            Playing BM:W, so I'll give this a closer look tomorrow.

            Cheers...

              Update: I figured it out! I had a simple typo in the code, which had both triggers set as triggerDutchCapitalLiberation, when one should have been triggerDutchCapitalOccupation.

              I fixed it though, and here is the code:

              	<attachment name="triggerDutchCapitalLiberation" attachTo="Dutch" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player">
      <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Dutch_Own_Holland"/>
      <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:British:Custodianship:Allied"/>
	  <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:ANZAC:Custodianship:Allied"/>
	  <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:Russians:Friendly:Allied"/>
	  <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:Americans:Friendly:Allied"/>
	  <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:French:Friendly:Allied"/>
	  <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:Chinese:Friendly:Allied"/>
	  <option name="when" value="before:britishNonCombatMove"/>
	  <option name="when" value="before:anzacNonCombatMove"/>
    </attachment>
	<attachment name="triggerDutchCapitalOccupation" attachTo="Dutch" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player">
      <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachment_Dutch_Do_Not_Own_Holland"/>
      <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:British:Allied:Custodianship"/>
	  <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:ANZAC:Allied:Custodianship"/>
	  <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:Russians:Allied:Friendly"/>
	  <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:Americans:Allied:Friendly"/>
	  <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:French:Allied:Friendly"/>
	  <option name="relationshipChange" value="Dutch:Chinese:Allied:Friendly"/>
	  <option name="when" value="before:britishNonCombatMove"/>
	  <option name="when" value="before:anzacNonCombatMove"/>
    </attachment>

              I had to make New Conditions, however:

                  <attachment name="conditionAttachment_Dutch_Own_Holland" attachTo="Dutch" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
      <option name="directOwnershipTerritories" value="Holland Belgium" count="1"/>
    </attachment>
	<attachment name="conditionAttachment_Dutch_Do_Not_Own_Holland" attachTo="Germans" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
      <option name="alliedOwnershipTerritories" value="Holland Belgium" count="1"/>
    </attachment>

              Something else I want to do is make China be allowed to use factories to build equipment, but can not build factories, while being able to build infantry in Szechuan and Hunan, and artillary (while burma road is open) in szechuan without factories there. For example, when China takes a factory it does not get destroyed (done already), and instead it can place planes, tanks, cars etc. but not infantry in the factory, while the infantry can only be mobilised in Szechuan and Hunan, and artillary only in Szechuan.

                Is this a question also? Everything should be doable I think. If you need help with it let us know.

                  Hello, I was working on changing the turn order when I got this error.

                  Could not parse:file:///C:/Users/tank7/triplea/downloadedMaps/mehmetmap.zip/games/mehmetmap.xml, Parsing halted at line: 1447, column: 7, while mapping to: org.triplea.map.data.elements.GamePlay.Sequence, error: ParseError at [row,col]:[1447,7] Message: The element type "step" must be terminated by the matching end-tag " ".  javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError at [row,col]:[1447,7] Message: The element type "step" must be terminated by the matching end-tag " ".

                  I can not figure out what is wrong.

                    looks as if you're missing some quotes '' with the end tag. That should mean at the end of your code, something is missing.

                    Go through your change word by word and have a correct one to compare to while you do it.

                    Or post your xml here if you can't get it to work

                            How do I upload my map so others can download it? Preferably in the experimental area.

                              Yeah a rule of thumb is that when you give something extra information by adding tabbed-in lines, you need to remove the slash from the first line. See another example below:

                              <attachment name="triggerAttachmentExample" attachTo="Germans" javaClass="TriggerAttachment" type="player"> <!-- This misses a slash... -->
  <option name="conditions" value="conditionAttachmentExample"/> <!-- ...because there are lines underneath tabbed in that give extra information to the above -->
</attachment>

                              So that's also why this:

                              <step name="dutchEndTurn" delegate="endTurn" player="Dutch"/>

                              changes into this:

                              <step name="dutchEndTurn" delegate="endTurn" player="Dutch"> <!-- slash removed... -->
  <stepProperty name="turnSummaryPlayers" value="ANZAC:Americans:French:Dutch"/> <!-- ...because there is now this line here -->
</step>

                              How do I upload my map so others can download it?

                              The first step is to upload the map to a GitHub repository. Then, you should contact RogerCooper on this forum and ask him if you can add your repository to the TripleA map collection: https://github.com/triplea-maps

                                  @victoryfirst Thank you!
                                  My map isn't near finished though, it is becoming a really big project now. Would you by chance know anything about changing how sound works? I am experimenting with adding background music that plays every turn for certain powers, but I am not sure how to get the sings to repeat. I have been able to add my own background music, but it only plays once for every power before ending. I could make them really really long, but it would make the file too big to download. Any thoughts?

                                    @tanq78 Yes, you need a sounds.properties folder which looks like this:

                                    Using the map "Aggression 1942" as an example here which uses several custom sounds.
                                    1211d681-4b80-49ea-adbd-a1d3189946a8-image.png

                                    The second thing you need is a sound folder where all the sound files are stored.

                                    1f33cb6b-1104-4422-a958-9acdf949ec24-image.png

                                    So to give some explanations, each event in TripleA has a name. The start of someone's combat phase is "phase_move_comat", when something is placed into the sea is called "placed_sea", etc.

                                    In the sound.properties folder, you simply need to type the game event name, followed by an '=', and then the full name of the sound you want to use for that event.

                                    You can use more sounds for the same event, in which case you need to separate them with a ';'. The engine will then randomly select one (can be useful for land battle sounds).

                                      Re background music

                                      I suggest you have a soundtrack of your background music that is as long as possible, and use it for game_start, then I'm fairly sure it will play throughout the whole game. I don't think it should have that much effect on the download time if you compress it. However such a sound might be annoying for people as the sound will just continue even if you close the game. Only when you close TripleA the sound will stop.
