=== DESCRIPTION ===
This is Annihilation Mod v1.7 for Dawn of War: Dark Crusade. Took alot of time to finish it finally. It was created to bring more content into the game, and to make game more replayable. Adds most of custom content currently available for community use.
After this release, we will focus on adjusting SoulStorm to be a game it was ment to be.

=== INSTALLATION ===
Open the .zip archive and then just run the "Annihilation_Mod_1.7.exe", select your Dark Crusade location and hit Install button. Go in Game Manager, select Annihilation and have fun.

=== UNINSTALLATION ===
Just delete the "Annihilation_Mod" folder, "Annhilation_1" and "Annihilation_2" modules, "WXPMod_DCMod" file.

=== NEW CONTENT ===
Mod contains custom models, units, FX, researches, weapons etc. Some units have been replaced by their codex versions.
Wargear Mod integrated and fully working, heavily modified and upgraded.
Advanced Build Menu present.
Old Force Commander and Nob voices restored.

=== BALANCE ===
With the advices of my beta testers, the mod has been balanced as much as possible. Some of the most strict changes have been reworked, so that the mod doesn't seem too hard for newer players. I'm quite sure that it will bring some challenge for more experienced players.

=== ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) ===
The AI was initially, but very weakly created by me. But then, I turned for help to our beloved Thudmeizer. Thudmeizer and his team did immense work on DoW's AI. Annihilation AI is based on Dawn of Skirmish AI. New AI fully uses the new units. Get ready for some wicked AI challenge. Players can easily adjust the AI to their likings through the AI Control Panel in "ai" folder.

=== CUSTOM SCRIPTS ===
The mod contains CutterShane's Heroes Mod. All of the new units have been integrated into Heroes Mod, so they WILL gain experience.

=== KNOWN BUGS, GLITCHES... ===
Most pressing glitch at the moment is, that the mod sometimes isn't recognized by Dark Crusade's Game Manager. For that i've included 2 module files, each pointing to different DLL. In Game Manager you should see 2 Annihilations, if you do, don't be confused, they both point to one mod.
The other bug is, that in Necron Advanced Build Menu is stationed a building, which icon is Eldar's Webway gate. It isn't a Webway Gate, but a passage, which is in Campaign, when assaulting Necron Stronghold. I just couldn't find the building's file, to remove it.
If you are not seeing the movies in game, just copy the "Movies" folder from "DXP2" folder to "Annihilation_Mod" folder.
ONLINE GAME GLITCH!
To avoid it, KEEP ANNIHILATION MOD CLEAN AND PURE! You can only add sounds, textures and something like that. In short, just content, which doesn't mess with the "Attrib" folder.

If you find any bugs or glitches, feel free to inform us, by posting in our forums.

[hellhunter]

OK. This forum is meant for Annihilation Mod series not one version :)

Ok. To the point.

I will ask for help to more experienced modders. Hope that they will help me.

Playing the mod i noticed that Necrons have becomed very weak. Not in damage or health, but in teching and unit producing. I have played with Necrons against Eldar and Imperial Guard and both of them pwned me and my allies who also were Necrons. Any ideas to make them tech faster and produce units faster? But no posts about lowering health and damage. I want to make Necrons tech faster and produce units faster (i have already tried to accelerate their unit build times but it did not help). And another tricky thing. About Power Generator build times. I can't find where it is, that generator build time is increasing every time i build a new generator. And same about their price. I want to make fixed price and build time. Any ideas where to find it?

So, waiting for your posts.

And by the way, i'm balnazzar. My nickname in all forums is hellhunter.

Ok, I've found the generator time and cost modifier. So in v1.6 Necrons will have fixed price and time generators.

[Gremlin Shoota]

OK. This forum is meant for Annihilation Mod series not one version :)

I Update fourms when there's a new version out :p ^^ also edited title :)

and great to hear your alive lol :) good luck with 1.6

* Whispers: hellhunter... the chaos gods demands THE SKIRMISH AI MOD IN VERSION 1.6!!! Do this and you'll be rewarded :)....

[hellhunter]

Well, I could add the Skirmish AI Mod if they give me the permission to do it. I will try to mail them and ask.

Solution to Pink Box and Chaos Lord model issues.

These both issues happen only when the mod is launched by Game Manager. I got it too when i tried to launch mod by Game Manager. So only chance to get rid of pink box and model error is to copy Data folder from mod to DXP2. But unfortunately it breaks multiplayer.

[CadianShocker]

aw sucks, i miss the prince

not a big multi fan myself, i tend to get skinned, gutted and torn apart but hey...


great mod btw, much much fun with the tau battlesuits ^^ jumped in a smashed them orks to buggery and back.

elder are much much better now, so more like they should have been

IG sit back and chill out, dont mess with them when they are dug in

chaos, well they are chaos

SM good fun to play

Orks i hate with vengence

9/10 love this mod, so much fun

no bugs that i have noticed so far, wargear is the best thing of all, god damn i love it, tau commander is a beast when he has his gear on.

[hellhunter]

Just played with Necrons again. After I made Power Generator price and build time fixed, gave Necrons 1000 Power in standart starting resource, I kicked Eldar ass. VENGEANCE IS SWEET :twisted: .

Oh by the way, I am taking suggestions how to make mod better, but don't ask or say me to cap units more, cuz i won't do that.

Just post your opinion what should I add or change.

[CadianShocker]

I just played as necrons (^_^)

Pwnage at its best, ripped through enemy ranks like hot knife through butter...

Nec Lord is a one man army with all the war gear

What is the main focus of this mod? Rebalancing the game or creating more in the future, such as new units? Just asking so i can input my opinions. So far its great!

[hellhunter]

Stupid pink box!

People still get that error. I got it ONLY when i tried to run the mod through Game Manager. Wait. I think i got why! Maybe it's because some errors in Annihilation.module file. I will try to correct if something is wrong in there. I will write for results.

Finally some results!

I've corrected the Pink Box instead of a Daemon Prince. Daemon Prince and my mod fans cheer.

But the Chaos Lord's bug stayed for some reason. I've noticed very interesting thing. When not in Army Painter, when in main menu Chaos Lord has it's OLD chest armor. Remember? The one with skull and other stuff on it. I will try to fix this issue too.

Well i don't know how to fix Chaos Lord. But I've fixed Daemon Prince. So if you want to get rid of Chaos Lord's error in-game - gear him up!

I GOT IT!!!!!! FIXED BOTH BUGS!!!!

I've corrected the .module file using one from v1.3

Now, the solution.

Download Annihilation Mod v1.3
Extract from it Annihilation.module file to a new folder
Open it with Notepad, and in the line where is mod version, correct to 1.5
Save and close it.
Replace the v1.5 Annihilation.module file with the one edited from v1.3
Start Dark Crusade
Go in Game Manager
Select Annihilation
Play

BEWARE! Mod maybe will not work in Game Manager with v1.3 .module file. If that happens, extract the mod contents into DXP2 folder and play Dark Crusade.

[ChaosReigns]

I've played this mod it's really good, but yeah the only thing is that damned pink box of doom that replaces the DP.

[hellhunter]

Read my previous post for a solution to Pink Box and Chaos Lord model bug.

Hey ChaosReigns, where did you get that picture in signature? I want also to add that-like pictures in my signature.

[Randy]

This is a great mod! I love having Toth in there, attaching him to a squad of grey knights and... Currently I'm using this with the latest ai mod as well as the grey knights mod. All is well. I haven't seen any pink boxes but maybe that's because everything is stored in the ai data folder and going off their module... It would be great if the ai would command the new characters. Maybe down the road... Cheers!

[hellhunter]

Dark Crusade bugs.

Have anyone noticed obvious game bugs? I have 2.

First.

Look on Assault Terminator squads screen name. What would you see? Assault Terminator Veteran. :)

Second.

Think about Chaplain attach ability. He was not meant for attaching to squads, right? But, if he was not meant for attaching, how could he had an attach and detach voices? (Attach - "None can match our combined might!", Detach - "I am needed elsewhere!") Mysterious isn't it? :)

Can someone help me with AI of the mod? I want that AI uses new units, abilities and other stuff. Is someone able to do that? I haven't tried to mess with AI files, I don't understand them. But don't start to teach me how to make AI. I want someone who knows good how to edit AI. Together we could make team of mod.

Waiting for answers.

[DrIstvaan]

I play it with the AI mod, too. It's quite simple to do, and is loads more fun than the original DC AI.
Cheers to the creators (both of this and the DoW AI mod)!

[brengos]

How can you guys play with the AI mod ?
Just need to copy the AI folder to the annihilation mod's AI folder ??

