OCS modules: some problems

Module Discussion
1

Hi to everyone.

I’ve just downloaded some OCS modules, latest versions (CB/GBII, DAK2, Baltic Gap, The Blitzkrieg Legend) and the Vassal version 3.2.16.

I don’t see any map or piece and if I’ll go online no one can see me.

Any solution?

Do you have the divider between the map and the chat pane pulled to the
bottom of the window?

Yeah, just found the problem. The divider. Thanks. ^^

I’ve been having the same issue with modules I’ve been building lately - Ikusa has this problem. Is there any way to set the size of the chat pane to a specific height (say, 70 pixels or so)? If so, I’ve missed it somewhere along the line.

There’s no way to set the size of the chat pane without some custom
code. If you go this route, I’d strongly caution against using pixels as
your unit of measure, as that won’t take into account the size of the
user’s fonts.

Would a percentage of the screen height make sense? And how would that code look; are there any example mods I can look at?

No. Percentage of screen height also doesn’t guarantee that the chat
window would be a reasonable height.

I know of no modules which have modified this code, sorry.
