I have Vassal 3.1.17 on my Macbook (OSX 10.5.. I am trying to load Wilderness War 2.3.vmod, and have both JavaforMac10.5Update5.dmg and Update7.dmg loaded. When I open Vassal, click ‘import module’ and navigate to the WW .vmod file, I’m told that this file cannot be imported into Vassal.
Can you help?

Use File - Open Module.
“Import Module” is mislabeled…it’s for importing Aide de Camp modules into Vassal.

“Import module” is the wrong menu item. It’s for importing non-VASSAL
modules. You want “Open”.

It’s not mislabeled. For ages, across many apps, “Import” has meant
“open and convert a foreign file format”. It seems that users these
days are not aware of this. Nonetheless…

Fair enough. “Misplaced” then. I believe this menu item should be on the Tools menu, and the label should be “Import Aide de Camp Module.” Evidently its purpose is not clear where it is, and with its current label.
I already committed a fix for this. Its never been added to builds though
