Looks good for me. Thanks!
OK, now comes the mind-numbing part. I have to repeat the process about 120 times to change all of the dice images. It's dull, it's boring, but it's gotta be done.

More importantly, it takes time away from a bunch of other stuff that I need to do for 6.6.7. Working at my own speed, I will try to get a bunch (and I mean like 20-40) done for the 667-beta1 which I hope to put out in a week or so.

Anyone feel like lending a hand? It just the image process. I can stick the new images into the beta .vmod in 2 minutes. If you know how to use GIMP, it takes a minute or so per image.

If you don't change the dice size, it is not an important issue for me.
There certainly are other greater priorities.
Nobody looking at my videos has complained about the dice size, btw.

This should be pretty quickly scriptable via a number of similar tools (e.g. ImageMagick). If you can wait a couple of weeks I can probably bang them out quickly for you.

Sigh ....
Nurse, this one is too far gone.
Put him in with the others.
Keep them dosed with one Journal and one Action Pack at all times.
And for god's sake don't touch their dice!

OK.
British changes the first die of the DICEOVERTHEMAP.

Second one doesn't do jack shit.
Unless you change it. then it doesn't go back to white.
How to reset to white?

OH no shit..it's so obvious....CHANGE TO FRENCH COLOR.

I can do this but not for a couple of weeks. As I believe these are the dice images I made for you, I’ve got the Inkscape vector files. It’s real easy to change size and retain image quality. If two weeks is too long, I’d be happy to send the Inkscape file to someone. You’ve got other things to do Doug.

Super BigAl! Thanks very much. I can certainly wait two weeks. Much appreciated. Indeed these are all the images that you made for me previously.

I have done all of the images for "1" on the coloured die and will include these in the beta so that folks can see them in context and react to the change. I can easily swap your images in later as they will have better quality.

Thanks for the offer. I appreciate it. As you can see, BigAL737, who created the original smaller images, has also agreed to create the larger ones. Since your timelines are both the same, I think it makes sense to take up Al's offer. Cheers.

Dumb question.
I unzipped the VMOD to minimize the folders etc.
How to I get it back to the VMOD file?

I am not sure what you mean, however, when I updated the image in my test all I did was ...
  1. Change the vmod extension to a zip extension
  2. delete the image file from the zip file
  3. add the new, identically named, image file to the same spot in the zip file
  4. change the zip extension to a vmod extension
Open the new vmod using vassal.

He was using some 3rd party zip viewer that displayed the contents by name and path in a list.
