New version (5.0.8) for the x-wing vassal module. Wave 4 is now fully in (practice your assault at imdaar event in advance). Huge ships fully in for the next version.

Awesome job Mu0n!

Silly question if using the new module can you only play the people that also updated?

Still can't figure that program out .. LOL

A 5.0.8 player can play against a 5.0.5 player just fine, unless the new version equipped player uses stuff that's exclusively in his/her version - 6x3 epic map, new upgrade cards from the tantive, wave 4 ships (except z-95, this was already added in 5.0.5), etc. All wave 1-3 ships + rebel aces + z-95 are in both versions.

Bottom line: just update the **** thing! Takes 3 minutes. Use my guide. Happy games!

Sweet, I've been proxying the Predator card for weeks now on there.

Vassal X-Wing is utterly brilliant. That is all.

Actually I lie. A couple of quick questions:

1. Does the new version include the cloak option on the actual model (i.e not the actual token, but the indicator that appears at the base's side?

2. I don't suppose there's anyway to autosnap a barrel roll template to a model? That's probably one of the most fiddly bits.

1. There's a gigantic token (but I based it on preview images from FFG so it's supposed to be that big) in the Pieces window

2. It's the #1 requested feature since 2012 and it might very well be impossible in vassal.

I like Vassal but I wish they were prettier about the blanking. All the cards are covered in massive splotches of MS paint such that they scream "I've been blanked!" at you. With all the information gone the cards are just references to stack upgrades on, so why do you need the information on their at all if it's been blanked? Why not just do this?

That's easy to answer:

1) It's not MSPaint, but a script I made in photoshop CS2 (why that old version? It was distributed as freeware not long ago by Adobe)

2) Having the splotches act as a reminder of how vassal is not a replacement of the tabletop experience, but an alternative way for owners of the game to play. I myself play live whenever I get a chance, nothing beats it. Having a newborn son has put a dent on that, but having a local league increases my chances too.

3) If you're minimally crafty enough (don't ask me how, I will NEVER tell this), you can sub those image files in the module yourself for the full versions (that's what I do, I spent multiple hundreds of dollars on this game and feel validated in doing this). I'd rather have everyone use the same form factor for the cards, so that you don't unintentionally block the view from other cards if you used the shorter ones.

Fair enough. As for the subbing, been there, done that. Took forever though.
