What is it possible to do????

Hey community!!
I just finish the rules of my board game and i did a very basic module in order to test it…
but there is a problem, its too long to play with this module (not very practical). So is it possible to:

  1. have a button to show/hide player hand.
  2. have like a turn counter which allow me to have choice (ex: its turn 1, i have two choice, draw or put a card on the board) which allow me to just click on draw and then i draw automatically. (like in the Twilight Struggle module if u know it)
  3. have cards whose automatically do their propreties. (in my game you have to put card on a turn, if i put a card on the 5th turn, i want if i’m on the 5st turn that this card proprietie be activate automatically (like + 2 blue cube))
  4. when i play with my friend online with this module, even if we’re on the same game, i didnt saw the card move on my screen if my friend had moved them!!!it was just say in the command bar, card 1 move to deck X…but he can draw the 40 cards in the deck and so do I !!! whats the problem?

Sorry for my bad english, i’m French.
Thanks in advance,
Board game power!!!

You need to make sure you synchronize the games first.
(I’m not sure what the French translated version of that would be).

Ok, thanks for your quick answer!!!
I got Vassal in english, dont worry :slight_smile:
I didnt find anything, how does synchronizing work??
Thanks again

In the user guide, this is explained on pages 5 & 6.
See the section “To join a game on the server”

thanks man!!!

if anyone else know if it is possible to do the 1) , 2), 3), i will be in heaven…
thx

  1. when you add a player hand to a module in the player hand properties box you can specify an icon and/or text that appears on the main bar

2 & 3 ) yes but it’s complex or may require custom coded java traits that you would have to write yourself

thx you,
can i try to find this code on another module ( like just copy paste + change the name of the variable)?

No - custom code is usually module/game specific
