ZunTzu

I suppose it would be easy enough to test, but just curious - could I make a counter piece have 4 sides if I define two fronts and two backs for it (or one front and 3 backs I suppose)? I could eliminate a lot of extra counters if I could "combine" them this way.

Jerome - those list of additions look great. I really appreciate your work on this (just hit your Paypal button for you :) ). I have been a big follower of VASSAL for years now, but ZunTzu is really starting to give it a run for its money - and with some of those additions, it just may eventually re...

Thanks Jerome!

On a related note - do you have a list of changes that you're working on for the next release? Give us a teaser!

Jerome, this question came up from a player after testing out a new module that I've made - I told him that I would post the question here as a suggestion as I don't believe that there is a way at this point: Also, is it possible to stack counters in the other direction, from top-left to bottom-righ...

Yup, just checked - I did change it to one dice roller. I think that I thought that I needed to divide it up in order to have 3 rows of 5 but found that you have it set to "auto wrap" at 5. Nice touch!

Jerome wrote:By the way, why didn't you define a single set of fifteen dice?

Because as I recall, it didn't look as good as 3 rows of 5. I think because 5 dice will fit inside that yellow box where as any more per row and they extend out of the box.

Hi GJK (et les autres) I made a website dedicated to Landships! ( http://landships.free.fr ) with some stuff to download. There is also a forum where players can chat about their favourite game. We expect to create a community. Arnauld Hi Arnauld, Your english was just fine! Yup, been to your site....

Jerome, I'm working on another gamebox that will be using the "buckets of dice" dice rolling procedure; i.e., you roll a number of dice depending on the number of attacking factors and you get a "hit" on a '6' on each die. So, I've added 3 sets of 5 dice so that the player can ro...

Just a guess, but can ZunTzu work with a pdf file for the image of the counter sheets? Perhaps it's balking at that. Edit: Also (and I may be wrong about this, I'm just learning the program myself) but should this line be more along the lines of: From: startup-scenario="scenario"> To: star...

I have such a feature in my development version. It will be part of the upcoming 1.2 version.

Thanks Jerome, you rock!

Hi GJK, I'm glad you found it was both easy and quick to make a game box. Some users are under the wrong impression that it is technical (maybe because it's XML?) so your testimony is very valuable to me. Making a gamebox for ZunTzu is a breeze compared to VASSAL or Cyberboard even - I made another...

Jerome, Is there currently a way to temporarily clear the board of all pieces so that you can see the underlying terrain/hexes? If that's not included already and it would be relatively easy to add, could I make a request to have that feature added? I'm thinking just a button or key-toggle to show/h...

LOS thread is already there, cool!

Geomorphic board support would be nice, fingers crossed as well!

Thanks for the answers FT.

First off; Jerome - I have to applaud you again on this design, it's very well done! Very 'professional' looking (you've coded before, haven't you? :) ) and really simple to work with. Secondly, I've created my first gamebox! I did a quick box for Clash of Arms "Landship!", just for the in...

I gave ZunTzu a test run yesterday using the VG Civil War gamebox. I was quite impressed with what I saw. As a long time VASSAL user that has contributed to that community by supplying several modules, I'd be interested in creating some gameboxes for this program - eventually. I think that it's very...
