TDR unable to create monsters

Postby GrahamJet » Fri Sep 18, 2026 1:35 pm

I just discovered this site and the awesome tools for vehicle and Tyranid monster design rules. The VDR works fantastic and will be a great asset in bringing fairly recent models into 4th edition 40k. I was trying to do the same with the TDR, and was unable to create anything properly because whenever a warning prompt appears it is stuck on a prompt about "The shared weapon option is only available for large weapons." which seems to lock one of the weapon options to a venom cannon.

I haven't checked these for many years. I'll try to take a look at it over the weekend, probably some issue with Javascript and modern browsers as the TDR page was written over 20 years ago and I modified it back in 2008 to work with browsers at that time.

EDIT: found the issue, the javascript used a variable name "status" to hold a numeric value of the options selected and then bitwise compare it to constant numbers, but the "status" variable is forced to be a string by modern browsers (it used to work 18 years ago!) so causes the issue. I've renamed the variable to stat and that appears to have fixed it.

Enter the code exactly as it appears. All letters are case insensitive, there is no zero.
