Hello community,
I am trying to add a new deck of cards to an existing module ('65: Squad-Level Combat in the Jungles of Vietnam found here: vassalengine.org/wiki/Module … of_Vietnam). There is a solitaire expansion I would like to add.
I’ve scanned the cards and counters. Adding the counters was easy, and it seems like adding the cards should be as well. I followed the examples I’ve seen in other modules and online; basically:
1- Adding a new map window
1a - Adding a new board with fixed dimensions to hold the cards and space for a discard pile. Both spaces have a highlight when empty.
1b - I add two decks. I’ve configured the offsets and sizes properly. One deck is the draw pile (with two cards in it right now - just to test) and one is a discard pile. The discard pile is set to repopulate the draw deck when commanded.
The two cards in the draw pile have a unique image and name for the basic trait, and share the same mask trait - set to “display style: Plain”
I configured the map window to be selected visible/hide on the main bar with just a text box. That function works fine.
However - I cannot, for the life of me, get the cards to show up. Neither do the outlines for the decks. If I change the background color of the board, that does change.
If I do the exact sequence with another module (or my own) things work fine.
Is there some global setting which could be getting “in the way” higher up the chain?
I would appreciate any ideas at all at this point - I’m pulling my hair out. If you are so inclined, download the subject module and try adding a deck yourself - if you can get it to work, let me know!
Thanks in advance,
–Josh
