Help with Battlescribe

[Booley]

I don't think I can do that on my iPhone, but I'll definitely try on my pc later! Thanks man

Do you have battlescribe connected to dropbox? If you do, once you've gone through the steps above for PC you can copy your data files over to dropbox and it should update, or at least it did for me on android.

I don't think so, but I'll check that out later. Thanks! Edited December 13, 2017 by Brother Lemartes

Okay then some points might be wrong. I only checked the Predator and its base cost is 90p but schould be 102p acording to our codex.

Shows at 102 to me. Check that you're not on v26, that one had a bunch of assumed updates from Chapter Approved, and then the predator went back up with the codex.

I'm still at v26 after  updating- can somebody explain how I can point it at the new datafile manually?

Right click/save as this link, I don't think it matters where you put it: https://github.com/BSData/wh40k/raw/master/Imperium%20-%20Blood%20Angels.cat

In battlescribe go File/Data Repositories: http://prntscr.com/hn1yuo

Click "Import Data From File": http://prntscr.com/hn1z3q

Select the "Imperium - Blood Angels.cat" file that you just downloaded and click "Open"

 

That should update it.

 

It keeps telling me the Data file is too old and is no longer supported. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I either just broke battlescribe on my phone trying to figure this out or it's down for everyone...

Server seems to be down, yeah.

[Damon Nightman]

Lol good, well not good...

You're saying you broke the battlescribe servers?

[Damon Nightman]

Um....

[Pendent]

Um....

[Damon Nightman]

I was sooo close too... I downloaded drop box and saved the file to it. The errors came after syncing battlescribe to drop box. I panicked and deleted battlescribe from my phone lol

[Vulkan81]

Better off using the codex rather than battlescribe?

[Damon Nightman]

I just like list building when I'm bored at work or anywhere really... but yeah I'll probably do that when I'm home with the book

[Pendent]

I spend a lot of downtime playing with lists on my phone as well. It will be really nice once that's an option for me again.

Thanks !!

I was missing that right click "save as" bit  - duh =)

Thanks for the step by step

 

v28 working fine on PC

[tedzilla]

Thank you! I have been going crazy waiting on my data files to update.

How long does it take for battlescribe to automatically update? Is it like a once a week thing? Haven't been able to manually add it in my phone yet.

[tkni]

It's a question of when the catalogue files (linked via github, above) make it through to the appspot site that handles the automatic updates.

 

As the anonymous issue submission has been down for a week or so, I suspect the other parts of the site might not be working properly either.

 

They've made a right mess of most sergeants in the current version, fwiw, and all the primaris bar aggressors are also quite broken.

[Panzer]

The app checks for updates weekly and on startup if you left the setting as default (otherwise you'd have to check for yourself). However as long as the server doesn't say there's a newer version battlescribe won't download it automatically even if there is one.

What annoys me most is that there are such huge differences between armies and even between units in the same army of how they get handled. Sometimes you have to click every single model seperately to give it a specific loadout, sometimes you can do it via the unit menue, sometimes it's even another different way to do it etc. etc.

Thanks Tkni! Appreciate the info! That doesn't sound good though... Edited December 15, 2017 by Brother Lemartes

[NTaW]

The differences between formatting one army roster to the next comes down to people being able to enter data in a variety of ways to get more or less the same functionality. When I was mucking around with BS1 doing the Angel's Blade update for forum members there was a surprising variety of ways to get basically the same thing. It's hours of work to get it right and sometimes if it works having to add doods differently from one unit to the next it's not really worth dealing with. Sometimes it's also about how weapon options need to be handled. Edited December 16, 2017 by NTaW

Yeah I know that. One of the reasons why I'm looking forward to GWs official app. ^^
