The Vassal Extension for V-Set 7 is now available for download at SWMResources.com. This file is updated with all the new V-Set 7 pieces (some with sound effects), along with a graphical indication to help make the BHC pieces more easy to recognize.

How to install it:

1. First delete your old file. Locate the place where your "SWMinis.vmod" file is located. For many of you this will be here: C:\[Username]\Program Files\VASSAL. In that place you will see a folder entitled, "SWMinis_ext". Open that folder and delete the "Virtual Sets.mdx" file.

2. Download the new file from here: Virtual Sets Extension and save it onto your desktop or another easy-to-find location. It will be a file called "VirtualSets.zip"

3. Unzip it. R-click the file and choose "Extract Here" or "Unzip Here." Then you will have a file on your desktop called, "Virtual Sets.mdx".

4. Take that file (Virtual Sets.mdx) and move it (ie, Copy and Paste) to the same "SWMinis_ext" folder that you deleted your old file from.

5. Start (or re-start) Vassal, and you're good to go.



PS: check out the sound effect on Darth Bane, Sith'ari...it's not SW-themed, but I think it's fitting, judging from people's comments so far.

Awesome, great job! Your hard work is much appreciated

BTW, did we get any General Grievous noises added, by any chance?

EDIT: TWO Grievous sound effects (new Wheelbike and HoH)! Yay!

Hey thanks! I'm glad you appreciate my work.

I just sort of started playing around with MS Paint one time, and realized that it's not all that difficult to make some minor changes to the images that we've got. At first it was just a matter of changing or sharpening the colors of lightsabers, or else adding/removing a blaster here and there, but then I realized that you can copy/paste, which is how I got the major changes that come with the Tonnika Sisters, Luke & Leia on Speeder, Geonosian Cannon, and other pieces.

If you've got a link to a .wav file of the original 9000 sound then I'd be happy to change it for the V-Set 8 release; it does need to be a .wav file though. I'm actually not a fan of that show (is it Yugioh, Bakugan? lol I really don't know), but I had heard the meme and I thought it would fit for Bane.

I didn't have a sound for Pong Krell.

I'd love to get sounds for every mini too. My boys own all DVDs of the Clone Wars TV series, but converting each of those DVDs to an audio file, and then searching through them for the sound effect I want...that would take forever. The reason I did it with the movies is because I know the movies like the back of my hand and it's normally not too difficult to find the quote I'm looking for. I am working on adding sound effects for all the original WotC pieces (not just V-Set pieces) that show up in the movies though; my goal is to have a sound effect for every mini with a speaking part in the movies. If people want to send me .wav files of any other figs (ie, Clone Wars, audio books, video games, etc), I'd be more than happy to include them.

Look on the first post of this thread.

The first video shows you how to properly set up vassal on your computer. The second video just shows some of the cool new features of the Vassal mod that weren't there before.

If for some reason you're still having trouble, post here again and I'll see if I can troubleshoot with you.

how to you hear sounds for a piece?

Lol!

Yep it's from DBZ


BTW I just noticed that Marka Ragnos' Dark Force Spirit seams to be missing

Ha, that's cool. Do you have a list of character's with sound effects?

OK thanks. In addition, there are a bunch of audio books that you could pull for Thrawn, Jerec, and others.

I personally don't have them, but I think Wookiepedia might. By the way, I really like the custom coloration for some of the V-sets. It makes distinguishing pieces much easier.
