"Wrong order" of module extensions

[uckelman]

Thus spake “meng”:

I have VASSAL installed on three different Linux systems, with the Combat Com
mander: Europe module and its 4 extensions.

On one of my systems (which also happens to be the one I use most), whenever
I open the CC:E module, I get this listing:

• Combat Commander: Europe version 2.0
• Extension 1. Combat Commander - Mediterranean v2.0 loaded
• Extension 3. Battle Pack 1 - Paratroopers v2.0 loaded
• Extension 2. Battle Pack 0 - European Nations v2.0 loaded
• Extension 4. Battle Pack 2 - Stalingrad v2.0 loaded

even though I added the extensions in order 1-2-3-4. I think this is why my m
odule checksum is different from anyone else’s. Removing and re-adding the ex
tensions makes no difference.

In the main VASSAL windows, the order of extensions is 1-2-3-4.

Were you able to find a solution?

No solution, but an update to the problem:

I’ve tried creating a fresh VASSAL folder with a “new installation” of VASSAL and the modules, and even copied my VASSAL from another computer that had them listed in order 1-2-3-4. Still, on this computer the extensions are still listed 1-3-2-4 and the module checksum is different.

I suspect there is some computer-specific factor causing this, since I can’t find that there are any hidden configuration files inside or outside the VASSAL folder. I’m not sure what else to do. Assuming the checksum is there as a measure against players hacking modules to unfair advantage, then it’s probably worth ensuring that the checksum is independent of module order listing.
