Map image fails to load when Vassal run from within Eclipse

Development
1

Hi guys,

My apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere — a search through the forums failed to provide a solution.

I have downloaded the Vassal source via CVS as per the instructions, and setup in Eclipse (Helios). I can run both the Module Manager and Player run configurations. However, when I load any module, the map images fail to load and I get the following error message at the Vassal console (using Russian Front module as an example):

  • Russian Front-E version 2.1.3_E-1.0
  • Bad Data in Module: Error reading image RFTmap-6-23-09.gif(0,0)@1:1
  • Bad Data in Module: Error reading image RFTmap-6-23-09.gif(2,0)@1:1
  • Bad Data in Module: Error reading image RFTmap-6-23-09.gif(4,0)@1:1

  • Bad Data in Module: Error reading image RFTmap-6-23-09.gif(0,1)@1:1

All other images, including game-pieces and hex-numbering display properly.

I am running a Windows 7 64-bit system with jdk 1.6.0_23 installed. Further, I am able to run a standalone install of Vassal without issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Jason,

First, to make sure we are talking apples and apples, please confirm the
following interpretations from your email:

  • You downloaded the source for VASSAL-src/tags/v3_1_15
  • You setup launch parameters for a module for both the Player and Editor
  • You right-clicked on …launch.ModuleManager.java and ran the MM fine as
    an application.
  • You right-clicked on …launch.Player.java and ran the Player fine as an
    application.
  • You right-clicked on …launch.Editor.java to run the Editor, and
    encountered the errors described

If any of the above is wrong, please correct.

Regards,

Pieter

What are you running out of Eclipse? The trunk or the 3.1.15 tag? Looks like
one of the trunk issues

It’s likely you’ll have problems with the trunk - that is the future 3.2
version in development and is always in a state of working/non-working flux.
It is better to run against the latest public version which currently is the
3.1.15 tagged branch.

If your set up correctly should run without no problems.

Btw we’ve been using SVN over CVS - have for quite a long while now

Yes, my mistake…I downloaded via SVN. And, Pieter, your recommendation to download from the /tag/v3_1_15 directory worked; everything works fine now. Thanks for the help, guys!
