Tested for last bug last night against 6 modules that might use this
behavior (trouble was finding mods that even use Place marker or Replace
with Other traits with apply key after and executing - one was hidden
through specific pme requirements!), but I had some clues from forums over
the years

All were ok. Think its safe

Hey guys

need some help, ive been playing vassal 40k fine for a few weeks, then the server went down for a day and its become unplayable. 5 minute lag on dice rolls that my opponent makes. 5 minutes to enter a room. Its become a complete mess.

Now my computer is relatively aged running xp, its a p4 with a gig of ram. My connection is not fantastic either, but i average around 2mbps which should be ample

HELP!

Cashew

I can see where this could be done but it would require a rather complex set of triggers.

I'm working on zoning a map right now for a mod I'm doing. When I get that done, I'll fool around with this idea and see what I come up with.

E-mail me if you like.

Module General Discussion :: Create... For Me

Subject: Create... For Me

I was wondering if I could find anyone willing to make a little module for me.

It needs two decks composed of 60 cards each.
I have the images of those cards already, front and back.

The decks are shared between two players ("shared decks"). The board should be empty.

When cards are drawn from the shared deck they are added to a new deck ("mini-deck") specific to the player that drew it and specific to the type of card that it is (two types) without being revealed to either player.

When drawing from the mini-deck, the card is revealed and based on what it shown it is either placed in the discard pile, added to the player's hand or placed face up on the board. The cards in hand will eventually be discarded in the discard pile. Once a shared deck runs out, the discard pile is shuffled back into play.

I need to be able to see both players' "hands" as I'll be using this module alone.

I'm going to be using this as a tool to help me play test a card game/RPG hybrid. Most of the goings on will be outside of the Vassal.

I'm not sure if all of these features can even be done with Vassal... any help provided would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry!

I think you are right.

If you want to send me a fixed .vsav setup, I will put it in the module.

Thanks.

I did, played some VASL 5.9 game on 3.1.14, no problem so far.

I'm very much new to the vassal scene and I would love to learn more about module creation. I was wondering if there was a module that had some similiaritites of a game I am trying to design. It needs to be a hexagon based main map with the ability to assign traits/counters to each hex on the map. Basically I want to put various counters on the hex to indicate the presence and quantity of 3 different materials. By clicking on the counter, the material quantity is decremented and the current player's inventory is incremented.

I would like to ask a question about automating the initial game state of a game I am designing in Vassal. I have a 6x6 grid of hexagons. What I would like to happen at the click of a button:

Randomly select one of the 36 hexagons that constitute the main map. Increment a counter associated with that hex cell by 2. Here's the kicker: Increment the counters on all adjacent hex cells by 1.

So somehow I need to link a given cell to all its neighbors and have a trigger present so if a given hex is choosen and its counter is incremented by 2, then all associated neighbor hexes counters are incremented too by 1.

If there is a game module that incorporates what am I describing please point me to it and I will tweak it as I need. If there isn't a game module like this, is what I am describing possible? If yes, could a veteran module designer please give me some pointers? I can share the work I have done so far.
Thanks so much for your time,
fossman

Thus spake "uckelman":

Quote:

I've uploaded a test build (3.1.14-svn6582) for 3.1.14 in the usual place:

http://www.nomic.net/~uckelman/tmp/vassal/

Changes:

* RFE: Total player count now appears in the Server Status pane.

* Bug 2944858: Misplaced AreaOfEffect center when board is magnified

* Bug 2933236: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in StackMetrics.draw()

* Bug 2912371: Custom step/undo/connect icons not showing in 3.1.13

* Bug: user.home property is not passed from Module Manager to Player or Edit
or

* Bug: Only select marker if original piece was selected. Prevents autoselect
ing of markers when placed via Global Key Command.

This last change in particular needs some testing before we release 3.1.14---
we don't know whether any modules rely on the old behavior. Please try this b
uild with an assortment of modules and report back with what you find.

Has anybody tried this? The next release of VASL is blocking on the release
of 3.1.14, so it would be nice to get this out the door soon.

Set your password to passwd-1 and take the GM Slot
Create a save game
close the game
Change your password to passwd-2
Open the save game and you will be able to take the player1 slot.
Now you can change between GM and player1 on the fly by changing your password between passwd-1 and passwd-2.
