Hi Mario, While it'd make for a long email to explain the entire procedure so I wont, but I will point you to a few resources:
First and foremost is the Help file that you can access after you've selected to create a new module. Tip: I like to have a printed version of the docs with my little notes and stuff added. You can get the html pages that make up the documentation off your computer by going to: C:\Documents and Settings\**your computer**\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javaws\http\Dwww.vassalengine.org\P80\**latest Vassal Version**\DMws\RMdocs.jar (subbing appropriate values for the stuff in **...**) Copy that file and then rename the copy by changing the .jar to .zip. You should then be able to extract those html pages/images and open them up in your browser. You can then copy the text or if you know basic HTML, you can make yourself a nice reference manual. The documentation at vassalengine.org as well (the Wiki). More and more is being added to it - hopefully someday it will be a complete source for module making. Right now, it has bits and pieces that may help. I have a tutorial for how I do the maps: http://wiki.vassalengine.org/doku.php?id=user_tutorials:mapmaking Brent has a number of components in the "Developer's corner" that may help. The AutoImages will help you make the counters: http://wiki.vassalengine.org/doku.php?id=autoimage:autoimage There is also the module creation tutorials on the Wiki: http://wiki.vassalengine.org/doku.php?id=tutorials The way that I learned was to simply download a module or two that basically worked the way that I envisioned that my module would work. Perhaps it has a deck (cards) or predefined setups, etc. Find a module that has some of those features and then edit them - start Vassal, select "Edit Module" from the menu, select the module to be edited. I then had a look at what was in there and just pieced together what was doing what. It's not terribly difficult, and actually is pretty intuitive once you see how the components interact with one another. Good luck!
