Just tried to save a VASL map as a png image but it's not working for me. I click on the menu icon and nothing happens. May be a bug? Or, it may be something on my end but I can save maps as pngs in other VASSAL modules. VASL 6.6.7 and VASSAL 3.7.7.

Preparing for BFP67 Coke Hill.
Issue found:
SSR require PTO Terrain (Light Jungle) with Roads and Bridges existing normally.
Even if Woods-Roads are selected to be "normal", VASL (v667, VASSAL v377, board 50 v7.0) transforms them to Paths.

I have the same problem...no response to the "Save Map as PNG" command.

Same here. VASL v6.6.7, VASSAL v3.7.7
Not long ago it did work with VASL v6.6.7, VASSAL v3.7.5, so by my guess, it is VASSAL related.
Edit:
Just (re-)installed VASSAL v3.7.6. Using this version, "Save Map as PNG" works. So the cause seems to be somewhere in VASSAL v3.7.7.

Thanks for this Al and others. Just tested it myself with 3.7.6 and 3.7.7.
It worked with 6.6.7 and 3.7.6
It did not work with 6.6.7 and 3.7.7.
I tried the "Save map contents as plain text file" option with 6.6.7 and 3.7.7. and it did not work either.
Bug created. Will try to get this fixed in 6.6.8.

Thanks for looking into this. Your unwavering efforts for VASL (and also those of @uckelman for VASSAL) are, as always, much appreciated!

So, it just wasn't me then.
Thanks for looking into this.The fix for the "Save Map As" bug is included in 6.6.8-beta6 which just released. Get it here: https://vasl.info/vasl_coop.htm.
Also both Image and Text options will save as Player View or Opponent View.
6.6.8-beta6 should be used wiht 3.7.7.

Posting for Doug and APBills. The square stairwell overlay cycles through the levels and gray (so fulfils my original idea for an enhancement), but the cross (for a steeple) does not include gray in the possible colours. I'm guessing that's an oversight that APBills can fix easily, assuming he has the time.

Hi,
I have a couple of suggestions about the octogonal Phase Marker:
I have a couple of suggestions about the octogonal Phase Marker:
- Could there be a form of Label that displays the Turn number and the current phase on the marker (quite like what the "Report Phase" does in the chat window)?
Especially when working with two or more monitors and/or zooming, you don't always see the turn marker and table...
The Label could be toggled on and off. It could be displayed in the central part of the marker.
- Have the possibility to move back to the preceding phase: when you click to move to the next phase, and you suddenly see that you still could do something in the preceding one, you are stuck.
- Last and least : it would be nice to have the central display be changed to a specific nationality rather than the generic Allied or Axis display - quite like you can do with the custom turn counters.
I know it is purely aesthetic, so not a really essential addition.

First and third items are available in another phase tracker. Second item covered by UNDO?

The Custom Phase Track displays the current turn number. The "classic" does not.
Why would you want a label on the Phase Track that tells you what the current Phase is, when the entire function of the Phase Track is to tell you what the current Phase is?
Does your "undo" button not work if you accidentally advance the Phase Track? It works perfectly here.
Your last point is, indeed, the entire point of the Custom Phase Track.

I didn't notice that there was a custom.phase marker.
Thanks for pointing it out.
The Undo only works immediately after you advanced the phase marker.

Btw, I noted that if you use the custom turn marker, the phase marker adapts automatically - and if you make changes in the menu, the marker on board also changes. Nice job from the programers!

Olive Groves:
Apparently, VASL allows for changing Orchards into Olive Groves by Terrain Alterations.
However, Olive Grove Draggable Overlays seem not be available.
Suggestion for improvement:
Add Olive Grove Draggable Overlays.

I have not been aware that Draggable Overlays do change color if one changes levels before.

I don't know what is meant here.
Are we talking about the one-hex draggable overlays found under the Draggable Overlays button (Orchard) on the toolbar?
I think that is what is meant/wanted? If so, then it would be useful if someone could point me to the VASL artwork that exists.
Or are we talking about adding Olive Grove draggable overlays to the VASL Overlays extension? If it is this then I think we will be waiting awhile. No-one is currently working on the VASL Overlays extension as far as I am aware.