Sorry i'm a noob at modding :(

[hellhunter]

No. You need to combine AI mod with my mod. Just copy my mod contents into AI mod folder. Or another, copy AI mod contents into my mod folder. You're set to go!

[captainmerkin]

download links say there is no such file anymore...

[hellhunter]

Too bad, I can't attach files. :(

[ChaosReigns]

Hi hellhunter, sorry I didn't get back to you faster about the pictures, but it looks like you found them anyway. In any case they're in the DC wallpapers and sigs mega thread.

A few things that I've noticed: switch Daemon Prince and Blood Thirster stats. Daemon Prince requires no relic and no Chaos Projectiles research, so the fact that the BT is weaker seems a little odd. Plus BT is stronger in TT...so it'd be more true to the fluff.

Also make cultists come in squads of atleast 14 WITHOUT Aspiring Champion.

One last thing: Both the Inquisitor and Force Commander having orbital bombardment is kinda IMBA. Give it to the FC or give it a global recharge time.

[hellhunter]

Thats where the trick is. Orbital Bombardment is most weakest of that-type abilities. Eldritch Storm, Corruption, Air Caste Strike etc. they all are much more stronger than Orbital Bombardment. So I decided to give it to two commanders.

I think that Daemon Prince is stronger than Bloodthirster. And about requirements, I will add that both of them require a controlled Relic.

If I make Cultists 15 by squad then they will be overpowered as they are scout unit. They have a good melee attack.

I have noticed one annoying bug! When with IG build a Battle Command, Guardsmen squads can add 3 more weapons. When update Battle Command to Regimental Command, Guardsmen squads are back to max 3 weapons. This keeps annoying me! I will try to find and fix it. Post if you have any suggestions to fix it.

Fixed

[ChaosReigns]

In terms of Cultists allow them 15 in tier 2 this would increase their later game viability.

For the Blood Thirster do what you want its your mod but believe me(I have the Chaos codex:p)BT is definitely stronger, afterall BT is effectively the avatar of Khorne whereas a DP is simply an ascended Chaos Lord(ie. not avatar of Khorne). Anyway if you're not going to change the stats make the BT not require Chaos Projectiles(best if neither DP or BT do) but still have both require relic

EDIT: O.K. you must havbe modified all those abilities because Orbital Bombardment is definitely the strongest in standard DC

Also, I'm not criticising your mod(I frequently play it for the wargear and ubers which are actually uber) I love it! Just making suggestions:jester:

[Gremlin Shoota]

download links say there is no such file anymore...
Updated first post with secondary download host

Enjoy :)

[captainmerkin]

secondary host just showing welcome page even when i have account, unable to find files either :(

[Gremlin Shoota]

-.-' You got to be kidding me... another download link has been made.

[Valkirie]

Me got fucking Sync problem using the Annihilation MoD 1.5 and not 1.4.

Btw i got same problem with my personal MOD...

[Gremlin Shoota]

Btw i got same problem with my personal MOD...
You need to delete any older versions of Annihilation Mod so it can work properly.

[hellhunter]

Well ChaosReigns you see, I am not trying to make all codex like. Just some aspects. To me Daemon Prince is most coolest of all daemons. But if you want Bloodthirster stronger than Daemon Prince, I could change health for both of them, but not damage.

If only I had the models of all W40k existing units, i could add all of them to my mod. Then it would be codex-like, with all 4 Chaos Gods daemons, and other stuff.

[hellhunter]

Playing the mod with DC Skirmish AI Mod, i've noticed that AI uses most of new units and abilities. Too bad that AI don't use completely new units like Inquisitor and Colonel. But it is already good that AI uses, for example, Terminator Sergeants, reinforces Assassins.

Most surprising for me that AI upgrades Tau Commander with weapon wargear. :)

Suggestion for mod.

How it would be if I make Necron Destroyers and Heavy Destroyers in squads?

[Valkirie]

I do. I dell 1.4 test 1.5 and get Sync error so i del 1.5 and put 1.4 and it work well !

[hellhunter]

v1.6 changes (for now)

Chaos Possessed Marines are now 11 by squad.
Imperial Guard Kasrkin now as always require a Regimental Command.
Obliterators are back to 5 by squad.
Terminator and Assault Terminator squads can now add sergeants.
Necron Pariah damage increased a bit.
Necron Flayed One damage increased a bit.
Necron Pariah health increased a bit.
Necron Flayed One health increased a bit.
Necrons now start with 1000 of Power when standart starting resource is set.
Power Generator now costs 100 Power and takes 25 seconds to build.
Commisar now makes squads immune to morale damage.
Psyker Lighting Arc damage doubled.
Psyker Strip Soul damage increased.
Priest now enhances squads better.

And of course the long waited fix. No more pink box and Chaos Lord model issue.

Valkirie what sync error do you get? What the game writes?

[wolfshadow]

So when can we expect to see 1.6?

[Gremlin Shoota]

So when can we expect to see 1.6?
Somewhere between a week from now and 5 weeks im guessing.

* Gremlin bends down on both knees and prays that it won't be longer till 2 weeks when 1.6 is out

Also maybe you can add the Scout Sergeants? :p

No... he means the codes of the Sync Error in the console, he's gonna need a screenshot of the console commands for helping you out. Start DoWDC again and start a game, and once you get the sync error
press CTRL+SHIFT+ ~ to open consle then press your 'Prnt Screen' button on your keyboard to take a screenshot. and post it in the thread in anyway, I.E: Code form, Screenshot and etc.

[Divinatus]

When I orginially saw this mod, I thought it would Suck. (I hate the hell out of
Brom) But then, Tzeentch gave me a vision...That I should try it, before I label it. Hell, I sure was proved wrong. Great Mod.

[hellhunter]

Playing with Imperial Guard today i got an idea. What about Heavy Weapons Team infiltration?

It sounds like this.

Requires Regimental Command, Relic, Mars Pattern Command.
Costs 5000 req, 5000 pow. Takes 5 minutes to perform.

[hellhunter]

Cheer Annihilation Mod fans!

v1.6 will contain lots of new units. And with custom models.

[hellhunter]

Ok. New units are (for now)

-Chaos-
Chaos Havocs
Chaos Icon Bearer
Chaos Terminators
Chaos Land Raider
-Space Marines-
Space Marine Devastators
Veteran Marines

Should I add Khorne Terminators to Chaos?

And I am thinking about Khorne Champion and Nurgle's Champion.

All new units will contain descriptions, icons, weapons, abilities and other that like stuff.

[ChaosReigns]

Very cool hellhunter, and yes in my humble opinion you should add all of those units eventually if not in this version. Can't wait, I'm so excited:D

Oh, and make sure you hard cap the more powerful of those new units at 4 like the others so there isn't massive spam.

EDIT: Could you also add the codex Defilers(done by medes I believe), don't change the stats(unless you want to for whatever reason) just switch the model.

[Gremlin Shoota]

TO MANY CHAOS!!!

Necrons now 2nd imba race
Chaos = 1st imba race in the mod now :D

:p add some orky units like the battlewagon or battle fortress vechicle and for IG the War Hound Titan ^^

[ChaosReigns]

My Black Legion will stomp on the dead of the Orkish horde(unless of course the Orks stomp on my dead first,lol)I like the idea of Imp Guard getting war hound titan, they also need conscripts. In regards to the two champions hellhunter, no don't add them, it'd be better if you just added the Chaos leuitenant. If you add the two champions Chaos will have 4 leaders, even more than SM!

Also, if you add Khorne Termies Possesed will become obsolete. Maybe you should just hard cap them at 1-2

[streetrider69er]

hell hunter im making a mod and i was wondering how to get both the tau paths not colide and i was hoping that if you read this if you could email me at street_rider69er@hotmail.com

[hellhunter]

OK. I think i will add Warhound Titan. But if i add him, i will nerf Bandeblade.

[Gremlin Shoota]

OK. I think i will add Warhound Titan. But if i add him, i will nerf Bandeblade.
Make the Baneblade's health down by 10000 so its like 25000 in total and damage nerfed by %10.

That could work out ;)

:p This mod is getting popular ^^

[hellhunter]

Damn it!

I can't find textures for Warhound. When i buy him, he is all pink. Has no textures. Someone knows where to find them?

Maybe instead of Warhound I could add a Stormblade? What do you think?

[Gremlin Shoota]

Damn it!

I can't find textures for Warhound. When i buy him, he is all pink. Has no textures. Someone knows where to find them?

Sure anything that's big ;) Cause the IG are for Support and they need big guns, IMPERIAL GUARD FTW!!!

