VC bugs I have found

[darren71]

The error message you guys are getting is most likely because you haven't replaced all of the pertinent files. There are 3 I believe, the .DAT file and the main VC and the one that contains the main "Warhammer" file. If you download that "Fix" file again and drag and drop them all in and replace the existing files you should be fine. Worst case scenario is to Download WHFB 6-7 again and try to update from there in case you accidentally deleted something crucial.

Cool ,will give that a crack when i get home tomorrow

Re: Missing

As far as i could see i could not upgrade my Necromancers Magic Lvl. has this been fixed or is it still an issue?

The reason you can't upgrade your necromancer's magic level is because....you can't upgrade Necromancers' magic levels; it's not an option in the book.

Ugh!

I downloaded the wh6-7 update to repair my files since the new Dark Elves file that I accidentally put into the wrong place.

Now when I access my VC rosters to make update or change them, I ma having an issue, first of all it gives me an error message... of

Critical Information Not Found in Data Files: Rule Context 'doc subtype' , Link Lance, Link Shield, Link 'vcMagicAr3"

Which I understand if you download an update sometimes it makes older rosters unusable. But just wondering if this is the case here...


Now for the Real Problem as well. Vampire Lord- when given "Dread Knight" it should confer a 2+ save. But it only gives a 5+ at the moment.

Any assistance would rock!

Thanks,

16) Dread knight doesn't correctly reflect armor saves. It says the armor save is 5+, but it should be 2+. HA 5+, Shield 4+, Nightmare (mount) 3+, barding 2+.

it used to work just fine before my downloading frenzy took place. Now very little is actually right in the world of my Army Builder program.

There is no way to upgrade his level. The Army book clearly states that the number of spells he knows is not connected to his level. If you go to the magic section of his options, you may buy any of the spells you want there.

But he will always be a level 1 wizard.

My suggestion, rename the wh6 folder to wh6_old, then create a new wh6 folder. Donload the files again to the new (empty) wh6 folder. See if that helps.

Great work on the new VC list, Congrats to all involved.

Here is a WIP list of bugs I have found so far:

1) No Enchanted shield option for Vampire characters

vampires cant have shields, so they cant take the enchanted shield

2) Helm of commandment is not a bound item, currently counts it as one

thanks, will fix this

3) Wight King BSB with non magic banner is allowed magic items, currently list does not allow..

yes it does - he can take 50 pts of magic items. if he takes a magic banner, he cant take any items, but it doesnt specify what happens when he takes a non-magic banner

4) A Varghulf is called 'Squad' in the top line, when picked for list

5) Description of 'Banner of Barrows' in main page is wrong, it reads they hit on 3+ instead of getting +1 to hit..

6) Wight King BSB still has 4+ AS even with no shield..

thanks, will fix the rest of these :~)

corpse cart not counting as part of your core percentage

as i said in the subject line the corpse cart, while it doesnt count towards your minimal number of core units, it does count as core for your percentage of core troops.

and this and the Dogs dont show up there. if your giving a print out of the army to a tournament judge, if he just looks at the percentage AB gives he wont get the correct numbers for core.

 

[valistar]

"vampires cant have shields, so they cant take the enchanted shield "

What?

Cause My army book refers directly to Enchanted Shield, and it replacing a shield gained though Dread Knight, etc.

 

[hacksaaw]

another problem

several items are apparently tagged as bound spells when they are not, but do have a ongoing effect.

the iceni item that gives a vamp movement 9 is flagged. even though it is not bound( ie its not a spell you cast in the magic phase with a power level).

I found when trying to place the Armour of Night or to be honest any armour on a Vampire that has taken the Spectral Form vampire power(Ethereal ability) that it flags an error when in the army book it doesnt state that you can not.

thanks ahead of time for any resolution and if you guys could fix it that would so ROCK!

Thanks,

Thanks,

here is a quote from the army book "The Vampire is Ethereal. However, it may not join nonEthereal units. nor may it be mounted or take any magic items" so you cant give a vamp armour if you give it that ability unless you also give it avatar of death sorry

Hello folks.

I've just bought the AB and I find some difficulties with it.

I've downloaded the latest warhammer files (V2.5) but I still have all the bugs that should have been fixed when I read this topic. I've tried to download the lattest VC fixes and I've replaced the files in the wh6 directories but it doesn't work either...
For example, my wight lord still can't have a shield and a standard or the dread knight power doesn't give me any lance...

Is there something I've done wrong ? Could someone give me the link towards the very lattest files I have to download (just to be sure...) ?

And here are two bugs which (I think) have not been reported yet (I may have miss something) :

- Enchanted shield seems to cost 10 instead of 15 in my army book.

- Forbidden lore doesn't allow me to chose any other lore except the vampire one.

Thanx for your help.

vampires cant have shields, so they cant take the enchanted shield

Vampires definitely can take enchanted shields, we need this option enabled please (they can take shields when buying the avatar of death or dreadknight bloodline).

Cheers

Is it normal that also if I have got a unit of Ghouls and one of Dire Wolves, it complains about not enough core units ( I am running 500 point list)

[perno]

Dire wolves don't count against minimum core choices. So yes, this is normal...

No one to help me with my problem ? (see above)
