Good to see that my code was of use to you :). If you have any SCAR questions then don't hesitate to ask me ;).
It's great that you're using my Modlauncher as well. :)
(Way too many smileys in this post of mine =P.)

Good luck with your mod!

Edit: Just watched the videos, the effects of the Farseer are WOW. I didn't actually know that there were such cool animations and effects (I don't actually play DoW2 :D).

[Steel*Faith]

I played the mod for awhile with a buddy of mine. Very fun stuff here! Only let down was Mek & Kommando Nob not being available :(

From what i've gathered so far, Tech Marine needs a serious boost, particularly his turret. Why not let him build up to 3 turrets, and give them a damage & suppression buff. His High powered shot also needs a damage boost.

Also, what about giving the Warboss a charge ability, so he can flatten enemies in his path? Also new tyranids to fight, like Carnifex, Zoanthrope, Ravener ect is greatly needed, but love the swarm effect.

P.S. Looking forward to Kommando with a shit load of explosive skills!

[Ciaphas Cain]

Freaking AWESOME. I just played with my friends last night, Apoth, FC, and Techy, it was really fun. The Tech does need some sort of boost, like Steel said, but still, amazing man. I had a lot of fun as the Apoth. It would be cool to have other races involved, like the Warlock (< Favorite Eldar hero) and the Kommando Nob. A lot of fun sir, good job!

small thing i did it is pretty fun.

Beta v0.2 is available:

[TheWeasel]

Can I get terminator on my force commander? :D

[OneProduct]

All his terminator wargear is actually ready, including a thunder hammer & stormshield, teleport and the ability to switch back to non-terminator armor. The only reason it isn't in yet is because I was having problems with the SCAR code when switching between the FC and the terminator because it gives him a different squad ID which makes it harder for me to keep track of units.

I will definitely be trying to fix that in the future.

[TheWeasel]

Just played a game with some friends, got to wave 250.

My warboss bugged out at one point for for some reason. He couldn't move at all, luckily I had enough rage to use stomp to unfreeze him but otherwise I would have been screwed and it happened again later on. May want to look into that.

Good job but an end wave would be nice, not as fun defending forever.

[dowshield2]

Its a great mod, sometimes the units freeze up while trying to use their special moves, so I changed the wargear in game and that made it work again.

[Steel*Faith]

Great changes in the new map, Tech Marine is a lot more fun to use. Although is there a way to make his turrets scale up as the match progresses?

Only thing missing now is my two favorites in DoW II, the Mekboy and Kommando.
Are you still going to add other enemies? Making single warriors, into broods was a a great change. Adding the Hive Tyrants were nice as well. Although what about making Tyrants rarer, but stronger, and have assorted biomorphs.

[liniv]

Insted if the amour upgrade you can have a health upgrade i think it is easyer to make

[OneProduct]

@ Units freezing
Yea, it seems the game has some problems with switching wargear so frequently and having certain toggled abilities which modify hero stats like battle cry and 'amma time. Not sure if I'll be able to do anything about that, you'll have to stick to workaround.

@ Turrets
Not sure if I can make the turrets scale, I'll check if I can give them leveling attributes or if I can make the "build turret" on the techmarine build stronger turrets later on. This would be very low priority though. It's more likely I'll make the turrets better at suppression so that even if they aren't doing that much damage they'll still be useful.

@ Armor upgrade
I'll probably replace the armor upgrade with orbital strike. :)

[liniv]

and it would be nice if you added the thing with the bodies i did to the public it only take like one min to do it

[OneProduct]

I've heard it takes up a lot of processing power, so I'm hesitant to do so because some people are already saying it's running slow for them. I like it of course but I have to keep the mod accessible.

[liniv]

ye for me it starts to lag a little bit on like 1500 kills on the screen so i think it dosent take that mutch power

[Steel*Faith]

The most important thing this mod needs is more diversity in the Tyranids, and random threats. Just like the SP defense missions, there were a variety of attackers, and it made things more interesting.

[UnnamedNewbie]

I love this mod.

I would love to see:

1. Random enemy IG spawns, these start from the start of the game and happen alot. 35 HP IG won't do much other than distract you, which is the purpose. Lots of them, though, and it probably wouldn't be too hard to do.

2. Occasional Horms with upgrade / occasional termas with upgrade

3. Occasional Barbed Strangler

4. Lictor as Boss Unit; Ravener as Boss Unit

5. If all else fails, more heroes.

Also, I was wondering how I could play this in a custom map?

[OneProduct]

I don't really know much about custom maps. You need to do something like -dev -modname [insert map name] right? Maybe if you rename your map to "hero" my mod will boot and your map will also be available. I really have no idea though.