[hellhunter]

Nah. Forget about Warhound. He is real bugged. I have tested it.He can't move.

So it will be Stormblade

[hellhunter]

Cheer mod fans.

Stormblade ready. v1.6 ready to be released.

[Gremlin Shoota]

Cheer mod fans.

Stormblade ready. v1.6 ready to be released.
YAY!!! Can you give us screenshots plzzzzz? ;)

Imperial Guard Baneblade and Stormblade

[Gremlin Shoota]

:D Nice

(Did you check your email yet?)

[hellhunter]

Yes i checked the email. Send me what you want to add, i will check.

[ChaosReigns]

Thank you so much hellhunter. One of the units I really wanted were codex defilers!

Any chance of Cultists getting 20 men to a squad in tier 2?

EDIT: Where do Chaos Landraiders fit in? Chaos already has 2 uber units(please don't decrease either of their health anymore).

Suggestion:Why doesn't each race have 2 ubers instead of one, here are my recomendations:

Chaos: Daemon Prince, Blood Thirster

Space Marines: Landraider, Landraider Crusader

Imperial Guard: Baneblade, Stormblade

Orks: Squiggoth, Battle Fortress

Eldar: Avatar of Khaine,?

Necrons: Monolith, Nightbringer(make him a full unit rather than just an ability)

Tau: Greater Knarloc,?

Not sure what second relic unit for Tau and Eldar would be. Any suggestions?

[Gremlin Shoota]

Hammerheads are basically the Greater Knarloc of Mont'ka and they are considered Uber Units, and Eldar has Seer Council as the 2nd Uber.

[ChaosReigns]

Okay thanks, that's not quite what I had in mind though(I was thinking something more along the lines of gargantuan, angry and able to slaughter entire armies)

Sooooo hellhunter? No hard feelings?:)

[Visitor13]

There's a huge Eldar tank in the TTRU mod...

[VenerableDread]

I guess a Barracuda would fit in for the Tau.

[hellhunter]

It's easy for you to say. Get me models and textures for them. Without textures and models it's even not worth to try.

Chaos Land Raider is not considered as an "Uber" unit. In it's current condition it's just a heavy tank.

Autarch's could fit in for Eldar. I would be very happy if i could find models for Land Raider Crusader, and The Necron Deceiver (heard of him?). I would be even more happyer, if i could find models of Lord of Change, Keeper of Secrets, Great Unclean One. If i could find them all i would remove Daemon Prince from game. Because of 4 Chaos God avatars would be more than enough.

[ChaosReigns]

I'm pretty sure that the Battle Fortress is available for download on DOWFiles. If there's a huge eldar tank(have no idea what he's talking about)in the Table Top Round Up mod then talk to ZanyReaper who's that mod's creator. Have no idea what a barracuda is or what it looks like so I can't help you there. In terms of the greater daemons don't think any of those or the deciever are available right now, same thing with the deciever. For the LR Crusader perhaps just re-texture it with all heavy bolters and storm bolters rather than las-cannons. I certanly don't expect any of these things though hellhunter, your mod is good enough. Also don't take out the DP he's my favorite unit. I just thought it would be fluffy if BT and DP switched stats, but whatever it doesn't matter.

P.S. So what about those cultists? You still haven't answered my PM yet man so: no hard feelings?

[hellhunter]

Well, i don't want to make cultists 20 in tier 2. That will really imbalance chaos, since they have many new units, who are really strong.

I will add a Battlefortress for Orks. Dance your happy dance. :)

Huge Eldar tank? In new files i've seen only Nightspinner Grav tank and Scorpion Grav tank.

And about feelings. You see i am sensetive by nature. Biggest trick is that you didn't even offend me. So don't be so rough on yourself. :)

Another trick is this. I can't texture units. I don't understand a thing in photoshop or other that like programs.

I want to create a team. Me as a lead and main modder. I need texturer, modeller, and someone who has good skill in AI making.

[hellhunter]

Hey guys.

Friday i will get my bank account number. So please donate some money. If you will donate i will tell you account number in PM. I have a decent need of a new CPU and VGA.

With new CPU and VGA i could mod better. Would be no stupid lags! :)

[ChaosReigns]

Okay I understand about the Cultists but I'm going to try for one more negotiation. Could you increase the squad size of Cultists to 13 (with Aspiring Champion)?

GremlinShoota now it's your turn to do a happy dance! YAY! ORKY BATTLEFORTRESS!

[hellhunter]

Ok ChaosReigns, i will increase the cultist squad size, but only in tier 2, only when Desecreted Fortress addon will be made.

Donations? None?

Can anyone help me?

I want to increase size of Hammerhead gunship. I can just increase scales in entity_blueprint_ext or i need a new model?

If the scales can someone guide me which (y,x,z) increases to unit corresponding place (height, width, lenght)?

[Gremlin Shoota]

GremlinShoota now it's your turn to do a happy dance! YAY! ORKY BATTLEFORTRESS!
Ok :p


YAY!!!! ORKY BATTLE FORTRESS FTW!!! NONE CAN WITH STAND THE FORTRESS OF ORKY 'NESS'!!!

YAYAYAYAYAYAY
ORKS > FTW!!
Happy ChaosReigns?


And balazzar gimme your Card number :)

[Randy]

I love the Stormblade! Yeah, it might be worth while talking with Zany. He's put in loads of new units, scorpion, battlefortress, the hydra (thats a good one), got them working with the ai... I like the anillilation ranges and balance much better however. Kudos on a great mod! I'm lovin it!

[ChaosReigns]

lol, I was just kidding but still that was pretty impressive:D

EDIT: hellhunter talk to MirageKnight over in the Dawn of WH40k thread. He did an absolutely fantastic job of scaling tanks to make them look more realistic:).

[Visitor13]

Yes, there is a huge Eldar tank in the TTRU mod. It's about the size of a Baneblade.

The Wrath of Chaos team seem to have a Great Unclean One:

http://www.dowdomains.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=224&sid=04675704b4c6bb73a5d7d9801deb7e7a

The Thousand Sons team have a Lord of Change, but AFAIK they'll only make the models available once they've released their mod (which shouldn't take too long now).

ShinGouki is working on a Keeper of Secrets.

Not the Deceiver, but Moru, creator of the Emperor and Horus models, said he'd work on the Void Dragon (yipe!). Haven't seen any pics yet.

I can't help you with the donations, sorry.

[hellhunter]

ChaosReigns give me the link to that thread. I need to talk with him. I want to make second "Uber" unit for Tau and i need to scale it since it is to small.

[hellhunter]

Sorry Ork fans. No Battlefortres for Orks, too messy. But rejoice Tau fans. Second "Uber" unit ready. I post screens a bit later.

[ChaosReigns]

hellhunter, sorry link to what Mirageknight or Zany?

EDIT: or whatever else you were talking about, sorry, can you clarify?

[hellhunter]

To MirageKnight.

Rejoice mod fans! I've released v1.6

Check dowfiles.com later.

[Gremlin Shoota]

:D I'll update thread once it's fully uploaded :)

and Congrats.


(Did you add the skins and such?)

[hellhunter]

Almost all new units in mod contain a custom model and textures.

[Zany Reaper]

I sure as hell hope you aren't stealing anyone's models.

The Stormblade is from the Steel Legion mod. Did you ask permission from them?

Furthurmore, you certainly didn't ask anything from me about the Warhound, Battle Fortress, Battle Wagon nor the Scorpion.

Many of the TTRU units are exclusive to the mod, & I can't afford to loose them.
If I find you've stolen Anyone's models (i.e. - models not for public download saying that you may explicitly use them in mods), then there'll be trouble.

[ChaosReigns]

Perhaps it would be wise to pull v.1.6 from filefront while you negotiate things out with Zany, hellhunter, and Zany I'm pretty sure that those models are from the C2C thread which medes has up for public download.

EDIT: and Zany lastly, the Stormblade is !NOT! solely exclusive to the Steel Legion mod, Remiel is also using it in his Divergence mod so please don't start accusing people before there is solid evidence of model theft.

EDIT2: Woops,forgot something, congrats on your release hellhunter hope we can clear up this little misshap:err:.

EDIT3: I don't think I've ever had to have three edits before,lol, in any case MirageKnight can be found in the thread: Dawn of WH40k Discussion Thread(Final Beta 0.99) which is in the mods in progress forum.

EDIT4: Oh boy, reaching the bottom of the barrel here(four edits:banghead:), the other thing Zany is that it's quite possible that hellhunter did not intend to rip the models off of anyone and that this is simply a misunderstanding. Afterall I'm sure most here would be sad to see a promising mod with tremendous potential go down the toilet because of a small muck up, wouldn't we?

