How to add to Big World Variations

[RogerCooper]

@rogercooper Changed the version number. You should be able to update it using the downloader once the change is accepted. You could also remove the mod and download it again.

I couldn't find the repo in triplea-maps. So can he just update his repo and then do a PR with the new version number in the yaml ? His repo doesn't need to be part of triplea-maps ?

Anyway, it's merged.

@thehobbesian this is what you need to change in the yaml. The pencil icon will allow you to edit it. I believe anyone can but not 100% certain on that.

You can see Roger did it here

Edit
Also, as Roger stated, you can just redownload the map once the repo has been updated. The yaml just lets people know there is a new version.

Edit 2
@thehobbesian I DL'd it but don't know if it's the new version or not. There's really no easy way to tell. I add a notification at game start saying what version and the date it was first uploaded.

I also document it in the changelog in the Game notes.

Edit 3
OK it looks like the latest. This is your last commit and here it is in the Game Notes

Yea triplea had a major update recently and the way maps are uploaded has changed. I haven't looked at the new process that closely but if it was able to download before, it should work on the update too.

I will ping @rogercooper @thedog for you

Hi! Sorry to bother again. I'm trying to play the mod with a friend but its not showing up for either of us on the latest version of TripleA. Is there anything I can do to get it back up and available?

Tha map is here, so can be downloaded manually.
https://github.com/ClavintheGreat/thehobbesians_1939

I think it to make it downloadable for all, it needs to change the repository from main to master
I dont have permission to do this.

Here is the instructions for a rename.

[thehobbesian]

@TheDog alright I've renamed it from main to master (and made a small balance fix that was long overdue), let me know if that worked!

@rogercooper
Do you have permission to copy/move this map
https://github.com/ClavintheGreat/thehobbesians_1939
to
https://github.com/triplea-maps
?

[RogerCooper]

@TheDog On vacation. Will check when I return.

[thehobbesian]

@RogerCooper enjoy your vacation!

[RogerCooper]

@thehobbesian I have confirmed that I already have the mod downloaded to my system and I have added this to my queue of TripleA things to do.

[RogerCooper]

I put it onto github under https://github.com/triplea-maps/thehobbesians_1939. I will add to the in-game downloader tomorrow.
