Subject: RE: AB design wishlist
Good day Imhotep.
I have a question that I am hoping you can answer for me. I put this
question to Mathias Gehl and he referred me to you.
I am working on my own Space Marine chapter for WH40K. I know, I
know...EVERYBODY has their own 'special' chapter. <grin>
Anyway, I am able to make my army list use the VDR rules, but whenever I
select the Custom Vehicle unit and attempt to assign weapons to it, the
Weapons list is empty. I know that I can build links to be able to use
them, but that is one heck of a lot of weapons. How have the other
'splinter' chapters done this? I cant find a 'race' reference that defines
these armies as 'legal', which I suspected was the work-around, in the
base.40K file.
Argh.
Can you help? Sorry to bypass the workgroup, but I got this email and it
seemed the easiest way to ask you.
Cheers!!

I can't help with all the new stuff but there is something you can do
rather quickly for one of them.
If you save to a text file, you can use your editor's search and replace
to quickly change all the references, then use abdata to recompile it.
As for the Wish List.... I have a couple of my own:
- I would like to see is a lot more child unit control available from
items. The meager capabilities of uadd, and the fact that the child units
that it adds can't interact with its parent unit a quite a hindrance.
- When a constructed item is taken it would be nice if it was editable.
That way a constructed item could be taken from a *hide* group with a
take
erm option and elem: to select initial elements, and the user can
modify it later. Currently it is not possible to automatically take a
constructed item, or to use hidden categories for constructed items.
- Some interaction within the conflict groups. For instance, conflict
groups within the items area have no effect on options in the same conflict
group.
Cheers,

Subject: RE: VDR Help - Was AB design wishlist
Greets,
You need to add augementation records (**= your race) for the following options:
zzVoidSh&zzTarg3&zzHumCh >> lglx:race=**
zzTank&zzLightV&zzImmobi&zzFlyer >> type:smTank-legal=race=**
zzWalker >> type:smDread-legal=race=**
I recommend not modifying base.40k and using augmentation records inmsted.

There was no reply here. Has someone fixed this or is there going to be
Skirmish files? I am currious as my freinds and I are playing a lot of
Skirmish lately.
--------------------------------
I, personally, have no plans on doing a skirmish version of the files.
There are a lot of changes to do to make the current files work with
Skirmish neatly, I would need to add the monsters from the High Elf book,
and there are a number of issues such as whether to support the scenarios or
not - it would probably be better as a stand-alone. One person has
contacted me saying they had been revising my files to work with Skirmish
but I haven't seen him post them yet.

I have a set of files ready to go, I'm just waiting to hear back on getting
them added to the file search function within AB. I suppose I could put
them on this list, for the time being.
Let me know and I'll attempt to accomodate as best I can.