[Gremlin Shoota]

chill Zany, he didn't use the Battle Fortress or Warhound Titan because they were bugged or somethingand he dosent even know about the rest of the stuff you said.

And BTW you can download the Battle Fortress on DoWFiles.


Also, DAMN Chaos.... that's alot of edits lol

[ChaosReigns]

In my case edits may be weak but they come in mass numbers ! JUST LIKE CULTISTS! lol

[hellhunter]

Thanks guys for supporting me.

I didn't "steal" any models. All models that i have used are available for community download.

I searched web for them.

Zany if i would add those units, i would certainly ask for your permission.

[ChaosReigns]

Nice, hopefully V.1.6 can be released now:)

EDIT: Another edit! Hide your eyes,lol. Anyway congrats again hellhunter! I have to admit I was worried for a minute there. Oh boy, glad that's over

*ChaosReigns breathes a sigh of relief*

[hellhunter]

Damn it! My email provider played a bad joke on me. I can't send the mod!

And i am a bit worried. What if the models and textures i downloaded from web are stolen from some mod or something? I really like my work, and i don't want that good mod such as my goes down. What should i do?

Models.

Stormblade
Chaos Terminators
Chaos Landraider
Chaos Icon Bearer
Chaos Havocs
Space Marine Devastators

I know that Chaos and Space Marine models are allowed for community download i've seen them on forums. But i'm really not sure about Stormblade.

Maybe don't release the mod? Cuz it might have some problems.

[Visitor13]

^ If it was clear from attached readmes etc. that they're available for community download, then I don't think there's anything to worry about.

I assume the Closer to Codex models have been around long enough to exclude any possibility of there being something illegal about them. If they contain any instructions regarding credit giving, etc. just follow them.

As for other models, if you've got permission from the original creators, then what's the problem?

[ChaosReigns]

Nooooooo! *ChaosReigns curls up in the fetal position*

Joking aside, what are you going to do hellhunter? How will you get the mod to DOWfiles?

[BigFish]

Even if you have inadvertantly 'stolen' them then you find out pretty damn fast round here! Put a disclaimer in the readme saying that you hope you havnt used anybodys work without permission and if you have open negotiation with the creators. The worst comes to the worst, you may have to remove it from your mod.

It might be an idea to speak to a moderator from this site to find out the best way of dealing with this situation. They take a very dim view of deliberate IP theft but I'm sure could tell you the best way of handling the situation.

[ChaosReigns]

Once again hellhunter, I checked on DOWfiles and your mod(V.1.5) is #4 on the list of top 10 downloads of the week! Congrats

Just so you know it was beaten by OFFICIAL PATCHES, not a single mod ahead of it:).

[Gremlin Shoota]

what's the link to this so called 'Community Site' of yours, I'll check it out for a while...

[ChaosReigns]

What mine? It's called DOWfiles, you have it in your signature man.

EDIT: I thought I could do it but I can't*ChaosReigns looks away in shame and despair* so what now? Are you going to upload the mod to DOWfiles? What course of action will you take?

[hellhunter]

You see i didn't search sites. I searced in google for models (too bad i can't remember the site names).

[Gremlin Shoota]

You see i didn't search sites. I searced in google for models (too bad i can't remember the site names).
then what did you search?

Chaos :p

[hellhunter]

Sorry guys. Ehh. Mod will not be released. Just finded out that Stormblade model which i find in google is taken from Dawn of Steel: Steel Legion Mod.

I still could release the mod if the Head of Steel Legion mod allowed me too. Too bad i don't know he's email.

[ChaosReigns]

Oh my, lol, my mistake:rofl:

EDIT: He's some where on these forums I've seen him before, don't remember his name though...check in the Steel Legion V.1.5 mod thread.

EDIT: his/her name is MaestroRobertus, I'll PM him/her for you hellhunter. O.K.? Is that alright with you, may I ask on your behalf?

[hellhunter]

Give me the link to the thread!

Yes ChaosReigns, please do that. I really don't want to take out stormblade.

Give him my email. I will negotiate with him.

balnazzar(at)inbox.lv (balnazzar@inbox.lv)

[ChaosReigns]

I did it, and don't worry I also took care of the negotiating, I eagerly await an answer my friend:).

EDIT: Forgot to mention I said you would be happy to give him credit for his model in the readme. I assume you are?:confused:

[hellhunter]

Thanks ChaosReigns. If you where a modeller, i would ask you to join me, and make team :)

Answer to your edit.

Of course, they made a great work with Steel Legion, i used to play it with WA.

[Gremlin Shoota]

Updated Thread as Annihilation Mod (Series) *Updated* Release Posphoned untill the confirmination has been done with MaestroRobertus


:p I'll be the advertiser ^^

[ChaosReigns]

Yeah, we should hear back from him shortly...I used an argument he can't possibly refute: Do it for the Emperor Maestro, for the Emperor and his Imperium!

Don't worry that wasn't the only argument;)

EDIT: Also, in the event that he says no, Remiel did a Stormblade for his mod, so there's that option too if this doesn't work out:).

[hellhunter]

ChaosReigns, you are the best support of my mod. Would you want to join as a co-leader?

Since i will be using many custom models, you will be my right hand in asking permissions and stuff.

If this does not work out, PM Remiel, and if he allows, get the model and textures, since i dont know where to find it.

Well i really hope he says yes. Since his model will be living in another more popular game, and in a good mod who is most downloaded for this game.

[Gremlin Shoota]

Most Dedicated Fan Award... and the WINNER IS!!!!

Hehe... I used paint it should look like shit, only took me 30 secs to do :D


:( I feel left out

[hellhunter]

Gremlin Shoota, you are not left out. You are the creator of this thread. Thanks.

[ChaosReigns]

OMG! Are you serious!? I would be honored...don't worry Gremlin Shoota, you hellhunter's first team mate. If it wasn't for you no one on this forum, except for me, would know about this fantastic mod, and remember, you are still hellhunter's PR(public relations) and advertising guy. Don't feel left out! You were always part of the team!

EDIT: If I am able to get a 3D modeller to help you hellhunter I can do concept art. I'll talk to Thudmeizer(the guy who organizes staff) and see what I can do:).

Gremlin Shoota, thanks for the medal, copying into sig:)

[hellhunter]

So co-leader ChaosReigns, no news form MaestroRobertus? Mod is ready to be released.

I need a modeller and a texturer, who can create models for game. And if he can't create, i need that he could just edit them.

[ChaosReigns]

Nothing yet cross your fingers everyone. I have work to do guys. When I get back I'll talk to Thudmeizer and Remiel.

[Gremlin Shoota]

Hey found some Models from greenphearo, maybe you could add them to 1.7 or something here's the download link (Might need to make it compatible with DC) http://www.savefile.com/files/265836

and some screenshots of them.

[hellhunter]

Hey guys, what i do is it called coding?

[Gremlin Shoota]

Hey guys, what i do is it called coding?
Coder = Making New units and such work in-game
Designer = Maker and basically Modeller
Concept Art = Artist :) Chaosreign


And one thing I noticed, its mostly just us 3 in the last 2 pages lol :lol:

[hellhunter]

Hey Gremlin Shoota, can you make new icons in game?

[Gremlin Shoota]

Im not really a modder at all, and never have tryed to make a mod (Upset for a mod for CoH) but im sure I can after a couple of pages in the Relic Wiki thing :)

EDIT: Just tell me where they are located and I know ^^

[hellhunter]

Making icons is not modding. It's painting or somthing. For example I take a screen of a weapon, you using that screen make an icon from it, so that weapon can use custom icon.

[Gremlin Shoota]

Making icons is not modding. It's painting or somthing. For example I take a screen of a weapon, you using that screen make an icon from it, so that weapon can use custom icon.
I Knew from the first page of the wiki thing but problem is, is that I dont know where they are located

Note: I already have ideas for Chaos forces ^^

[ChaosReigns]

Nothing yet guys, sorry, again keep your fingers crossed. I'm off to speak with Thudmeizer and Remiel.

[hellhunter]

It would look like this. I take screen. I send that screen to you. You make icon. You send that icon to me. I put it to it's corresponding folder.

[Visitor13]

MaestroRobertus doesn't come here very often nowadays (or at least he doesn't post here often, I saw him post a few days ago), so be prepared to wait a bit.

Hellhunter, you'd better replace the @ in your email with (at), or you'll get plenty of spam from bots scouring the web in search of email adresses.

