The following was submitted to me on the ab40k site. I have been able to reproduce it, and since it deals with the loading of saved rosters, I'm assuming that the ball is now in your court Lonewolf.
--------------------------------- Heisenberg's Terminator Honours Steps to reproduce: Start AB3.0b fileset 1.04 Create a new roster: no divergence, no legends, normal mission Add a Captain give the Captain Terminator Honours save the roster goto file->open roster, open the roster you just saved captain is still the right points goto file->open roster, open the same roster again captain is now not being charged for termi honours but still has the extra attack; termi honours is unchecked, checking it gives another extra attack. This doesn't always happen on the second time the roster is opened, sometimes it takes a couple more attempts, but it is very reproduceable. I tried setting "always recompile data files" but it had no effect on the bug. A similar bug happens with Acute Senses, upon reloading it is 1pt less than it should be for a squad, unchecking and rechecking it fixes this until the roster is saved and loaded again. Might be a different bug, might be the same, I'm not sure. --------------------------------- __________________________________________________ ______________ |

I had a very similar issue with the Chaos files. The prob was for
items that were assigned automatically or the cost ammended by a child cost script, i.e. extra armour for vehicle costing diff amounts depending on the base cost or a skill/gift assigned automatically. On the listsets I had two options, referencing the same item, controlled by live statements. When the list was reloaded it was always assigning the one with the higher priority, i.e. prio5 assigned even though the live statement stated that it should not b available and that the item at prio6 had been checked. In the end I had to create seperate items for each option (normal inheritance to the same parent item) which stopped the issue occurring. Am glad u bought this one up as I thought I had done something screwy on the code, it looks like: 1. On the load priority is used before the reference to the item is checked. 2. Base costs are set at different times which can affect script that ammends values based on the starting parent base cost Woohooo - Warmonger, we seem to get all the fun ones!! --- In armybuilder@yahoogroups.com, "warmonger" <warmonger@p...> wrote: > The following was submitted to me on the ab40k site.

Confirmed. I was able to reproduce it each time I opened the roster.
