So how do I open this file for 40K2 anyway? I tried to import it and
download it directly to my data fiule directory but AB will not recognize the
file. Could this be due to the file type being listed as ".AB[1]" instead of
".AB"?

Which site were you looking at?
Army Builder is at http://www.wolflair.com with fairly obvious links
to Army Builder.
The Army Builder home page is:
http://www.wolflair.com/Army_Builder/army_builder.htm
The download link is the first one on the page that says:
"Download Now!"
Enjoy,
Russell.

If you've done the Tutorial and still don't know what's going on,

The way you rename the file is by downloading it, then right clicking
on the file (when its on your computer) and choosing 'rename'. See
if that works before I send you the file, as it might be a quick fix
for all those who are in the same boat. I'll see what I can do about
re-uploading the file (probably with the IG, I just finished them).

The Kit is free. Anyone crazy - er, adventurous - enough to write data
files has probably invested in the full the product. Besides, writing data
files doesn't serve much purpose unless you've already got the full
product.
Army Builder uses its own native file format for data files at run-time.
However, you can also save files to text files if you want. You'll find
full details within the Construction Kit documentation. In general, though,
you on need to edit the definition file as a text file and use ABCreator to
edit data files - without ever needing to know anything about the actual
contents of data files.

Subject: Re: New file uploaded to armybuilder
Most likely, you already have a file with the same name in your folder. So,
your browser is probably being "helpful" and automatically changing the
name so that you don't overwrite the previous copy. Make sure that you
don't already have file with the same name in the folder, or download the
file to another folder. The file ought to be saved correctly.
This should not have ANYTHING to do with the way the file was actually
uploaded to the web-site. It is something with how you are downloading the
file - probably your browser being "helpful" in confusing ways.

You can do that by pressing whichever button it is that allows you to
"add another Sentinel". In effect, this increases the group size by one,
and allows you to customize that one as you like.

I tried that, and it ends up adding the points as if to give each sentinal in
the squadron the wargear items. The only way I can figure out how to do it
is to make a squadron of one sentinal with the wargear, and a squadron of two
stock (which actually might be better game wise. Might as well have 3
independant sentinals if they're my only fast attack units).

The way you rename the file is by downloading it, then right clicking
on the file (when its on your computer) and choosing 'rename'. See
if that works before I send you the file, as it might be a quick fix
for all those who are in the same boat. I'll see what I can do about
re-uploading the file (probably with the IG, I just finished them).

The Kit is free. Anyone crazy - er, adventurous - enough to write data
files has probably invested in the full the product. Besides, writing data
files doesn't serve much purpose unless you've already got the full
product.
Army Builder uses its own native file format for data files at run-time.
However, you can also save files to text files if you want. You'll find
full details within the Construction Kit documentation. In general, though,
you on need to edit the definition file as a text file and use ABCreator to
edit data files - without ever needing to know anything about the actual
contents of data files.
Thanks, Rob

Most likely, you already have a file with the same name in your folder. So,
your browser is probably being "helpful" and automatically changing the
name so that you don't overwrite the previous copy. Make sure that you
don't already have file with the same name in the folder, or download the
file to another folder. The file ought to be saved correctly.
This should not have ANYTHING to do with the way the file was actually
uploaded to the web-site. It is something with how you are downloading the
file - probably your browser being "helpful" in confusing ways.
Thanks, Rob

Subject: Re: Sentinal Squadrons
Do all vehicles in a squadron have to be given the same wargear? I wanted to
give 1 Sentinal improved comms and a HK missile, and the other two in the
squadron stock, but AB won't allow this. I'm new to playing IG. Hope this
isn't too dumb of a question...

You can do that by pressing whichever button it is that allows you to
"add another Sentinel". In effect, this increases the group size by one,
and allows you to customize that one as you like.

I tried that, and it ends up adding the points as if to give each sentinal in
the squadron the wargear items. The only way I can figure out how to do it
is to make a squadron of one sentinal with the wargear, and a squadron of two
stock (which actually might be better game wise. Might as well have 3
independant sentinals if they're my only fast attack units).
