New VASL Version - does it work with old logfiles?

[Jay White]

I'm using the most recent version of vasl, i think -

vasl 4.1.2

vassal 1.3.3.1

When I load an opponent's logfile from weeks ago, I get the map and in the control window it says "null"

And i can't step through his log.

Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution on the way?

Thanks in advance,

-Jay

I am experiencing the same problem, but with regular scenarios saved. When trying to load, says "Null".
Especially with "Silence that Gun", with all hills changed to marsh.

After that, and re-running VASL with 256 colors, it works OK, but losing the visual appearance.

Is this maybe a memory problem? Maybe new version of VASL needs more memory to run as good as before. I got 512 MB.

Guys-

Your questions are best answered by Rodney; you can email him at vasl@vasl.org It's also a good way to let him know about issues so he can fix them.

I cannot find it right now but I don't think that the current VASL has the ability to read old log files but can read old saved games.

The system still has some instabilities in map configuration. The program gives error messages when trying to turn large terrain configurations into something else, i.e. board 3 hills into swamp. As new iterations of VASL come along, I have seen improvements.

BTW, the modules download for scenario setups includes the FKaC. The HOB group download includes the FireFight scenarios.