I'll be adding a lot of diversity to the tyranids. Probably spore mines, zoanthropes, ravener broods with devourer, barbed stranglers and carnifexes.

[NarrowSnake]

I just don't get it, this mod is just incredible but when i go to play with others, almost no one is playing online with this mod, come one people, lets get some games going!

[Ciaphas Cain]

^ You want some online games? Alright, people, let's coordinate, i'm up for it!

[NarrowSnake]

Alright so I have today off, will be hosting games CA/USA preferred, as international players tend to lag me out

[OneProduct]

Beta v0.33 now available:

http://www.filefront.com/14186409/Hero%20beta%20v0.33.rar

More Tyranid enemy types
Added Mekboy
Fixed several bugs (of note; nids won't be invisible to people who are rank 0 nid)
Balanced a few things
Farseer gets seer council

See patch notes in the rar for more info

[TheWeasel]

Can we put in a set wave limit as optional for fun? =p

[TheWeasel]

Alright, just got done playing a game with my friends

It scar errored out at wave 230. I didn't save a screenshot sadly. We're not sure what happened but we could still play after it scared but no more tyranids spawned. Anyways onto feedback..

The new changes you've made are great, and the mekboy is awesome. However the mekboy bugs out. I haven't been able to pinpoint what causes it but it's one of the gears. Basically what happens is that he starts randomly losing health and energy until it gets to 0 at which point he falls down like he's been knocked out but keeps firing and can't be revived except for heals and laraman's blessing. He also can't be attacked when down. Like I said, I believe it's one some of the gear glitching out that's causing it because I was switching my gear around both times when it happened. I believe it's either the zapper ability or the bumpa shield. Everything else seemed to work fine. Hope that helps.

Nice changes on the teleport and farseer as well. The new tyranid types are also welcome. Throw some rippers in!

I guess the force commander will be cool once he gets terminator armor but right now he doesn't have very cool abilities really. Wish he got some cooler ones. Maybe an signum strike or orbital bombardment =D?. Also the sniper rifle upgrade on the techmarine seems to be pretty bad. One of my favorite features from Cope's mod is the barricade building with the techmarine, do you think you could put that in or something like it? It's nice to be able to build more cover.

Ideas for the commando that I can think of off the top of my head...Explosive shotgun blast, and just tons of grenades. I don't use him much in vDoW2 so can't tell you much.

Anyways that's it for feedback on the last release! Keep up the good work!

Hero Defense Beta v0.37 now available:

http://www.filefront.com/14195793/Hero%20beta%20v0.37.rar

Lots of changes, check the patch notes in the .rar

Biggest change is the spawning system. Enemies now spawn in a constant stream but there's a max number of enemies at a time. For example, at the beginning of the game the max # of enemy squads is 3 per player and as soon as you kill one another will take it's place. The squad size limit increases as you go on, to a maximum of 5.

To make the game less tedious and more action packed, the pace has been increased by a lot and the game ends after wave 50. Take a screenshot and save a replay if you can make it that far, I'd be interested to see it done as it's probably super hard lol.

I'll be online playing it for the next hour or so, GFWL = unusualfashion. I have to warn you that I have driver issues though and sometimes I randomly get a BSOD.

[OneProduct]

Hotfix v0.38:

http://www.filefront.com/14196509/Hero%20beta%20v0.38.rar

Fixed an issue where hormagaunts could become invulnerable if left alive too long.

Removed the impact graphic, terrain deformation and cover generation from zoanthrope's attacks as they cause the game to lag when there are too many.

[PztKrieger]

Game is synching out for us almost immediately with new patch =(

[TheWeasel]

We made it to wave 50 on the first go =p well, when it didn't crash

[Eihger]

Mine doesn't seem to play well with other versions of the mod. Product thinks its the mappacks I downloaded, really I haven't the slightest clue.. anyone else having this problem?

[OneProduct]

Hot fix beta v0.39:

http://www.filefront.com/14201167/Hero%20beta%20v0.39.rar

Mostly to fix the invisible nid bug which had returned by mistake.

[TheWeasel]

Haven't played since 3.8, what do you have planned next?

[OneProduct]

Not too much actually. I'll add the kommando nob and probably FC terminator as its own unit and fix the seer council SCAR error assuming I can figure it out.

This mod is kind of like a 1 shot experience thing by nature, any change at this point wouldn't really be major.

[TheWeasel]

Aw no bosses or anything? Being able to call in some back up units the longer the game goes, like venerable dreadnoughts and such? No cover placing system?

[OneProduct]

To do "real" bosses I would need to script AI. I could easily put in tougher enemies like screamer killers with barbed stranglers and venom cannons to replace the warrior equivalents at later waves though.

The dreadnought call-on actually sounds awesome. If I can't figure out anything better then that and orbital strike will replace the damage and armor upgrades.

