But it dosent show up… just a blank page opens up but no game…

We need more context. Click where? Is this on the module page in our website? In your file browser? In VASSAL’s module manager? Somewhere else?

Again, where is this? What file is “the Vassal file”?

A blank page opens in what? After you’ve done what?

You have to describe in more detail what you’re doing if we’re going to be of any help.

Possibly you could post a screenshot showing what you’re seeing.

Thus spake jerryjugend:

yes i click on the module page in your website and the module is just
there,… downloaded in 1 second… so my thoughts are that something
dosent download , the first time i downloaded it took some time to
download as usual, but now when i have removed the game, to test
downloading again, there are no downloading time.

EiA_2.vmod is only 6.6MB. It should only take a second or so download.

You need to open VASSAL, then go to File > Open Module and choose the
file you downloaded.

and i downloaded the vassal version as of 29th of november
(and it wiped out all my downloaded games …:frowning: )

Thanks for the screenshot. I see what’s wrong now. The EiA ver 2 module is unusual, in that it requires one of the two module extensions to be loaded for you to have a map and pieces, and the designers of this module neglected to explain this on the module’s page. If you download one of the two module extensions (1805.vmdx or 1792.vmdx) and add one of those to the module (right click on the module entry in the module manager, select Add Extension, then open the module after that) you’ll be able to use the module.

If the modules you’ve opened stop appearing in the Module Manager, that usually means a corrupted or unreadable preferences file.

13

This isn’t a design choice I’d have made, but the EiA module designer appears to have put the maps and scenarios in module extensions. So you’ll have to download either the 1792.vmdx and/or 1805.vmdx files in addition to the base module, then install them (hint: right-click the Empires in Arms module as viewed in your list of modules and choose “Add Extension…”).

EDIT: Sniped by uckelman!

Right click on the module entry in the module manager. Select “Add Extension” from the menu. Choose the .vmdx file in the file chooser.

I clicked on the google chrome to open the vmdx-file and now its gone mad it just load and load and load… what to do …? How to get rid of this…?

I don’t understand what you’re doing. You don’t open the .vmdx in your browser. Maybe someone else can help you?
