Triple A

@redrum Excellent! Thank you for the response.

Indeed, skins are a collection of modified text- or image files bundled into another zip-file that replace the original look when applied. Skins are useful when you don’t want to touch the original map-files and/or maybe want to offer a variety of changes to the public.

But you don’t need to apply a complete skin when you want to change the look of your map.

For example in the Global 40 map.properties file the territory colors of the map are defined like this:

color.Neutral=d8ba7c color.Neutral_True=b88a6c color.Neutral_Axis=6A5B3D color.Neutral_Allies=d8ba7c color.Italians=58360E color.British=916400 color.UK_Europe=916400 color.UK_Pacific=8E6600 color.French=156CC4 color.Impassable=d8ba7c color.Americans=5a5a00 color.Russians=af2828 color.Germans=5a5a5a color.Japanese=DCB53F color.Chinese=713778 color.Canada=bf0010 color.ANZAC=4d7f7f color.Dutch=ff6d00 color.Mongolians=d8ba7c

Now adjust the (hex RGB) color code to your needs. Save the file and play…

I wasn’t aware you can edit the program to skip steps ( to speed up things ). Good to know.

I guess even though I knew it was possible, I wasn’t aware either : )
A good way to test stuff

Yes, this feature together with Edit Mode allows for setting up and testing special scenarios.
TripleA offers a lot :-)

Yes, these are two different files.

java.exe is the application that is allowed to use/access the console while javaw.exe is the “console-less” Windows application.
Or in other words java.exe targets the CONSOLE subsystem while javaw.exe targets the WINDOWS subsystem.

TripleA definitely uses javaw.exe to access the web.
So java.exe won’t help you out here.

Stand for Order Of Loss, in other words in what order you want to lose your units in the battle.

Axis and Allies was meant to be played by MEN, not MACHINES!

An AI intelligent enough, could become Artificial.  I mean, if it knows when to rock out a good gamble, that could be dangerous! :P

For the record, I don’t “look” ahead in most of my games, other than for the obvious - “Oh they are going to take a shot at the capital” kind of stuff.  If the AI just did what it had to do to get it’s NO’s, and focus on the economics, it would be deadly enough.

reinstalled and managed to get to lobby, but i am getting error messages after every battle. not affecting play.

@Gargantua:

I am just curious as to who gets the credit for making Triple A? and Battlemap?

Jesus.

Jesus saves.
