You know, now that Battlescribe's data project has been shut down.

The new version coming in the next few days should make it easy for users to host and share data files:

I know I plan on completing the Space Marine catalog. Once finished I'll host it from my blog.

While I'm so broke I can't donate anything to you, I just wanted to thank you for making such a great and useful program that is available to everyone. I've been using it like crazy since I downloaded it (just before files had to be pulled) and it's been amazingly helpful. After almost 3 years of playing, it showed me that SM Terminators can take a Landraider as a dedicated transport. Been overlooking that this whole time
Anyway, on behalf of myself and my friends, thank you for all your hard work; especially in the face of recent events.

Incidentally, is there a way to change the list output so that I can get it in a two column format? When I'm running larger battles, it would be really nice if I could use more of each page when printing them out.

@Son of Dorn
Thanks! Glad it's proved useful for you It's testament to my nerd-stature that I love to program as much as I love toy soldiers

@Everyone
Just released a new version to help solve the data file problem. Now go forth and create data repositories! Share the love with your fellow gamer!

Once I recover the data from my other computer that recently went south, I'll have a restitory up.

The issue will be finding a reliable source for up to date files.

Just host it on dropbox.

Easy, and anonymous. All you need are 3 files.. one xml file and 2 zips hosted, in a folder which can be accessed and edited by multiple people who are working on the data project.

Then all the user to do is copy and paste a single link into battlescribe, click update and all the latest up-to-date files magically appear.

The only thing that needs to be specifically hosted on a website is a single URL.

The alternative is to make your own data files... very easily done, only takes about an hour, or even less time than that if you don't bother with transcribing the unit stats.

I may end up doing it. Tedious copying isn't new to me, I'm a CS major.

If you are interested, I am making a datafile project over on http://catalogue.randomhit.org/ A community site where we can work together to try and work on datafiles for battlescribe. It's a great tool, and working together we can do more good that apart. I worked on a few of the initial ones for my own use that were posted on the old data site, so just carrying it over for everyone's benefit.

now all we need is love for the elysians and bigdaddy is gonna be mighty happy O:-)

I was looking for a space wolf catalogue for a while now I can't seem to find one and I have tried my hand at making one I can never seem to get it right. Can anyone help me out?

As promised the complete Space Marines catalog is up on my blog (in the downloads section). This catalog contains all the stats and rules* that will be printed on the final roster.

*Rules are abridged and restricted to the Codex only.

(edit) If you find errors, please PM me here on Dakka. Thank you.

Can anyone tell me how to get access to someones files on dropbox?

They have to send you the direct link to the file, or they choose to share a specific folder with those whoms' email addresses are given to the host.
