Game 1 EXP Trout vs Johnny Cat

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...

@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

@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

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

beelee

@johnnycat

UHD stands for "Ultra High Definition" I think. Black Elk made it for bigger monitors or 5g or idk about all the graphic stuff.

Mac's have historically been problematic with triplea engine.

I will post a step by step here after a bit

Trout

@johnnycat If I understand correctly, you were able to do a test game against yourself on your Mac. So that means the map version you were using for that test game had no issues with your Mac. Unless I am missing something.
