Game 1 EXP Trout vs Johnny Cat
-
yea so start a local game of "Global 40 Expansion UHD Boxes"
What comes up when you do that ?
Oh 49ers MNF
Was a poorly played game by both teams -
Ahh I just looked at your picture again. It says you have 2.52 in the Change Log.
I am going to start a game for us and we will see if we can get it to work
Edit
I will need your Marti email to set it up -
I can load various game saves of my own so the issue seems to be related to when I load this save of our first turn from @Trout
But Trout just saved his first turn as normal... Also I logged a bug fix as you can see
-
You are reporting on an error with version 2.7.14962. The cause of this error,
ERROR o.t.game.client.HeadedGameRunner - null java.lang.NullPointerException: null. This is a null value stored in the saved game header and has already rectify. This may make some newer version save incompatibility with older versions. This 'save incompatibility' does not happen all the time. @Trout is using 2.7.15256, you @beelee are using 2.7.14962. Ask @beelee if he can open the save game, I could not using 2.7.14962. I was able to use 2.7.15025 and load @Trout's da2aa41c-2e53-4842-b48e-19ad613c9a5a-exp-game-1-jc-g1.tsvg saved game.
Even though a higher version can open a lower version save, the reverse may not hold true.
Hope this is helpful, please direct any further inquiries regarding this matter directly to your in-game representative
@beelee 
.Cheers...
P.S. A 2.7.15025 save was still incapnot work able with 2.7.14962, so reposting a save will not help. Everyone needs to be on the same map version because the saved game contains a lot of map specific information and can cause a lot of incapability issues. Also 2.7 higher 15026 may not work with lower versions. Although this issue is kind of hit or miss.
Again Cheers...
And etcetera...
It was this saved game, da2aa41c-2e53-4842-b48e-19ad613c9a5a-exp-game-1-jc-g1.tsvg, from @Trout that has been the bane of my past few days. It will not work with 2.7.15278 because of an 'any' problem, won't work with 2.7.14962 because of a 'null' in the save file header.
Please, please... help @JohnnyCat, get this game rolling. Give a guy (me) a breakCheers...

Good Afternoon Gentleman
Yea I couldn't get Trout's save to work either when he first posted it. So It must be the triplea engine versions.
Trout had recently updated but our current game continued to work, so i didn't give it much thought.
I'm not really sure the status of the latest prerelease, so @Trout , I'd suggest using 14962 or whatever one it was you were using when we started our last game and trying another save.
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.14962
@JohnnyCat I will start a test for us just to see if we can get it to work and there isn't some other problem.
I will do that directly
Edit
I just tried to load Trouts save again and it doesn't work. I should have ciphered that sooner but then mental failures are nothing new to meEdit 2
@JohnnyCat try using this save and select pbem.It should take you to the German Purchase window. It should say "Dice Server On" bottom right

Your last game may have been started with 2.7.14926, which would have created the game header. The game header information is stored and read like the xml. Even though @Trout may have used a different version, the stored/old header is still written to the save file.
Here @Trout is creating the first save, so his version is creating the header.Cheers...
-
yea thought it might be something like that. Shoulda picked up on this sooner lol
-
When things work, things work. It's when they don't work that problems start. Don't be too hard on yourself, you catch a lot of things others don't see.
exp-cat-test-game-1.tsvg on 2.7.14926
on 2.7.15025 
on 2.7.15256 
didn't test because I don't have a copy loaded.Cheers...
-
This lady brought here car to my mechanic buddy. "It was working just fine and now it doesn't"
He goes "yea things work and they work and when they break, they don't work anymore "
-
Thank for any help. I've been playing this game solo for many months and long to actually play a person.
And Mister Tasty Fish is the perfect Mark, ah I mean highly skilled competitor, for this slaughter, ah I mean well balance game of whits and skills.
Those Nazi scum will PAY for taking Paris !
PS. This is far more interesting than watching a bunch of rich kids on steroids get paid to play with a ball, moooohafahaha
-
-
@beelee Yes I was able to select Start Local Game and your save and it worked fine
But if I tried Play By Forum is got this
-
try "Play By Email" not Forum
-
@beelee OK. Choosing Play by Email allowed me to open the saved game, purchase some units, play G1... then there were some final posting options but none of those worked presumably because I did not have it set up for real play?
-
yea so with pbem
you do your turn them hit "View Turn Summary"
ctrl a
ctrl c
You now have the turn summary copied.
Now ctrl s and make a saved game. I usually state game, opponent, player turn
Then post both to the game thread.

You can also use pbf but lets get you up and running with pbem first. -
what happens if I miss copying the game summary text?
Is there instructions for how to do this? Am I supposed to be using play by email with Trout? I thought it was play by forum?
What is the point all this? What is contained in the game save file and what else do I need to provide?
I did a German turn 1 in this case. No combat and Hitler bought a carrier and two fighters.
If this was for real is this file I attached enough or do I have to do more? What would be the purpose of copying the game summary text?
THanks
-
The turn summary shows what happened during the turn. It's not required as it's also in History but almost all Forum/PBEM players use it.
It's in my post above. Let me know which specific step you had trouble with.
pbem and pbf are slightly different. They are interchangeable but I didn't want to throw too much information at you at once
I will check your save and we will do a few turns for you to get the hang of it
-
@beelee wait let's start over form the beginning. I just realized we both did a German turn 1 right?
-
And how does Trout and I move on and play that game?
-
OK
lets do a few test turns. Trout and you will just start a new one.
I'm gonna do a G1. Be 10 min maybe
So I need to know if you want to scramble to 110 or 111. What we do is post a screenshot of the scramble area for easy to see
and a saved game so you can see the entire combat moves as that can affect whether you want to scramble or not. You do this at the end of your NCM but before starting Combat phase
