Technical Support & Bugs

I tried to import an ADC module into VASSAL, using the ‘Tools\Convert Module…’ menu, but to no avail. Here is the error log file:

Can anyone help me understand what went wrong? Thanks.

We’d need to see the ADC2 module to be able to tell what’s wrong. Where can we get it?

Are you sure this module works in ADC2 to begin with?

5

No, sorry, I cannot confirm that it works in ADC2.

6

Ok. Sorry, I just can’t verify that this module should be importable. My guess is that it’s either corrupt or there’s something unusual about it that our importer can’t handle.

I wanted to point out that I was able to import the module using version 3.2.17 of the Vassal engine.
Maybe there is something wrong with the latest versions?

8

You should be able to save the module you imported with 3.2.17 and use that with later versions of Vassal.

If someone wants to investigate the problem further, all the information necessary is in this topic.
