Counter problem in Twilight Struggle

I’m using Vassal 3.1.20 and TS module 3.0.10a running on Windows Vista.

When i’m using an event or an option (coup) that alters the number of the counters in a region, then it gets confused as it disappears visually the counters to be removed but internally it keeps them and it counts them as if they were present.

P.e. when usa coups Pakistan where ussr had 2 inf and the dice result removes all 2 ussr inf and places 2 usaa inf, the engine doesn’t give control to the usa because it considers that the ussr inf are present even if the were removed.

This happens with every opponent thay i have played, even with them who are using same engine and module as i do, so i think that it’ s my fault.

What happens if you change the influence totals manually? Do you get the same behaviour?

Yes, it happens the same.

The only thing I can’t think of is that this is an unusual
internationalization issue.

Do you have any internationalization settings on in VASSAL?

No, i don’t.

I have to tell you though that when i initiate the TS module i get a pop-up message which says: “Version mismatch. This module was created using version 3.1.15 of VASSAL. You are using version 3.1.2, which is older. It’s recommended that you upgrade to at least VASSAL 3.1.15 before using this module.”

How come 3.1.2 i older than 3.1.15? This is a downgrade not an upgrade. In addition, as far as i know, version 3.1.2 is much better and stabler than the older versions when it comes to TS.

3.1.2 is a lot older than 3.1.15. I’m not sure where you’re getting your
info.

However, the TS module won’t work with versions starting with 3.2. Is that
maybe where the problem is?

Possibly you’re not grasping how software version numbers work

A.B.C is newer than D.E.F if and only if:

  • A > D, or
  • A = D and B > E, or
  • A = D, B = E, and C > F.

(That is, within on element of a version number, the values are
numerically ordered, but the elements themselves are are
lexicographically ordered from left to right.)

This is why 3.2.x > 3.1.15, for any x.
