I am using the construction kit to modify the Necron datafile to be
inline with the BFG 2002 Annual. So far I have two problems left.
1. I have fixed the Scythes to be 0-6, and the Cairns are set at 1
per 2 Scythes, but I wanted to make it so that if you had two
scythes, you could only equip 1. It spits out a violation warning,
but it seems it'd be better to stop the user from adding more. This
is minor as it does put out the violation warning.
2. I am trying to find a way to limit dirges and jackals. These are
0-12 in the fleet. The problem arrises when squadroning mixed types
together it cannot count the total. For example, if I have two
squadrons of 6 dirges, and then add a dirge to a jackal squadron, I
do not get a violation. Is there some way to validate a total count
of different units types? For example, the max of dirges and dirge
addons is 12? This is a moderate problem as it will not spit out a
violation warning. Better would be to stop letting them from being
added. I would rate this as a higher problem, but I am guessing most
people do not mix their squadron types too much.
Things I have tweaked:
Scythes are 0-6, not 0-4
Dirge Movement is 50cm, not 40 cm. (probably a copy error from a
jackal)
When adding dirges, you are forced to have a squadron of at least 2,
I changed this to 1-5, from 2-6. As I write this, I realize that
there should be no limit, except the 12 for the fleet. Doh! I'll
have to verify I actually fixed that!
There may be other errors, but these are the ones I have been
addressing.
Thank you for your time,
Ian A. O'Neil
