Hi,
today I downloaded the Conflict of Heroes v3.0.0 module. Happy to play when I’m traveling. But when I open the modul, the maps are only grey bars. Also, no scenario can be choosen.
Does anyone know, how to fix this issue.
Thanks
There are several CoH modules; I presume the one you’re referring to is here?
I concur—I see only what appear to be map borders, no maps. Have you tried contacting the project owner or uploader of the module about the problem?
Not yet. I’m more or less new with Vassal. I’ve to look how, but I’ll do it.
Thx
I presume there was some kind of error made by the designer. There are 20 .vsav files inside the module that presumably correspond to predefined setups, but no configuration was made in the Editor to link to them and show them as choices for users.
I suspect it requires extensions as the Conflict of Heroes v. 1.15 which is Here does. These two modules v3 and v1.15 look very similar and use many of the same toolbar buttons.
But even adding the extension to the 1.15 gives mismatch errors for the extension/board names when the scenarios are run. (Also, I checked, the version 3 module does accept the 1.15 board extensions, although there is no way without the project owner’s verification if that is the correct extensions for the v3 module.)
With the game only having 5 small maps, it seems using extensions is probably overplanning a bit and adds module complexity for users when the map boards could just be part of the main module to begin with. My two cents.
I suspect they are using the VASL module reasoning here, but the VASL module has numerous maps/boards which makes extensions a necessary evil. Here it just seems unnecessary.
