@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…

Thanks very much P@nther. Much appreciated. :-)

This techno stuff is all beyond me!

Plan B then - try to persuade him to play on his laptop ….

Thanks redrum. I believe others having had the same problem at the same time I have, then it sorted itself, then it returned, etc …

@Faramir:

Which forum do I post on to find players for a play-by-forum game? I think I have Triple A figured out pretty well and I registered my email with the dice roller thing (I can’t remember the name right now).

Here you go:

Enjoy :-)

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!

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.

I recently created new professional looking icons to replace the meadorker icon that comes with TripleA. Hopefully I can lobby the TripleA team to replace their current icon. I hope you all enjoy it.

Below is a link showing a preview of what the icon looks like

You can download the actual icon files in various sizes here

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING CURRENT TRIPLEA ICON:
    Download the ziped icon files. Copy the entire contents of the zipped folder into a new nonzipped folder that you will perminately save on your computer. (if you dont do this you wont be able to use the icons)
    If you have windows you can replace your current icon by right clicking on the triplea icon selecting “properties” under the “Shortcut” tab select “change Icon” then find the icon file you downloaded.   I would recomend selecting the 256x256 icon if you have vista. If you dont have vista you may need to select a smaller resolution.
