VASSAL application icon

Just a head’s up on what I’ve noticed with build 3388:

  • Extension folders are being created for every module.
  • Preferences not saving.
  • And this one is weird. When editing a module which has forward slashes (/) in the piece names, everything from the slash forward is being truncated. For example, A piece called “1/1/14 Scribner” is being converted to “1” when edited in 3388. This does not happen in 3.0.17

the archive is treating the forward slash as a path separator. I haven’t noticed a real problem with this though as I’ve only seen it crop up when you actually open the archive. When does it truncate?

Thus spake “Michael Kiefte”:

Wait, are you two talking about the same thing? Is the problem with
piece names, or the names of piece image files?

No, I’m talking about the image names. I’ve never noticed a problem otherwise.

Yep, that’s a feature of the new Extensions Manager that allows extensions to be activated/deactivated. It probably doesn’t need to create the Extensions directory until the first Extension is added in the Module Manager.

Known problem, I have just booked in a fix.

It’s with the actual names of the pieces as would appear in the Piece window when you play a module Joel. They’re being truncated as soon as I open the module for Editing (works fine when opening to play).

Ah ok, that’s nice. As you suggest it’s probably best not to create the extensions folder unless necessary.

Good effort, thanks Brent. I didn’t mean to start this conversion in the application icon thread, gah!

Since my last try … i have improved my skills in Inskape and i can propose this new icon …

Better background management and new metal effect …

Contact me by MP if you want to get the svg file …

I like it.

I like it a lot. It blends in well with the tango theme.

I like it. My only thought would be to make the hex border a different color than the fill, to pop out the actual hex a bit.

Or not. :stuck_out_tongue:
