Looking for any new help files

For creating files for AB3.

Never worked on an AB file before and feeling a bit lost, been reading
and stumbling through the docs in the author kit, but if there are
more docs or a tip sheet for doing a file pls let me know.

I don't know of any more docs, which hopefully there will be at some
point soon.
But the most extensive data files are the ones for 40k. I think we
put the program through its paces quite well. Take a look at those
files for ideas. And of course, posting questions here helps as a lot
of datafile developers (40k and otherwise) read and post here a lot.

Unfortunately the construction kit doesn't yet have a tutorial (we're
working on one, and hope to have it out soon). Until then, your best source
of ideas is probably to look at other data files. Find something that
duplicates what you want to do, and work out how it does it. If you
can't find something, post what you need to do here and we'll be happy to help.


Hope this helps,