I could quickly attach the ability to make cover to the WSE, tech and mekboy I suppose.

The thing about the mod is that writing the script (coding) is actually quick to do, it's modding the abilities and characters that's a pain because it takes so long and I have to try to sort of balance it.

The other thing that makes me less excited is that since this is human vs cpu it's kind of repetitive and has less potential than a human vs human mod.

I will put out at least 1 more update to finalize the beta status of this mod just so I can call it v1.0 though. :)

In the meantime, if you haven't seen it already I've made a footman wars mod that's human vs human that I'm trying to improve. Fewer people are aware of it because they made a mod forum on the official dow2 forums so I can't post in the general discussion forum anymore. :(

http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=231692

[TheWeasel]

Well, thanx for all the work you've put into it so far. It's come out nicely.

I agree that it can get repetitive but it provides a much needed break from multiplayer every now and then. I honestly think that a multiplayer mod vs. CPU and player and player mod tend to have the same replayability because there just isn't a large community for the player on player mods.

You might play with your friends time to time but I think it comes out to the be the same amount. Some successful multiplayer mods would be OMG and EiR for CoH. They owe their success to their established communities though because their mods are completely multiplayer.

Anyways. You said scripting things is the easy part? Well it would kinda take your mod to the next level if you had some random events happen throughout the waves.

Such as tyranid spores dropping from the sky onto your position that could be filled with anything, lots of rippers, a carnifex, some lictors, etc.
Several carnifexes spawning at a random location.
Your turrets get temporarily disabled.
Etc, etc.

Also, mini-missions tend to spice things up. For example a mission where you have to go pick up a certain item from the tryanid spawn, so you must fight your way there and then retrieve the item and it would give you a reward, such as an artillery strike or healing ability. It could even be some better gear for your hero (but that would be one the harder to code side of things right?).
Other missions could be like killing a specific unit that has alot of health some random place on the map, retrieving some AI troop that landed off course in a drop pod for a reward. Things like that.

[Reapergod36]

Seems, great but i dont know if i can trust it to be virus free

[Corp.Shephard]

I'm not sure if these are known bugs but I thought I'd throw them up here.

Anything that has a static boost to a basic statistic (X3 Energy Regeneration, -25% damage taken,-1.5 speed, etc) does not go away when the armor is bought, and indeed stacks with itself if the armor is bought again.

A good, easy example of this is with the warboss. His supa 'evy armor when bought four times will make him completely immobile, invincible, and unable to do damage (aside from his spiky armor). -100% damage done/taken and -6 speed.

Any hero with x3 energy regeneration wargear can gain truly absurd regeneration rates. As the Warp Spider Exarch I found myself bumping into this a great deal: all of his armors are very useful, so I would switch between the three of them. After a certain point, I no longer needed the energy regeneration one because he had probably x9 regeneration constantly. I couldn't spend enough energy. He did not however become immune to damage; I'm not sure if I used it four times in that game. Other than.

We've not run into any other bugs however, and have enjoyed the map quite a bit! Been enjoying the mod with some friends. Good work and thank ya.

Reapergod, you're kidding right? O.O And this mod is really making tha tmoney in my pocket burn to buy DOW 2 :D

wow sens i started with my Librarian it semes that a lot of people have added a librarian to there mods i am not saing your coping just wanted to mention it geat mod by the whay

[OneProduct]

The librarian was a community made hero, made by Heavenfall. I had advertised on the dow 2 forums that if anybody made a hero I'd put it in the game as long as it was around the same power level as the other heroes and different enough to not be a clone of an existing one.

That offer is good here too, if you're interested send me a PM and I'll tell you what I need.

[Ghost_828]

A very entertaining mod.

Version 1.06 now available:

http://www.filefront.com/14420591/The%20First%20Stand%20v1.06.rar

No new content, just bug fixes and some balance tweaks. Check the patch notes in the .rar for info.

Two things concerning the mekboy!

One, his electric armour no longer unlocks the Electric Shock ability, I see.

Two, the Mekboy's beamy deffgun does minuscule amounts of damage to the Carni's. Could I suggest you up the damage?

Thanks, and yeah, as usual, great work on the mod. I'm enjoying both this and Copes :D

@Kharrak

Electric armor is now a passive ability. :)

It's kind of like spiky armor but sends them flying away when they hit the mekboy.

[Mormoran]

Dude, awesome mod, it's freaking great!

Now, if you could only include the tyranid heroes as playable characters, that'd be sweet!

Could it be possible to add something like a store in which you could buy wargear/items? something like health regeneration or healing items, so you're not (almost) forced to take the apothecary as one of your heroes?

[TheWeasel]

You don't have to use the Apoth. You could also use the farseer or mekboy.
