2.7 Lobby + Bots Available & Early Testing Phase

[LaFayette]

Two important fixes landed:

1. fixed the sound related crash when TripleA has a space in the installation path
2. 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.

A second patch is in to fix the sound related crash:

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.

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)

@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.
