I hacked together a file for D&D Chainmail. It's the first time I've created an AB file from scratch.
I guess my first question is, is anyone else doing one? I'd hate to duplicate our efforts. Anyway, I have a question: Ranged Attack (RAtt) is a signed stat, but it does not apply to all models, so I set 0.0=-. Unfortunately, when there's a zero in the stat, it is displaying +0 instead of -. Here's the line from the data definition file: RAtt | 4 | 0 | 0.0=- | 99.0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | . | . | . Is there a workaround? Thanks, Rich ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Clever Cam is a pen sized digital camera, webcam, and mini-camcorder.

I haven't tried this, but I *THINK* that the issue is you are specifying a
value of "2" for the "signed" field in the definition file. A value of 2 forces a "+" to be prepended to the stat value if it is zero, which overrides the mapping of a zero value to "-". If you switch to a value of "1", I believe you will get the proper behavior. If not, it may be a bug that I need to fix, in which case please send me the files and I'll look at it myself.

I tried 1 instead of 2 and it gives the same result: +0.
I'll email you the files directly.
