BFG on Vassal

[jaybird]

hey, i was wondering...are there expansions for other navies in this, i.e. marines and tau? thanks ^_^

[Skorpio]

Yep, they're all in the Armada expansion.

Just a quick note to say thank you, I always enjoyed playing BFG, but there are no other players nearby. This gives me the chance to play again

? i've got the armada file in battlefleet 113 folder, but they don't come up...

[Skorpio]

The name of the extension folder must be Battlefleet_Gothic113_ext and it must be in the same folder as the module. Or maybe something is wrong with the name of your module file, which should be Battlefleet_Gothic113.vmod . The module and extension folder names must match.

It's been a while since I worked on the module the last time, but have finally added some new Imperial sprites and added new base colors (CTRL-B/ALT-B to change them). I hope you like them.

Version 1.14 is available already. The Imperial ships in the Armada extension still need to be changed. BTW if you've got photos or know where I can find good images of BFG ships, please send me a mail. Actually we could use photos directly in the module, if the quality is OK.

I just uploaded a new Armada version with overworked Space Marines and Necrons. That's all for now, I'm going to work on other projects.

Enjoy!

Hi Skorpio,

quite a while ago we talked about my VBFG 2.0 Project.
Now I've reached Beta Status.

If you would like to have a look into the modul you can download it from my WebSpace.

The new version looks very nice. Good job!

Here are a few notes/bugs:
Opening the stats window creates a copy of the unit.
It's difficult to find the center of the base, but that doesn't matter so much since you can use the compass.
Why ctrl-arrow for rotations and shift-arrow for moves? I think ctrl-arrow for both would be easier.
More move options like 5 or 10cm would be nice. It's tiring to press 20 times only to move a ship 20 cm.

Hi Skorpio,

THX for your review!

Stats Window creates a copy?
TEST: No copy on my side. Ship stats are working fine.
Maybe the menu option Statistics and Clone are to close to each other.
Using Keys did not show the issue.
Pls let me know how to reproduce this bug.

I'll look into the base center issue. Have an idea already, but have to check out if it's feasible.
As a workaround you can simply flip images with ALT-F / CTRL-F.
I kept your original approach to have a blank image one step away of each and every default ship image.
That means pressing ALT-F just shows the base only. This works with multiple ships selected as well.

I'll have a look into the movement as well.
Guess moving and turning the ship using CTRL ARROW should be no problem.
Moving 5/10 cm as an option .. well as long as I have some key combinations left, it should be easy to implement.

Will dig into into ASAP.

Thx
