VASSAL Reference Manual

Home


General

This manual describes the features of the VASSAL module editor.  It is not necessary to be familiar with this documentation if you are only using VASSAL to play games.  The information here is also available from VASSAL's on-line help.

The Configuration Window is used to edit either a Module or a Module Extension. The menu bar of the Configuration Window offers the following actions:

Editing Modules

All modifications to a module are done through the Configuration Window, which is a familiar file/folder type browser in which each file/folder represents a module component. Right-click on an any component to get a popup menu with options for that component.  Use the Cut, Copy, Paste, and Move commands to move components around within the module.

Properties

Brings up a dialog in which you specify the options for that components.  Double-clicking on a component also brings up its Properties dialog.

Delete

Deletes the component from the module.

Clone

Makes an exact copy of the component and inserts it after the existing component.

Help
