Yes, there are HL files in that directory, but there was never a file
by that
name. Something was apparently doing some filename munging, but I
never found
what that was—I could only deduce what the expected URLs were from
looking
at access logs.
Can you reveal what those files/filenames are? I will experiment a bit
with the jnlp file and see if I can’t get it working.
Sure. Sorry for being cryptic, I just didn’t have any of the filenames
or logs handy when I replied.
What I was able to deduce from the web server logs is that the requests
have version numbers as part of the query string. I came up with some
rewrite rules to handle that:
translate version-id into a version-labeled filename
OK. It looks like I’ve been able to get much further in the downloading process. I’ve replaced the parameters in the jnlp file with specific filenames (for HornetLeader jar based on above and for some other files that were filename guesses based on the above info).
However, I run into another failure, this time with a file named MarineAir. Would you mind listing what filenames are in the vassalengine.org/ws directory with the following included in the name:
MarineAir
Vengine
docs
batik
wizard
browserLauncher
crypt.jnlp
I think those are the final ones standing in my way. Once/If I get it working, I will provide a new jnlp file here and provide step-by-step instructions on how to modify it yourself if you’d rather.
I’ve made it further. I just commented out the download for the MarineAir file and the application launches! At this point however, it looks like it launches version 2.9.9 of VASSAL. Is there a specific filename for VASSAL in the ws directory that is the latest version?
Right now, I’ve gotten to the point where it asks me for my registration information, which I have totally forgotten. I’ll report back once I’m able to log in.

Here’s a complete listing of the directory for you:
I’m in and it’s loaded the current version. Unfortunately, I don’t have my registration password so I can’t start a campaign. But it looks like all the charts are there, etc. I don’t know, then, how fully operable this version is.
I spoke to Dan on the phone this morning and he said he was supposed to get an update regarding the timeframe they should have this fixed but he said he is expecting weeks still. So, please try out my version. If it works, I told him I’d send the info on to him.
Hmmm… Thanks for trying them out. I don’t mean to sound condescending and really don’t want to be offensive, but are you sure you are running the files I linked to a few posts back? It looks like from those screenshots your run is looking for files that aren’t even referenced anymore in my edits (especially the demo).
I see you are running it on a Mac. I will be back in front of my Mac in about an hour and will try it there. I’ve been on my Linux netbook all day.
Thanks again for helping try to nail down this problem.
I’ve tried in on my Mac and I too am getting the error still. It looks like it downloaded everything successfully and as it was launching it hit that wall. Interesting that it worked past that in Linux. Any Windows users wanna give it a go?
I found my registration password on an old computer tonight. I put that in the game, started a new campaign and have played a full round of Hornet Leader II now on my Mac with my edited launch files. Everything seems to be working perfectly!
I would certainly not mind giving it a shot. I spoke to Dan yesterday and sent him the jnlp files and he asked the same question. I don’t have a copy of anything else, but if he provides a copy of something to me that doesn’t work, I’d take a look at it.
Fixing these should be mechanical, just a matter of moving the version from the version attribute to the filename, as you did with the HL ones. If you’re going to do this, let me know.
Unfortunately DVG hasn’t been that great to work with. I haven’t really received as much as a thank you from them for fixing the Hornet Leader II module. I still offered to do the others but have not heard anything from them regarding the issue.
I don’t have the other modules and I honestly don’t have a lot of motivation to fix their problems at this point.

I’d like to point out to the original poster that I’ve asked for
volunteers to help with converting all of the DVG modules to VASSAL
3.1, but have had no replies:
