@mahks Glad to see this is still alive. Well done fine sir!

The hierarchical index is great tool for anyone trying to understand what is possible with triplea game scenario .xml. POS2 can be a bit hard to read and take in.

@butterw POS2 is out of date in places as well : |

cameron

is this still getting updated? it looks like @Mahks hasn't posted in several years...

wondering if anyone can fix the entry for "carrierCapacity" as it's example is for "carrierCost".

actually, while on the subject of corrections, can we get all the examples to use " (double quotes) instead of ' (single quotes)? such a pain having to edit when copy/pasting and missing one...

@cameron

@Myrd was doing some work to move the XOB to the official TripleA website.

It is kinda available here, but does not yet render nicely:
https://triplea-game.org/xob/XOB.html

cameron

good to know it's not been abandoned.

although that link just displayed the code for me...

LaFayette

@cameron Indeed; not sure what is more needed to get it to actually "render". I was happy to see it be picked back up as well.

cameron

i copypasted the text into notepad and deleted the
"Line wrap
<!DOCTYPE HTML>"
bit at the front and saved it as an .html file and now it works in my browser (firefox).

LaFayette

It is interesting that works. Seemingly it is the web browser auto-attaching the 'doctype' part.

Here is the raw contents of the file, notice it is missing that doctype line:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea-game.github.io/blob/master/xob/XOB.html

For comparison: https://triplea-game.org/xob/XOB.html

What else, I'm not able to apply the same trick as you. If I save the file & open it - I see similar results as 'https://triplea-game.org/xob/XOB.html'

cameron

huh. so what's adding the weird prefix?

maybe try commenting out line 9 & 10?

LaFayette

I think the XOB file format is escaped. We may need to take another stab at exporting the data.
