VASL 6.5.0 468 deploy as 238

[Robin Reeve]

Hi,
I just noticed that the German Wehrmacht 468, when they deploy become 238 (with the circled E exponent).
The other squad types work correctly.

Interesting, Mine doesn't do that.

Are you using version 6.5.0?

Are you using version 6.5.0?

Yes.

How strange !

How strange !

Disable your extensions temporarily (rename the folder) and try again? Maybe it's a specific 4-6-8 with this issue

Using VASL 6.5.0 and VASSAL 3.2.17 mine deploy correctly:

 

[Robin Reeve]

So I tested my expansions, and the culprit was the BFPv4 one.
I downloaded the more recent BFPv431, and the problem reappeared.
So I don't use that expansion for the moment.
But it is annoying, as all the BFP units and counters are no more accessible.
Does someone know if there is a more recent BFP extension than BFPv431.mdx on vasl.info ?

Robin, I'll see if I can debug the BFP v4 extension. BFP makes a great product and enthusiastically supports VASL. I agree it would be nice to use the extension to the fullest.

edit: First step is to try to replicate the issue.

 

[Robin Reeve]

Thanks.
I really like the BPF productions a lot - especially PiF and B&J.
And I am really uncompetent when it comes to creating or editing VASL extensions...
Btw, I also noticed that the 468 became SS when they should break (ctrl-F)...

 

[BigAl737]

Just have time for a quick look and I can't replicate. I'm using VASL 6.5.0 and the BFP_v431 extension.

Is this the unit (under the mouse arrow) that's causing you issues?



Ignore the Dinant and Spanish Civil War tabs. Nothing to see here

Without being directly involved here:

There is another 468 at the bottom left corner. By the positioning of the two, my best bet would be the one with the mouse pointer being the 'standard' one and the one on the bottom left the one added by some sort of extension.

Did you check the one at the bottom left?

Ding ding ding ding ding dinnnngggg

We have a winner. I'll see what's up with that critter.

Thanks @von Marwitz

As @von Marwitz so observantly noted, there are two 468's in that counter window. The latter one causes the issue mentioned by @Swiftandsure and is put there by the BFP extension.

Off hand, I'm not sure of the purpose of the 2nd 468. I'll have to dig through my BFP rules to see if it added a unit like this.

In the meantime, a quick fix is to only use this 468:



I'll see what I can find out about the second 468 and 436 as well.

Does that get you going again Robin?

 

[Robin Reeve]

Yes, it is ok.
I missed the duplicate counter thing : and I presume that the bug was there long before I noticed it.
It would be strange that 6.5.0 generated the problem.

Did you have a github issue for this yet @BigAl737 ? There is a missing Crucible of Steel counter that should get dropped into the BFP extension while you're in there, the black 5-4-8 w/o assault fire. And there is also a duplicate 5-4-8 in there (piece ID 6690) that looks to be a straight dupe of 2841.

So much going on I forget if I opened an issue for this or not. I’ll check and make sure your findings get on the fixit list too.

Bumping for resolution.
