Hi,
I am creating a module for my new Game (Gallipoli 1951). I’ve been using the OCS: Reluctant Enemies modules as an example, following its structure quite closely.
I created a secondary map window (the first of many) for the counter setup cards. However, when I run the module, if I close that window the whole game exists. Yet in the OCS module it just closes that window, not the whole game. As far as I can tell I have exactly the same properties on my main map window and on the secondary map window.
So, how do I configure a map window so that closing is does/does-not close the whole module?
thanks in advance
Geoff
Geoff,
I checked out the Reluctant Enemies vassal module that you are using as a template.
In EDIT mode I see the main map edit window is altered from a normal vassal module with NEW headings and wordings and descriptions!; it also says in the top vassal description “Recompiled for 3.2.15”
Personally, I would NOT recommend using this vassal module as a template since it has been internally altered somehow…
Oh, I noticed that some headings were different and wondered why. Thanks for the tip, and as payment, you get to answer my next question: Which module is a good example for me to follow?
Geoff,
I am posting this discussion in the CSW Vassal forum for you to get more feedback:
talk.consimworld.com/WebX?14@@.ee6f15c/7862
As far as recommendations I am biased towards my own vassal modules but here is a list:
If you are using random chits drawn from a cup use this: vassalengine.org/wiki/Module:Across_5_Aprils
If you are using random maps and drawing cards use this: http://www.vassalengine.org/wiki/Module:Kriegspiel_(1970)
For a straight up vassal module: that works well: vassalengine.org/wiki/Module … _Eggshells
And for a vassal module that has TONs of unique complicated features to use as a resource: vassalengine.org/wiki/Module … _of_Shiloh
Thanks. I’ll try Across 5 Aprils, because Gallipoli 1915 also has chit pulls
All of the OCS modules contain heaps of custom Java classes developed by the late George Heyward. I wouldn’t recommend using them as the basis for anything unless you are very sure of what you are doing.
