@panther right on . I’m glad it’s working ok for others. The switch from firefox to Brave and the ubuntu update only thing I can think of that changed on my end.

Thanks again for all that you do :grin: :+1:

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…

@abulbulian:

I still noticed one issue which is that the arrows don’t show when I move my units. Good info showing unit moves, etc.  However, when the AI moves arrows are drawn on the map, so I not sure what the issues is here.  Maybe somebody has come across this before?

Strange - I have never heard of that before… sorry.

One idea though… start TripleA and hit “Engine Preferences”.
After that hit “Set Look and Feel”.
Try another scheme and see if your problem still occurs then…

HTH :-)

As ghr2 implied, you can never land a plane on a damaged carrier.

(Also, just to clarify, that’s a general G40 game rule, not something specific to tripleA)

Online, you enter into a lobby where people host games. There you can join games to play… or watch if it has already started. These games are live.

Play By Email… well, of course you’ll need the emails of others. I think everyone has to register to the dice server, TripleA should tell how to do it. But you get spammed a lot from the results of the game. So I’d recommend using a new email just for this if you decide to play it by Email.
Games by Forum or Email aren’t live of course. You get the results uploaded and then when it’s your turn, when you’re done, you post/send your results. TripleA conveniently does most of the work itself for that, I think.

And if you got a buddy right by ya, you could just play a local game.

I had that same problem.
I solved it by un-installing Triple A and then I installed the newest version of Triple A with the link that included JAVA.
Everything worked great then. I hope this helps you!

I sure hope so I have problems with the Battle map and being unable to unzip or open certain files and tripple A i can download and play and I would love to join the on line group in games and see what there is to learn
