I am running Vassal 3.2.10 under Linux Mint Debian, using Kernel Linux 3.10-2-amd64 and MATE 1.6.0. I launched Vassal from a terminal window with the command: bash VASSAL.sh
I made all my board and piece images, and three html help files, so now I am trying to make a new module. This will be Twixt 1.1. I have new everything, so I am making a new module rather than editing the old one. In the Module Editor, I right-clicked [Help Menu] and chose Add HTML Help File. I selected the Folder /home/david/games/Vassal/modules/Twixt and typed in the file name, TwixtOnVassal.html and clicked OK. I got the following error message:
VASSAL was unable to write the file '/tmp/VASSALhelp3825801006990632459.zip'.

This html file references three image files in the subdirectory /images:
images/Help_fig01.png size 800x500
images/Help_fig02.png size 800x550
images/paper.gif size 100x100, tiled background image
I do not understand this “duplicate entry” complaint. I can view the html file just fine with Firefox 26.0.
I am running Vassal 3.2.10 under Linux Mint Debian, using Kernel Linux
3.10-2-amd64 and MATE 1.6.0. I launched Vassal from a terminal window
with the command: bash VASSAL.sh
I made all my board and piece images, and three html help files, so now
I am trying to make a new module. This will be Twixt 1.1. I have new
everything, so I am making a new module rather than editing the old one.
In the Module Editor, I right-clicked [Help Menu] and chose Add HTML
Help File. I selected the Folder /home/david/games/Vassal/modules/Twixt
and typed in the file name, TwixtOnVassal.html and clicked OK. I got the
following error message:
Are you able to reproduce the problem by following these steps?
Yes. Despite the error, an entry was added to the [Help Menu], but when I go to the Twixt window and select it from the Help menu, nothing happens. I deleted the Help Menu entry, just in case that was the duplication it was complaining about, saved the module, completely exited Vassal, and turned off the machine. This morning I started Vassal, right clicked on the Twixt module and chose edit, and repeated the error. I was unable to attach the original module to this post because it was too big. I removed 20 of the 22 board images, and I increased my heap size to 1024 MB, but the error persists. Attached is my reduced size module.
I downloaded the above attached vmod file under Windows 7 and repeated the error.
Here is the Windows 7 error message:

I’m not surprised that once you get a duplicate entry in the ZIP file
(which is what a module is), that the error is repeateable. What I
was asking about is whether you can repeat the sequence of events which
created such a module file.
Yes. Despite the error, an entry was added to the [Help Menu], but when
I go to the Twixt window and select it from the Help menu, nothing
happens. I deleted the Help Menu entry, just in case that was the
duplication it was complaining about, saved the module, completely
exited Vassal, and turned off the machine. This morning I started
Vassal, right clicked on the Twixt module and chose edit, and repeated
the error. I was unable to attach the original module to this post
because it was too big. I removed 20 of the 22 board images, and I
increased my heap size to 1024 MB, but the error persists. Attached is
my reduced size module.
I see why you’re having this problem now: Java’s ZipOutputStream is
not happy when you try to add a duplicate entry to a ZIP archive.
VASSAL modules always have a directory in them called ‘images’, so
when you try to add another directory to the root called ‘images’,
ZipOutputStream balks.
How were you able to add your local folder? I have my files saved in a local folder but when I select the folder using the Content button it doesn’t add the folder as a web address so when I come back to the option later is has returned to it’s null state.
