POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH WASHINGTON'S WAR MODULE

Technical Support & Bugs
1

I am currently involved in play testing the game “Washingtons War”. There is a VASSAL module for it and the version number is .971

I have VASSAL and the version I am using is version 3.017

So far everything has been going smoothly except when I first load the module I get a warning message that doesn’t make any sense. In essence it asks me to ‘upgrade to a newer version of VASSAL’ when the version it is using is already old. In other words I already have installed a newer version. The exact message wording is:

This module was created using version 3.1.0 beta4 of the VASSAL engine. You are using 3.0.17. It’s recommended you upgrade to the latest version of the VASSAL engine.

I’m sending this now because I seem to have lost all of my data for the game I was playing.

Any help appreciated.

Thus spake “xlegion”:

I’m confused about what you’re confused about. :slight_smile:

The message is telling you that the module was created with a version of
VASSAL which is newer than the one you’re loading it with.

3.0.17 is older than 3.1.0-beta4, hence the message. The fact that 3.1.0-beta4
is itself no longer current isn’t relevant here.

Where do I get the latest version of VASSAL beta or not I would like to give it a try.

Thus spake “xlegion”:

The latest beta (3.1.0-beta6) is available here:

sourceforge.net/project/showfil … _id=260612

If you want something even newer, the current development build (presently
3.1.0-svn4666) is available here:

nomic.net/~uckelman/tmp/vassal/

Ok, got the new version and I have installed it.

A question though.

In some versions of VASSAL when I start it up, it immediately goes to some screen where I can pick what module I want to open. This latest version that I downloaded does that.

The version that I downloaded before started up with a colorful VASSAL screen and had several buttons to choose from etc…

Why the two different types of start ups?? Which start up should be occurring?

I’m brand new to this VASSAL system and think it is awesome. Keep up the good work guys. This is terrific.

Thus spake “xlegion”:

The Module Manager (the window with the module library) is the newer of the
two, and what you should see starting with VASSAL 3.1.
