Hi Rob, There is an enhancement request in already to add start/end point snapping to the standard VASSAL LOS thread. There will shortly be a poll where you will be able to vote for your favourite enhancements.
The VASL/VSQL LOS tools will not work in your module as they depend on a whole lot of underlying structure in other parts of the VASL/VSQL code base. There is no need to search for stuff on codase, all of the source you need (including LOS_thread.java) is available from the SVN repository on Sourceforge. Detailed instructions are available in the Developers Corner section of the documentation on www.vassalengine.com. Regards, Brent. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 11/12/2006 at 4:18 AM Rob Doane wrote: I hope someone out there is willing to help a real neophyte. I am creating my first VASSAL module and I would like to add the LOS tool found in VASL and VSQL that snaps to the grid. My problem: I know absolutely nothing about programming or Java. I have found the "LOS_Thread.java" file at www.codase.com that Rodney Kinney wrote, and it seems this is the tool I need. I downloaded Eclipse and tried to create a project and class, but it didn't work. Unfortunately I just haven't been able to figure it out from the tutorials and the help. Can somebody walk me through exactly what I'm supposed to do with this code after I open Eclipse? If you can, I will be forever grateful!
