I did experiment a little bit with using an extension. It didn't work out quite the way I wanted. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I know it wasn't good. I'll try to experiment with it again and see what happens.

Hello Everyone,

The latest module is ready to be released and is available here: http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~pnmcomputers/ in the left hand panel. This one has lots of new features.

First, here are the things that are no longer in the module:

1. The Unofficial tiles have been removed due to space limitations.
2. The RPG tiles have been removed due to space limitations.
3. There were several tiles that were flipped to be consistant with the new tiles. The old versions of these tiles were included in the module so that older versions of the module would still work. These old versions of the module have been removed.

I'd like to thank Old Coast for helping me with manipulating images. This module would not look like it does without his help.

Here is the list of new features:

1. A new map called King of the Hill created by Old Coast.
2. The End Game tile.
3. Labels for dual activation creatures. When you move a dual activation creature, it will have a Red "Move" label on it. This will go away when you click on the MOV button or right click and mark a movement moved. A new right click feature that indicates "2nd Move". Clicking this will have a Black "MOVE" label come up over the top of the Red "Move". The text on the unit that appears in the log will now say "Unit 2nd move".
4. Right clicking any of the cone or radius templates will display an option to change cones into the various shapes or radius in the various radius.
5. All units that have a cone or radius special ability or spell can be right clicked to produce the cones or radius.
6. There are new radius templates for the different commanders. Basically, commander 6 templates for 1x1, 2x2, and 3x3 commanders. These effects can be retrieved by right clicking a commander and selecting Commander Effect.
7. Units that have require a radius 6 effect also can be right clicked to produce this effect.
8. Movement Trails are available on all units. Clicking the MOV button at the end of the turn will reset the current movement trails. Right clicking a unit and selecting the "Mark Moved" will either turn on the Current movement trail or reset the trail. Right clicking a unit and selecting "Movement Trail" will toggle the movement trail for the unit to be off or on. In other words, this should stop the movement trail from displaying for that unit.

I will be doing some final testing with the new mod this evening and I expect it to get released within the next few days. If you have any comments or suggestions, please ask away.

I also have set list updates in a similar fashion. Perhaps we can write some code in the mod that when run it checks for the latest list of maps and if there is a new list and/or map images are missing it will download them automatically ... Or we could even write a very simple app that does nothing but check for the latest maps and tiles and units and such ... basically a mod autoupdater app ... that is getting high-tech, but is a relatively simple solution.

Thank you, tullywi, jai, oldcoast and everyone else who have made available vassal and mod 1.7.3 for all the deprived ddm players out there. [:D]

I was wondering whether (1) there is a toggle button to switch off globally the movement tracking trails and (2) there is an option for the creator of a lock room to unlock a room subsequently.[?]

Thank you.

Thanks for answering these TKort. I'll just add a few things.

I really like the Movement Trails, but they are sort of a pain. I originally thought that the CTRL T (or right clicking and selecting Movement Trail) was a toggle that turned off the movement trail for the mini. I was wrong. What I tend to do now is turn the trails off individually after my turn is finished and I'm waiting for my opponent to move. TKort's suggestion of either Shift and clicking each unit or clicking and dragging to select a bunch of minis does work to turn them off for the current turn. (CTRL T when you have a bunch of them highlighted). I wish I had another means of doing it but I don't.

Locking and unlocking a room is a Vassal function. I don't have any control of it in the module.
