@rogercooper I see that the russian civil war is up for download. When I start the 6 player variation a failed to start message appears stating the following: "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error in resource loading. Unable to load expected resource: polygons.txt, the error is that either we did not find the correct path to load. Check the resource loader to make sure the map zip or dir was added. Failing that, the path in this error message should be available relative to the map folder, or relative to the root of the map zip"

It seems like the thread on github that it forwards you to is a duplicate of an issue in new world order 1915. Any guidance on what should be done? Thanks!!

I think you need to unzip the files and then delete the zip file.

The real issue might be that the zip file structure needs a map folder?

RogerCooper

@christian-dutrow This should make it work

Open the folder <user>/triplea/downloadedmaps
Extract the files from russian_civil_war.zip
Delete the zip file
Rename the folder, removing "-master"
Go into the folder. You will see another folder ending "-master". Go into that.
Copy everything in that folder to the clipboard
Go back into the main folder. Paste everything in
Delete the "-master" folder

It will work now. I am not sure why the downloader is messing some mods in this fashion.

Why does the zip file need a map folder? These mods play perfectly well on my computer without a map folder or ending with -master.

I did say might as Im not sure either why it fails, only that if I put a map folder in the usual place and zip backup it works without error

I try that with next mod I post and see if it helps.

Name: Global 1940 House Rules with Canada
Description: Just like the name says
https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Global_1940_House_Rules_with_Canada

Good Points

Canada!

Bad Points

Some glitches, for example you can build 10 at a minor factory

Note: I would prefer house rules people to choose a set of rules they like and make a mod, rather than having a huge number of options.

beelee

@christian-dutrow yea this one pops up a lot. I think the workaround is as the Dog says here

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/10914

Try a new 2.6 prerelease or go to your DL maps folder and open the zip and rename that folder without the -master at the end. Leave that folder in DL maps and make sure the zip is no longer there

oops see this already answered. Musta missed a page lol

@rogercooper what map version were you using ? I can't recreate the Minors overproducing with the latest "2.72"

I am not sure how to find out version number of the map. The map I have is the latest from the repository.

There may be some confusion between "Global 1940 House Rules" and " Global 40 House Rules.

As much as I love hoarding scenarios, maybe one of those mods should be deprecated.

Name G40 Alt Universe
Description Rules and countries of the Global Game on a completely fictional map
https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/G40_Alt_Universe

Good Points

Not just another WW2 map

Bad Points

This game is simply confusing. It is hardly the only map using a fictional setting, but those other maps are far more comprehensible. There is little description of the setting and the territory names are colorless. Using the names of real countries makes it worse. Britain and France seem randomly scattered over the world.

beelee

@rogercooper yes I appreciate simon doing the original one because my machine fried and I lost all my work. I also appreciate he added Canada as well. I asked him to delete it since "Global 40 House Rules" has everything that "1940" does.

Christian Dutrow

@rogercooper Perfect thank you for the assist!!
