Subject: Possible error in V2.0
Hi,
I am using the external attribute "lcmp" on a unit, with some strange results.
The expression I am using is:lcmp:drv>mod/2-msg=otderv
drv and mod are two of my stats which have been derived from various unit counts.
I would expect that if drv was 5 and mod was 8, the message would be displayed, however, the logic appears to be in reverse.
drv = 0 to 4 mod = 8 message given
drv = 5+ mod = 8 no message given
Is there a glitch, or am I going daft ?
Cheers,
Simon Day

Well, why do you think I try to promote your product here at
any given opportunity? =
Anyway, of course I have to respect your decisions, but
don´t you see a a contradiction here?
So please let me show you my point of view: I think as long
as there are no datafiles in other languages, the growth of
the user-base will be limited to users willing to use
english rosters.
But as long as there is no support for other languages built
in AB, translating them and keeping them up to date is a
real pain in the ass not only for the translator but also
for the guy keeping the english files up to date as he must
document every little change for the translator to keep up
with his efforts.
Colen did this some time for me when I translated the
WH40k-files, so I know how much work this meant for him and
I´m really afraid of putting him through this again. That´s
why I think there will never be so many translated datafiles
without specific support for them, which limits the
user-base and well, here we start all over...
Or just have a look at the situation with the WH40k 2nd Ed.
files that are written in German. That´s the same situation
the other way round.
