Cannot install WIF Module 3_20a

Module Support

I had finished the install loading, but there was a start-up error. I had already updated the latest versions of Java and Vassal.

This is the error log:

  • There is no need or use for a separate Java install on Windows since Vassal 3.3.0.
  • You say there was a start-up error. What was it? Describe what message you saw or what happened.

Try emptying the tile cache first. Then retry an install. Be aware that Vassal does the tiling process in stages. You will see the tiling window opening and closing several times during the process. Start the tile process and go and enjoy a cuppa.
Welcome to approach me directly, via a message through this server or do a post on the WiF facebook page. After all, it is one of my modules and I’d like to help where possible.

There is a very limited range of issues which reinstalling anything can fix. If Vassal runs, reinstalling it is unlikely to touch whatever problem you’re having.

You might want to check the value set for the limit of the tiler’s max heap. (See Tiler tab in the Preferences dialog in the Module Manager.). To what is that set?

Otherwise, we need more information to continue troubleshooting.

Hi: I reset the tile max heap to 2048, and that got me in the programme.
thanks for the pointer.

Dear Don:

I did download 3.20 successfully.
But 3.20a might have some bugs.I don’t where the error log is (yet).

I hope the following helps:

That ‘equation’ is used in the mouse over stack viewer. There is likely to be a counter on the map that has not been defined properly and when the mouse cursor passes over that counter Vassal throws up that error message (that yellow counter with “AIR TO GROUND STRIKE OR SUPPORT” is the culprit, I forgot to add the appropriate prototype to it). Fear not though, the message is only sent once and it does not affect any other counters on the map that are properly defined.
The other errors relate to 4 aircraft that have had their reverse layer images redone. A refresh counters will resolve those.

Did that resolve the matter? The next versions do (apart from those aircraft as anyone who is updating from an earlier version will get the same error messages)
