somewhat fluent with programing. SO if anyone could offer me some
help please message here, maybe leave your email so i can talk to you

I'll help with specific questions.

My advice (which is how I learned) is to examine the files for an
existing game you're familiar with (W40K in my case). Think about the
rules you want to implement in AB, and think of a set of files that
already implements them, and look to see how they did it.

Admittedly, I also asked a lot of questions, and Rob Bowes (AB's
programmer) and Colen McAlister (the original 40K files author) were
very helpful.

OK cool, first off i play warhammer fantasy, and yes i have been
looking at the files for that game system and it has helped a little.
I guess you could call this question one. I want to know how to
create my own data file i think it is called. Is it possible for me
to setup my own data base so i can in essnce have totally different
options. basically this is the conflict i see before me. I want to
create a new game so i go to new, but it gives me preexisting options
for lets say warhammer or that tutorial thing. I want to be able to
start my own, is this possible and what do i need or what do i do to
start my own file? thanx, i might be totally off the target but its
what i've found, thanx for the help mathias.

In the manual for the construction kit, it describes how to make a
definition file for AB. That allows you to set up the rules you want
(Construction Kit Manual, pg 11).
