Points counting down instead of up?

[jago668]

Is it possible to make the points count down from whatever value instead of up to that value? Like instead of saying 704 of 1000. It would show 296 points remaining.

Closest thing we have is if you use the Roster> Change Roster Size, it will bring up a menu which allows you to choose pre-selected roster point sizes or you can choose your own value.

Once you do this, the roster will show the points used and your roster size choice (e.g., Space Wolves Roster - 1700 of 1750 points), and if you go over, it will show that in red and a validation note will note "Points limit exceeded"

Yeah I know that. I was asking for when you set the points to 1500, 2000, or whatever you happen to select it shows that you have X number of points left instead of showing how many points you have used. So rather than saying 1700 of 1750 and going red when you go over that. To use your number it would show 50 points remaining.

Evidently that isn't currently a feature by your answer. So if you could take it as a suggestion for some future work maybe.

That isn't a feature because the core application(Army Builder) doesn't support that functionality. This isn't a feature that a datafile provider should be developing as any solution we come up with would be a hack to the program. You may want to offer this as a feature request on the Army Builder forums at wolflair.com

Of course. I forget that this isn't the actual army builder forums. I only care about the 40k portion of army builder so I only ever came here for updates etc.
