Well i tried to bring my necromunda list point values down to Gorkamorka by
deviding all points by 10 to accommodate a campaign for orks and human gangs
after the war of ammageddon, unfortuanatly it rounds up all my fractions, is
this intetional, beyond AB capabilities or just a bug??????

The option to round up has been considered but my gorkamorka friends would
just get confused cause all they know how to do is open a gorkamorka file
and yell WAAAGH and hope for the best



Any suggestions????

Jester
(who is hoping that one day he will be able to convert both files into one
big File)

Beginning with V2.0, you have some various options for rounding. In the
definition file, you can control how rounding is performed on a global
basis. You can also control the number of decimal points used for costs on
a global basis within the definition file. Please take a look at this and
let me know if this doesn't provide you with what you need. The default
handling uses the old (static) behaviors of V1.x, so you might just need to
specify normal rounding behaviors, which is a quick and easy change.

Hope this helps,
Rob

maybe an option that it could be written as gang, army, force etc

In the "General" section, there is an entry entitled "Round". This is where
you specify the type of rounding you want used throughout the data files
for the game system. You'll find the details on page 12 of the Kit manual.

Thanks, Rob

Check out the construction kit manual (ConstKit.rtf)...
Have a look at about page 15 (or search for the word "Rounding" -
it's the first occurrence). It's got all you want to know about the
rounding options for the definition file. It also tells you all about
how to reverse engineer one and rebuild it again when your done
editing it (this bit is near the back of the manual)

Can you elaborate a little more regarding what you want to achieve
with the Necromunda files?

Russell.

It appears that you didn't read ALL of the manual. :-) ABCreator only
allows you to edit DATA files. There are also DEFINITION files. These are
edited as TEXT files. You use the tools ABDef and ABUndef to convert
between the text file and the run-time file. You use a normal text editor
to edit the text file. Please review the manual for more informatoin on
these tools.

Thanks, Rob

OK, I'm only going to say this once.....

*** READ THE FRICKING MANUAL!!! ***

If you were to READ the manual, you would quickly learn that the other
tools are COMMAND LINE tools. You are given explicit instructions about how
to USE them in the MANUAL. Now go and READ the MANUAL, follow the
INSTRUCTIONS provided therein, and come back with questions that are not
blatantly apparent in the MANUAL. :-P

Thanks, Rob
