v2.0 Gromril weapon bug

[gaius_octavius at usa.net]

Hello,

I've upgraded to Army Builder 2.0 and run a Reiklander warband in a
Mordheim campaign. I think that I've come across a bug either in
Army Builder or in the Mordheim files. I'm not sure where it is, so
I'll try to give as much information as possible (probably too much)
so that someone can fix the bug.

My warband came across a Gromril axe. I listed gave it to one of my
Youngbloods. I listed it by paying 5 g.c. for the axe and 15 g.c.
for the gromril weapon 'special equipment' for a total of 20 g.c., as
gromril weapons cost 4x the normal cost of a weapon.

I saved the warband and the next time I tried to re-open that warband
it gave the following error message: "Error reading data from roster
file." Sometimes when I tried to re-open it, I got this message and
it would then kick me back to the screen where I can chose to Create
or Load a roster, Import files. Other times, after I got the message
and clicked on "OK," it would try to open a new Dwarven
Treasurehunters warband. This lead me to believe that the gromril
weapon might be the problem.

So, I created and saved a new, stripped down Reiklander warband,
closed AB and reopened it and had no trouble loading the roster.
However, when I added the gromril weapon, saved the roster and tried
to close, re-open and reload the warband, I got the above error
message.

Is this really the problem? If so, can it be fixed?

Thanks,
Bill Le Chat

Both Colen and I *JUST* got back into town less than 24 hours ago from
GenCon. Consequently, we have some catching up to do.

I just tried this quickly and it worked for me. However, there *IS* a
problem that was uncovered last week when saving rosters. If you include
single- or double-quote character in the roster name or notes, the saved
roster file will likely be unreadable. I've got this on the priority list
of things to fix, but that's going to be about a week before I get all the
other emergencies sorted out first. Please verify if this is the real
problem you are encountering.

Thanks, Rob

Hello,

The quotes seem to be the problem. My Reiklanders are Sharpe's
Chosen, and the apostrophe (single quote, whatever) is the real
problem. I wondered why a "close bracket" was placed at the end of
the unit names that had quotes in them. I'll just rebuild the
warband and avoid adding any single or double quotes until you've got
the patch done.

Thanks,
Bill Le Chat
