EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat

[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?

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?

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee ok thanks. I cannot make any sense of that tho

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee @Trout

Can either of you see this map?

TEST ME.tsvg

[beelee]

@johnnycat

one other thing to try. Notifications could be disabled. You have to go to "Engine Preferences"

"Game"

See if Show First Time Prompts is True

TEST ME.tsvg

yes !!! I can

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee ok well I will redo on that map tho I made no changes.

Also note that I cannot find any way to show a window like you did that shows "engine Preferences". could you tell me how you showed that window?

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee. OK I found how to do that on the Mac. very different but works and popups were allowed

[beelee]

@johnnycat

this is how to get old versions of the "Game" https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4025/how-to-dl-old-map-versions-in-git

Start triplea and show me what you get when it first starts

[beelee]

@johnnycat

yes mac and triplea don't play well together. Actually it's basically a windows world we all have to live in whether we like it or not

Perhaps you could do a self help for mac users post and put it unde rPlayer Help

Edit
as others will surely have the same problem and Idk what you did to make it work

[JohnnyCat]

@Trout @beelee
Here is another attempt -
....

TEST ME2 Trout Cat Game 3 G1.tsvg

Scrambles?
...

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee I would LOVE to help Mac users. The entire point of Mac, however, is to be easy to use. So I am not sure that I could say anything of value... hmmm. I will think about this.

[beelee]

@johnnycat

yea i just mean for now what you did to resolve your recent problem.

I will test your save now. Screenshot looks good

Edit
hmm ... looks clearer than the windows and linux ones. The in games look good with them but posting shots with them not nearly as clear

looks like that ss fckr wanting to go into Switzerland too lol Good thing they got a Artillery piece pointed at him

Edit 2
Yea that fires for me. I'm sure it'll work for @Trout too

[Trout]

@johnnycat Yes, I can open that one! Eggs fully scrambled in SZ 110. But only over easy in other SZ's. The boys in Wales and Scotland are too busy watching rugby to fly today.

@trout
