What is VMOD file?
The VMOD file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is The VASSAL Team. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Vassal Module is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The VASSAL application is recommended to open the file. It was released by The VASSAL Team.
How to open VMOD file?
An often recurring problem with Vassal Module is that VMOD is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open VMOD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VMOD file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install VASSAL
The first step is to check if the computer has the VASSAL program installed. This can be achieved by typing VASSAL into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VMOD with VASSAL. Below you will find a list of applications that support VMOD files.
Programs to open VMOD file
Remember to download programs supporting VMOD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VASSAL with VMOD files
If, despite the installed application, the VMOD file does not start in the VASSAL application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VMOD file with the VASSAL program.
Step 3. Update VASSAL to the latest version
If, despite the association of the VASSAL program with the Vassal Module file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The VASSAL Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VMOD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VMOD file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VMOD or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected VMOD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VMOD files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VMOD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting The VASSAL Team, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VMOD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the VMOD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VMOD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VMOD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
