Just a reminder - this mailing list is for Army Builder - support
and / or general discussions. Not for posting files on - the ab-
files@egroups.com is for that. Also not for discussing the Warhammer
40,000 (3rd edition) files on - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ab-
40k3 is for that.

Subject: getting there....

I'm truckin' along ABCreating my data files for OGRE, after a little trial
and error I finally got it to open in AB - WHOO HOOO!!! I have much refining
to do yet....

issue #1
I notciced (in AB) that on some of my units/vehicles I have "99" in a couple
of the stats, it should be "0" (zero). I can't seem to find any connection
between those that are correct (0) and those that are incorrect (99). This
is appearing in the upper half of AB but it looks ok in the lower half.

issue #2
I save freqeuntly (both Save and File, Save) but some of my stats are
reverting to 0 when I enter the next time to make changes.

issue #3
I'm having some trouble comprehending the "Stat set". I have read over it in
the manual but it's not coming to me.... As I understand it, ALL of the
possible stats should appear in ABCreator under the unit tab but how do I
link one particular stat set to the appropriate unit?

Thanks

Robert

These sound like the same problem to me. Did you at one point add new stats
to your datadef, after writing some data files? If you did, the stats that
you added won't be editable within ABCreator. To solve this, I think (it's
been a while) you have to save your data file to text, then use the ABData
command-line tool to generate the .ogre (or whatever your extension is)
files manually. Once you've done this, all will be well and you'll be able
to edit the new stats as normal.

The 'sset' unit local attribute.

I have noticed that in AB Creator the ‘save to text’ option is greyed out. I
presume that this is due to an action of the file originator. I have the
password for the datadef file but even if I reset that to ‘none’ I still
cannot save the data files to text. I don’t have an immediate need to do
that, but I am thinking if I need to make major changes in the future.
