IG Chimera options ??

[Guntharwest]

Help me Mr. Wizard - I can't seem to find the additional wargear options for the Chimera transport - (IG Codex pg 99) Camo netting is there, and are the turret options, but no Hvy Bolter vs Hvy Flamer, or Pintle Mtd Storm bolter, Dozer blade, Extra Armor.

I have the settings set to basic mission.

Thanks Gunthar.

 

[Mr_Rose]

Do you have the latest version (v1.11a) and both the patch and the hotfix?

With 1.11a and both patches I can select a chimera as a transport for a veteran squad, switch the hull weapon to a heavy flamer, and give it a pintle stubber, as well as camo netting, a dozer blade, extra armour and a HK missile.

You can get the latest files and report any bugs at www.ab40k.org

 

[Guntharwest]

I'm running version 1.11a, how do I find & use the hotfix?

Thanks

Gunther

I went to the 40KAB list & downloaded the hotfix & Patch, but I get the following error message when I try to load

The data files could not be loaded due to the following errors:

Any suggestions ??

Thanks again

[Mr_Rose]

Uh...
lemme see; you seem to be missing a whole bunch of data files - did you un-tick the "delete other files" option when you imported the patch?

You need to re-load the 1.11a release and the patches but make sure that neither of the patches delete any files that the patches themselves don't replace.

 

[Guntharwest]

Thanks !!

Mr. Rose,

Thanks for your help - I would have never thought to uncheck the delete files box.

I did, and it worked.

Pintle mounted Heavy Stubber

I am having issues getting the Pintle mounted Heavy Stubber option to show up for any IG vehicle.

What information do you need from me to help?

 

[Spack]

What you need to do is download the latest file from http://www.ab40k.org/filebase.php?c=4 , this hasn't hit the AB automatic updates yet so you're still using files from the beginning of December.

 

[Tilarium]

Ok, so one problem is solved, I'm getting the full options again... but getting that long list of errors that Guntharwest posted. Followed the link and DLed the newest version but it didn't help. Re-installed army builder and then added the newest version (again with the box unchecked) and still getting the error list. Only getting it when I try to load already made lists. Not sure what else I could do to beable to view my old rosters.. but do you?

 

[Spack]

As noted in every release of the AB40k files, loading old rosters will often not work because options get changed/removed, and this is especially true when a new codex is introduced. You should not be getting the same list of errors that Guntharwest had - that list is specific to loading the 1.11a file, and then not unticking the "delete files not modified" option when loading the hotfix patch. This same problem does not occur with the 1.11.1.0 release on the AB40k.org site, I can only assume you're getting a different list of errors that is related to loading a roster with options/units that no longer exist in the current files.

What you should be able to do is load the roster, ignore the errors, and save it as a new roster (don't overwrite your old one!). Then open that new one, and check that everything is still there, re-add in units/options that are missing.

If you're trying to load an old Dark Eldar roster then you're out of luck - it needed a major overhaul for the new codex.

It's just not always possible to make new files backwards compatible with old rosters, but AB itself does do a reasonable job of filtering out the problem choices and letting you save out what it can recover.

The Pintle-mounted heavy stubber works great.

Now, how to include more than one optional Servitor for my Techpriest Engineseer? All I see for thst option is a single box that can be either checked or not, allowing either zero or one Servitors. Not "up to five servitors" at 15 points per model (IG Codex pg 93).

Select the Servitor sub-unit and increment the count with the [+] button like you would any other unit.
