On the pc it throws the error below:

*removed the error as it made the page look ugly

What link are you using for the data URL? It "just works" for me

@anfie: I download battlescribe from the website. I used my repository. I hit the Update button. I create a new roster with SW. I don't see any error.

I would recommend that you look in your battlescribe folder and make sure there are files in the gamesystems folder and the catalogues folder AFTER you ran battlescribe and let it updates from the repository.

Re the errors you're seeing, a couple of things to try.

1) Delete your data files and re-download from your repo (just in case one has been chewed up for some reason),

2) I think one or two v1.13.00b data files have made it into the wild... The new file format in this version cannot be opened by v1.12.xx and you'll get errors like that. On the desktop it should notify you that the data file is not compatible though.

v1.13.00 (with allies support) will hopefully be available sometime in the next few days - I'm just waiting for Apple to approve it for the Appstore...

I tried deleting the game files and catalogues a few times and it made the error go away but when I created a roster it was empty (no HQ, elite, troop options appeared).

I have switched back to just using the ones at randomhit.org. I will try it again when the new version comes out.

BS 1.3 released today. I have updated my repo to work with the new version.

I appear to be getting an issue with the list expecting two troops choices from both lists if I select an allied force.

Am abalone in this or is it user error?!

For windows? Can you post a link?

Yeah, it works on Windows, Android and iOS.

Sorry - I have 1.12 for windows, and was looking for an update. Further sleuthing has found it right in front of my eyes.

Thanks - H

The new version of balltscribe and the new lists from leohart both seem to be working together fine for me now.
Thanks everyone for the help.

@azreal13 I am not having that issue, it seems to only insist on 1 HQ and 1 troop.

Yeah I'm having issues where if I create a list with more than one detachment, it starts acting wonky:

- It still gives you an error that you need to select the minimum required HQ/Troops even after you have selected them. This can happen for one or both detachments
- The buttons to increment an option (such as the number of marines in a unit) will either not work at all, or will not display the proper number you have selected until you click on that line in the current selections window.
- This happens with most combinations of catalogs, but not all. From Leohart's depository for example, Necrons as a standard detachment and CSM as an allied detachment works fine as far as I can tell. If you swap them and make a list with Necrons as the allied detachment and CSM as the standard, you start getting some of the issues I described above.

If you run a single detachment, it seems to function fine with no issues.

Is it possible to make lists for Infinity using Battlescribe? I'm wondering since Infinity uses two limiting factors (you get a certain number of points and a certain number of SWC) and every unit has a bunch of different load-outs.

SWC?

EDIT: Okay, I downloaded the rules and had a quick look at how you build lists. It should be possible to create a BS system for Infinity, but you'll run into the issue where it doesn't really support a system of "sub-points" such as the SWC. You can have it calculate and display how many SWC are available to you, but if something costs more than 1 SWC, I don't think you would be able to have BS actually limit how many you can take.

The points for the Dark Apostle are incorrect. The Codex says 105, but these datafiles have him at 110.

Oh, okay. No worries, I think I can easily limit myself to stick within the limits I'll see if I can make battlescribe work for Infinity then...

I'm getting "Failed files: Warhammer 40,000 6th Edition (2012)" from @leohart's repo on the Android 1.13.00b version.

Edit: deleting an empty Flames of War system file (not from either repo I currently have installed) and a file length zero roster file sorted things out.

Thanks drewsus. It was very nice of you to report the error. I have fixed it in the latest revision. Thanks to people like you that we are all having a better and better catalogue file.

Sincerely.

@austinator: I am glad to hear that it works out for you. Thanks for doing the leg work.

Nevermind....

Using Battlescribe in Linux (ubuntu) and ran into a small issue.

making a tau list under standard rules and I selected a piece of special issue wargear for my HQ (Airburst Frag projector) along with a plasma rifle and shield generator. when attempting to save the list i get a warning that " suit only has 2 options do you still wish to save?"

seems like a minor bug but thought I would let you know.

@Mecha_buddha. I would recommend trying to contact the catalogue developer directly. If you got your catalogue from randomhit repo, go there and tell them about this bug. Someone will fix it.

I'm finding when I try to add an HQ choice to my allied detachment the app crashes completely.

Could this be caused by a catalogue error or is it a SW issue?

I no longer use the randomhit SW one since mine has better info and cleaner interface. I don't see any issue at all with using SW as an allied detachment. I would suggest update to the latest version of the app.

I really hope we have a button to wipe all catalogue andd gamesystems and do a full redownload. Until then, use your file browser app to delete everything under BattleScribe/catalogues and BattleScribe/gamesystems.

Sorry, by SW I meant software not Space Wolves! Also it is your catalogue I'm using now as the randomhit ones were causing me issues.

I have seen a reported case by a local gamer that if he adds any unit from the allied detachment, it will cause a crash of the app. The desktop version works fine. I think it must be the new format causing problem with Battlescribe. Can you try uninstalling battlescribe, wipe the battlescribe folder using an explorer (e.g. Astro File Manager on Android) and reinstall?

Ok, tried that, no luck unfortunately.

It's a BA list with an allied C:SM detachment. The error happens consistently when I try to add an HQ option to the BA section.

Warpath thread.

^ Yep, feel free to add my repo to your list everyone if you have any interest in KoW or Warpath.

I'm very serious and quick about updating the datafiles and managed to release Warpath 2.0 and all of its army lists within 36 hours of Mantic making them public.

The latest update was very well-timed, and I've already made full use of it.

I can't load the repo for 40k on my iPad. Here is the link ivevtried several times unsuccessfully to load:

http://www.randomhit.org/battlescribe_data/index40k.xml

Is that the right link? If yes what am I doing wrong?
