Great !
Thanks a lot !

Hi, the dice on map are much smaller than previously.
Is there a way to make them larger ?
I record videos of my solo games, so it is quite important that people who view them see larger dice.

Smaller, yes. Clearer, crisper images, yes.

There is no way for users to make them larger relative to the rest of VASL.

I have had several people raise this and I will make them larger in VASL6.6.7. But that is 6 months away.

 

[Robin Reeve]

Thanks for the answer.
I will do with it: VASL already is such a wondeful tool.

Just a note - this isn't the "LFT 15 fully-DTO-enabled" version that I talked about in the LFT15 VASL Boards thread; I referred to "VASL 6.6.6" in that thread, but my stuff wasn't ready for this version. I'll put a note in that thread for people to replace mentions of "VASL 6.6.6" with "an upcoming version".

Doug's too fast

The "(Mark of the) Beast at Bay" update?

Something to note - There is a known bug on the Movement Trail functionality I have not been able to figure out. When your opponent moves a counter, if you have that counter with the movement trail toggled on, it will get toggled off. You will need to toggle it back on to see the trail. This appears to be something in the VASSAL code, but that is not a given, my skill set in this matter is limited. Doug and I decided it was worth leaving this functionality in rather than wait until I could find a fix or at least the identify what was causing this.

US 1st Line Squad, rather.

I am using VASSAL 3.6.14. If I use 6.6.6 to step through a .vlog I created with 6.6.5 I don't see the text I typed in the chat window. What should be

- Loaded AP170 Never on Time 051 SS5 MPh.vlog
<Scott Romanowski> - Hi Zebulon
<Scott Romanowski> - I didn't think I13 had LOS to K11, so I thought the 10-2 and 458 might fire at K9.
<Scott Romanowski> - Please stop if you affect a unit or leave residual.

Instead shows up as

- Loaded AP170 Never on Time 051 SS5 MPh.vlog
* ... Scott Romanowski
* ... Scott Romanowski
* ... Scott Romanowski

UNDO shows that the text is still there

* UNDO: - Please stop if you affect a unit or leave residual.
* UNDO: - I didn't think I13 had LOS to K11, so I thought the 10-2 and 458 might fire at K9.
* UNDO: - Hi Zebulon

HOWEVER (and this is where it gets weird), if I enable "Use images for dice rolls", I can see the text as I step through!

ETA: I've disabled all extensions so it's not an extension issue.

ETA: If I just start 6.6.6 and type in the chat bar, my text doesn't appear in the chat window, only

* ... Scott Romanowski

If I enable "Use images for dice rolls", I can see the text I type!

* ... Scott Romanowski - test

It also seems to depend on the content being typed. This is from a .vlog created with 6.6.6.
With "Use images for dice rolls" I see my opponent typed

* ... A_T_Great - OK DF with Piat here
* ... A_T_Great - TH= 9 +2/J +4/Smoke

Without it, I see

* ... A_T_Great
* ... A_T_Great J +4Smoke

I have a similar issue with the chat window. Text appears every 2 lines entered. If I resize the window, then the hidden text appears.
It already happened with version 6.6.5 (not in 6.6.4)

 

[ScottRomanowski]

I've seen that occasionally too @turlusiflu . I find if I scroll up and down I can see the "missing" text. Maybe it's not scrolling properly?

I think I will wait until VASL 6.6.7, my luck,starting it will open a portal to the guy downstairs...but could be worse maybe he plays ASL ..................

 

[ScottRomanowski]

You just need a Get Out Of Hell Free card @stuh42asl, then you won't have to worry if you're drawn into hell and something tries to force you to play ASL with their house rules. :-D

Damn.... wait a minute heaven doesn't want me and hell won't take me..(I would take over ) so I guess I am stuck here..

Really?

 

[turlusiflu]

Another issue related with the chat window. I have loaded a logfile made with 6.6.6, but the comments and the dice rolls don't appear in the chat window. I have loaded it then with VASL 6.6.4 and goes perfect

 

[ScottRomanowski]

@turlusiflu do the comments and rolls appear if you enable the "Use images for dice rolls" preference as I mentioned in my posts above?

 

[ibncalb]

The ability to set "Mark pieces Moved" has gone from the preferences.

Was this a choice or an accident?
