TripleA Changelog

What's new in TripleA 1.5.1.0

• A second possible fix for ConcurrentModificationException in BattleModel.refresh -> DiceRoll.isAmphibiousMarine -> BattleTracker.getPendingBattleSites. (veqryn)
• Changed Sea Placements to use all production for all surrounding Factories, if multiple factories touch that sea zone. Will now dynamically shift the production of other sea units away to other legal factories in order to allow the maximum production possible. (frigoref & veqryn)
• Fixed null pointer error in trying to place a construction to a sea zone. (veqryn)
• Locking the map when user's mouse is over the history panel, and then unlocking for each click on a history node. (frigoref) [edit: this is undone/rolled-back for now, pending finding a better way to lock/unlock a user's interface without writing to the cache/registry each time]
• Fixed bug where Rounds would not appear in a Client game. (veqryn)
• Creating a NullModeratorController class for locally hosted games. (veqryn)
• Fixed bug where steps appear out of order in a client game's history panel. (frigoref)
• Created new Trigger Attachment option, changeOwnership, which will allow a map to have the owner of a territory change by trigger. (veqryn)
• For Trigger Attachment option "removeUnits", now allowing the use of "all" in place of the territory name, and also "all" in place of the unit type. Can be used to remove all units from some or all territories. (veqryn)
• Correcting politics for Alpha xml. (veqryn)
• Changing game property, Selectable Tech Roll, to also work with WW2V3 Tech Model, allowing the user to select which tech they want after a successful roll. Also fixed the dice chooser to let you set the sides. (veqryn)

• Created new RelationshipTypeAttachment option, canMoveThroughCanals, which allows a player to move through a canal owned by the other player. (veqryn)

• Creating a better error message for when users do not have a map, but try to join the game anyway. (frigoref)
• Getting history panel to stop closing clicked on expanded paths every time a there is a new event or change, when your mouse is over the history panel. (frigoref)

• Fixing Battle Calc to not include units that are irrelevant to combat. (veqryn)
• Made sure all m_variable types in attachments exactly match the new instance type that is used. This, combined with the previous 2 changes, should fix the history panel bugs that are being caused by not being able to find the correct setter. (veqryn)
• Changing the way the ChangeFactory uses PropertyUtil for getting the old value of properties. Previously relied on the "get" method for getting the old value. Now it will directly access and store the "m_" object. getRawProperty no longer used. (veqryn)
• Allowed changes to all attachments to be undone and redone in the history panel, by ensuring each setter has an additional setter for an object of the field's type. (veqryn)
