Re: EMPIRE UPDATE DOWNLOAD ADDED
u have to download the file from this site
http://support.wolflair.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index
then delete the numbers in the filename then cut and paste the new file into the WH6 folder in the army builder directory on your computer replacing the old empire file.
or if u knew all that and was just wondering if there would be an offical update then

No, I didn't know any of this. It dosn't make any of this clear on Army Builder. I'm not trying to hassle people, I'm just someone who bought Army Builder only to discover that it dosn't actually support my army, which I'm surprised and disapointed by because I would have thought that WFB was one of the best supoprted games in the world. I'm on these forums to try and get some inkling as to whether the Empire files will ever appear, not to try and hassle people .
So, if anyone would help me with a couple of questions I'd be grateful -
- When does a file move from the manual downloads section of this site to become an auto-download update within Army Builder, and who is responsible for implementing it into AB as an update?
- Also, could anyone please give me a step by step (for a computer layman) as to what I need to do to manually download a file, i.e which numbers to delete and which file to over-write (as I'm confused as to why apollo says that there will be no official update when it seems that the main bugs are fixed).
Cheers for any help.

Re: EMPIRE UPDATE DOWNLOAD ADDED
Hi folks - like the other person posting about the Empire bugs/fixes I don't understand how to get them into my Army Builder? I have managed to get a file called 'empire280207.dat' onto my desk top but have no idea what to do with it and to be honest your explanation above made no sense to me...delete the numbers in the filename??? What numbers in what filename.
Is there no chance of getting these bug fixes made into a regular update please - I'm afraid there's a bunch of us techno-challenged folk getting extremely frustrated with Army Builder not being able to provide a user friendly update to the Empire rules.
I've used Army Builder for years and never experienced this much trouble getting some bugs updated.
Please help. :?

Re: EMPIRE UPDATE DOWNLOAD ADDED
Apologies for my extremely techinal and difficult explanation as for how to get the file to work. i shall try and put it more simply
firstly when i said delete the numbers in the filename (empire280207.dat)
this actually means delete the numbers in the filename!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so you change the file name from empire280207.dat to empire.dat.
you then copy the file from your desktop and put it in the WH6 folder in the army builder directory on your computer.
im sorry i really dont get what there is not to undestand. over 1000 people have downloaded the various updates i have put over the past few months this is the first time i have needed to explain what to do in any detail.

Completely uncalled for Apollo
I have to respond to a very out of place comment and general attitude from Apollo. Your personally negative response to a poster who was simply stating their frustration and candor was unacceptable. He was not attacking you personally nor was he being rude. Yet you decided to respond in a frankly childish and negative way. Your poor attitude needs to be corrected and you should appoligize to the poster and show you have the class expected of a person with a high intelligence.
The responce you received from your comment must have told you that your initial comment was out of place. I expect you to act and respond in a more positive and adult manner from now on or I will report you to the admin and ask for your suspension.
I don't care how much you are trying to help, the issue is that you need to be more aware of your actions here and treat folks with respect.

Re: Completely uncalled for Apollo
i apoligise huguly for my general attitude. But when i spend hours of my own time fixing bugs and uploading a number of files so that the empire files on army builder are usable.
so much so that when the offical update was released the person felt the need to thank me for all the help i had given in the very first line of the offical warhammer update. i think im well within my rights to be a little annoyed when someone is moaning about the fact that the update isnt instantly done for them and they have to spend 20seconds cutting and pasting a file.
and as for my final comment that was simply as i had seen the episode of friends in which the line is from that day. which if u read his post i couldnt resist making a joke as what he said was so very silly
"I have managed to get a file called 'empire280207.dat' onto my desk top but have no idea what to do with it and to be honest your explanation above made no sense to me...delete the numbers in the filename??? What numbers in what filename"

How to Update (for non experts)
apollo0681. Thankyou for the work you do to fix the various bugs, it is appreciated. Thankyou for apologizing for overreacting to a techno-challenged user. I tried to help lindemann by phone. It was not the renaming of the file that was really the problem, but what to do with it after that. If you are not familiar with the data structure of the program, it is not intuitive to go rooting around and replacing files. Despite being a systems analyst of 8 years experience and having programmed, I got stuck too. I am not a tech-newbie and definitely not an idiot. Until I saw your post stating "then cut and paste the new file into the WH6 folder in the army builder directory on your computer replacing the old empire file." I was a lost as the next guy. That tidbit is the key to it all. Problem solved. Thanks.
Below for regular users is some guidance.
Exit Army Builder.
Download the new Empire data file from:
http://support.wolflair.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=124
Save the file to your PC (Desktop is an easy place to put it)
Rename the file from empire280207.dat to empire.dat
Locate your wh6 folder (typically c:\Program Files\ArmyBuilder\data\wh6)
(Notice that there are other .dat files such as dwarves.dat, this is what the program uses to interpret the various special rules and units for each race)
Cut and Paste (or drag and drop) your new empire.dat file from the Desktop to the wh6 folder.
A message will appear asking if you to 'Confirm File Replace'. Answer yes and you will overwrite the old file with the new download.
Start Army Builder. The new updates should be seen when you create a new list.

Many thanks OgrimDoombringer - your patient assitance was greatly appreciated.
Apollo0681 - I accept your apology for what you wrote (and then removed), and I certainly do appreciate the fact that you have worked hard to fix the various bugs associated with the Empire update. For the record, what OgrimDoombringer has posted made much more sense to me and was easy to follow for a self-confessed technotard - please remember apollo0681 that not everyone understands this stuff as well as you.
Thanks as well to 08Ball for your comments and suggestions.

hope u 2 guys got it working in the end.
just for the record i was only intending to have a bit of a laugh at your expense rather than cause huge offence.
if u look at the time i edited the last line it was before 08ball had posted anything and abvoiusly before i had read what he said. the reason i edited it was becuase a mate of mine pointed out that it may be taken far more seriously than which it was intended.
anyhow we shall leave it there guys. Good luck with the new empire list.
