triplea 1.6.1 comes with the 5 player version
much easier if you guys all use that…
you SHOULD play this :P
yep, but that doesnt answer my questions ;)
And in general I avoid anything unstable on the net.

The stable 1.6.1 should have been released yesterday.
@alexgreat:
Thats the version labelled “unstable” on the webiste. Is it ok to use? And how will it affect running AA games under the old version?
Thx Veqryn!
We follow a naming convention that means that until my releases get down to the last digit, and I feel they have been tested enough, we called it “unstable”.
1.5.2.1 has many bugs, some of which are fatal errors that completely stop play (forcing you to close the game and reload an older savegame).
1.6.1 has fixed all of those bugs, and as far as I can tell has no bugs. 1.6.1 is at least as “stable” as 1.5.2.1 is.
“unstable” does not mean triplea can affect anything outside of triplea. The worst that can happen is a bug that ruins your current autosave and closes the game, and 1.5.2.1 has 2 or 3 of those already, which are fixed in 1.6.1.
i’m currently recommending all people start new games on 1.6.1
Thx Veqryn, appreciated. Only one question that remains unclear to me: Can I import old games into 1.6.1 and continue playing?
As for bugs, the only thing I ever encountered is problems after you look at the game history. Other than that no errors that I remember.
The community owes you big time, thx for that. The only - minor - thing that I have difficulty with are the icons, eg cruiser and battleships, fighter and tacs, tacs and bombers, colours for ANZAC and US. But again, this is no complaint :)
PS: Right now, a friend and me are trying to figure out how to play over the net in real time, is that part working well (ports and stuff…)? I seem to remember there is a link to a “to do” wiki page, right?
Savegames are incompatible due to the new features i’ve added to 1.6.1
Keep 1.5.2.1, and download 1.6.1, and you can run them both at the same time (use 1.5.2.1 for your 1.5.2.1 savegames, and 1.6.1 for your 1.6.1 savegames)
The only time savegames are ever compatible, is if it is the 4th digit that is the only digit that changes. (x_x_x_y [if the only change is ‘y’ then savegames will work])
Example: 1.5.2.1 to 1.5.2.2 would be compatible (also 1.5.2 would be compatible because technically it is 1.5.2.0)
while 1.5.2.1 to 1.6 is not compatible, and 1.6 to 1.6.1 is not compatible
You can have multiple versions of triplea installed at the same time. Even running them at the same time is ok.
About playing “live” games, have you tried clicking the “Play Online” button at the top of the main screen?
There is an online lobby where people play live games against each other, and we have an average of 50-110 people online during peak hours.
ah I dont think so, but will definitly try that, thx for pointing out!
Veqryn, does 1.6.1. need Java while the previous did not need it? I can run the old one, but the new one asks for Java and wont start. The previous one never asked for Java (and I dout I downloaded the Java version)?
Thx

you have 2 choices
download java
or download the one with java
I am a pain, I know, but even when I download and install 1.6.1 with Java I am asked to install Java runtime environment 1.5.0.
There is no Java on my computer that the Java website could detect, and the old versio runs perfectly fine. Then again, I am a noob in those things.
Try the No Install version ?
Hey Garg, if you confirm that you want to play this I will start the thread
will try to get it going tonight so to not delay the game.
Ready to go
We better wait another player, 'cause Gargantua is keeping two games on hold right now. I think more than 10 days passed alreay.
So… looking for 1 more player!
Yea I wont have the time to play :(
Sorry boys.
Hi Noll, any progress? Thx.
We’re still waiting for 1 player!
Just as a heads up, but I’ll be out of the country for 3 weeks in August and probably won’t have internet access. So feel free to find someone else to take my spot if that’s too long to wait for.
considering how 2nd universe just died due to 1 player never posting for 3 weeks and 2 players dropping cus of that delay, I now have an ‘open slot’ for a game
i’d like to join, but here is my condition:
everyone needs to be able to post within a day of their turn, hopefully quicker
i would love to see a game where there are several turns done in a day
(obviously this isn’t a hard and fast rule, there will be exceptions and unforeseen things in your schedule, which i am fine with. i just want this to be a goal.)
i’ll take whatever nation is left over
alex, can you play quickly, yes or no?
