The next beta release is now available. Please PM if you'd like to kick the tyres.
This release completes integration with the ASL Scenario Archive - the last beta let you search it for scenarios, now you can also update it.
Once you've set up a scenario, in its scenario card there is a new
Upload button, which will let you upload to the ASL Scenario Archive:
- your vasl-templates scenario setup
- a VASL save file (i.e. the .vsav file)
- a screenshot of the VASL setup
Just load your
.vsav file into the dialog and the program will automatically generate a screenshot for it, or you can add one of your own. Once you're happy with everything, upload it.
NOTE: You will need to register at the ASL Scenario Archive website, and get an API token from your My Page.
Then, when people search for that scenario, they will be able to see your screenshot (e.g. so they can check their map configuration against it):
The program uses a new image viewer, which is seriously cool, and importantly, lets you rotate the images so you can match it up with your own setup.
People will also be able to download the
vasl-templates scenario setup, or VASL save file:
If you'd like to see this in action, the example scenarios supplied with the program have all been uploaded, so search for:
- Hill 621
- Hube's Pocket
- The Streets Of Stalingrad
Note that if you download the VASL save files for these, they will take a short while to open in VASSAL, as they download images from the internet.
A big shout-out to Dave Ramsey for the work he did at his end to make this happen, he was incredibly responsive to requests. And for y'all out there who enjoy using VASL, the ASL Scenario Archive,
vasl-templates and all the other goodies people have built, here's your chance to put something back in, and help build up a library of scenario setups that we can all benefit from ?
