Hi folks,
After using AB for years, finally trying out the images and cards options. Finding some oddities which I'd love to know if there are workarounds for or if I'm just doing things wrong.
First, I can add unit images, works fine. However, there seems to be separate places to upload images for units and unit cards (Tools->Manage Unit Images, and Tools->Manage Unit Cards). Having just spent a chunk of time setting up one set of images, any way to use the existing images rather than reassigning them all again from scratch?
Second, I can't get the user images to print out at all. Checking (or unchecking) the "Include User Images" box under "Advanced Output Settings" while in the print preview changes nothing.
Third, the user card images printing out after the roster: figured out that you have to "manage unit cards" and enable them unit by unit. OK! However, the only bit that gets printed is the image, nothing about the unit itself (was expecting something like the "Save Custom Output->Unit Cards (3x3)" html saving option). What is this supposed to be doing?
Fourth, is there a way to customize what gets output in the custom output->unit cards html dump? Adding images and squad names, for example, although any degree of control would be handy. The degree to which one can customize the standard roster output has me spoiled! If this is something I need to hack on xsd to make work, fine (any pointers to instructions for this? I know xsd, just need to know where the file AB uses is and how to link it into the menu).
thanks,
Alec
PS - Using the latest AB (v3.4c) and the current Warhammer Fantasy 8th (v2.86) data files.
