Space marine sergeant weapon options

[jboweruk]

Don't know how, because it won't let us equip both at all, not a validation error it just plain refuses. How does your tac sgt look? I mean on screen, down the right hands side what options do you have?

Mine shows Boltgun, Bolt pistol, if I deselect them I have 2 lists, one of melee weapons, one of ranged, and then of course 2 options for Chainsword at the top of those last 2 lists. If I select for example 'Power Sword' all but one of the Chainswords becomes greyed out and disabled.

Ok using Blood Angels as my chapter.
X Infantry
Blank Bolt Pistol
Blank Boltgun
+1 Plasma Pistol
+1 Power Sword

x Frag Grenades
x Krak Grenades
x Power Armor

heck I can check 2 Chainswords or powerswords if I want to. and I don't get a validation error for it.

Ah, you will then, Blood Angels aren't a Codex chapter. Try Ultras or Space Marines instead. That is where the issue lies as they are a different codex.

And by the way, I wouldn't expect to see any updates too quickly, one of the maintainers has quit, and from what he said the other 2 aren't far behind.

Misquoted.

I said I stepped down and was unaware of the intentions of the other 2. I know for fact one is still working on the files, but his focus is not SM, he happens to be working on the Nids.

Sorry, sounded like you thought they were considering it too....

[cryptoknight]

It doesn't look to hard to modify.... but I then noticed that unlike herolab I don't have the option to create a thing that overrides a thing... or at least not that I saw. Sad really... makes me wonder if I screwed up buying Armybuilder since I bought it solely for 40k

Army builder is a very robust tool and not as simple as many people first assume. I suggest taking a look at the a creator demo for how to edit files using the test files provided to get a basic foundation before trying to edit the 40k files. The 40k files use a lot of processing and options that many other games simply do not need.

THANK-YOU THANK-YOU THANK-YOU THANK-YOU THANK-YOU

Thank you for making this change for us.

I wish I could better extend my gratitude in a way that would actually reward the Data File authors. Not just for this change, but for all the work those guys do to make my Hobby so much better.

Thank-You!!!

P.S. Could you make the same change on the Iron Hand file? Luv ya.

I'm not trying to jump in on the topic matter as I quit 40k a long while back for a range of reasons - I just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear JLong has dropped out of the AB40k maintainers. It is a thankless task with some thanks but frequent complaints that at times become downright abusive (please don't jump down my neck this isn't aimed at anyone on here). The 40k files take a whole lot of work and despite people being reminded that the authors do it for free in their own time they get harangued and hassled over the usual GW word splitting/poor phrasing.

Sorry to hear the new JLong, I hope you stay working on other AB files as it would be a great loss if you dropped off completely (trust me, it pulls ya back again!!)
