G40 Balance Mod - Rules and Download

[simon33]

Hi regularkid,
I’ve opened a pull request for this fix.

Are you interested in learning how to do this? You’ll need to get a github account. If not, I’m happy to assist but in the future can I get the .xml version? Seems that the exporter doesn’t always export everything in the same order or something so it becomes non trivial to do a comparison.

[regularkid]

Hey Simon. I appreciate your help. Attached is the xml for the balance mod 2.1, with the vichy fix.

[simon33]

Thanks. I’ve worked it out in this case.

But this would be a useful baseline.

any update on fixing 1.9 for macs? The scramble box blinks forever.

[simon33]

There’s a few tricks to stop it - command-Q and say no or minimise the window. These often don’t work straight away but you can usually get it to accept input. Had a look at it yesterday but I couldn’t see a fix.

Yah, this is the main thing thats preventing me from picking up a league game right now.

How to start a new BM game in tripleA 1.9?

Is there a game file like attached in this thread in the OP somewhere?

[JDOW]

Ok, just realized the attached game file IS for 1.9. Ignore my post above please.

You don’t need one. You can select Balanced Mod so long as you’ve downloaded the WW2 Global set of maps - which you need to do anyway.

The BM that comes with the global package has the Vichy bug.

Are you sure? I’m pretty sure I’ve applied the fix. Perhaps I haven’t moved on the version number though so it won’t tell you that you need to download the new version. There’s still a few outstanding bug fixes for some other maps that I’m waiting to be applied so that is probably the case.

[simon33]

If the version number is 2.0 you don’t have the fix. If it is 2.1 you do. Unless I’m mistaken.

[regularkid]

correct

[Adam514]

Yeah I had to update the G40 maps to get it.

[simon33]

Ok, I’ve submitted a pull request to get the version moved on.

I was waiting for another map to be included but it has been 19 days now.

I don’t quite understand, the version that are included in the Global pack have a working Vichy. I think you just need to click on ‘‘download maps’’ and then update the G40 pack.

[simon33]

While I can update the current version, there is an additional update that needs to be made to tell Triple-A that it needs to re-download the map. Thankfully, that update has been made now.

USA not getting NO for owning Holland and Normandy, with one or more land units in either: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=38899.105

Yeah, I have no idea what’s causing that. I checked to see if it was a problem with marines but it isn’t, and even with S France being US the objective still doesn’t work.

Except for the fact that the NO doesn’t work with only a marine on the territories, the NO works fine with all BM versions I have. I also tested to see if the NO was working earlier in your game, and it works on US2. So it’s a bug, I don’t think there’s anything that can be done.

Japan can’t launch a kamikaze attack when an allied marine is getting off a different ally’s cruiser/battleship, right?
