Hey .. looks good so far

I'm trying to make a tomb kings army. I created the list, then I went to list overview and clicked edit. There\'s no units listed. I see the drop down box for heroes, core, etc... but there's nothing to select. If I click the add unit button, nothing happens. Am I missing something? Or do you guys still just have to add the data files for it? How do I add units?

I'm using a mac with safari. I tried using firefox too. I thought maybe there was a layer I didn't see or something like that.

Also one other little nitpicky thing I noticed, when I registered.. I entered the city wrong and I got the error screen telling me so... but then it deleted everything I entered and I had to type it all over again. Kinda annoying so maybe you can change that to be a javascript popup / alert or something like that.. or if it has to reload the screen maybe make it remember everything else that you entered.

Lastly, I wasn't able to post this on your message board I got this error:

- The thread name must be at least 4 characters and may contain the following : _ , . , ' , - , ! , and commas.


I think I had more than 4 characters

hmmmm that is rather interesting... I think can answer your questions...

The first is: yes we still have to enter the rest of the data, only the 3 armies that are listed on the site work at the moment.

The registration form SHOULD refil the detail and its probably an error due to me changing some variable names a while ago - I will look into it and fix it!

The last problem baffles me as others seem to be able to post on the forums... try again perhaps?

Benny

Yeah I tried again with Empire and it seems to work now

The printable version doesn't work but I saw that on the boards... when it does work, will you have items and rules on there, the way army builder does it? one thing I like about AB is your list is also a cheat sheet with weapon stats and everything else ... or is that what you meant when you said you need the army book to use army roster?

Yeah you techinically cannot make a legal list with Army Roster unless you have the army book... you can certainly use it, but you have no way of verifying whether your list is legal or not

and yes the printable version will have unit rules, and equipment on there.

I just made my first list with ArmyRoster. Works well, he's right that unless you have your army book memorized you need your book. It takes longer to make a list than using Army Builder but it's free and faster than doing it by hand.

Plus it's online so I can do it at work....

4.5 stars out of 5!

Ozymandias, King of Kings

Thanks Ozymandias! Yeah I was kinda shooting for a medium between the two... eventually when the community gets going another benefit will be the "add your army list to a thread" feature which is working now by the by, but not many army lists online at the moment!

Thanks again for the 4.5

Benny

Well, the .5 was for it being just a bit "click heavy". Overall, that's minor, but that's why its a .5 off rather than a 1 off... :p

Now I can't wait for the 40k part to start up.

Ozymandias, King of Kings

haha Im not concerned with the .5 at all. So far AR seems to have been accepted rather well... Im glad.

Lots of good users already reporting bugs and such

Any word when all of the armies will be complete? I see that Wood Elves are missing all of the upgrades and stuff.

Ozymandias, King of Kings

Yeah a lot of the armies have the units plugged in but not the options...

you see the way my Back-End is setup each unit option is linked to a bunch of other "Options" tables. Essentially I have to enter a couple hundred records just for one army . To answer your question: ALL of the armies will be working by next weekend. they would be done a lot sooner if I did not have a life hehe

Benny

Looks good so far but:

1) Detachments (Empire, obviously). I can't see how to add them

2) I created a Hand Gunner Unit, selected a Marksman and gave him a Hochland Long Rifle. So far so good. Clicked on the unit name in the army summary page, and then clicked on "Complete Edit" - the Marksman lost his special weapon (it doesn't appear on the edit screen).

3) I run my monitor in 1024x768 and I am stuck with a horizontal scroll bar. Eww

Viperion

Eeek I really anticipate everyone to at least run there resolutions bigger than that. detachments will be added soon, I will look into the marksman thing

fixed the hand gunner bud

Great work on the quick fix

I know of people (neanderthals that they are lol) that still run in 800x600 so you may need to look into it.

As a former programmer (not in Java though) I appreciate all the hard work it's going to be to make detachments work - they really do format weirdly compared to everything else in the WH world

Looking good!

Edit: Also taking a Warrior Priest doesn't allow you to take a unit of Flagellents as core - although this isn't a huge problem, it means you could have a legal list that your program thinks is one core unit too few and one rare unit too many. I'm assuming this is the kind of thing you won't even look at fixing though - it kinda comes under the "army book" thing, but it would be nice since the program is tracking how many of each type of unit (core, special, rare) you have in the list. Even if you have a checkmark in the Flagellant screen to say "Take as core (only if you have Warrior Priest)" that would suffice.

I will stick a flagellant option on there as core as well as rare

i'm pretty excited about the site. i LOVED The Great Unclean One, so i'm looking forward to being able to make lists on the fly and access them from anywhere.

i registered with the username: bbb, but it doesn't seem to let me log in yet even though i clicked the link in the email. is there a delay or another glitch?

in the database Im seeing you as activated lol... try to login again!

tried a few times. every time i try to log in i get the following error: Please enter a valid username

Problem sorted! Little error in the RegEx stuff requiring 4 letters instead of 3 for the minimum should be working good now!

WOO!!! i help fix a bug!

Yes you did! very important bug too. Hope you like the site!

*BUMP* Lots of new updates guys! Check it out!

Hey, I registered and made a High Elf list.

The High Elves have different values for their Core Special and Rare, so you might
want to look into that.

Is this for 40k or just fantasy?

No fluid width for 1024x768 in FF or IE7+? No scalability for 800x600 I can understand, but cutting off 1024 is a bit rash isn't it?

mercer wrote:Is this for 40k or just fantasy?

So far just Fantasy.

When they get 40k up and rolling I will be all over this like white-on-rice.

Incredibly good site. Keep up the good work. As a Mac user, this is the alternative I have been waiting for.

i like it, now i dont need to buy codice for armies i think i might collect...

Oh give it up. You want the books anyway.
