VASL6.6.9-beta8 now available

[DougRim]

This release includes two new features, plus those in previous betas, and some bug fixes. Get it here

New:

Players can now add a ROF die that displays separately from the normal DR.

Shaders (Night, Dust, etc) now carry over as part of the .vsav file. No need to reset each time a game is launched. Both players will see the same shader.

This is a great new feature. Many thanks for the work you do.

Doug! You forgot to mention the best fix - Winter RR colors now make it easier to see the Rail Cars!

Is there a problem with VASL LOS working with boards cropped to nearest full hex row?

Not that I know of.

Not that I know of.

Using VASL 669b8 and VASSAL 3.7.14
No ext loaded.
Select board 6, add row and select 57.
Crop both boards for T-CC for a narrow map and choose crop to nearest full hex row.

VASL LOS disabled.

Perhaps it's a board issue, but both boards LOS work when used on their own and cropped .

Just did some testing and as you say, both boards work fine when cropped on their own. But when added together, the los is disabled. Not sure why.

Clearly a bug. Thanks for flagging. I will add it to the list.

The challenge for the LOS engine here was that the boards were cropped to a full hex on both sides - an unusual configuration.

I have fixed the bug. The fix will be in the next beta and the official release in November.

Thank you.
Some designers do seem to like stretching the limits. In the recent Arnhem pack I see at least one map setup with an overlay on an overlay. As far as I can tell LoS worked fine.

Not sure if this is a bug, but when I try to set up a new scenario, I am only given the menu of
pre-made scenario setups... I can't get to the choose boards/overlays menu...
(3.7.14/6.6.9b8)

I wanted to start a SASL campaign...

Remove the setup extension, and it will work,
I had the same problem!
