How do you set the size of this window ? Some modules get it right, and too many others get it wrong. By wrong I mean the window is larger than my screen and I can’t use any of the controls to select side, map, etc.
So, how do I edit the module to correctly size the wizard window ?
Help appreciated!
Thus spake “RedMike”:
You can’t. This is one of the many reasons why I intend to completely
rewrite it for VASSAL 3.2.

How come some work and some don’t then ? What determines the size window ?
I thought it went by whatever size the splash screen image was?
Here’s a pic of what I’m talking about.

Is one of the entries in that drop-down box extremely long?

I have no idea, but I don’t think so.
Should be something like Nato, Soviet, maybe Solitaire, and Observer.
It drives me crazy!
Thus spake “RedMike”:
How about looking at the options and reporting back?

It’s like I said…
The map selections…
For what it’s worth, I just downloaded and tried the same module - World at War.
Upon opening it indeed completely filled my screen and trailed off the bottom, although it fit width-wise so I was able to grab the corner and pull it downwards to resize it.
I suspected this was due to the massive splash screen, and after manually deleting it from the module and reloading, got this MUCH more manageable Quick Start (see attached)
If you want to fix your own copy - open the module with Winzip or Winrar or whatever and delete “Splash.gif” from the Images subfolder.
Cool! I will do that. Thanks man.

I’d actually like to know where in the module edit window one can set a splash page.
I found the WaW one by simple trial and error poking around the images directory, still don’t know where to actually set that option…
