BattleScribe 1.05b Released!

Just a bunch of bug fixes and little tweeks in this one. I have plans afoot for some bigger changes coming up which I'll write a post about in the near future. Included in this release:

• Improved layout of profiles when printing/viewing a roster to save on space
• Catalogue level rules are now shown in their own section when printing/viewing a roster
• The decimal point portion of all points values is now only displayed if there is actually something after the decimal point
• Fixed bug where you couldn't change the name and points limit of a roster after you created it
• Fixed bug where you couldn't remove catalogue level rules in Catalogue Editor
• Fixed problems around creating new categories in Game System Editor
• Fixed bug in dependency logic that incorrectly reported some errors for "Must include x if you have selected y" dependencies

BattleScribe 1.04b Released!

A small set of changes in this release, but one of the highest voted requests on UserVoice has finally been addressed: printing. This one turned out to be much easier than expected after I stumbled upon a quick solution. There have also been a few usability improvements and changes to better support more game systems.

• Printing directly from Roster Editor now supported.
• Points values throughout can now have decimal places/fractions to support armies where points aren't whole numbers. For example Skaven clanrats have some options that cost 0.5pts.
• Roster Editor now remembers which folder was last saved to/loaded from and displays this when you next save/load a roster.
• You can now manually enter an entry/entry group id when creating a dependency in Catalogue Editor, so a dependency can now depend on any entry/entry group in the catalogue.
• All BattleScribe programs now save their files as formatted XML to aid reading/manual editing and to allow SVN to merge changes line by line.
• Improvements to the View Roster dialogue.
• Uninstaller now correctly removes start menu shortcuts under Windows Vista and Windows 7. (Note: You may need to manually remove the old BattleScribe start menu shortcuts after you upgrade to 1.04b under Windows Vista or Windows 7)

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.
