Enjoy your shorter vassal games!

Woooooooooh!

Will have to try it ASAP

The last two VASSAL patches have been so massive, it is just amazing. You and your team are bringing this community forward so quickly by so much!

Sweet!!

i will update tonight and have a fiddle with it solo (getting used to it playing solo at the moment)

My main bug was auto bumping (my pc takes 3-4 seconds per click to spin the ships so auto bumping helps massivly!)

Thank you so so much for the hard work.

Amazing stuff, the Vassal team are doing fantastic work.

THIS. IS. AWESOME. Thank you for all of the hard work!!

Sweet! And now to complain... why is the big rock no longer asteroid #4??? BAH HUMBUG, vassal is ruined =P.

Out of curiosity, with the auto bump, does it back itself up if it doesn't fit when it's in contact with the first ship, or does it only consider ship #1 when determining its final location?

It's been waaaaaaaaaay too long since I've played on Vassal! THANKS!!!

Pay the man! Seriously, Muon and his crew are awesome, they deserve the tips more than ever!

I already took a look at the jar when the autospawn patch, but this deserves an extra tip. Buy something fancy to your team! Or some Quadjumpers

Outstanding job!

I just tested it, and it does!

yeah, it mimicks the proper rule: backtracking along the path with centered pairs of nubs until a legal position is found.

Fantastic. Vassal game times have shortened tremendously. Excellent job Vassal team!

For at least three years Mu0n and I have been dreaming of this feature, and now its done! AMAZEBALLS!

For anyone interested, the source code for this is currently living here: https://github.com/Mu0n/HWpopup/tree/master/mic/src/mic

As an aside, the technology ecosystem that we've created now for X-Wing is really quite substantial. I'll draw a picture sometime today to illustrate! The crew of developers we have working on it would really be the envy of any professional software engineering organization.

Play J00r vassal season 4 games d00d!

This is SUCH great news. The development team for the VASSAL xwing module should all be proud.

Can not give enough thanks for this.

Yeah yeah... Just gotta find some time - this month hasn't been particularly friendly for hobbies. I'm transitioning to a new job, so I get to do both the new job and the old job, and then school and taking care of the family. Hobby time has been severely limited from all of that.

Mu0n showed this off after my Vassal league match with Sozin, and I about fell out of my chair. It's so beautiful.

As promised here's a rough sketch of some of the players in the ecosystem

Wow sozin

I missed a few players. Here's a new version.

WOW. This is awesome. Yes, people, put money in the tip jar. These guys deserve some thanks. Hella cool.

Hey, was playing some today, and auto-overlapping worked fine for my list (A-wings and X-wing), but not my brother's (TIE Defenders). The first time, we thought it was related to the K-turn, so he did an undo and did a 4-straight, but both times all that pressing "c" did was drop a 5-straight template behind the Defender. Later, he did I think a 3-turn, and again, all pressing "c" did then was drop a template behind him. I tried performing the maneuver and pressing "c" on my computer as well, since it had already worked with my ships, but we couldn't ever get it to work. (Both of the squadrons had been preloaded from Voidstate Squadron Builder if that matters.)

Are you sure he'd upgraded to the latest version? I had no problems with auto-bump when I've played defenders since it came out. that includes doing 4Ks and auto-bump turning them back around when it puts them in the right spot.

Also, was he using the current version when he made his list, or had he loaded a list created under an earlier version?