And all the best with the mod :salute:

[ChaosReigns]

PM'd Thudmeizer, hopefully we'll hear back from him in a bit, in the mean time TO REMIEL'S THREAD! AWAAAY!

Okay, I'm back, haven't heard from Remiel in a bit though so we'll see if he responds.

[Gremlin Shoota]

It would look like this. I take screen. I send that screen to you. You make icon. You send that icon to me. I put it to it's corresponding folder.
K, sent my first icon, give it a go :)

[hellhunter]

Pretty good. But can you make it like on DoW game? With that square around and background color? And can you make the same with weapon icons?

Don't PM me in email. Stupid email provider does not work.

[ChaosReigns]

Okay guys I got a response from Thud, he wants to know if there is an official website for your mod. He also wants to know if there any concept art to show to potential takers for the modelling job. I can do concept art if you let me and tell me what you want done.

EDIT: let me ask you a question 'bout your mod hellhunter: does the DP now require a relic and have you made any changes in general to Chaos' dynamic duo?

[hellhunter]

No. Too bad we don't have any website for mod.

ChaosReigns you can do concept art. Right at the moment i need these models:

Imperial Guard Stormblade
Space Marine Land Raider Crusader

Can you handle these?

Answer to your edit.

Yes the DP now requires a relic. What you mean Chaos dynamic changes?

Sorry no website.

Does anyone knows how to make speech and weapon sounds for DoW? I have recorded a few for Chaos Terminators. How to convert them, and what i need to get them working?

[Gremlin Shoota]

Do you mean something like this?

http://www.filefactory.com/file/c51d48/ (http://www.filefactory.com/file/c51d48/)

You said not to email you it so uploaded it :D
if not please be more specific such as... how many pixels ??x??
and a drawing would be nice :)

[hellhunter]

Send to my mail, i can't download from that site. My mail now active.

No, not like that. Like in game, with weapon on it. But not in Armory or something, in squad.

[ChaosReigns]

hellhunter it may be easier to use Obliterator sounds for terminators, they sound fine and fit the part so if you are unable to get your own sounds in game then just use oblits' voice acting. I messed up guys Remiel didn't do a Stormblade he did a Shadowsword, sorry. I'll do those concept art pieces as soon as possible, hopefully be done in 3 days.

When I said Chaos' dynamic duo I meant have you changed the BT and DP in any ways other than DP now requiring relic. hellhunter perhaps release 1.6 WITHOUT the Stormblade and we(meaning you,me and GremlinShoota)can get it into the game in V.1.7. I'll do the condept art, GremlinShoota can do the icons and descriptions and you do coding.

EDIT: ARGH! My Spleen! darn it, another edit anyway I'm off to do that concept art, anything else you want done?

[hellhunter]

Ok. I take out Stormblade for this version. And i agree for the sounds. I've sended Gremlin Shoota the sounds i've recorded for Land Raider and Terminators. By the way give me your email, so that we all 3 can contact between each other.

No. I just need concept art for these two models.

[Gremlin Shoota]

HOW ABOUT INSTEAD OF EMAILING DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL XFIRE!!! EASIER!!!

www.xfire.com

and BTW hell the file you emailed was currupt

[ChaosReigns]

Well then hellhunter, I guess your going to have to recognize Gremlin Shoota and I in your next readme eh?;)

(I kid, I kid, I'd rather not be recognized 'cause I haven't actually done anything for you yet, however Gremlin Shoota should be in your next readme for his efforts:).

[hellhunter]

I've PM'ed Zany Reaper for use of custom content from TTRU mod. Hope that he willl reply positively.

Please no Xfire. I don't have it and i don't want it.

I have a better idea. SKYPE!!!!

[ChaosReigns]

X fire...what? O.K. I've gotta stop coming to these conversations late. Don't get hopeful hellhunter, I think you made Zany mad. Are you going to release V.1.6 without the Stormblade? You should y'know.

[hellhunter]

ChaosReigns mail me when you get an answer from MaestroRobertus.

Yes i will release v1.6 without a Stormblade
Well, i asked Zany's permission in a very formal condition, i hope that he will say yes.

[ChaosReigns]

But when hellhunter,WHEN! Also don't email me, I never check my email. Better if you just PM me.

[hellhunter]

Ok. Mail when you get the answer. But still work on Stormblade's concept art, so that Thudmeizer can give it to modeller and texturer. We may still need our own Stormblade. And don't forget Land Raider Crusader. It is one of most important what i need currently in game.

We have one problem.

If Zany says no to me, than we will need lots of new icons. I can handle the new weapons, but i can't handle icons. I don't understand a thing in photoshop.

hellhunter what I mean to say is when is V.1.6 going to be released?

Talked to Mirageknight about scaling up tanks, haven't gotten a reply yet.

Okay I'll do the concept art as soon as possible.

Soooooooo...now that the crisis is over what's that new Tau super unit?

[Gremlin Shoota]

*NEWS*

I Gremlin Shoota, has established a website for this mod ^^ but currently it's still under counstruction, ChaosReign PM me for the link :) hellhunter already knows

[hellhunter]

I called it - Mont'ka Hammerhead Gunship.

Has 14000 health, limited to 2. It's like a Land Raider, but weaker, as the Tau have two "ubers".

Description:

- Vehicle. Super-Heavy Tank.
- Larger and more powerful version of Hammerhead Gunship.
- Carries more powerful weapons than the standar Hammerhead Gunship.
- Effective against vehicles and buildings.

I tried to make it bigger in scale, changing the scale values, but no results. It stayed at the same size.

What link? I don't know.

[Gremlin Shoota]

What link? I don't know.
I emailed it to you lol

[Zany Reaper]

Talked to Mirageknight about scaling up tanks, haven't gotten a reply yet.I would'nt bother even PMing him about anything. He says he's too busy to reply, or just doesn't.

Davisbe has a method however of scaling, an easy one...

[hellhunter]

Hey Zany. I know that you are viewing now.

You mean i will need to recreate your mod for DC? That will be hell of a work, and i am lazy by nature. Can't you just give permission to use all that stuff.

Don't think that i don't want your mod with mine. Your mod is great. It's just it will be very hard work to recreate everything.

Hey Gremlin Shoota good work with website.

But you didn't had to upload my voice sounds to web. :D These are just tests. I will convert them to use in DoW (if Zany will tell me how).

Future ideas for website.

Create a following options. (where the Downloads, guest book in that line)

Forum.
Team.
Screenshots.

Team Status

Me - Leader, main coder.
ChaosReigns - Artist
Gremlin Shoota - What is your status? (icon making and other that like stuff)

Ok. Since the Zany has given me permission to use custom stuff in v1.6, i'm releasing mod.

Hey Gremlin Shoota could you rename adress of website from

http://www.freewebs.com/gremlinshoota/index.htm
to
http://www.freewebs.com/annihilation_mod/index.htm

[Gremlin Shoota]

Here's a better prize you deserve ChaosReign :) It only took me 15 more seconds than before.

http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/7821/awardoc2.th.png (http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=awardoc2.png)
Enjoy!

I'll do my best to add those ideas to the site ^^

[hellhunter]

Gremlin Shoota tell me your status. I'm releasing the mod i need to add it to readme.

Gremlin Shoota - creator, designer of our mod website........

And could you change the mods website adress?

[Gremlin Shoota]

Gremlin Shoota tell me your status. I'm releasing the mod i need to add it to readme.

Gremlin Shoota - creator, designer of our mod website........

And could you change the mods website adress?
well, that's kinda the problem the site part where it says my name is my profile name at freewebs, so if I change the name then I need to create a new website so you would understand the lag there and they kinda recently crashed or refreshed the site so I can't edit the site ATM.

and my status is

Gremlin Shoota - Icon Designer/Site Manager/Advertiser

:)

[hellhunter]

Ok. So i'm releasing the mod on dowfiles

[ChaosReigns]

Any chance you can PM me with the link to your website Gremlin Shoota?(oh, woops, my bad I didn't notice it there)

Zany I didn't PM Mirageknight, I posted in the DOW40k thread. Anychance you'll let hellhunter use any of your models?

[Zany Reaper]

You mean i will need to recreate your mod for DC? That will be hell of a work, and i am lazy by nature. Can't you just give permission to use all that stuff.No, you basically would just make it for Normal Dawn of War style of gameplay i.e - low damage values etc.
Basically - just having the Annihilation changes.

Just PM me for more info & help on the mod merge.



Ok. Since the Zany has given me permission to use custom stuff in v1.6, i'm releasing mod.I nEVER gave permission. I said that you will be able to use them WHEN we merge mods.
The C2C stuff is OK, but anything grabbed from the TTRU mod nor any other mods isn't.

