I recently installed the Vassal software in order to play the Dice Masters game online. However, when I try to open the modules that I have downloaded it tells me that they are ‘Invalid’ modules. I am unable to determine why the modules will not work, since I have installed/downloaded everything that was recommended/required. I am at my wit’s end and would appreciate some insights and suggestions from other users.

Are you using “Import Module” instead of “Open Module”? That’s the
typical cause of this.
(“Import” is for converting non-VASSAL modules to VASSAL’s format.)

I will try. Thank you for the response.
It told me that the modules could not be imported.

That’s what “Import Module” is supposed to do with native VASSAL
modules. You should not Import native modules. They do not need to
be imported, as they’re already in VASSAL’s native format. Use “Open
Module” to open VASSAL modules.
If you’re having a problem with “Open Module”, post the exact error
message here, and point us to the file you’re trying to open. (The
most likely problem is that you’re trying to open a ZIP archive which
contains a module, rather than a module. If that’s the case, unzip
the file first.)
