Subject: Re: Datafile for WH 40k 2nd Ed.
Erm ...
Is it just me or does it seem pretty poiintless that 3 different
groups out there try to make their own 40k2 datafiles?
By far the easiest must be to get a german-fluent guy translate the
german ones, then work out the rest? - 'Far as I remember, they are
not complete.
BTW I have all the Codices, am (semi-)fluent in German, and has
played 40k2 since '93.
I'm quite willing to be _part_ of the team, but I just don't have the
time to do it all.
And, No, I won't part with the codices.
Lars Gottlieb.

I think that when somebody (probably John Connell who did the v.5
files) makes the new files, he shold give them a new name - WB6 comes
to mind.
This would save af few thousand users the trouble of
renaming/editing.

I'm guessing that it's a .40k file that's been zipped. I don't
believe AB will import it. Just try unzipping it into your data
folder.

Yeah, you just have to drop them in the "data" directory since they're
.40k files, and they will load automatically (sorry should have said that
earlier). Hopefully that's your problem, if it's coming up with errors
when it does load (which closes AB altogether) then we need to talk
and figure the problem out (though I don't have the time to support
the files very well).
As for new updates, I believe the file will actually get erased unless the
box is unchecked, since the file is not included in Colen's set yet.

Unzip it to get the .40K file and drop that into the 'data' directory.
No need to import it from the AB screen, just start wh40k.

Very Shagadelic! After my intial block dissolved, I
got some serious work done on the Ork and Tyranid
stuff. Gotta nother question. How do you tie the
number of an option into the number of the unit
itself? Basically, how do I make it so you can just
select 0-1 Deathspitter per Tyranid Warrior, but these
choices 'decrease' based on whether you take a Venom
Cannon or not? And have all of this be 'maxed' by the
unit size number (i.e. if there's 3 Warriors in the
brood, you can't take like 6 Deathspitters). Am I
making any sense at all here?
