Topic: Army Customizer Updated

The excel macro for the army customizer has been updated, and now gives an output that mimics the format of the army lists in D:VG.  PM me if you want the newest file, which is still beta-ish.

Hi Demian,

Just had a look at the beta varient, and the only glaring error, is a complete lack of HTH die on the infantry frame designer.

When you click the arrow nothing comes up?

Cheers

Fixed.  The drop down boxes were based on a list of numbers that, unfortunately, got truncated when I revamped the worksheet.  Should work now, I hope! 

I also fixed the same issue with the Covert Ops box.

Re: Army Customizer Updated

Sorry mate :cry:

Found another infantry frame problem :roll:

I have selected power armour of up to -3 armour, but the sheet, will only let me have 0 armour, it will not let me have a legal size 2, move 5, armour -1 frame that I wish to use for my marines :wink:

According to the customiser this is legal, the sheet won`t let me have armour -1 even with a move of 3.

Cheers

Re: Army Customizer Updated

I think the old version might have had that problem too. I'll have to shake it and see what rattles tonight.

Re: Army Customizer Updated

I was trying to mimic the Assault Trooper from the Human Confederacy army list and it told me the combination of move, type, AR and size was not allowed...

One thing that should make things simpler is that, in the updated rules (currently two-thirds finished), tables 2.1-2.3 of the Army Customizer will allow for SI or PI, i.e. 2.1 is no longer for SI only and 2.2 is no longer for PI only.

One other quick thing: the current remplate only allows for one officer to be entered...maybe a second cell for "officer type 2" would be the easiest solution?

AFV's all seem to end up with a "# of passengers".

Re: Army Customizer Updated

I didn't get that, but my version gives vehicle damage points away at any number (up to 8 as more can't be taken) for the price of 1. SDCs are calculated per point of as is correct, tho.

My brain sorta did a reset when I noticed this, but I seem to recall faintly that the Infantry hero cost, once selected, always appears regardless of being chosen or not.

Fixed!  Believe it or not, after days and days of frustration over why this wasn't working, it came down to a difference between a "–" and "-".  Something as small as that...

Fixed!  You can now select two officer types for an infantry frame.

Tried it out and it works now.

AFV's all seem to end up with a "# of passengers".

There again, when I truncated the design sheets, one of the numbers that was feeding the data-validation list dropped off into nowhere.  Should be okay now, but let me know if it isn't working right.

my version gives vehicle damage points away at any number (up to 8 as more can't be taken) for the price of 1.

Figured out where that ball was being dropped.  AFV's should calculate up properly, now.

The updated spreadsheet (with Demian's updated tables for Defiance CQB) has been sent to Demian, so he can distribute it as he sees fit.

I humbly request that he see fit to send me a copy.

Re: Army Customizer Updated

Hi

i found 2 obvious errors when I first played around.

1 The vehicle can only have a 10+ field save no matter what the army limit is. The source line in the validate popup needs amending... I will work it out and post it, this week.

The other is more erious and I cannot see how to reverse engineer to fix... when you pick a weapon range-set from the table then if the first bracketing and type are the same then the points are the same. EG: HW -/-/30/60/- is the same points as HW -/-/UL/-/-
