Game 1 EXP Trout vs Johnny Cat

[beelee]

@johnnycat

heh heh I think it'll take a little longer than this to claim Victory

You should post your turn so we know it works and if your confidence is founded

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee Of course, that was just OSS launching their PsyOps campaign to get Hitler to make a silly mistake... Like invading Russia in the winter...

[JohnnyCat]

What is this particular game (you guys call it a "map" I guess) called?

I downloaded the game save from Tasty Fish and could not get anything to run without grave errors that crashed TripleA

Thanks

[JohnnyCat]

[JohnnyCat]

Seems clear to me that I do not have the correct map nor do I see it on the list of possible downloads in TripleA

Is there a direct way to get the correct Map?

Thank you

[JohnnyCat]

GLOBAL 40 Expansion UHD BOXES

Does not exist in my TripleA and I cannot find it...

[JohnnyCat]

update.

[JohnnyCat]

Anyone know why I am not allowed permission to delete my previous posts ?

[Trout]

@johnnycat Good morning Mr. Cat. Please continue with your Psy Ops. I may have some myself later but for now that intel is only in the hands of the grumpy Waffen fellows. Did you download the map? What version of the map do you have. I am on Map version 2.5.2. To make things easier for your first game I would suggest that you let me know what Map version you are on and we will play the game with that.

[Trout]

@johnnycat Also is your PC Windows-based? I am on Windows but Beelee isn’t so some of his screen shots won’t look the same if you are using the evil Bill Gates software

@beelee

The xml no longer works for TripleA version 2.7.15278. I have already logged the problem in GitHub.

Cheers...

[beelee]

@trout

Which triplea version are you on ? I'm still using 14962. Either one will work.

@JohnnyCat

There seems to be a problem with the triplea version you have. Here's the one I'm using https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.14962

So dl this version and overwrite your current one. Here are manual instructions to dl the map directly from git if you are still having trouble finding it in triplea.

Edit
Looks as if frigoref has a fix in. @JohnnyCat give this one a try https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15279

Edit 2
@JohnnyCat One can't delete posts in the pbem/pbf threads but you can edit them.

Edit 3
There is no installer for the latest. Just use the 14962 link

[Trout]

@beelee Beelee, he's on the same TripleA version as me 2.7.15256 which I have been using for quite awhile without problems. I think the issue is the map version. I am on 2.5.2 but he may be on 2.5.1. TripleA is a real pain to set up when first getting started so to make it easier, if we find out what map version JC is using, I can just play the game with him on his map version

[Trout]

@beelee His screen shot shows that he is on G40 Expansion UHD Boxes so I don't think that's the issue either

[beelee]

@trout

I suggest using the latest map version. It's not that difficult to download.

Edit
@JohnnyCat

Start a local game and let us know what map version it is. It will tell you on the first prompt.

As you can see in the above it is version 2.52

Stay with us brother We'll make it happen

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee ok ill give this a try over the next couple hours. Thanks !!!!!!

[JohnnyCat]

@trout I use Macs and avoid Windows if possible. But I can use it if necessary

@beelee said in Game 1 EXP Trout vs Johnny Cat:

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15279

I am CLUELESS as to what to do...

Installed the latest tripleA version 2.7.14962

Tried to uninstall the Global 40 Expansion UHD (what a silly name. And what is this UHD thing mean?) and triplea said I removed it, but then said I had it, but then said I did not, blah blah ... just wacky behavior and I was unable to find any way to download the Global 40 UHD Boxes

I am on a Mac and this game has worked find for me in the past but now I cannot even find anything that allows me to install the game/map...

[Trout]

@johnnycat That’s wise. I am pretty sure Windows is not necessary for me to kick around some American GI’s in a game of G40. Hah!

[JohnnyCat]

It seems clear that I do not have the latest map and do not know how to get it since the usual way, via the tripleA program, does not seem to find it.

So is there some manual way to install the correct map? On a Mac I should add...

THank you