[hellhunter]

I want to pull up a important thing.

Since i've gathered the team, we have a website for our mod, we are moving to a real big mod, like Dowai mod. All big mods have a banner. We also need a banner.

But most importantly we need a crew. A crew consisting of texturers, modellers, and AI guys.

Hey ChaosReigns what did Thudmeizer said about modellers and texturers?

Don't get what you really want. Merge. You mean my changes and your units in the mod?

So, can i release v1.6? I think of merging only in v1.7. Since v1.6 is ready.

[ChaosReigns]

Merge, wait a second! Merge, what are you guys talking about!

I can only make hand-drawn stuff man, maybe I can draw it and Gremlin Shoota can get it up on the website?

(By the Gremlin Shoota the website is fantastic! It's awesome.) Get some screenshots up there and then we can give the link to potential tkaers for the modelling job:)

[Zany Reaper]

You mean my changes and your units in the mod?Technically, but with some exceptions:

I want the armour penetration values to remain pretty much the same as they are in the weapon luas for the TTRU mod (You haven't got these as a merge isn't fully agreed). The damage values & anything else can be tweaked, but remember - It's gotta be a bit more like Tabletop than normal DOW.

However, I had someother conditions, which were that you use our forum as a 'base of operation,' modify your mod name so it bears relation to Tabletop Round-up, & that we merge teams.

But since we haven't merged yet - you aren't allowed to use any stuff from the Tabletop Round-Up mod yet, let alone releasing them in any other mods.

Sorry, but I take my IP seriously.

Why not go to our forums & chat there? The address is http://s9.invisionfree.com/Tabletop_Roundup_Mod/index.php?

[hellhunter]

Yeah, but thats the problem. I want to rebalance DC and add new units in it. I want that some aspects are similiar to codex, not all my mod. Can't we just merge like this. We merge our teams together. The mod stays Annihilation Mod. Mod is rebalancing game and adding new stuff in game.

Can't we just do like that?

Well i think that Zany will say no. Ok i'm starting to make new weapons required for units.

Gremlin Shoota icons are on you.

[Zany Reaper]

Can't we just do like that?Not exactly as 'like that.'

All I ask is that the Name of the mod is changed a bit so that it contains 'Tabletop' Or 'Roundup,' & that the weapons files have the same AP stats. That's all for the luas, do whatever you like with the rest.
Non-mod wise, use my forum as a base, & merge teams.

4 simple things, nothing more. I'm sure that's alright.

[Gremlin Shoota]

Pass me some pictures of the new weapons once there done.

Atleast 4 Screenshots all from different angles NOT FROM DEFAULT VIEW

[Zany Reaper]

Pass me some pictures of the new weapons once there guns.I think he means attribute files, not literally tweaks to the model files.

[Gremlin Shoota]

O_o So basically like a new unit or just edited unit, such as Bolter Squad, Heavy Bolter squad and etc?


EDIT: I'll be back later, working on the site

[hellhunter]

Ok Zany you mean that i just change the name? That's it? Everything else stays?

[Gremlin Shoota]

Tabletop Annihilation sounds good :banana: well better than Annihilation Tabletop or Annihilation Round-up orrrr Round up annihilation

EDIT: Send me some screenshots to add to the site

[Zany Reaper]

Tabletop Annihilation I like as a new name, though it sounds scary to tabletop players.

Hellhunter:
Name Change;
Same AP weapon values;
My Forum;
Team & work merge.

That's what I ask. Name's one of them.

[hellhunter]

Hmm. Why your forum? And why dont you mention our website?

Well, i will think.

Gremlin Shoota check your mail.

Zany can you finally reply to my PM?

How did you convert created sounds for units for use in DoW? And what i need to make them work with specific names?

[ChaosReigns]

Nice website Gremlin, I like it! Hellhunter please take heed of my words!

When is 1.6 going to be released to filefront?

Oh, actually one thing you should do Gremlin, go onto google and get some 40k pictures and DOWscreenshots and stick them up around the site.(just a suggestion)

Work on the LR Crusader started, I'll post pictures once it's finished

[Gremlin Shoota]

well, it's not gonna be out untill me and hell are done with the finishing touches
and with Zany's stuff *wink* and im still making the icons for it with hell :)

[ChaosReigns]

I'm also working on a banner for the mod per your request hellhunter, unfortunately its going to be hand drawn, oh well. If you like it(I do, but that doesn't matter) you can adopt it as the mods official and stick it up on your website. If you guys don't like it that okay too:).

Agreed :D

[ChaosReigns]

Sorry guys the banner is horrific, going to have to start over so it'll be here tommorrow or the next day. Anyway, I have some work to do tommorrow also so I'm not going to be on the forum for much of the day. PM me when 1.6 is released:).

[Zany Reaper]

and with Zany's stuff *wink* and im still making the icons for it with hell I said that you're NOT taking stuff from my mod yet. What are you using?

Hellhunter - PM it is.

[hellhunter]

Does anyone knows a good email provider which can send files of more than 100 mb?

[Zany Reaper]

Who says you need a decent e-mail provider?

[hellhunter]

Well i can't post files more than 30 mb on my provider. :D

Gremlin Shoota, don't be offended, but that music in website is ridicilious. If you can find, upload to website music from in-game DoW.

[Zany Reaper]

Isn't that illegal?

[hellhunter]

Well i don't think that it is illegal.

[Zany Reaper]

Those Chaos Terminator & Land Raider sounds are hilarious. I think you should make some modifications to them.

[King_Malekith]

hey, just checked your website and noticed you dont have any forums for yoursleves so if you want contact me and ill see what i can do :D

[Visitor13]

Hellhunter, it's NOT enough that you think it's legal. You HAVE TO be absolutely certain it's legal before you do anything with it. Talk to a mod or admin about it.

[scifiguy52]

Hello, I just registered to these forums, and I have been a big fan of this mod since the first version, and I had a few ideas for the Imperial Guard. I know you have a lot on your plate at the moment, but if you would concider these, I would be very greatful.

Imperial Recon Team: (Hardcap: 3)
A two man team of standard Imperial Guardsmen assigned to recon duty, they should be quick moving and have a fairly large line of sight. Their primary duties would be
A. Recon (Obviously)
B. Spotting
C. Early SP capturing

I think they should be cheap and quick to produce (It is only 2 guardsmen, after all) but very weak. They should be infiltrated, and maybe have the idea to plant a satalite relay (Like the snare trap, but without the snare :P ) which would reveal a small area of the map until found and destroyed.

My second Idea is

Imperial Field Engineer: (Hardcap: 1, attachable)
This is like an Enginseer, but more suited to combat. He is able to make repairs to vehicles, but he cannot build anything. However, he can plant mines (Again, like the snare trap, but with the effects of a mine field) as well as explosive charges (Like the burna bomb, but weaker, and with a longer fuse)

Thats all I have for now, and thank you for taking the time to read over my ideas :)

Regards
-Scifi

[ChaosReigns]

Good news everyone, I just got a response from MirageKnight and he said he would be happy to help you scale up tank(s) hellhunter

Secondly, hellhunter I think it would be a good idea to replace all standard Relic made models with C2C ones as they are randomized and simply have more visual appeal.
If you want a link to the thread its in Zany's signature.

Does anyone else have any preferences about this(any of the fans, that is)?

[hellhunter]

Ohh. That will be real hard work for me as a coder to replace all models. Lets just leave v1.6 as it is. Im now trying to make new icons in photoshop (really hard cuz i dont know photoshop).

[Zany Reaper]

With my help of course ;)

[ChaosReigns]

So your making new icons for the new units? When are you going to release 1.6, come on man if you want me to be part of the the team you're going to have to stop leaving in the dark as for your release plans:confused:

Also, some one said that they'd be willing to stick up forums for the mod. PMing them now.
Update: King_Malekith PM'd about forums

[Zany Reaper]

No, I provided Hellhunter with some helpful icon templates. Makes icon creation about 2ce as quick.

[ChaosReigns]

hellhunter, Gremlin Shoota, PM'd you guys with previous concept work that I did:)

[Gremlin Shoota]

DAMN that concept art is sweet! im posting this on the site!

EDIT: It's on the site ^^ check out the concept art section

[ChaosReigns]

Gremlin Shoota its not for this mod though. Hellhunter did you get my message?

