If you check the Gamers Downloads on the front page of swmgamers you will find a brand new vassal mod for the Destiny of the Force setBigGrin

Big thanks to thereisnotry (TINT) for putting in the work to make this possible, well done manCool

I also found in the Downloads that the rules insert for DOTF is available for download as wellSmile

And guess what? For all those opposed to signing in at gamersRollEyes you don't need to sign in to access this stuff, so I guess you wont be put outSneaky

Awesome stuff

Dark Times is the old update for when that set came out. The new one is the Destiny of the Force Vassal Extension.

For whatever reason, I didn't even have to extract it, as the download was the .mdx file. I just copied to the _ext folder and it worked.

I had to use "add extension" from the Vassal menu to get it to work.
(I had everything else in place correctly)
That was with engine 3.1.14, running on XP.

Trying the latest engine on a different machine to see what it does...

Yeah mine was already an .mdx file so no extraction necessary. Just had to throw it in my folder with all the map extensions. Works brilliantly.

I'm sure it's because you have your computer set to not show extensions. There's a setting you can change to see it, but that's entirely unnecessary for this. It should work fine regardless, as long as you download it and put it in the correct place.

Any idea about updating the SWM Mapguide .pdf that's on Gamers? That's a really handy one.
