Whenever I try and load a scenario file, I get the messge that the board could not be built. What am I missing? I have all the board files in the same folder as the vsql module, as are the scenarios. I am able to load the board when I choose to “start a game offline”
Any help is appreciated

vsql 4.1.93 is the module
Thus spake thrud:

Please post the contents of the errorLog.

Thus spake thrud:
- VSQL version 4.1.93
- Bad Data in Module: Unable to build board 0 0 01 0
0 872 645- LOS engine disabled… No board found
If this is the whole errorLog, then it looks to me like you’re missing
some part that VSQL needs. Are you trying to load a scenario that
requires some extension which you’ve not loaded or enabled?

Thrud, give this a try.
Go into your program files ->VASSAL → VSQL and make sure you have a subfolder named “boards.” If not, create a file and just drop your boards into it.
Now open your Vassal and open VSQL. Click on File → Preferences then look down in the bottom 1/3 of the list for BOARD DIRECTORY. This should have the pathway to your board folder and should read something like this:
“C:\Program Files\VASSAL\VSQL\Boards.” If it doesn’t, then write down what you currently have, type in this pathway, close and reopen VASSAL then try to load a game.
I have my game on my C:\ drive and am using XP, so this might vary for you if you have a different drive or OS.
I got this from a guy on the Gamesquad ASL forum and when I followed his advice it fixed me right up.
