2.7 Lobby + Bots Available & Early Testing Phase

LaFayette

Good working list - I created a project and added those issues:
https://github.com/orgs/triplea-game/projects/14

The project is there largely so we can keep a single list as items are fixed.

Speaking of which, the no-sound issue should be fixed now with: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15463

Statusbar icons missing, it works for 15256
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/14274

@TheDog Do you know which map that is?

LaFayette

-> Fix pending for truncated maps

I have a fix in flight as well for the truncated maps list. Turns out.. the maps server was crashing while indexing the maps. It does so alphabetically in a loop, so it only got about half way each time before crashing on the same map and stopping.

->Item created for map download/install issues reported by Beelee

I created a project item for what @beelee reported above: https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/4304/2-7-lobby-bots-available-early-testing-phase/7

@TheDog Do you know which map that is?

No, but here is a screenie of 1941 Global Command Decision (GCD)
it is missing the dollar wad icon, it only has one resource, that is not local to the map, so it comes from TripleA install directory. I will guess that is the problem. As 1888A Steam and Steel has its resource icons local and they work as intended.

@LaFayette
Updated Github with the above findings.

Testing no sound, raised this, as it crashes.

@thedog sound is not fixed in v463? The version i posted earlier?

TheDog

@lafayette
Yes the latest version crashes on Windows.

Panther

2.7.15463 works fine here. No crash, with sound, and I'm on Windows 11.

Edit: I just read the respective Github-issue: so I add that my installation is in

C:\Games\TripleA

TheDog

Mine is the default install, so

C:\Program Files\TripleA

LaFayette

Two important fixes landed:

fixed the sound related crash when TripleA has a space in the installation path
bot networking incompatibility with game client

There are still some outstanding problems, but AFAIK nothing major that prevents gameplay with bots.

The support server has some fixes ready to address the map indexing being cut off after about 50 maps. I'm hoping that'll come in soon, and the full list of TripleA maps will be available from the maps server and also on the bots.

LaFayette

A second patch is in to fix the sound related crash:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.15476

TheDog

@lafayette
Yea!
No crash, remote icons are showing and sound works!
Thanks!

LaFayette

Latet version 2.7.15493 (2026-May-07) has some additional fixes that landed today:

[fix#14338] Game crashed for 'clients' of network games when placing purchased units:
[fix#14336] neutrals were not selected when using the battle calc
[fix#14343] UI(reconnect window): do not hightlight 'disconnect' button by default
[fix#14342] The no-image image was not displaying

These should all be fixed now:

I confirm this now works, yea!
This means with all these fixes that I can use 2.7.15494 to help test a new map we are working on.

@lafayette

With 2.7.15494 the "Centering on Capital" of the active player still does not seem to work:

(Map: WWII Global 1940 Second Edition, Lock Map is deactivated)

Cernel

@LaFayette Cool. If anyone wants to play a game of "270BC Wars" on the latest TripleA, let me know here, so we can do some testing this way.

Yes and no.
"World War II Global 1940 2nd Edition" 'first' step is technology, which can be switched in "Game Options". Turned 'on' map will center. Turned off map does not center.
Please see discussion here.

Cheers...

@lafayette Two problems on 2.7.15494.

Joining the lobby, I don't see my name on the right bar (nor anyone else's, but I assume I'm the only one in the lobby at the moment).

Hosting via the "Host Game" button is not showing in the lobby list (as I only see the 6 automated hosts in there). The host itself looks fine: I made a turn by myself.

Cernel

I cannot enter the automated host. Faling, it prompts me to report to TripleA but also fails to do so. It says "[500 Internal Server Error] during [POST] to [https://prod.triplea-game.org/support/error-report] [ErrorReportClient#uploadErrorReport(ErrorReportRequest)]: [RESTEASY003880: Unable to find contextual data of type: jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest]".

Clicking on Network, I've the option to click on "Remove Game From Lobby", so it looks like the game itself "believes" to be connected to the lobby (even though it is nowhere to be seen).
