France Goes First 2.5 not working
-
Hi Panther
Crockett wanted to make the G 40 map have France go first in turn order. I suggested he use BlackElks UHD map.
Idk how the duplicate files showed up. I don't think they're present in UHD Boxes though.
The squares that show up seem to imply a missing image ?
Idk, it'd probably be best just to start over with the UHD map. Can use Bung's map too for that matter. Rename it correctly and then tweak the turn order. Idk how to get rid of the duplicate files.
Pretty sure I removed them and they just popped up again.

OK, so a seperate xml would be enough. No need for a (new) separate repo, then.

They are, unfortunately:

Yes, looks like the reference to UHD made the images show up. But as this is a seperate map it would need separate images for that.

Pretty sure I removed them and they just popped up again.They can be easily deleted from the repo. We need someone with write access to do so, however.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Beelee is correct, I wanted to make another mod that would span different maps. I'll see what I can do. Thank you for the instructions. You guys do great work! I say we triple all of your salaries! You should have a tip jar app somewhere!

@crockett36 It is probably not a good idea to use the same file name as an existing map. I will put this my queue of things to cleanup.
In general, I think that scenarios that use existing maps should have their own mod. I don't want to presuppose that someone who is downloading a mod wants to have all scenarios that used the same map.
In earlier version of TripleA, you could reference the map information for another scenario which I found useful.

I redownloaded France Goes First and the plain Global 1940 UDH Map and it works again on 2.5.

Sure, you can of course try and use this "erroneous workaround" - but this "solution" is part of the problem - as discussed in this topic.
A TripleA-map (or module) should never depend on having preinstalled another one. In this case this has been caused by oversights and errors in different files.
"France goes First" needs some rework before it should be downloadable from within TripleA. -
To clarify:
Plain UHD Global was already downloaded when I saw the error for France Goes First. When I tried to load plain UHD Global for 2.5 I got the exact same error.
I deleted and redownloaded both maps and the errors for France Goes First on 2.5 disappeared (both still work on 2.7).
Update:
Even though I just successfully finished a local game with France Goes First on 2.5 with no issues, now I have this error for both France Goes First and plain UHD Global:
However, both maps still work on 2.7.15133.

That's why I called using it an "erroneous workaround".
I recommend to delete the current version of "France Goes First" and redownload it once is has been revised. It simply has not been ready to be added to the 'official' repos and should not be available for download from within TripleA in its current status.

Thank you!

@battleshipyamato I update the repository to use a different file name france_goes_first.xml.
I will also check to be sure that are not other mods with similar problems.

@rogercooper Thank you so much!
