After looking at the word files for VotG and noting the disadvantages of them I thought it best to try and build on the base that I already had in one of the current versions of the book as an already computerised file. Weighing up the advantages of the two, clearer HTML file or more complex JavaScript but a more modern file, I decided to try and learn how the JavaScript version was put together. To do this I opened the "js" files in notepad and looked at the syntax they used: paragraph("23.2","LEVELS","All ground level hexes of building ...
As many of you know I'm working on this for my own satisfaction and thought it might be a good idea to set out how it's being done and how I'm getting on. The first eRB I got hold of was an HTML copy if the first edition rules. Well presented and clear. The second edition rules I got hold of were in a JavaScript format that I knew nothing about. Since ths set had chapters a-O already, it was this I decided to expand upon. Enforce attempting this, the one piece of equipment you need is a decent scanner. Luckily this is not expensive and every printer ...
"Sound out the trumpet noise, the cannons bark and jump for joy Someone's dread and darlin' boy has fallen on his saber" - Hey Ho, by Tracy Grammer Nothing says summer like a carriage ride down a wooded path...with an artillery piece in tow. Maybe that is why I like the ACW so much: so many of the battles took place in some wonderfully bucolic venues. Anyhoo... So here goes another Scourge of War AAR. This time, for a change of pace, I decided to play with the big guns of an ...
Okay I updated my GitHub site with the new DTO maps, a few missing extensions and maps, and a new set of empty folders and all the current maps in both the "vasl" format (no extension) and as a image file for reference (look under the boards directory for a folder called images). Also, included are all the overlays. So in short these are all the version 5 maps, overlays, and HASL maps as well as all the TPP stuff and extensions. If you follow this link in the center of the screen are two links (ZIP and TGZ) which you can then download to your machine and use for VASL. ...
I got tired of using 2-3 different web sites to download all the VASL maps and extensions. I am really into Version Control and I just love GitHub, it's totally awesome, makes CSV/SVN feel like the difference between say MS Word and Notpad. So I created a GitHub repo for all the maps and extensions. For ease of use I also created a nice GitHub Page and you can download it as a zip or tgz file (contains all the files up-to-date). You can find the link here: http://dlazov.github.io/vasl-boards-extensions/ I hope this helps those out using VASL to play ...
