Interesting choice of words as I am not sure its 'my' problem. 'My' last coding effort was bug free for 6th edition. There is only an issue for 7th edition which I stated I don't own, so technically cannot support anyway. Good luck with the choice of using the inferior product in Battlescribe. I find lots of people say they 'could' use it, but since it sucks they wait for AB. I am sure the remaining programmers will get the files resolved, assuming community users as yourself dont run them off as well.

Since I happened across this thread, let me say that for every impatient user that seems to have no tact or respect for people's time that they donate for these files, there are many silent users like myself that are very appreciative of the work that is done on these files. While I'd love to have 7th, I also understand that I haven't lifted a finger to try building a data file myself. I choose to be grateful and patient rather than throw a childish temper tantrum on an online forum.
Thank you to those of you who have spent countless hours building these files. I've been in the hobby 17 years and this program along with the developers has been a life saver for building lists and printing them. For those of you who can't help but complain....Try building a datafile for free on your own time. It might make you more appreciative of all who have and will build them. Otherwise just go back to pen and paper. Then you can complain to yourself when you screw your own list up. |

I'm actually hoping to complete an app that will integrate that previously built database for my Capstone App Dev class, it's been a major pain in the backside so I've got a less complex back up app ready to go in case I can't get this one knocked out in time. As a customer, sure, I'd love to have my 7th Edition update but as someone that's actually spent time working on databases and application development and integration, I can totally understand that it takes TIME --- especially when these guys (and gals?) are volunteering their time for the data files. |

Can you guys take donations, or will that bring the big GW C&D hammer down? |

Well... I was just thinking that since it was optional you might get away with it. I can kind of understand them not wanting you to charge for it, but donations are a different animal. It sucks if that is the case.

The release of 7th Edition less than two years after 6th Edition also doesn't help with the ability of the team to produce (and then maintain) the data files!

I still use AB to make all my 7th ed, Space Marine lists. The things that i would like to see updated are rather small (Imperial Armour V2, 2nd Ed). To all of you who give your valuable time to help us gamers keep our ducks in a row, I would like to thank you. Please don't let the Trolls grief the rest of us by discouraging you in any way. Your product is great, and I'll wait for the updates with patience. @JusticarGames .... You are a bad apple. |

I'd just like to chip in that I played my first few games of 7th Edition, with Eldar, and now with the new Orks codex out.
I was in the process of making a custom spreadsheet for my Orks since Army Builder for 7th and the Ork codex aren't out yet. It was a little time consuming, so I did a quick search to see what other tools were out there, and I came across Battlescribe. Battlescribe got the basic job done, but it's no Army Builder. I'm still very supportive of Lone Wolf, and I can't wait for the updates to come out. I'm prepared to be patient. Keep up the good work guys! |

I tried editing a datafile once and it was a nightmare for me. That being said keep up the good work all of you who donate your time for this. As much as it would be great to see updates sooner I understand how much work it is, so I will just patiently wait and pop in on here once and a while for some hint of current progress. If people want to get into a nerd rage at volunteers for not being fast enough then maybe they should offer assistance to speed up the process. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HELP, DON'T BITCH!
