Hi
I'm creating data files manually using text files and am having a problem. Does anyone have an example text data file they could post so I can take a look? Thanks Pete |

Just open any datafile in ABCreator and use the 'Save to text' option in the file menu; that'll generate a perfect text file from which you can work. If you have any specific problems with things not working, just post them to this group and I'm sure someone will give you a hand. -- Colen McAlister (colen@wolflair.com) Lone Wolf Development www.wolflair.com |

Yeah - tried that but when the file is locked (such as the Warmaster files I have), you can't save it as a text file... > If you have any specific problems with things not working, just post them > to this group and I'm sure someone will give you a hand. I'm having trouble determining the composition, category and type fields. As I understand it, the composition field has to be in the Compositions definition, the category in the Units definition and the type can be any old text - is that right?

Try downloading the 40k files - they aren't locked, and should provide examples for every situation you need. > > If you have any specific problems with things not working, just post them > > to this group and I'm sure someone will give you a hand. > >I'm having trouble determining the composition, category and type fields.

I believe so, although the type must be up to 10 alphanumeric characters long (i.e. no spaces). -- Colen McAlister (colen@wolflair.com) Lone Wolf Development www.wolflair.com |
