EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat

[Trout]

@johnnycat I am on 14966. I don't think it matters if you are on the exact same one as me. I have map version 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 so maybe that is what he was referring to?? Anyway, Beelee is the expert in these kinds of things - not me

[beelee]

@johnnycat

yea so the newest ones are under active construction. They're good for testing but for playing agame you should use the last one that worked for you.

You can have multiple tripleas installed. There was a post just today or yesterday about how to do it with mac. I'll link in a bit.

Go to main page and download triplea and then prerelease. It'll take you here https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/

then you can scroll back or search for 14962 unless you remember the last one you had. 15330 is my latest pre but I can't remember if it works.

last post has the mac info

Edit 2
What Game version are you using ? 2.54 is latest and I suggest you guys use that but if you still on the last one don't sweat it and roll some dice

[beelee]

@trout

yea Game version should be OK. It's the triplea engine version most likely.

Edit
Although 2.54 probably won't work if you have 2.53 and that's what he made it with but I tried in both and got same error

[JohnnyCat]

@trout @beelee None of these numbers makes any sense to me.

What is 2.52 and 2.53? I see tripleA at version 2.7XXXXX and version 2.6 is 4 years ago

Would it make sense if you send me the link to download the version that is compatible with you?

Thank you

[beelee]

@johnnycat

2.53 and 2.54 are "game versions" of the mod. 2.7+14962 is the triplea "engine version"

Edit
install this https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.14962

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee I see - well I don't see how I could get a older game version since I just get it automagically from TripleA.

Anyway I am not sure what to do now.

[beelee]

@johnnycat

we will walk through it

read this https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3724/how-to-have-triplea-2-5-2-6-installed-at-the-same-time/6

when you first start triplea what version do you have ? this shows 14962

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee This is the tripleA engine that I already have

I downloaded and installed it again at another location just for kicks... no change.

[beelee]

@johnnycat

hmm ... can you start a game in local and let me know your engine version ? I edited above with an example

[beelee]

@johnnycat said in EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat:

at another location

I wouls suspect that is the problem then

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee sorry but I don't understand how to do that. Open the game and press what?

I got rid of the other copy. I am still showing this:

[beelee]

@johnnycat

are you trying to be deliberately obtuse ?

click on triplea. The little army dude this is what comes up

Edit OK you are on 14962

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee NO I am NOT being obtuse mate. I just don't know all this jargon.

And why is the game version so close to the engine version, hahahaha. First thing I would change...

But on the Mac I cannot get that window to show up unless I save, close, then open the save

AND I STILL DONT SEE game version and numbers like 2.5 anywhere

[beelee]

@johnnycat

so you are on 14962. That is not the problem then. My guess would be the different location/path Idk what it's called that you changed is the problem then. i dk how to fix that.

Just reverse what you did is my suggestion. i can help no further other tahn to say uninstall it completely and then reinstall

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee Heavy Sigh

That is what I did

Please tell me where I can see game version numbers of 2.5 or 2.6 ???

Also I did not "change" anything. I just got some new computers and put triplea on it. this stuff cannot possibly be this difficult so I'm guessing there is something easy like synching the game version numbers - but I cannot find how to even show the game version numbers

[beelee]

@JohnnyCat

when you first start a game you will see this

That is the "Game" version.

This is the "Engine version"

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee NO SIR that is NOT DISPLAYED on my Macs

I am shown the House Rules and then a bunch of in game scenario stuff. NOTHING about game or engine version.

Is that the only way for y'all PC users to see the game version number is at the start?

[beelee]

@johnnycat said in EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat:

this stuff cannot possibly be this difficult

sadly it can be. People struggle all the time with the new computer thing. I know I do

[beelee]

@johnnycat

yea I'm on linux so that's how it works for me. It used to show the "Game version" to but dan removed that. That's why i had to make a notification at Game Start saying which one it is now lol

Did you read the above link about macs ? I guess you can ask him if you can't get it to work. I can't help with that

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee I wonder if that "notification" is some popup that gets blocked? No that makes no sense... I just don't get it.

Anyway I have the same triplea engine so I think the issue is in the game number because all my new stuff does not see @trout 's files and complains that this stuff is from a newer game.

So where can I download older versions of the game/map not the engine?
