Is it possible to give tech a dice of 4 instead of 6?

VictoryFirst

@Ramon I believe by default tech dice use the dice sides specified on the top of the XML (by default 6). So if you want to give tech a dice of 4, you'd be changing the dice sides that regular combat units use as well.

If you want tech to be rolled with 4 dice sides and the other rolls with 6 dice sides, I think theoretically it would possible, but would it would be insanely complicated and require the use of a user action phase with a lot of nested triggers/conditions.

Also, some of the stuff you want to implement that is currently not possible can be made possible by making changes to the engine. So if you'd like to see this happen, feel free to post a feature request here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues

Hi!

I have a question about editing the relieftiles of a map.

Im using gimp and try to erase some lines to redraw borders with the eraser tool.
The problem is that once i erase the original transparent pixels i get weird white pixels on my map? Do any of you have experience with this? Can i edit the relief tiles?

RogerCooper

@Ramon I don't the answer to the question but you normally would not edit the relief tiles individually. Instead you edit the overall image and the have the "Tile Image Breaker" create the individual tiles.

@RogerCooper

Thanks for your reply! I'm editing the overall image and use the tile Image Breaker to create the individual tiles.

I'm a bit confused why my transparent eraser isn't working?

Do you know if i can use my base tile map to create an relief tile map?

Hi

In case you haven't seen it this is pretty helpful https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3423/a-brief-guide-for-making-a-map-relief

I had the same problem trying to erase a line. If I remember right, I think Elk said to paint over the existing line but I don't really know. I tried it with limited success.

@cernel and @victoryfirst would probably know.

@beelee

Thank you for your response!

Unfortunately i dont have original map.png for the reliefmap.

Do you have any idea if i can make a reliefmap based on originalmap?

@Ramon Check out Map Creator Tools/Optional Things/Run the Tile Image Reconstructor

@Ramon
Yes you can, its messy.
Map Creator Tools> Other optional things: > Run the tile image reconstructor

The rest is up to you and the way you install TripleA, but as a guide something like this

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\triplea\downloadedMaps\1941_global_command_decision\map\reliefTiles

If your on Windows, copy and paste the above into your windows file manage to get an idea.

@Ramon Can't help you with the transparent eraser. I use plain old Paint
