BB Mods in VASSAL (DungeonBowl Complete!)

browwnrob · Post by **browwnrob** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 8:56 pm

Have been toying with the idea of making a module for BloodBowl in the VASSAL game engine... now before you get excited, VASAL is a platform for playing tabletop games and is anything but fancy, but ive been really thinking about making a module with the following pitches...

Streetbowl
Deathbowl
Dungeonbowl
BeachBowl
BB7's
BridgeBowl
That Streetbowl/Deathbowl game

You can play the game via PBEM, or at the same time...

Getting painted Images for all available LRB teams and more... counters and rulers is the big pain, making the mod is trivial, which is where you guys come into it

Im working with father on a naval game so thats getting the most attention for now, but I need graphics!!

The group is here... if you are interested in development, then register on the site and let me know and Ill add you to the team so you can upload new stuff...

I also need to find the Warhammer Quest tiles... so if anyone has them to scan in... email me

I am SOOOOOO going to have to figure out how to play online if you make this happen. It's like a BB amusement park. One stop shopping for all your BB palying needs!

Version 1.2 (27th March 2007)

Chests and teleporters now have transparent backgrounds, to blend in with the tiles
Changed the highlight colour to white and thinned the lines to be more visible against the black background
Added a replacement icon for the Norse Snow Troll
Added an L tile, and smaller walkway tiles to allow greater customisation of dungeons. also added a pit tile
Added in an endzone marker to allow custom endzones to be created
I might not have mentioned it before... but I also added in Overview and Zoom capability to the mod to facilitate easy viewing. I also doubled the size of the game board!
Fixed a bug where Norse players wouldnt go stunned/prone!

I found another Blood Bowl mod for the vassal engine. You have all the bowls covered and this other mod goes does the basic game ( that's the standard pitch). This mod only has the two basic human & orc teams that come with the boxset. Check it out and tell me what you think

That's an outdated version of VassalBowl. The more recent version was rush-released this summer after GW sent the developers a letter telling them to stop production by a certain date.

I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard that it's slow. I was warned by the person who informed me that his computer was a piece of junk, though, in fairness.

Anyway, tracking down the files may be a bit of an ordeal now that the site where they were originally hosted is down. If you have any interest in it, let me know and I'll see what I can scrounge up.

One of the things that always annoyed me about VASSAL was that it was pretty hard to put in much cheat detection stuff for PBEM, realtime would be fine etc, I havent looked at it in a while and I had deleted all the Vassalbowl files so havent done anything in vassal.

I had made an elfball client but it was working and then vassal updated their engine and now it no longer works properly and Ive forgotten how to fix it...
