Cool, thanks for the heads up.

It still needs work. It's essentially the last version of 5th ed files with the Allies andFortifications. No way to set it for a second Detachment(that I see) and Wings for Hive Tyrants and Daemons MCs are still referring to "move as Jump Infantry" as opposed to Flying MCs.

Is that for the 3.x versions or the 2.x versions of the program?

3.x, good sir, AFAIK

3.x, the AB40K Maintainer guys don't do 2.x anymore as far as I know.

Aegis Defense Line is missing the options(Icarus, Quad-gun, etc.). Going to have to compile a list and e-mail them.

Huh, this one doesn't show up on their website at all. Thanks for the link.

Where can we find the file with the above fixes addressed? Where is its author posting it?

Third update since the flyers came out and still no entry for Stormtalon Gunship.

Por que Maria?

Since apparently I have to answer all of the questions since I posted it:
1. It is still listed as Warhammer 40k 5th edition. The links page hasn't had the title updated, but if you apply the file to AB, it comes up as it's own game system, it doesn't over write the 5th edition file.
2. I guarantee that the writers are well aware of the changes that still need to be made.

Please be patient. This isn't the same as updating the file for a single army. Universal rules have to be amended in every army file. They WILL get to everything. I think this update was mainly to show that they are indeed working at it. Also, keep in mind that the people writing the files aren't paid to do so. They do it out of the kindness of their hearts and their love of the hobby. If you don't like the manner or speed in which they do it, you are more than welcome to create your own data files.

Lastly, please don't kill me, I'm just the messenger.

This gave me a chuckle.

EDIT: There is a site that the file makers maintain for 40k, can't remember the url.

Also, the Supplement Files page: http://www.wolflair.com/rightframe.php?context=army_builder&page=supplemental_downloads will be updated with any new files. The key is to look at the date of the file, not the name(as this one was listed as 5th edition for some reason).

Not a lot of answers, but does give insight into bug report tickets already reported. Some of the issues are already being addressed for next update release, but as of now, I haven't seen anything in relation to the inclusion of the Storm Talon in the data files.

A rudimentary update, it would be nice if it was fully formed and all.

I haven't updated my AB in a while, so is anyone else pissed off that there is an ad in the middle of my program? I go to download an update to a program I pay a freakin yearly subscription to, and there is a fething ad? Seriously?

I do manual updates these days, but I don't remember there being ads during auto updates 2 years ago. Maybe I ignored it. Either way, it's stupid.

The ads should have been placed when non subscribers update thru the program. That would have made sense.

Interesting. Either way, your link in the OP worked like a charm! Thanks again!

1.01 with several fixes is now available. Storm Talon is in. Hull Points are in. Some missing allied relationships have been fixed.

To save people the hassle of looking it up.

Well, work continues apace over at ab40k.org

Here is another update - version 1.01:

http://www.ab40k.org/filebase.php?d=1&id=91

http://dl.dropbox.com/s/ewwn686y2kh2zqo/AB40K6v1_02.ab?dl=1

Version 1.2 was released today.

The notes state that it will be the last update for the general release of 6th edition. Future updates would only be bug fixes until a new codex is out.

Damn, they did the daemons for fantasy but not for 40k

No 40k daemons update makes me a very sad panda.

From what I said, this is the final GENERAL RULES release. Since Daemons got an update, the standard 30 days will likely apply before it can be updated.

Did they fix the Allied Detachment problem where they're still tracked as part of the primary detachment with regards to FoC slots?

For some befuddling reason I still have to go through two menus just to change what allies I want to look at. Why?

I saw something disturbing in the 1.2 update.

The message section that displays on the download screen says that this will be "the last update" and that there will be no more need to support AB due to there not being any more 40K updates.

WTF???!!!!
Has anyone else noticed this message?

Is this an artifact from the end of 5th ed updates or is AB no longer going to update their products that apply to GW games?


Sorry that I did not get a screen shot, but if this is as the message read, Then this is some big news.

Any enlightenment on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Interesting. It seems AB40K is shutting down.

I stand corrected. That's a shocker...

Though I'm sure someone else will pick up the work

From AB40K.org:

The latest file version is 1.02 will only be available for short time via the auto-update function within Army Builder. It will not be available for download from this site. It will not be available via email requests from any AB40K maintainer; do NOT bother to ask, it will not happen, you will not get it.

As you can imagine by the above statements, there will be no further updates to this project. There will be no further work done on the files, nor will there be any conversation here on this website on updating the files or help in understanding or helping to "fix" issues that remain in the files as of now, or anytime in the future. Indeed, I do not expect to see a website here much longer given this.

On behalf of both myself and the maintainers of the AB40K files, of the present and the past, I sincerely thank you for your support throughout the many years that this project has endured.

This file requires Army Builder 3.2d or higher, version 3.1 is no longer supported.

Please do not post any bug reports unless you are running the latest file and any applicable hotfixes. Also, the in program Warhammer 40K 5E FAQ (reached by Menubar under Help) is being regularly maintained and may answer some of your questions/problems.

Don't expect answers to your questions, let alone fixes or updates.

That site and those involved in it are closed as of today(site exists but the last update file was today). They are closing up shop.

I agree that someone will indeed pick up where they left off, especially since they wouldn't need to write an all new data file for the system.

BTW, UltraPrime, thank you for all the work you do on WFB.

btw Mark of Tzeentch with 4+ ward armor and a shield still comes up in the ward window as only a 6+ for the parry save instead of the 3+ that it would get all the time.

This is all very worrying. So far, I have not been contacted, so I'm carrying on as usual for now. And that Ward issue is a huge bugbear! I think I've sorted it, then it causes another Ward rule to misbehave. I'm secretly hoping the Mark of Tzeentch changes in the next WoC book...

Sadly I don't know squat about data file coding.

Is there not a way to make parry save wards lose priority over other wards?

Perhaps if it can't be fixed then relegate the parry save to unit notes and remove it from the stat line?
It is quite wierd that the MoT and shield work fine with the armor by themselves, but when combined it freaks out.
