You know this is not an weapon coding related question,right?

Would you prefer I created a new thread for each question?

 

 

 

Anyways,need to ask,in what path did you install the Mod Tools?

E:\Games\THQ\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\ModTools

 

 

In addition,never replace the ''My_Mod'' with your mod name.

MAX goes bonkers if you do that for some reason.Blame Relic.

Well the pipeline.ini says to change it. I changed it back to My_Mod and it gives the same error.

 

I forgot to mention that when I start max I get an error that says      autodesk\3dsMax8\plugins\W40KExporter9.dle> failed to initialize

My 3dsmax plugins folder has W40KExporter6.dle and W40KExporter9.dle

Do I need both or just W40KExporter6.dle ?

Now you are talking sense!

 

You have outdated plugins!

 

Please,have a look here.

And yes,for such important questions,you make a new thread.

I stumbled across by accident on your post and there are not many of 3D modders in DOW,let alone here.

Not the updated ones for the MAX 2008 you have.

 

Download the ones I provided for MAX 2008 and install them anew.

 

The error you have means you use outdated versions.

I installed the one labeled UPDATED MAX EXPORTER FOR BOTH 3DS MAX 9 AND 2008: and it still says autodesk\3dsMax8\plugins\W40KExporter9.dle> failed to initialize. Error code: 127 - The specified procedure could not be found.

[Kekoulis]

Wait,wait.

YOU SAID YOU HAD MAX 2008.

 

Now you say you have MAX 8?

 

These are completely different versions of MAX!

 

Use the MAX 8 plugin then,or get your hands on MAX 2008,as it is the most stable of all supported versions.If you can't on your own,we can help you.

[Moreartillery]

I thought max 8 was an abbreviation of 2008. I can't find an active download for max 2008, most websites aren't even ten years old.

 

Ok I have max 2008 now. The plugin error is gone but when I try to export it says can't burn the ebp file.

What does aftermath effect do?

I don't weather or not you found the answer elsewhere but its used for victory poses, see here:

That sounds cool!

[Moreartillery]

How do I add new icons and descriptions for honor guard units to the campaign map? I already know about the .ter files.

[Moreartillery]

I've just discovered that modifiers\health_rangedamage_received_1_modifier.lua doesn't do anything, I gave the chaplain an ability that multiplies damage received by 0.2 and he still took exactly 200 damage from each rocket fired at him. When I added health regen to the ability it worked so it must be the health_rangedamage_received_1_modifier

 

I already knew that health_rangedamage_received_2_modifier didnt work but finding that health_rangedamage_received_1_modifier doesn't work is quite shocking since its such a common effect. Now I have to test melee damage reduction too. It really makes me wonder other abilitys don't work as they should.

[Gambit]

Ahem... Brother Moreartillery, the health_rangedamage_received_1_modifier works perfectly to me, and in fact it is the one the game uses consstently...

As an additional check, have a look for the UI blue shield icon, below the squad's icon, as well as the blue shield near the entity's health, in-game.

If they are there, the damage reduction is in effect.

The blue shield is there when the ability is active, but the damage received is the same weather or not I activate the ability. I've been testing this in a save game were there is only one enemy to shoot at the test subject.

Can you try again, with a non-projectile ranged weapon?

The idea is that even projectile weapons are affected, but this may be a limitation we do not know about.

 

For example, use regular bolters, against the unit.

Does min damage value ignore damage reduction modifiers?

I really do not know,... Can you experiment a bit ???

It would be good for all of us to know this!

As I feared, min damage value does indeed ignore health_rangedamage_received_1_modifier. Now I have to modify the armor piercing table on every weapon instead of putting one number in min damage value, thats very inconvenient.  I now have several hundred weapons that need to be updated.

Several hundreds of weapons??????

Why not using a Macro?

How do I run a macro in corsix?

[Gambit]

Right-Click on any attrib sub-folder in Corsix Studio, and select [Run Macro Over...]

You will need a macro though.

If you need help, I can try to.
