Welcome!

Create a folder for the extensions. The name of the extension folder must be
Battlefleet_Gothic114_ext and it must be in the same folder as the module. The
module and extension folder names must match, except the _ext.

I downloaded the mod and the Armada but I can get the two working together.

Oh, and when I saw that there's a BFG mod I was like SWEET! I played a little
about a year ago but got out of the game.

Hope to play some one soon,

Hey, sounds very interesting. I recently played an open source EV-like game
called NAEV that was quite fun. There was an article on the freegamer blog and a
thread on the forum (which is unfortunately down atm):
http://freegamer.blogspot.com/2009/09/naev-040-review.html

I heard of some other BFG modding projects where you could find models.

Dawn of War: http://s3.zetaboards.com/BFG_mod/index/

Supreme Commander (I think it's dead or they moved):
http://forums.gaspowered.com/viewtopic.php?t=246

There was also a Homeworld mod which is dead, too.

And I've got an unfinished chaos cruiser model which is on ice atm (I'm occupied
with other stuff): http://img17.imageshack.us/i/chaoscruiser.jpg/

Hi,

Welcome to the group. I never played that game, so I have no idea if and how you
have to modify the module, but feel free to do so, if you need to.

The new Armada version 1.11 with new Space Marine and Necron sprites is
available now. Enjoy!

I finally uploaded a new version of the main module. There are new colors for
bases and I made new sprites for the Imperial fleet.

The Imperial ships in the Armada extension still need to be changed. BTW if
you've got photos (top down view or other) or know where I can find good images
of BFG ships, please send me a mail. Actually we could use photos directly in
the module, if the quality is OK.

The link is in the "Links" section. ;)

You need an extra folder for the .mdx files. The name of the extension
folder must be Battlefleet_Gothic113_ext and it must be in the same
folder as the module.

I've got the module, and I've got the armada and terrain .mdx
extensions.

In order for those ships to actually appear when playing the game, I
guess I need to put those .mdx files in a folder hierarchy with
the .vmod.

Anyone care to supply the details?

The rotate trait definitely needs some work. I requested an improved
rotate trait already, but no one replied to my
post. I'm going to ask the developers again, if they plan to change
it in the future. Limited rotation is probably better to move ships in
a squadron, but I think the free rotation is the best
option for the module atm, so I'm going to leave the module as it is
now, until the trait is improved.

In my opinion, we should drop the 'free rotation' entirely and make

downloading now.... comments in a bit here.

I'm uploading the new version 1.13 now. The arrow key rotation has to
wait till Vassal can handle more than one rotate trait.

If you make a new version make sure to poke me and I'll post an update
on the V40k website,
Oh and skorpio, we've used those trees you supplies and they look great :)

Well, I'd try out the 40k module first, because the current version is
about to be updated. The controls are relatively simple, and it's best
to try them out yourself for a bit.

meh, I don't know about the 10cm movement. seems to be too many
controls, to me. and with the 1cm movement, we can always use the
right click controls that are in the current version, but w/e. Too
each his own.

okay, that's fine & dandy.

I like the idea with the ordnance, I never thought of that.

I'm going to upload a new version with arrow key movement/rotation
soon. Rodney Kinney told me that the Move Fixed Distance trait only
changes its direction based on the angle of the first Rotate trait
above it, but he will check if it's an easy fix for the upcoming
Vassal version. Until then you can use either the arbitrary rotation
or the arrow key rotation, but not both.

What do you think about adding additional key commands for the
movement: Shift-Uparrow = 1cm and ALT-Up = 10cm?

And I'd prefer it if you told me what you want to change before you
alter the module yourself, so we don't have a dozen different versions
out there and you save the time to edit the module. Of course if you
want a special version for you and your friends or just to check out
how the module and Vassal work, it's ok.

Nope, one of my players pointed out how useful keyboard-based movement
is in the 40K module, so I took a quick look into the 40K files and
added rotation and movement for ships and ordinance (you wouldn't
believe how much easier using massed ordinance is when you can fly
them around with the arrow keys)

Next time I adjust the module I'll upload it so you can take a look.

That's spooky, I added the *exact same thing* to my custom module at
the request of the guys I play with

AH good, you put it up on mediafire, I'll change my website links :)

Sure, that would be cool. Thank you. And welcome to the group.

You can have 2 different rotate traits in a module, however, if you
use both during a game, Vassal won't know anymore where the front of
the unit is and will move your ship sideways, when you use the fixed
moved distance function.

Hey dudes (and dudettes if there's any) I've put a little announcement

Becuase not everyone wants to sign up and everything, I've briefly
looked at it, and over all, I think mine looks better as it's from
above and fits more with the original game :)
