AB 2.1 Weirdness

[B-Morgan at concentric.ne]

I have a Dark Eldar Roster (and a Space Marine roster I think) that was
generated with AB 2.0 and 2.12 40K files. When I load the roster into 2.1
and 2.13 (and I believe its the upgrade from 2.12 to 2.13 that causes the
problem), It tells me the roster was created with a different version, that
it loaded correctly, but while
all the points are there, nothing shows up in the roster section.

I'll go build the roster again, but I feel better complaining about it first
<G>.

Regards,

Brad

Just for info.

I'm having the same problem with the Vor files with the AB
upgrade. Points are there, but actual roster isn't.

Fairly easy to see your old roster apart from reloading the old AB files
that is. Select View Full Size Roster. Still doesn't appear when you go
back to normal view but you can see what is there, print it off and redo
it as you see fit so that it can be seen.

We do get warned before importing that our files may be lost so we can't
really complain. The import facility is easy enough to just reload the
older version and print off a copy to re-enter if all else fails. I keep
older datafiles for that very purpose. That said I usually redesign my
armies regularly so starting from scratch is no great shakes. I do like
the unit options though and invariably recreate my preferred options
when then become obsolete with new datafiles.

Ok folks, thanks to Brad's helpful example rosters, I figured out what the
problem is here. The roster is being loaded fine, but the warning is
causing AB to handle it a little differently from normal. Unfortunately,
the display initialization is being bypassed due to the warning, so you
don't see anything, even though your roster behaves as if it's all there
(it is - internally).

The simplest solution (until I release a patch) is to just save your roster
back out immediately after loading it in. When you load it again, it was
saved with the proper set of data files, so no error is reported and it
works perfectly.

Thanks, Rob
