I have d/l the vassal engine and the shadows over camelot files but cannot get the module to load. I am using most recent OSX.
What should I be doing to get it working?
Thanks,
Alex

Please describe the steps you’re taking. How does it fail?

I’ve installed the latest versions of vassal and osx.
I d/l the module from mediafire.com/?ek4mfbltomg
I open Vassal.
I attempt to open the module. For every file I’ve tried loading, it says Invalid Vassal Module.
So what am I doing wrong?

I can’t tell from your description. The module I downloaded from that
link works for me.
Please tell me exactly the steps you’re taking to open the module.

I hadn’t noticed before that you said you were using a Mac.
If I had to guess, I’d say that you unzipped the module and are tyring
to open the files which were inside it. The file you downloaded is the
module; it’s the file you’re supposed to open with VASSAL. Macs seem
to have nasty habit of unzipping ZIP archives (which is what a module
is) when you download them.

J.So do I rezip it to filename.zip? or something different? And yes, sorry about the whole Mac thing. I have become what I hate but generally it is much easier. No crashing/bluescreens.

I have since d/l a zip maker, ziped the folder, and gotten told it isn’t a valid module again.

The simplest thing to do would be to download the module again. See here:
