Inquisition : Daemonhunt. A mod for DC 1.2

[Chiu ChunLing]

It was just by way of illustration...and because I thought it was an adorable quirk.

[Jaguar-Lord]

and because the issue was both present in the two mods, more precisely both mod have issue that comes from the same parameters/xhatever setting.

thanks to Chiu for getting this to our attention, good to learned it have been fixed and how to do it if it was not fixed. isn't it what we should do? i mean "do"= thank people when they bring some insight, feedback and bug report ?
oh,--> ....and WOAA !!! Chui brings along a solution, that is even rarer !

long live to the IDH
long live to AS
long live to DoW modding

[Chiu ChunLing]

The first mod (as opposed to hex and memory cheating) I ever did was to make a hilariously overpowered super unit to cruise through each of the campaigns without having to even try (I wanted to see all the Soulstorm stronghold missions playing as each army, mostly). He had a bunch of weapons, infinite jump, and turned all my other units invulnerable. Eh...good times....

But in the process of giving him all the weapons, I saw that sometimes he acted pretty weird with regards to facing and shooting. It was probably because I'd grabbed one of his weapons off of a vehicle, but I have no way of knowing since I didn't form a project or anything, just edited .rgd's till they cried. I started going for a more circumspect style of modding after that, but I learned a lot from just going wild with it.

[Imperium Dog]

So any news to give to the IDH world?

[thudmeizer]

Imminent release, bro..

Just prepping the long awaited Dark Angels internal beta for the team..

[RMX]

BRACING FOR IMPACT

[thudmeizer]

..thats what SHE said.. Wah Wahhh!

[Gambit]

Very good new from both battlefronts (IDH and DA) Thudo. We are all very excited!

[Imperium Dog]

Great news. : )

[Nonalyth]

And then it was a month later.

[Gambit]

@Nonalyth: Patience, friend. Everything goes as planned. As Thudo said, it is a matter of priorities. The Dark Angels MOD is going EXTREMELY WELL, and I believe it is close enough (unless something unexpected happens) to public release. You will be amazed to see the quality, playability and uniqueness of the Dark Angels. It worths the waiting, believe me....
Sorry, I cannot disclose more, already said enough - Thudo will kill me! (or worse...).
I presume (though I may be wrong), the IDH will follow the same time-pattern, immediately after DA.

[thudmeizer]

Wait.. please.. dealing with Dark Angels mod build..

Also want to release IDH before the ceremonial 4 years after IDH for DC was launched (Dec'07).

It'll be WAYY worth the wait!

[Reaper R66]

Also want to release IDH before the ceremonial 4 years after IDH for DC was launched (Dec'07).

O.O If this and the tyranid mod are released at similar times, then DOW will be spectacular.

[thudmeizer]

And thats what we aim to do. Dec is the final month but it hasn't remotely helped I work 10+ hrs each work day on IT stuff. 2011 is all MS for me.

[RMX]

all these mods are going to ruin my social life

[Cylarne_04]

Aw, can you wait a bit to let another race join the fun?

EDIT: Nope, my mouth is sealed.

OFF-topic

Mine, is already ruined...
I am currently offering my humble PT services to only ONE mod (the excellent Dark Angels). But most PT issues are already found->solved there (we cooperate in perfect harmony - thanks to Thudo).
So it is time for me to dip my claws to the UA!! And given the Ultimate proportions of the Apocalypse.....good bye social life!!
(not to mention that I will also try to help JL with Darkness Within!...)

YEAH!

EDIT: Guys, after some projects are done, WE SHOULD NOT STAY THERE. Private gaming is OK, but if we could take it to a larger scale..... And I do NOT mean simple hamachi multiplayer...
The DOW1 playing community is still very large and most of us want a new challenge form our favorite game!
I am formulating a plan, and will discuss it with my "superiors" when I have something solid in my hands...No promises, but stay tunned...

@Thudo: By the way, I think that the thread's title should change to "...A mod for SS 1.2"...

[Necronius]

What's the status of IDH for Soulstorm? Is it almost ready for release?

[thudmeizer]

Yes.. first week of Jan...

[xchaos99]

where do we download this mod

[mdcertainty]

Don't know what you mean xchaos99 the link in the 1st post is still active so go grab the DC version of this mod, the SS version obviously hasn't been released to public yet.

[Godlike_Power]

Just wondering, aside from the SS release will there be an update for DC version? Or is it the end of the road for that one? Just asking as I no longer possess SS.

[mdcertainty]

Not sure up to now nothing is planned AFAIK since the DC version back then was final. Thudo's idea is always walking forward as I know him since DC is lying behind us, sort of, I guess that's it then for DC.

But not on me to say so it's just a guess I'm pretty unimportant.

[thudmeizer]

Yeah sorry the delays.. just got tons of sh*t going down... I know I said just before Christmas then last week... sorry....

[Imperium Dog]

It is okay we love ya anyways.
In a non gay way of course

[Cheesenium]

Nah, its alright, i have been waiting for years for the SS version. What more of a few weeks or months can hurt?

[Ogra_Chief]

Thud, you take as long as you need. I have waited this long... I can wait a little longer. Thanks for all the hard work Thud.

[Cucaracha]

I wonder if you'll make flying unit for SS, if yes please concider the Thunderbolt. The tyranid devs are working on flying unit. Otherwise I feel it is incomplete.

[Necronius]

hope everything is going fine with the mod! looking forward to playing as new revamped Daemonhunters

[RT2]

Patience is a virtue,
We are waiting.

[Count Bagatur]

Great mod. Its one of my favourites.

[masterslay]

Hmm. just wanted to post cause it has been so long time since last news from thudmeizer, that the mod wont show up in the completed mod archive :P.
Maybe this should be moved to almost finished mod archive .

[Imperium Dog]

Any news on this update guys?

[thudmeizer]

I have the final code now from the team so if I can get off my arse and package it all up its then ready for a global launch.

[Reaper R66]

Sweet! Will there be a changelog by any chance to see what exactly got updated?

[Black Templer]

Yes this is beatiful xD

[subspace5000]

Wait, there's a new ID version?

Sweet. Will download

[guardsman lover]

Dropping by to say hi.

[ForumBarry]

Is there an ETA on this, please?

[Heretic]

Please don't ask for ETAs, many modteams prefer to keep it under wraps in case of delays. If there was one, a team member would have said it.

- H

[thudmeizer]

Its ready.. needs to be packaged up, uploaded, new forum page created. Done.

Now if I can get off my tall lazy arse and find some spare cycles to do that. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

[RMX]

well, thud?

[thudmeizer]

Sorta insulting, bro..

..but I understand the frustration..

[ForumBarry]

Thanks for the update, thudmeizer and for your continued hard work in the DoW modding community.

[RMX]

I think you got me wrong. :<

I was asking if there isn't anyone else working on this who could get the load off you

[thudmeizer]

I think I need someone from the IDH team to build the front-page thread with graphics and everything else like Compiler did years ago then thats half the battle. I'm handling final QA, packaging, and distro just like Steel Legions. I need that front end page here on RN created like Compiler then all I need to do is provide the d/l link once my piece is done.

[Hollow]

Uh, maybe it has been asked, but could it be possible a changelog with all the changes made? (specially those related to balance and teching).

Been looking to this so perhaps soon I might be able to do some extra work, if you know what I mean Thud *wink**wink*.

[fuggles]

Thud, you made need to ask a moderator to just add the link in as Compiler is long gone - that or just start your own SS version thread.

[jONES1979]

Thud, you made need to ask a moderator to just add the link in as Compiler is long gone - that or just start your own SS version thread.

He don't want to create own SS version thread cause 1) it's still takes some time 2) it will oblige him to support first post and that's thread by himself in case of next IDH mod updates, etc. Thud is extremely busy last few years with other projects and tasks, so it is a good decision to shift responsibility for Public Relation duty to someone else from IDH team

Uh, maybe it has been asked, but could it be possible a changelog with all the changes made? (specially those related to balance and teching).

I suspect that it would take a very long time. There was about 6 internal builds during about 3 years since last public release, each build with large discussion, change commits and reverts, etc. Even a reading of all those threads takes hours, not saying about compiling it to a summarize page. You better ask Thud to get access to dev. private forum and read what are you interested

[thudmeizer]

Yes and we're still finding real MINOR tweaks to IDH but this seriously needs to stop as you've all been waiting for this signature DoW1 mod since the last one in Dec'07.
