Total World War: December 1941 (BETA) 2.8.0.5

[Hepps]

@oigroig78 Not quite sure what you mean?

@hepps
When the 2.8.0.3 release will be available? I usually play with 2.7, but I like the 2.8 BETA, but I got some errors when running it. So I wait for the official release of 2.8 (NOT BETA) to play with that. When will it come?

I would like to test some strategies in TWW 2.8, using the "Game/Edit Mode" to move units freely. Is that possible and how?

Thanks! (I'm new here)

@oigroig78

I am working on the final corrections to the game manual and notes right now. With any luck it will be available for down load later today.

2.8.0.3 will still be a BETA since all of the game changes are still being tested for overall balance.

The errors you are receiving are almost certainly because you are using an engine that does not include features necessary to play it.

I recommend you follow this link and update you engine to one of the latest pre-releases....

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/1.9.0.0.9464

This will allow you to play without any errors.

Look forward to having a new opponent to play against! Welcome to the community.

@oigroig78 Welcome to the TWW cult! As @Hepps mentioned you most likely just need to download a pre-release version of the TripleA engine as TWW 2.8 uses some new features that aren't in the official download yet.

And yes you can use Edit Mode for any map to test things out or often times players use it to correct a mistake. Here is a screenshot that shows the "Enable Edit Mode" option at the top:

Thanks for your welcome, I downloaded the pre-release and playing with that now, but still not able to activate the "edit mode". The menu command is not activable (I'm a Mac user). Do you know how to fix?

[redrum]

@oigroig78 Strange. Can you post a screenshot like the one I have above? Are you able to see the Edit Mode option but nothing happens when you click it?

[oigroig78]

Now is working, I needed to qui from game and restart computer! Thanks!

First post in this thread has now been changed to reflect the changes made to the game.

[Hepps]

The new version is now available via the Triple A Download Maps.

Bear in mind you will need to delete the old version if you already have it installed before the new one will appear in the list.

@hepps ALL ABOARD..... Next stop sunny Kursk.

Baggage to the rear please.

[General_Zod]

@general_zod

One panzer per passenger please.

I'm sorry sir, you already have a panzer loaded.

[redrum]

@hepps Actually it should download over the old version. It will appear in the install list if you don't have it already or had a manual copied in version. Otherwise it should appear in the update list.

[beelee]

LOL at The Zod : )

[prastle]

@redrum ya it did appear as an update but it failed to parse. I have deleted and am downloading again.

Edit worked second time.

[prastle]

@general_zod that's included in the 1 armor and 1 infantry without the advanced logistics no?

[General_Zod]

@prastle That's correct sir, you don't have sufficient tech tokens at this time. You'll need to purchase a new ticket to load 2 panzers.

[prastle]

@general_zod HEHE

[prastle]

@hepps and at all. Japan bots updated to .9480 and maps updated. It should run there now

[prastle]

@prastle also CA bots and SG

Have you ever thought of designing a TWW game themed "spring 1942"? I suppose that can make the Pacific islands area more playable. And also neutrality between USSR and Japan... Curious to know your opinion...
