Bug when starting a New Game

Stiglr · August 23, 2015, 4:25pm

I am editing a module and I believe there’s an issue with the map; I’m trying to use a smaller (file size) graphic. From the Editor, I save the module, Start New Game, select any side (or observer) and then click Next. The bug dialog appears:

bsmith, uckelman? No help for this one?

uckelman · September 2, 2015, 5:41pm

Thus spake Stiglr via messages:

bsmith, uckelman? No help for this one?

It’s Bug 10102:

vassalengine.org/tracker/sho … i?id=10102

I’ve never been able to reproduce the problem myself.

Ugh.

As additional backstory, I’m trying to upgrade an existing module with a new (smaller file size map). This (new) map appears in all its glory in the editor, just won’t when trying to launch a game.

I’ve already put a bunch of time in on this setting up Prototypes and editing interface elements… I don’t want to start over and do it all again.

No clue at all as to what might be the matter?

Brent_Easton · September 3, 2015, 2:56am

Hi,
I have been trying to squash this bug for ages but have never been able to reproduce it. Could you please send me a link to the failing module?
Cheers,
Brent.

Stiglr · September 3, 2015, 3:05pm

This isn’t a published module, it’s one under construction. Or rather, it’s being updated with a new map.

The “original” module that it’s going to be based on works fine.

If you want a copy of the module as it is right now, perhaps I can get you dropbox or google access to it?

Brent_Easton · September 3, 2015, 9:29pm

Yes Please, I need a module that is failing right now. If it’s not too big you can email it to me via the vassalengine site.

Cheers,
Brent.

Stiglr · September 3, 2015, 9:38pm

It’s large-ish. Let me get some access set up and I’ll post back up here… thanks in advance for having a look.

Brent_Easton · September 4, 2015, 8:32am

Ok, thanks for that, finally tracked this one down.
At some point when modifying the module, you managed to move the Main Map component above the Global Options component in the module editor. There is code in the Map initialisation code (addTo) that assumes the Global Options have already been loaded. Just move the Global Options nack above all maps and the problem will go away.
Regards,
Brent.

Wow… amazing the things that can happen with software like this!!!

Good, you just saved me starting over again! THANK YOU!!!

Stiglr · September 5, 2015, 2:34am

Just got home and tried it on my module. Worked like a charm!!! Again, thank you!!!
