VASSAL (Modul 3.1)

Online spielen

Präsentation

VASSAL ist eine Spiel-Engine, die Rodney Kinney ursprünglich für Advanced Squad Leader (oder Virtual Advanced Squad Leader, VASL) entwickelt hat. Daher passt der Name der Engine wunderbar zu unserem mittelalterlichen Scharmützelspiel. Vassal enthält alle Funktionen einer PBEM-Engine wie CyberBoard. Darüber hinaus können Sie damit online in Echtzeit spielen, was für das Gameplay definitiv ein Pluspunkt ist. Martin Moser (aus Deutschland) hat 2004 ein hochwertiges Cry Havoc-Modul erstellt (Version 1). Es deckte nicht alle verfügbaren Erweiterungen ab, da die Neuformatierung jeder Karte sehr aufwändig war. In der Zwischenzeit arbeitete ein anderer Community-Spieler (Scorion) an einer Version 2 und integrierte das meiste des damals verfügbaren Materials. Diese Version war nicht sehr ausgefeilt und es fehlten viele englische Übersetzungen, weshalb ich sie aus diesem Bereich von Cry Havoc Fan verbannt habe.

2009 hat col_klink, ein anderer Spieler, ein weiteres Modul erstellt, das die Qualität der Version 1 mit der Vollständigkeit der Version 2 kombinierte. Ich habe gerade die letzten 2 Monate damit verbracht, ihm dabei zu helfen, sein Modul zu polieren und zu verfeinern, um es von Gut zu Großartig zu bringen (hoffentlich!).

Neue Funktionen umfassen:
> Angriffs- und Gegenangriffsmanagement,
> Raketenfeuermanagement (Pfeile im Köcher werden bei jedem Schuss automatisch verringert),
> Hinzufügen von Geräuschen für Bewegung, Feuer und Kampf: Probieren Sie es aus!
