Vassal:ACTA Mod: How To Start. (Warning!! Large Pics)

[Locutus9956]

you might want to try renaming the zip file to .mod file extension.

 

[katadder]

if you really like but the zip file works as is. i keep all my mods and mods in progress in the one foldr so know where to find them

 

[CheesyRobMan]

I second the sticky, perhaps combined with the other Vassal/ACTA update thread? I'm just getting it set up and this is all useful stuff.

wicked, thanks for the help, runs fine just going to check it all out,
used to use a program called octgn for eve ccg, was a bit finnicky,
but theres a new one going through playtesting now which i design the buttons for, this looks much better to use, cheers

 

[katadder]

well the files you need are in the player resources section, and i keep the link up to date with latest ACTA mod too.
this is a helpful thread though for those having problems although you can always just ask someone with a new post if needed

 

[Krazus]

can someone email me the module file, I cannot find it on any of the links posted here, and the only version on the vassal site is an old one and doesnt have most of the ships represented on there


cheers folks

ps if you didnt already know my email is krazus@hotmail.com

Not sure, worth a try

Valen:

Given that VASSAL runs in the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) I'd be shocked if it didn't work on any platform with Java support, which, I think, extends back all the way to Windows 95.

Betcha the source originator can even compile for Linux/UNIX/XWindows environments.

I think you can also run from within your browser at the VASSAL site, but I haven't tried that personally.

 

[Krazus]

cheers found it

I downloaded Vassal at the first link but I cannot open it. What do I do now?

 

[JayRaider]

Once u have downloaded Vassal itself, install it.
Then download the latest mod 7.8, and follow the earlier guide in this thread for starting it.

 

[Tankdriver]

That's the thing I tried to open the firle and it would not!

 

[katadder]

the ACTA mod? you dont open it. just start up vassal, play module and select the zip file.

 

[Tankdriver]

No, Vassal would not open. I do not think the computer recognizes to extension.

 

[JayRaider]

You should download Java, which runs Vassal.

If these guides are not going to be stickied what about putting it the New Players Resources - clutter free sticky?

Thanks to JayRaider for doing the guides, it’s appreciated

 

[katadder]

bump and link will be put in the resources thread.
