Overview

What's this?

BSData organisation created this project. It's GitHub repository of datafiles for Gates Of Antares, made by Warlord Games. Maintained by community, in no way endorsed by BattleScribe. If you want to develop - cool! We need you! Take a look at Getting Started wiki

Okay, nice project. Is it actually working? I just want those files...

Yeah! We have it hosted on AppSpot. Take a look: BattleScribe Data on Appspot

gates-of-antares's Issues

Duplicate Units for Boromites Doubles Equipment Costs

Taken from the Facebook Group:

Looking for some help with the boromite lists.
When taking duplicate units the cost of some items like reflex armour doubles for all units.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

BattleScribe 2.0

Hi guys.

BattleScribe 2.0 is coming and it contains some major changes to Data Editor and the data format.

While it should happily upgrade 1.15.x format data files to the new format, you never know what sneaky bugs might be lurking...

It would help a lot if you could run your data through it and make sure nothing gets broken so we have no nasty surprises on release day (whenever that might be...).

"Too many selections" errors with BattleScribe v2

I've just installed the new BattleScribe (v2.00.13 on Android) and I'm trying to create a Freeborn force (Freeborn v6 and Gates of Antares v9 datafiles). I get the following roster errors when I've added a Domari Squad:

5x Household Trooper has 4 too many selections from Ranged Weapon (maximum 1)
Domari Squad (Household Troops) has 1 too many selections from < Unit Armor > (maximum 1)
Domari Squad (Household Troops) has 1 too many selections of Reflex Armor (Eq) (maximum 1 each)

Domari Squad/Household Trooper/Ranged Weapon has min/max 1 Selections in Parent. Can't we just delete those constraints to get rid of the first problem?

Domari Squad contains two "entries", Household Leader and Household Trooper. I guess that's why it complains about too many armours. I tried changing the constraint to max/min 2 Selections in Parent, but that didn't help. Maybe I don't quite understand how constraints work.

Create Release

Does everyone have their changes in the master branch? If so, I'll create a release for the files.

Boromite Lavamite Unit Issues

There are a couple of issues with the Lavamites

  1. Rock Brood upgrade can only be applied to all lavamites
  2. It would be nice if there was a weapon stat line for the lavamites in the roster
  3. That stat line should handle the rock brood upgrade correctly

Isorians?

Is anyone working on the Isorians? If not, then I'll go ahead and start.

C3 v10: No minimum strength Plasma lance squads

I discovered that the only way to have a minimum size Strike Squad and Drop Squad with plasma lance is to reduce the regular troopers by one, and add a Plasma Lance trooper. This generates an error, as you have too few regulars, according to Battle Scribe.

Is this limitation intentional? I see nothing supporting it in the army list.

Added 2 updated files and 1 new one

Page 83 BfX book allows loads of squads to get Sync drones. Added them on to Boromite and Algoryn. Also put up Rebel Ghar :)
See my pull request for details.
If it gets done, then i will work on Boromite Clan, Freeboes, and Concord, and add the new one to Ghar :)

Concord Interceptors

Concord can select a single basic Interceptor squad but need an Interceptor Command squad if they want more than one basic squad. At the moment, you can't select this single squad...you currently have to select the Command before you can unlock any basic squads.

Development branch?

Do we really need a development branch? If we're doing pull requests into master, I don't see a need for it.

Thoughts?

Clean Up Branches

If you have a branch out there that has already been merged into development, please delete it.

PSA: Constraints with "roster" scope on shared items - the "shared?" checkbox

Constraint, condition and repeat elements (queries) on shared elements have a mysterious "shared?" checkbox.

Short Answer: Check the "shared" box for big performance improvements! Version 2.00.05 checks the "shared" box by default.

Why?

If this checkbox is checked, the query works in a global way - like it did in 1.15.x. This means that all selections of the shared entry are counted towards the query, no matter the parent - i.e. all links to the entry count.

If left unchecked, the query works on a per entry basis, like a normal entry. This means only selections of this instance of the entry are counted towards the query, and the parent matters - i.e. only links to this entry on a particular parent entry count.

Consider:

|- Shared Selection Entries
  |- S
    |- Constraint: Max 1 in Roster

|- Selection Entries
  |- A
    |- Link to S
  |- B
    |- Link to S
  1. The user selects one of both A and B in their roster, and selects S for both of them.

    • If the constraint has "shared" checked, this will give an error. The constraint is "max 1 S in roster". The user has selected two of S, which violates the constraint.

    • If the constraint does not have "shared" checked, no error will be given. The constraints are "max 1 A->S in roster" and "max 1 B->S in roster". The user has selected one of A->S and one of B->S, which does not violate the constraint.

  2. The user selects two of A in their roster and selects S for both of them.

    • If the constraint has "shared" checked, this will give an error, like before. The constraint is "max 1 S in roster". The user has selected two of S, which violates the constraint.

    • If the constraint does not have "shared" checked, an error will still be given. The constraints are "max 1 A->S in roster" and "max 1 B->S in roster". The user has selected two of A->S, which violates the constraint.


This gives greater power over how you want a query to work. But great power = great responsibility blah blah.

Leaving the "shared" box unchecked means that the app must check the condition multiple times (for each parent) when validating for error messages. Each linked copy of the shared item must be checked.

Checking the "shared" box is much much faster, as the app only needs to check once, globally, that the condition is met/broken.

So check the box unless you have a good reason not to.

Version 2.00.05 (desktop) now checks this box by default.

Platform: Windows

Dropbox: No

Description: The army set up is a mess here for Gates of Antares.

For example I selected a Ghar Skirmish force which should be 750 points. This has put it to 500 points. It then says I need a minimum of 4 tactical units, in the book it says I need 2-4. Its taken the maximum from the book and then made it the minimum in battlescribe.

The options all seem ok along with the descriptions that I can see but the basis of making the lists seem to be incorrect.

Cheers, Keep up the good work.

I would like to be able to help work with the data files.

Access Removed?

So after a long time away, I've started to update the files to the V1 points. I've completed the Isorian file and went to push it back into the group, but I'm getting a 403 error.

Has my access been removed? And if so, can I get it added back?

Thanks.

Adding extra troops to the units alternative

Seen that the cost is being split between troop in units so came up with a alternative. Rather than doing that try this method it keeps everything neat and works perfectly. Really this means that you dont need to split any cost just make the baser cost on the unit selection and modify it.

Rebel Ghar Force

Made this one in the last few hours, seems to work, not sure if there are any errors, and kinda need to fill out a load of rules what are linked up.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2WSzVPkudYKWHNHbDk3LXl5STA

Could also use a bit of tidying up probably. Was my first go at it.

Only 2 probs i know of are that of course it doesn't know the force organisation chart thing for how many tacts and stuff it needs. Also it doesn't know how to deal with what are limited choices. Though all Limited choices I think I put a flag on for the "Limited" rule and also made the Leader of each of the units a "Limited" rather than just a "Model"

Ready for Release?

I think it's time to do a big release for the data files. There has been a lot of work on the files lately.

Thoughts?

[Join Request]

I've been updated the Gates of Antares datafiles extensively for my own use, and I'd like to be able to upload them for public use.

Freeborn Update

It seems that all we need to update now is the Freeborn. Does anyone want to tackle that?

Shared profile errors

Hi!
I'm using the Catalogue Editor, and I keep getting "Characteristic must match a characteristic from the profile type", for what seems to be everything having a Shared Profile.

Do I need to set something up in my CEditor? Has anyone seen this fault before?
It does not appear with the Algs, probably due to lack of shared profiles.

Internal: Add army options

Army options should be selectable, should we add it per force, or is it possible to add in the game file?