[Gremlin Shoota]

Gremlin Shoota its not for this mod though. Hellhunter did you get my message?
oh well :p it's still your work anyways and your the artist guy so give me anything else you have and I'll post it :p

[ChaosReigns]

hellhunter do you want me to start on those Greater Daemons now(I'll enjoy doing them alot more than a Land Raider Crusader)

heh, does that mean I'm officially your concept artist?
post it up in this thread instead Gremlin Shoota it might catch the eye of jobless modellers;)

EDIT: If you can Gremlin make that picture a thumbnail so it's size can be increased

[Gremlin Shoota]

heh, does that mean I'm officially your concept artist?

post it up in this thread instead Gremlin Shoota it might catch the eye of jobless modellers;)
hehe... Here it is boys and girls

TADA!!!

[hellhunter]

Zany thanks for icon templates. But the same stupid issue. I make an icon in Photoshop, convert it with a converter, but the same stupid pink icon for unit!

I do everything correct. Icon is 64x64, .tga.

How can i set white background for icon if i am using an screenshot piece?

[ChaosReigns]

Just so you know guys I am NOT I repeat NOT sensitive so constructive criticism is welcome:)

no flaming though, lol

EDIT: no Gremlin I meant(thumbnail) on the website, but that's okay

hellhunter do you want me to do those greater daemons
now?

Okay well I'm off to make those Imperial vehicles should have that AND banner up today or tommorrow

[Gremlin Shoota]

Just so you know guys I am NOT I repeat NOT sensitive so constructive criticism is welcome:)

no flaming though, lol

It would be nice if it was colered :)

[ChaosReigns]

sorry Gremlin I would color it but my pictures always seem to get ruined when I color them(like with the banner)

UPDATE: sketches of LRC are complete so there's a good chance that if I work on them for the rest of the day that they'll be finished for tonight

EDIT: Another cultist...er...edit, okay joking aside, is it okay if I add you(Gremlin Shoota) and you(hellhunter) to my forum buddy list? Yes, no, what's your answer!?:p

[hellhunter]

I've noticed one tricky thing. See the screenshots.

This really pissess and puzzles me out!

Zany help me with this! I really dont know what to do!

[ChaosReigns]

downloading skype:(...or not
That's too bad hellhunter I don't know why you don't use the forum services but whatever it doesn't matter. I'll just post the concept art publicly rather than sending it through PM

[Gremlin Shoota]

Guys, im not gonna be on for the next couple of days, im on vacation skiing in Barrie at Blue Mountain, so.. I'll be back in a couple of days more specifically Jan 3. Chow.

[ChaosReigns]

see ya Gremlin Shoota, have fun:)

hellhunter I would rather keep my anonymity so instead of using skype why not just use the forum?

[Zany Reaper]

Hellhunter - give me time. I'm not here all the time remember, got my Stompa to work on.

Ok, you're getting pink icons. Note that you'll get pink icons for infantry if you upgrade them with a different weapon. This requires you to make 'different' versions of the icon for each upgrade.

Here's what you do:
You 1st make your normal icon, then copy it.
THEN, get the name of the weapon upgrade you're gonna make an icon for & paste it at the end of the copied icon, so that it should read something like
Chaos_havoc_icon__Chaos_autocannon_Havoc.tga or something like that.
Note that IT MUST have 2 underscores rather than one after the original Icon name.

If you're still having problems then PM me.

This must be happening to you if your icon goes pink when you upgrade a weapon.

[ChaosReigns]

Sorry to reiterate, I'm keeping my anonymity, let's just use the forum it's so much easier:banana:

[hellhunter]

Yeah, but thats the trick. Icon Bearer does not have any weapon upgrades.

[Zany Reaper]

So now it's the Icon bearer thats the problem?

Hopefully this isn't one of these unsolvable ones I got, such as the Chaos Land raider.

Right - double check the icon files to make sure that they work. Compare it to the Havoc one.
Also - look at the lua files for the Icon bearer to check if the icon path is correct, for both SBPs & EBPs files.

If that fails to work, then try a different icon.

[hellhunter]

I tried your icon. It works perfectly. I tried to renaming, correcting paths, creating additional weapon upgrade icons. No results.

Well thats the trick. If the one icon does not work, then all of them will not work. And question. How can i know that .tga is uncompressed?

[ChaosReigns]

hellhunter PM'd, last one, I promise:). Please read it though.

[Zany Reaper]

Hellhunter - what program are you using to save the icons.
Compressed tga files are quite a bit smaller than uncompressed ones.

[hellhunter]

I'm using Advanced Batch Converter. Maybe you can tell me which you are using?

Here are some icons. I created them in photoshop.

http://www.savefile.com/files/374470

Icons are in .psd format.

[Gremlin Shoota]

After one hour drive to Barrie we finally arrived right now we're unpacking, I am still online but since this isn't my home computer and I don't own a labtop I can't do the icons untill I get back. But im still here, well gotta get going. Chow.

[Zany Reaper]

Hellhunter - what is advanced batch converter?
I use the GIMP 2.2. It's a pretty good program for icons, though it compresses tga files. I use it for Jpg icons anyways.

[ChaosReigns]

hellhunter and Gremlin Shoota is there a chat service we can use that is typing rather than talking. Otherwise why don't we just use the forum, that's what it's here for:)

EDIT: Mirage Knight is PMing you if he hasn't already hellhunter:)

SciFiGuy I like your ideas(sorry I didn't respond earlier, it's been a hectic day)and I'm doing concept art for them now.
ScifiGuy I'm having a terrible time trying to envision the combat engineer, what were you thinking,a servitor, a tech adept a regular guardsman?

[Gremlin Shoota]

Back for 15 mins then back to the mountains.

CHAOSREIGN GET SKYPE!! IT'S NOT ONLY CALLING AND TALKING YOU CAN TYPE!!! GET SKYPE NOW!!

[hellhunter]

ChaosReigns, in skype i with Gremlin are not talking. We only chat. So download, and don't worry to lose your anonimity.

[ChaosReigns]

getting skype right now:)

I also stuck up a thread in the Adeptus Modifacitus forum asking if anyone would be willing to make a user bar(ie. banner) for our mod which people can cut and paste into their signatures.

[hellhunter]

Hey Zany did you check the icons i provided. Check them please. Maybe you will notice something wrong.

Hey do you have an icon templates for weapons? Like flamer, heavy bolter, plasma gun, missile launcher, well all these with red, blue, yellow, green squares.

Zany, provide me please with a link of that GIMP 2.2 program.

[Zany Reaper]

What's wrong, is that they are PSD files. They should either be Jpgs or Tga files.

Google for the GIMP download.

[hellhunter]

No you didnt get me right. These icons i convert later to .tga

[Zany Reaper]

Ok, I might be able to look properly into them but I am too busy at the momnt.

[ChaosReigns]

I'll be asking some more questions about skype very shortly hellhunter, so if you get a PM from me please open it. Working on that banner and concept art:).

[hellhunter]

Hey Zany

When i save created icon through photoshop, i need to save it as a layer or as a copy?

[scifiguy52]

hellhunter and Gremlin Shoota is there a chat service we can use that is typing rather than talking. Otherwise why don't we just use the forum, that's what it's here for:)

I was thinking the undeployed Heavy Weapons Team, it seems to fit, because it has the helmet, a pack full of gear... etc.

[ChaosReigns]

Okay SciFiGuy, I'll work on it after I'm done the Land Raider Crusader:)

EDIT: Hi everyone ChaosReigns again, I was able to get two user bars made for this mod. Credit goes to Brother-Horus and DanVanMan(they did it for free=even more brownie points). Here's the link, be sure to copy one or the other(or both) into your signature. Thanks again to the artists.

NOTE(READ ME!): the userbars are a little ways after the first post. Just search the 1st page(should be easy, it's a small thread)

[Gremlin Shoota]

I would've made some... if my GIMP tool stopped crashing after 5 seconds...


DAMN YOU BILL GATES!! :bonk:

[ChaosReigns]

lol, Gremlin there's one more a little farther up the thread. Any chance you could put that one in the first post?

[Gremlin Shoota]

lol, Gremlin there's one more a little farther up the thread. Any chance you could put that one in the first post?
That one needs to be smaller, it won't fit in the signature and it barely can get through Un-- it needs to be smaller to make it work

[ChaosReigns]

Okay, I'll try to get it smaller, but like I said unfortunately I didn't make 'em so...we'll see.

EDIT: Hey wolfshadow you like this mod right? if you do I'll make you a custom userbar for you :)

[Divinatus]

I don't know if its needed or not, but I'd be willing to pledge my assistance to the mod in the Attrib area, I've got a solid grasp on how everything works.

Anyway, peace, and let the Chaos Gods consume your enemies.

