You could just use Composition Rule Sets, like I did for my CSM file for Iron Warriors, which you can download at the 40k maintainer's site here: http://ab40k3.pids.net/modules.php?o...download&cid=5 Basically, you create a xbrk statements for the race for each scenario where there are at least two fast attack choices that will reduce the FA by 2 and increase the HS by one, and the user can select or deselect it in the Roster | Composition Rule Set menu. The same thing could be done for the Wordbearers. You need to make sure you add the -mode tag on the end so that each xbrk only applies to the scenario you intend it to, such as this attribute which can be selected in the Standard Mission scenario: xbrk:"+1 Heavy Slot"="HQ@1-2,Elit@0-3,Trp@2-6,Fast@0-1,Hvy@0-4,Othr@?"-mode=default Mark --- alex_di_pinto <alexdipinto@tiscalinet.it> wrote: > Hi, i'm making some datafile for Warhammer 40K Codex Chaos and i found > some problems... > > 1) How can i change only 1 composition group leaving the others > intact? > > Ex.

Yes, but i need to specify all other composition groups, not only those i want to change... For Word bearers it doesn't work! Because i have 3 options per scenario (swap elite for troop, swap f.attack for troop, swap h.support for troop) and if i choose the first i have compo groups like this 1-2 HQ, 0-2 elite, 2-7 troops, 0-3 f.attack, 0-3 h.support, if i choose the second i have compos like this 1-2 HQ, 0-3 elite, 2-7 troops, 0-2 f.attack, 0-3 h.support, but if i choose both two? I should have 1-2 HQ, 0-2 elite, 2-8 troops, 0-2 f.attack, 0-3 h.support but it doesn't work this way! I need a way to perform a relative change, like +1 Troop, -1 Fast Attack; +1 Troop, -1 H.Support and so on... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Green" <mach_5@rocketmail.com> To: ab@support.wolflair.com Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 5:37 PM Subject: Re: [AB] Runtime modifying of Composition Groups... > You could just use Composition Rule Sets, like I did for my CSM file for > Iron Warriors, which you can download at the 40k maintainer's site here: > > http://ab40k3.pids.net/modules.php?o...file=index&req =viewdownload&cid=5 > > Basically, you create a xbrk statements for the race for each scenario > where there are at least two fast attack choices that will reduce the FA > by 2 and increase the HS by one, and the user can select or deselect it in > the Roster | Composition Rule Set menu.

I think the only other way to do it is using the acmp attribute in an option. You could assign options to core units that lower the actual troop unit count by one so that AB thinks there are fewer units than there are, like "acmp:Trp-1u". So if you had 8 troop units and two of them had this option checked, AB would count only 6 troop units. You would still need some kind of check to make sure you don't take the option more times than you are allowed (ie, more times than you have unused elite/fast/heavy choices) and I can't really think of an easy way to do that off the top of my head. There is no way that I know of to dynamically change composition groups at runtime the way you are proposing to.

You need to do two things. First, package up the files using the ABExport tool. This creates a file that AB can directly import. Second, contact helpdesk@wolflair.com with the details to setup an author account for you. You'll need to include the game system, publisher, publisher website, plus your name and email address.
