| Hello everyone,
I've placed the skirmish module on the VassalEngine.org site under modules. Here is the direct URL: http://www.vassalengine.org/community/index.php?option=com_vassal_modules&task=display&module_id=202&page=Files
When downloading the module, it may have the extension of ".mod" or ".zip". It doesn't matter what extension it has. Do not unzip the module.
Module 1-10-2 contains all the the legal units released through the War of the Dragon Queen and all the legal maps through Dragondown Grotto.
The EC Extension has been updated to version 3.1. It includes the Colossal Red Dragon (at 8x8 ), Gargantuan Black Dragon, and related maps.
The EC extension file is a zip file that contains the Eternal Campaign extension for the 1-10-2 module. Basically, this includes the original base map, the Lost Temple, Dragon's Hoard, and the two OC maps (Kobold Sewers and King of the Hill). The EC extension also includes the original "official" tiles and several tiles that support new spells in the Eternal Campaign that alter terrain.
To install the EC extension, simply download the EC zip file and extract (unzip) it into the folder that already contains the module file. The folder that is created needs to match the name of the module with a small change. Replace the extension of the module with "_ext". For instance, if the module is called "DDM_1-10-2.mod" the folder needs to be named "DDM_1-10-2_ext". The next time you load the Skirmish module, you should have the extra maps and tiles available.
A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed included Galneweinhaw for the maps and Hougar for corrections. Everyone's help is very much appreciated.
Finally, if you want to report problems with the mod, please do so in this thread.
Thanks,
Don | |

| I'm having a problem, maybe not because of the new mod, but it just started when I downloaded it.
When I join someone else's game, and they are playing on the Teleport Temple, I synchronize, but only the figures come up, no map.
I've deleted and reinstalled both vassal 2.7 and the 10.2 mod, along with the EC extension, but it still keeps happening.
No one else seems to be having this problem however, so I don't know what I should do. I've restarted my computer, turned it off and on, it just doesn't make any sense.
Has this been a problem in the past?
And if so, is there a solution?
Or do I just live with it?
Thanks

| This Mod( 1-10-2 )changed the name of the Teleport Temple to ...Teleport Temple (Epic), for easier recognition of valid epic maps. This is causing the "invisible map" problem. But this problem should only occur if you are playing/watching someone with the older 1-10-1 version.
On a side note...the maps look Great! | |

| | Another thing I found with the new mod, or maybe its the new version, is that when you undo movement, the counters for the undone movement don't go away. It might not always happen, but it happened like 4 or 5 times in the game I played last night. | | | |

| The mod has added the new maps and made a few corrections to unit features. Any changes to undo, movement, or the movement trails is a result of the new Vassal update (2.7?) I believe you or your opponent were using the new version of Vassal and that is causing the troubles. Please let me know if that is not the case.
Also - sorry for the trouble renaming the Teleport Temple. I believe it is was a necessary change, but I forgot it would cause troubles. | |

Hmm, good question. I wasn't planning on it, but I could. If someone can scan in the new map, I'll update the mod with him (her?). I'll add the latest Epics too then. I do need the map though. | |

| | Hmm, didn't I make him 6x6? It was my intention to do so. If that isn't big enough, let me know. I got my information from the Wizards product guide. | |

| | The CRD is 8X8, im not sure why, something to do with the size of the figure I guess. | |

| Sorry it took so long, I've released an update to the EC Exension that
has the Colossal Red at 8x8. I sure wish Wizards would have updated
their product descriptions. It would have saved me some work.

| | I downloaded the module into a folder named Vassal_DDM, it came out under a .mod.zip file. Next I downloaded the extension file into my documents and extracted it into the Vassal DDM folder. It came out with _ext, as expected. But when I quick launch Vassal from the site and click on Play Module and then DDM_1-10-2.mod, I don't have the new maps or the bigs dragons. What am I doing wrong? | |

| Let's see if I have this right:
You have a folder called Vassal_DDM.
Inside this folder is a file called DDM_1-10-2.mod.zip and a folder called DDM_1-10-2_ext.
If this is correct, I believe you need to change the name of the file to "DDM_1-10-2.mod". The name of the 2nd folder needs to match the name of the mod file. In the case I have listed, I believe the 2nd folder name could also be changed to "DDM_1-10-2.mod" and it would work. (I'm not positive on this as I can't test it right now.)
Let me know if this works or not. | |

| | I changed DDM_1-10-2.mod.zip to only .zip and it worked. So I don't know if your solution would have work too... | |

| | Ah yes, that would work too. Technically, it is a zip file, but it isn't supposed to be unzipped. Vassal does that for you. So, generally, the extension is changed to mod. Either way, the root file name needs to match the secondary folder name with the _ext on it. In other words, your solution is fine! | |