[Gremlin Shoota]

Well, we most likly could use your help :) but I have to have hellhunter ansewer that and I'll be glad to make you a custom userbar :)

[hellhunter]

OMG! Userbars are great!

We are progressing so fast, that i can't even track. :D

Keep up the good work.

Divinatus. I as a mod leader accept your offer. May the Chaos Gods be with you!

Ok. MirageKnight has guided me. I will scale the Mont'ka Hammerhead now.

Gremlin you could add to my userbar also that i am leader. :)
And ChaosReigns is also a co-leader.

Attention! We right now need an experienced UI/Icon designer/creator. Since we don't have a lot of icons that we need. I can't release v1.6 because of these icons! So if anyone is willing to help PM me.

hellhunter/balnazzar

[demonofthefall]

Hey hellhunter, small problem. Me and my buddies were trying to play the mod last night in 3v3 comp stomp using Hamachi last night. We get a sync error and crash to desktop within 15 secs of the level starting every time so we gave up. Got any idea what could be causing?

The mod looks great other than that, keep up the good work

[hellhunter]

No, i dont know. When you get it, open console (ctrl+shift+~) and take a screenshot with cause of problem. Post it here.

[hellhunter]

Just played Aralez's map Slash. Great map. I've noticed one thing about me. I can organize a perfect defense operation.

I played with IG, my allies also were IG, enemies Orks. My allies were strong in start of the round, they rushed to Ork base, but Orks repelled them. Then Orks started to periodically throw more and more at us. While my allies battled near very doors of their base, i maintained a strong defense ground between Space Marine Bolter Turrets and Relic. I just pwned Ork hordes massively incoming at me. :) Too bad i didn't strike back, i played for such a long time that it became booring.

[brother-horus]

heh, paint never fails. neither does GIMP. i have photoshop CS2 though.

on topic, maybe i could do a bit of coding/mapping on this mod, i have no uploaded maps cos my ME doesnt like me saving maps right now. i also do concept art.

[ChaosReigns]

Alright everyone, we should have user bars for public use up today or tommorrow.(Both of the old ones are being modified)

[ChaosReigns]

I have, attempting to get it to work now:)

EDIT: So are team now consists of 2 Chaos Marines, 1 Ork and a Cultist:p

[brother-horus]

i may have that bar done in a minute just a few edits.

[ChaosReigns]

LRC half done, expect it up VERY soon:D.(nice user bars Gremlin). Yeah I can't believe how fast this mod is progressing either. It's only been three days lol. In that time the team has avoided a crisis, gotten a concept artist and icon maker/designer, gotten an attrib guy(Divinatus), gained popularity incredibly fast, put up a website and made 5 userbars. Hopefully Thudmeizer will be helping us get a modeller very soon.

[Gremlin Shoota]

EDIT: Only 4 more days till im back to my home PC :) and have a Happy New Year's Eve!!

[ChaosReigns]

Nice userbar Divinatus, it was the hand of the Changer that led you to us! May Tzeentch bless you and this mod, welcome!

Joking aside we are DESPARATELY inneed of a modeller and texturer, if anyone is even mildly curious please ask about joining up.

[Gremlin Shoota]

Most modellers are taken and same with texturers.
So it's gonna be awhile till something comes up.

and WOW this thread is 6 days old and already 16 pages long lol :lol:

[ChaosReigns]

Sorry guys, I underestimated the time it would take to make that LRC, it's REALLY hard putting in all the details and getting the angles right. I might post pics when it's closer to being done but for now it's going to take probably another day or two to finish.

[scifiguy52]

I have another idea, what about giving the Rhino and the Chaos Rhino an ability like rampage, only it doesn't do any damage (but still knocking them aside). Because, that is the only transport lacking onboard weaponary, so if they have the ability to plow through enemy infantry to get there passengers somewhere important, it might make up for that.

[Divinatus]

That would be an intresting Idea.. if we had an animator, we could give it a melee attack, which would simply be for it to attempt to impale you on its forward spikes... *sigh* I hate it when those Ideas spring to mind...

[compiler]

"what about giving the Rhino and the Chaos Rhino an ability like rampage"

You can find that in my Space Marines Armoury mod.
(not updated for DC, so be ready to do a little work).

[Divinatus]

Hmm....Compiler, would you let us use that in the mod? Credit would be given.

[compiler]

Sure. Space Marines Armoury is for anyone to use, provided proper credit is given, as said in the readme.
Be warned that the last version I made was for WA/DoW 1.41; so be prepared to do some work by yourself to port it to WA1.5 or DC.

[hellhunter]

Wow. You all sure know your work for good. But maybe i will decide what ideas we will include in the mod? I am a bit dissapointed. Since i'm the leader, i must decide what include what not!

Ok, if thats settled, then giving Rhinos rampage is a good idea, since they are really lacking ability to defend themselves. Look on Chimera for example. It has excellent ability to defend itself.

By the way Divinatus download skype. I will PM you on my name

[ChaosReigns]

Where can one find this Chaos Space Marine armory mod Compiler? It sounds very interesting.

A few simple questions about the mod hellhunter: Are Chaos Termies(both varieties) hardcapped?

Do they have teleporters?

EDIT: hellhunter ACTUALLY do add the Chaos champions to Chaos SM. That way both Chaos and SM have 4 heroes.

[hellhunter]

I'm already downloading it Chaos.

Chaos have only one type of termies. But, still they are both powerful in CC and in ranged. They are hardcapped to max 2 , since the Chaos have Obliterators. They have Teleporters, but they as Obliterators require teleporter research.

[ChaosReigns]

Good stuff, got skype, intend to use it very soon but have some work to do first:)

[hellhunter]

Hey compiler, could i use your Vindicator and all its releated stuff in my mod?

ChaosReigns, Chaos does not need Champions. They are already 4 heroes. Sorcerer, Lord, DP, BT.

Too bad that we are focusing on new units. Right now we should focus on unit and weapon icons. Because of them i cant release v1.6

[compiler]

@ChaosReigns : My mod is not "Chaos Space Marines Armory", but "Space Marines Armoury".
You can find it here :
http://compiler.free.fr/dawn_of_war/index.htm

@Hellhunter : yes, anyone can use it, provided proper credit is given.

[hellhunter]

Chaos, ask Thud, if there's any free or willing experienced UI/Icon designer/creator, that can and knows how to use Photoshop or any other advanced image editor.

[ChaosReigns]

hellhunter how close are you to having all of the icons made?

I have to go and continue my work very shortly so I can't stay on the forum for the rest of the day.

My real name isn't Bob Smith in case you were wondering...;)...or is it...

What happened to the respect you were talking about earlier and what'd I do to lose it?:p

EDIT: PMing Thud as we type

He responded, said he wasn't sure he could help us in that department:(

[DanVanMan]

Hey guys I may be willing to make the wargear icons for ya heres an example...

http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/316/eldarwargeargauntletsrevt9.jpg Its up to you. :cylon:

[brother-horus]

im a UI creator btw, im multi talented.

[hellhunter]

DanVanMan its great. But could you add to it also a square? So that it really looks a DoW icon. Gauntlets of Isha, right?

brother-horus if you are willing to help, i will send you screens of new units and weapons. Will you be able to make icons from screen pieces?

It must look like this. Unit icon with its race background, same, but white background for the weapon icons, and we also need unit icons with weapon upgrades (y'know with coloured squares around). I hope that you know for icon squares, red - flamer like, blue - heavy bolter like (anti infantry), yellow - plasma gun like ( anti heavy infantry), green - missile launcher like (anti building & anti vehicle).

Just give me your mail here or PM. I will send you

[ChaosReigns]

hellhunter how do you initiate a conversation with your contacts in skype?

Ah! Looks like we've found our UI people:)

EDIT: DanVanMan, any chance we'll be seeing those user bars/signatures any time soon?

[DanVanMan]

DanVanMan, any chance we'll be seeing those user bars/signatures any time soon?

Sorry I dont have enough time to finish them tonight or tomorrow but moday they should be done. :awesome:

Dont worry it is square its just when I converted it to a jpeg it reshaped it some how.

[Gremlin Shoota]

As we all know, tomorrow (or already is) the 31st, and personally the Annihilation Mod Team would like to wish you a happy new year!

Have fun guys! see you in the new year :D

[ChaosReigns]

I'll second that motion! Happy new year everyone

EDIT: hellhunter I PM'd you, LAST ONE I PROMISE, but please read it anyway.

[hellhunter]

No DanVanMan you didnt get me right.


Is must look like this, with the races square around. For Eldar it is purple/red.
