Subject: datafile making question
Hi. For a starter. I'm total newbie for making AB datafiles. Have
been reading documents but don't have time to read and study it
thoroughly(could make time but since I'm not making datafiles all
that much not worth spending limited time) but right now I'm trying
to make datafile for warmaster game(I'm using existant fileset as
base) for new high elves(our group production, we feel rulebook list
is way broken, as side note I'm the HE player so isn't my whining on
something I can't beat, so we'll fix it ourselves). Problem. I have
unit's defined in way it should be made(looking at original high elf
datafile) but unit doesn't appear on listing.
So far I have defined stats, ID, abbrev, unit type, composition
group, unit category, cost, size info and external attributes + of
course race and stuff there is. Something I have missed?

Subject: RE: datafile making question
Hi,
First thing to check - The first two characters of your unit code must be
the same as the race code.
If this is Ok, then unless you have defined the unit with a 'hide' condition
or have set it within the "special character" group of the files, it should
show up.
Have you adjusted the original list, or added an extra data file to it ?
Cheers,
Simon Day

Subject: Re: Digest Number 798
I'll be there, I go every year. I live in Delaware, Ohio. I have thought
about signing up to be a volunteer but not for GMing anything. I seem to be
hoplessly stuck in the 80-90's. I like older games, aka - stuff few people
seem to play that does not involve lots and lots of cards.... CENTURION,
SPACE HULK, OGRE Minis (which is re-released).
I am still struggling with creating a AB file for OGRE and CENTURION. I
haven't put much effort into latley and I got frustrated because I'm a
"clueless old fart" when it comes to computers and creating anyhting beyond
an email.
I have read the manual but something about it escapes me. I can put a
bicycle together out of the box but I'm a hands on builder - I need parts to
put my hands on.

Hmmm...Good to know. That's failing definetly. Which field is the

Extra since original was locked(so figured one can't change it).

Subject: RE: datafile making question
In the original file, go to the 'Race' tab. The high elves will have a race
prefix (it's 2nd field down I think) and chances are it will be set to 'HE'
or some other obvious code for High Elves.
In your own extension file on your new unit, the unit code / unit reference
which is on the top line, second field from the left should also start with
this two character code.
Remember ALL the codes in Armybuilder are context specific, so 'HE' is not
the same as 'he'
e.g. if the "High Elves" race prefix is 'he'.
A unit created called 'spearmen, with a code of 'hespear' will show up.
A unit created called 'spearmen' with a code of 'HESPEAR' will not show up.
A unit created called 'spearmen' with a code of 'elfspear' will not show up.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Simon Day

Hmmm...Good to know. That's failing definetly. Which field is the
field you are describing?

Nope. Atleast I think I haven't...It isn't automatic is it?

Extra since original was locked(so figured one can't change it).

Subject: RE: datafile making question
In the original file, go to the 'Race' tab. The high elves will have a race
prefix (it's 2nd field down I think) and chances are it will be set to 'HE'
or some other obvious code for High Elves.
In your own extension file on your new unit, the unit code / unit reference
which is on the top line, second field from the left should also start with
this two character code.
Remember ALL the codes in Armybuilder are context specific, so 'HE' is not
the same as 'he'
e.g. if the "High Elves" race prefix is 'he'.
A unit created called 'spearmen, with a code of 'hespear' will show up.
A unit created called 'spearmen' with a code of 'HESPEAR' will not show up.
A unit created called 'spearmen' with a code of 'elfspear' will not show up.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Simon Day
