Warhammer Fantasy Game System File Released

So finally we have a game system file for Warhammer Fantasy! Available to download over at data.battlescribe.net.

Disclaimer: I don't actually own a copy of Warhammer or even play it, so I have inferred the details from around the internet and from a friend's Skaven army book. Please let me know over at the UserVoice page if there are any problems, or even better, fix up the file and send it over to me at feedback@battlescribe.net.

BattleScribe 1.03b Released!

So a (fairly) quick turnaround for this one, mostly small improvements and extra features to help support Warhammer Fantasy and Warmachine.

  • Game system categories may now have percentage based minimum/maximum points values in order to support Warhammer Fantasy 8th edition (and others).
  • Entries may now have negative points costs in order to support Warmachine (where some choices give you points credit).
  • Rules may now be added to the catalogue root (rather than just entries) allowing for army-wide rules to be added.
  • Readability of the selections tree in Roster Editor has been improved with editable selections now displayed in bold, and the roster/category titles now larger text.
  • Positions of the various panels in Roster Editor and Catalogue Editor are now remembered between running the programs.
  • The various panels now have better resizing behaviour when resizing the main Roster Editor and Catalogue Editor windows.
  • Bug fixes around how some errors are reported (particularly minimum/maximum selections from collective entries and entry groups).
  • Various other minor fixes.
NOTE: The BattleScribe setup program now installs to "Program Files\BattleScribe" rather than "Program Files\BattleScribe <version>". You may want to copy your existing catalogue and game system files into this new folder before running BattleScribe.

What's Your Favourite Warhammer Army?

With version BattleScribe 1.03b coming soon and including better support for Warhammer Fantasy, I'm interested to know what the most popular armies are. The BattleScribe Data Project team can then prioritize which catalogues to work on first and get the most people covered the fastest.

Leave your comments on the BattleScribe home page, and thanks for your feedback!

Website Update

I've and added a few social networking features to the website using Google Friend Connect. It allows you to sign in and post comments on the home page or write reviews on the feedback page. I thought it might be useful to allow users to chat with one another to get help or just to discuss whatever elements of BattleScribe they fancy. You won't need to sign up for a new account if you have an existing Google, Yahoo, Twitter, AIM or OpenID account - you can sign in using one of these.

There are also other useful Friend Connect gadgets I might experiment with in the future, such as a poll to get community feedback.

If these features prove useful, I might create a separate page on the site just for community stuff. Feel free to let me know what you think - post a comment!
