WiF for VASSAL
Posted: Tue May 10, 2005 10:32 pm
I've seen a lot of discussion lately about PBEM WiF using Cyberboard, IM etc. and I thought I would throw my two cents in about VASSAL.
If you follow the Yahoo group you've probably already seen this, but I've been working on a WiF module for VASSAL to allow multiple people to play WiF in real time over the internet. It's a pretty tedious project because VASSAL doesn't like large images so the maps aren't as good as I would like them (unless you get zoomed in) also there are so many counters that have to be placed into the module one at a time. But I am happy to say that it is playable at this point, if only the Barbarossa scenario, and it does work.
My issue right now is a matter of copyright so it hasn't left the confines of my computer and only my wife and kid have seen it. If I can get over that hurdle I will be happy to share this with any and everyone. Just wanted to put this out there for any that might be interested.
