Moving the cost column in the available view

I searched the forum with no luck so here goes... Is it possible to move the cost column in the available section (which appears first on the left) to the extreme right? I was unable to find any examples where this was true on the posted datafiles and have had no luck myself finding a solution.

Also, is it possible to rename the term "model" that appears in the UI?


I have been out of the loop since 1.x days and am a little behind the 8 Ball.

Thanks so much for your help!

First off, I assume we're talking about ABv3...

The name and cost columns are fixed in position...

Where are you seeing "model"? The .def file for a game system allows you to redefine names for "Roster", "Race", "Unit", "Item", "Squad", the various Points names, "Leader Name" and "Leader Abbreviation"... They can all be found on the "Info" tab when you are editing a .def file with ABCreator.

Hope that helps,
Russell.
 
Yes I was speaking of AB 3.x. I appreciate the answers regarding the fixed locations of the name and cost colums. As far as the term "model" is concerned, it is displayed in the Army Builder application UI and appears on the menu when you right click on a unit. The option to either increment, decrement, or specify the model count is offered. The game system I am working on uses the cocept of "elements" as its smallest denomination rather than models. I was just looking at a way to make the experience a little better. I would assume this term cannot be edited nor the little stick figure icon that appears after the model count in parans after the squad name.

Thanks again for the help.

If you have a look at the necromunda files, the term model has been replaced by the term "fighter" (except in the right click pop-up menu - which is probably a bug)... So you should be able to change model to element for your game system... The little stick figure can't be changed as far as I understand it (rob?)

The cost column position is fixed, and you cannot change the term 'model'.
Which game are you looking at that would need these to be changed? We
didn't expect that functionality to be needed, which is why you currently
can't do it. :)
