Problem seeing map - darbycmcd - 09-22-2025
Hey there. I am having a problem with Vassal. When I start the module, there is no way to see the map. Usually the chat window is too large and you need to resize it when this happens, but in the screenshot attached you can see that there is no way to resize the chat window. I definately have the maps entered because when I use the "map" button it shows the correct ones. I have never seen this before with Vassal, and I opened a few other modules, like from OCS and F&E to make sure they were working and they are. Does anyone know what might be happening here?

Looks like you just need to reduce the size of the Vassal window.
RE: Problem seeing map - darbycmcd - 09-22-2025
I thought that might be the issue, but it doesn't seem to fix it. I have tried it on 2 different computers as well. Is it possible there is a problem with the latest version of Vassal (3.7.17)?
RE: Problem seeing map - treadasaurusrex - 09-22-2025
Hmm . . . maybe.
Perhaps changing your browser might help, or re-sizing your view, or display settings
Uber 4.3 in Vassal 3.7.8 displays correctly in Safari on my Mac, and in Windows 10 & 11 on my older PC.

Thanks, I will play around with it. I didn't think that Vassal ran in a browser window though, I might be wrong about that. For the version, they just released 3.7.17 a couple days ago. It is possible that is the issue. I think there was a fairly major update a few versions ago and I know many of the other modules had to be updated. It has been a year since the base was updated so maybe there is something there....
I am a little desperate as I had a major craving for PG for some reason but with a 7 year old child and a 1 year old cat, there is no way for me to play more than 30 seconds on the table!

After you shrank the main window, did you click the map button?
RE: Problem seeing map - darbycmcd - 09-22-2025
yes, but the map button is opening a separate window. I can populate the map in that window with counters, but they don't seem to track moved status. And it is not a very easy way to play. I updated my java just now and that also doesn't seem to change anything. Is anyone else using Vassal 3.8.17? I am curious if it is that or something I am missing.
RE: Problem seeing map - darbycmcd - 09-22-2025
Ok, this must be a me problem. I downloaded 3.7.8 and it still doesn't work.....
RE: Problem seeing map - plloyd1010 - 09-22-2025
Moved/Fired/Activated status, as well as Digging/Dug In, Morale and Spotted are handled by key commands or the counter menu.
The PG Über Counter Menu Reference should help with that.
RE: Problem seeing map - darbycmcd - 09-22-2025
Ok, so all the windows opened on the menu are not docked. Is that by design? If it is, can anyone tell me how to change it? it is a little awkward to play that way.
