Vassal logs files will not load post .22 update for LHY Module

Technical Support & Bugs
1

Have not yet had any problems with other modules but as most of my PBEM gaming is with Last Hundred Yards this has become a major inconvenience for casual and league play. Am currently using v3.7.23. Issue first presented after updating to v.22. I uninstalled and reinstalled vassal and JRE all to no avail. Attached is error message my opponent is receiving and link to offending log file itself.

This is a waste of time at best and harmful for debugging at worst. Do not do this unless you’ve identified the problem and know reinstalling will solve it.

Btw, it looks like you’re on Windows. The Vassal Windows packages all come with their own JRE—they will not use one you’ve installed separately, so there is no point to installing a JRE at all if you have nothing else that uses it.

Where can we get the module the save was written with?

My assumption is that you (and the opponent?) mean to be using this with the current latest version (5.0.2) of the Last Hundred Yards module. If that’s not accurate, please add more information.

The reason the saved game file you posted will not load in that module is that it was produced with an entirely different module. Inspecting the moduledata file inside the .vsav shows the following metadata:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<data version="1">
  <version>* 8 *</version>
  <extra1>Pacific Theater of Operations</extra1>
  <extra2>Game Design by Mike Denson</extra2>
  <VassalVersion>3.7.20</VassalVersion>
  <dateSaved>1772812659037</dateSaved>
  <description>Pacific Mission Pack</description>
  <name>LHY PTO Playtest</name>
</data>

So if this is a two-person game, one of you is producing files using a module named LHY PTO Playtest, version * 8 *. Both participants need to be using that exact same module for things to work.

I’ve tried it. You can’t. It’s not the correct module. Hence my question about where we can get the module.

Thanks all for quick reply. Double checking with opponent now. Took it for granted we were both using the PTO mod (as it’s a pacific scenario not ETO). Will apprise…

The Opponent Here,

I am using LHY PTO Playtest *8*
