Maybe you could add the vanilla UCS ranges to the list, for future reference?

 

Engine: 300 - 34536

W40k: 35000 - 503527

DXP2: 550000 - 4900740

DXP2_VO: 5000100 - 5500000

They'll work fine. The difference with the Steam versions is that they have had the old Gamespy multiplayer stuff ripped out and replaced with Steamworks. They also disabled LAN play as well, which is annoying as hell. No other changes that I'm aware of - nothing that will affect mods anyway.

AFAIK you can only use Scar to assign hotkeys to SGroups (i.e. squads) and EGroups (i.e. buildings), but not abilities.

Skirmish uses WTP textures, but campaign uses RTX and (sometimes) RSH textures. Different sets of texture files. That's why they look fine in one game mode but not the other.

I feel this is an appropriate place for this link: https://www.moddb.co...-mission-editor

You're missing the required "_default.fda" and "_default.rat" files. Look at other speech folders to see what I mean. Just copy and paste these files over into yours.

Is there anyway to make the mad dok replace his slugga for a power klaw without touching modeling tools such as editing its hardpoints (already tried)?

 

Pretty sure there's not. Unless the mad dok has a power klaw in its model file already, which I very much doubt (although even if it did, it would probably be used as a replacement/alternative for its choppa rather than its slugga).

I very much agree with Gambit on this one. I am involved with DoW modding first and foremost for my own satisfaction (I don't use the word "enjoyment" as far too often that is very much not the case ), and the idea of doing this for any kind of material reward would just sour the whole thing for me. In any case, between RL stuff and my ongoing work on the Strongholds mod I wouldn't have any time for what you're talking about. Best of luck with your endeavours though.

The Dawn of Skirmish AI will always return an error if any of the players in a game are set to "npc_race". You can fix this by changing them to something else, like "space_marine_race".

 

EDIT: At least, this is the case for the Soulstorm version. I can't say for definite if this is also the case in vanilla DoW.

For vanilla Dawn of War you'll need to edit data/scenarios/sp/dawnofwar.camp so that the line ModName = "W40k" is changed to whatever your mod is called (i.e. the name of your .module file). You will also need to copy the Movies folder from W40k into your mod's folder.

 

Some elements of the WA campaign (specifically the frontend menus and the mission loading screens) are hardcoded to only work properly when using the WXP "mod" (i.e. the unmodded game), so editing data/scenarios/sp/wxp_disorder.camp and data/scenarios/sp/wxp_order.camp to change ModName = "WXP" to your mod might not work 100% for these elements. You'll also need to copy the Movies folder from WXP into your mod folder.

If the tech progression is tied to their opponents' race(s), would this not mean that the Alien Hunters would potentially become more powerful in an 8-player FFA compared to a 1v1, as they would have a wider variety of researches available, especially if every player chose a different race?

 

Also, how will this system work if your opponent is a human faction (Imperial or Chaos)?

BUT the old Renegade Guard and especially the old Space Wolves projects, cause severe issues when combined with other mods...

Is there any chance of releasing our current RG and SW... SOONish??

From what I've seen, BOTH are ready for the players.

 

I thought Renegade Guard was released onto ModDB a couple of weeks ago? http://www.moddb.com...3-for-soulstorm

There's also two more types of textures: WTP and RTX.

 

WTP are uncompressed, multi-layered textures that allow team-colouring for use in skirmish/multiplayer.

 

RTX are compressed, single-layered textures (basically a compiled version of a WTP with a specific colour scheme) that can be assigned to a player in a game via SCAR, or are used in skirmish/multiplayer when team-colouring is turned off.

Brother Kekoulis, do you have time to see the Valkyrie model?

If no, I will create an ability, but this is quite time-consuming

So, in case it is a "simple" model fix (the textures may be responsible, I will check.)... I would go with that!

 

I've tried a texture replacement on the Valkyrie, but it doesn't seem to help. The problem is definitely with the animations "flyby_left", "flyby_center" and "flyby_right".

Never really used replays before, so I couldn't say for sure.

 

I suppose you could try adding it to a key binding in autoexec.lua and seeing what happens.
