Greetings Again All,
I usually refrain from posting, but I must say that the Validation rules
being displayed at the bottom of the roster is the COOLEST end user feature
that I have seen so far in V2, don't get me wrong, V2 rocks, but the small
details like this really just pushes your product over the top even more. I
like it so much that I actually had to make a post to the group =]

Thanks Rob
And thanks to everybody that creates data files. The program is great, but
would be pretty unfriendly if everybody had to create their own data files
=[ So, big thanks to you all also.

Ok...I'm done.

I get this in digest so this has already been replied
to about 83 times but what the hey I'll chip in too.
Necrons were in WD 230, there is a scan (not a
type in) of it at:
http://www.games-workshop.co.uk/gfx/necro/necrons.pdf
Can we see a copy of any emails you send back to the
"you-imbecile" people? Huh huh can we please unca'

Subject: Re: Hey Rob, small problem

Hi there. I installed the latest version of AB and now the program won't
launch. Two error boxes come up, the first being: "Error starting program"
"The WININET.DLL file is linked to missing export SHLWAPI.DLL:wnsprintfA."
The SHLWAPI.DLL file IS there... I copied it to the Armybuilder folder just
to see if that would work, but it didn't. And I don't know what :wnsprintfA
means.

Anyway, second box that comes up is "E:\ArmyBuilder\ArmyBldr.exe" "A device
attached to the system is not funcioning." I checked the CD rom, and it
seems to be working. I guess this might be related to the first error.

Any help would be appreciated, as I can't boot up Army Builder now I'm
bummed. Thanks!

Fred

There is extra wargear in the Dark Eldar list... such as... Servo Arm..
Reductor...Narthecium... trust me I could use them.. but I don't think they

Thank Colen for this one! It was his suggestion. Actually, more than half
of AB's features were originally suggestions from users. So don't be shy
about sending in those suggestions!! :-)

Thanks, Rob

Subject: Re: list options

There is no way to present the user with a list of options in the way that
the "list" attribute works. However, you can use the "more" attribute on an
option to achieve a similar effect. The difference is that all the options
will appear in the standard list of options. If you create a bunch of
options with different names for your units, you can then create a single
option that uses the "more" attribute multiple times to chain to each of
the name options. Then, you simply need to attach the single option to all
your units and they all will show up with all of the chained options.

If your goal is to use the same unit repeatedly, then you may wish to look
at the "Save Unit" facility provided by Army Builder. If you save a unit,
you can then reload that unit into a future roster, complete with all of
the same options and items selected. Would this be easier (i.e. no editing
of data files)?

Hope this helps,
Rob

I've taken this issue to private email, since it may involve a few
iterations. Please let me know if you do not receive a detailed response

Subject: Re: Hey Colen....

These are also now available for heroes of the imperium, blood angels
commanders, farseers, and warbosses (to name the ones I checked
quickly). Might want to double check how you're restricting these.
As another little note, people who can take rosarii and terminator armor
(such as chaplains & inquisitors) have a weird looking save now that
terminator armor gives an invulnerable save.
Note 3: Space marine librarians with pair lightning claws can still take
a force weapon.
Note 4: Is it possible to remove a Ulthwe seer council farseer's ability
to take a jetbike?

Sorry I know you said not to ask but I have to...the
Dark Eldar Banana???

Also it appears that a number of marine wargear
options are available to -all- races:
Reductor, Signum, Sacred Standard, Narthecium, and
Servo Arm.
