March is here, so is the update - plloyd1010 - 03-02-2022
I've been a little busy. I updated the base module and reference sheet, updated 36 extensions and will be adding 6 new extensions. This will add at least 6 new games to the supported list. As always, read the extension documentation. The weird how-tos and what-abouts are usually in there.
PG Über 3.2, built on Vassal 3.6.5. So it isn't likely to work on Vassal 3.5.x. You can probably load and finish old games with v3.2, finishing games with v3.1 is probably best. I haven't seen any problems running Uber 3.1 on Vassal 3.6.x. Here is what changed:
Entrenchment control flags and delete command have been fixed.
Dug In and Digging In status of units is reset when they are moved.
Drumfire function added to Off-board artillery.
Cloning added to Entrenchment, At Ditches, Wire and Play Limit markers.
Fixed delete command on AT Ditches, Wire and Play Limit markers.
Changed Assault Boards so they are selected with Shift-Click.
German 75mm IG limbered side, switchable between draggable and move 1. Extension notes were updated on usage or were added if there were no extension notes before.

Deluge, First Axis & Slovakia's War have game packages now.

It might not have been fully updated yet, but when I download extensions via the gamepack links (example, Tank Battles, Download Entire Game Pack + Extras) it is still grabbing the old modules (example Italian 40-42 5.0 instead of 5.1 but seems to be all).
I ended up pulling that one to try from the Master List and it seems to be grabbing the right one.
I don't know what the entire update process is so I might have just jumped the gun.

You should have gotten the correct versions in gamepacks. When I upload the new files, the old ones are supposed to be destroyed. When you download a game pack, the zip file is supposed to be rebuilt if there are any new files. I'll ask about it.
How did you like my variant for the Italian HMG's and German 75 IG's?
RE: March is here, so is the update - plloyd1010 - 03-04-2022
All the update is up and in. All the Iron Curtain games are supported now. On to Peace in Our Time, Blue Danube River Fleets, Changsha and GD'46.

I havent had a chance to mess around with the 75s yet, but the HMG are exactly what I wanted

There was an update problem regarding extensions in the game packages. it has been corrected. Current extensions versions should download now.

Treadasaurusrex created the scenario maps and counters for Witch's Cauldron (FoF #9) using Vassal 3.6.5 and PG Uber 3.1. Since then, he has upgraded to PG Uber 3.2.1. The issue is he sees one of the maps moved, one of the maps missing, and also German pieces on the map that weren't there when he created the scenario originally.
I am using Vassal 3.6.5 and PG Uber 3.1, and can see everything as he originally set up.
So, here's a question. Can two players, using different PG Uber modules play against each other? He doesn't appear to have 3.1 anymore, and I have other games against other players in 3.1 so am loathe to switch to 3.2.1 before they're finished.
Alternatively, any ideas to help us through this.
It does seem to me that unless EVERYONE upgrades at the same time, then these issues will keep cropping up as players broaden their player networks.

You should always play Vassal games with the same PG Über versions. You probably play with different primary versions, like version 3.x, but that has not been tested. I am quite sure that the lower version player will lose access to the newer features.
Multiple versions of PG Über may reside in Vassal. Each would appear as a different game in your library. Each version will also need its extension directory. I have 4 versions of PG Über on my PC. As game progress, the older versions get used less. When the older games are completed, I remove the older PG Über version from active use.
Felipe shouldn't be using version 3.2.1 with you as it is still experimental. It has a small addition in OBA menu for drumfire control. Versions 3.2 and 3.2.1 shouldn't have any trouble working together, except for minor glitches when using drumfire.
Version 3.2 is the PG Über in the core files. Here is a link to PG Über 3.1, if you need it. I have an archive all the PG Über versions. I recommend not going back past 3.0.
