[SS] CornCobMan's Fun Mod version 1.75 (07/05/2013)

[Cylarne_04]

@Corncobman: Did you previously mess with the Easy's resource rate modifiers? That is what METAL GOD hates. Easy ai probably gathers too low of a resource count. The standard DOW easy ai resource rate gathers at I think 0.6 of normal resources. I could be wrong.

[corncobman]

I'm 100% sure that I have not changed the resource rate at all. The only thing that I have changed is the rate at which Ork pop is gathered. I've compared the relevant files between my mod, Soulstorm and the Apocalypse mod and for easy they have the same values of 0.6, except for the Apocalypse mod which has 0.5.

@METAL_GOD - Don't worry, I'm not upset with you at all. Like I said, I don't know if there's a problem that needs to be fixed, because I don't really play on easy that's all.

[Crimson Blade]

There is an bug, when imperial guard (AI) faces against Chaos (AI), the imperial guard doesn't do anything, no building things or getting units... just an single techpriest standing waiting for orders. I noticed this only happens with Chaos only.

Edit: I fixed it.

[Rotlung]

I think Tyranid buildings in general still need the their selection sounds reduced in volume.

Also, spore mines take a horribly long time to build, why is that?

[OblivionSmurf83]

Corncobman, thanks for this mod; I love it! However, as much as they're funny, I can't stand the Emperor's Pointy Sticks in the campaign mode. Is there any way I could change them back to their default?

[RMX]

I also think souls generated from Slave Chambers take too long to spawn. How many does one usually need to get a constant flow of souls without having to reorder tortured slaves to pick them up.

[corncobman]

@Crimson_Blade - why what did you do?

@OblivionSmurf83 - The next release will change the SM in the campaign to a different colour scheme.

@Riotlung - I think what happened was the original Spore mine was a single unit, and I changed it to 4 and forgot to change the build time to compensate.

@RMX - I'll probably reduce the build time somewhat. I think you need at least 3 to get a decent soul gathering going on.

[Rotlung]

Noted on the spore mine build time.

I think having 2 slave pens to provide just a comfortable amount of souls without needing to constantly micro slaves is good. If just 1 were needed, it would be too easy to simply spam higher level soul abilities.

[OblivionSmurf83]

Thanks for the prompt response, Corncobman!

[Rotlung]

Reinforced Hull research from SoB Manufactorum covers the Loud Hailers ability until said research is completed.

[corncobman]

Gah - why do I find out after I packaged up the new version?


EDIT: New version is available

[MegaHurtzMPG]

For some reason I cannot install this mod for the last few versions. I keep getting the 'failed to activate game' message. I do exactly as in the instructions and it's a no-go. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but haven't a clue.

[Cylarne_04]

@MegaHurtzMPG: Could you report the warnings.log to Corncobman, maybe he'll help you out. Not hard to miss, it is located in the main SS directory.

[corncobman]

I've checked the latest update and it loads fine at my end. As Cylarne_04 said, look inside the warnings.log and post if there are any warning messages.

[RMX]

Oh, the Stormblade. I didn't expect it. I like the AoE damage of the BlastGun. It tears infantry apart but the damage on vehicles and buildings is a bit on the low side for its low rate of fire, I think. It's probably to compensate for the blast radius. Gotta test it more.

This makes me want to see the Ork Battle Fortress in this mod.
Oh, also it would be cool to see PoK's Tankbusta's with Tankhammer upgrades (after Orky Fort upgrade or something)

[MegaHurtzMPG]

Not sure how helpful this is because I get this error everytime I start SS, no matter what mod, dxp2, etc is loaded.

Maybe I have the file structure wrong? Again, I just extract the files directly to my SS folder, but just to make sure, it should look like:

Dawn of War - Soulstorm/Corncobmod/

and in the Corncobmod folder I just see a 'data' folder a 'locale' folder and the 3 .sga files: art, attrib and sound. Is that right?

[corncobman]

That's the wrong one. You should be looking at the warnings.log file, not the xxx_Errorlog.txt file

The files and folders look correct as far as I can see.

[Cylarne_04]

@Megahurtz: Um, lol. *facepalm*

While at it, try to only paste the lines that contain Mod Fatal Error in it. That tells you exactly what to fix.

@Corncobman: Did you find any new Daemon units yet besides FOK already known daemons? Are they in your mod as well?

[corncobman]

No new daemons yet as far as I can see.

[MegaHurtzMPG]

@Cylarne - thanks for the tip, douchey as it was.

@Corncobman - here's the serious-looking warnings:

That doesn't really help much as they are fairly standard (apart from the last 2 which for a Soulstorm mod shouldn't really be happening).

I think that you should concentrate at the bottom of the file as that's usually where lines showing the problem appear.

[MegaHurtzMPG]

How about this?

20:59:35.46 MOD -- Fatal Data Error for entity 'data:attrib\ebps\races\eldar\structures\eldar_support_portal.rgd' - the dummy entity 'data:attrib\ebps\game\relocation\relocate_support_portal.rgd' 'entity_blueprint_ext' must match the original 'entity_blueprint_ext' scale!

Looks like a problem I had before with an old version actually. Like really old.

I think there could be some leftover files somewhere. Could you make sure that inside the corncobmod/data folder are just the

ai
defprofile
game
scar

folders and some camera files and nothing else?

Also you didn't happen to combine my mod with any others did you? Maybe there's a conflict somewhere.

[MegaHurtzMPG]

I checked and that's all there is. I have not combined it with anything, but I do have a mod where I added many races to it, but it's seperate - that wouldn't mess anything up would it?

Is it just me or is this website having issues right now?

Also, I went into Corsix and changed the x/y/z scale that error message points at and then when I load it I get a different error:

[RMX]

This sums up how the forums are making me feel


Anyways, tried reordering the .modules: it didn't work.
Tried installing only BTMod and CCM on my new clean install: it didn't work
Are you using the latest public beta? This is driving me insane. Ah...I feel the warp overtaking me!

[Rotlung]

guard_stormblade and tyranid_spore_detonate do not have their entries in defprofiles keydefaults.lua
Tyranid building sound effects are still too loud.
Tyranids now start with 4 spore mine squads (leftover from testing?).

[Cylarne_04]

Ok, annoying it is to retype this message --- 3 times.

@Corncobman: How's the Stormblade coming along?

There was 3 other things I typed, but I forgot.

[corncobman]

@RMX - I downloaded it from dowfiles. I have no idea if it's up to date or not.

@Riotlung - the hotkeys are added to my local copy, I just forgot to update the one inside the zip file. Which buildings? I made sure to reduce the HQ, Gaunt Hive, Warrior Hive and Carnifex Hive volume by half in the last release, which I believe were the ones you mentioned before.

The Spore Mines were indeed left over from a test.

@Cylarne_04 - Stormblade is in.

[Rotlung]

Pretty much all the buildings. It might be just me but I didn't notice a difference... somehow.

[RMX]

Oh, I see now. You were using a different mod all along. The one in DOWFiles is not jONES1979's mod. The one I'm using (and most everyone I think) is his.

[Cylarne_04]

Now I remember my three things...

What more is there to patch up in this fine mod?
Would you add a research for the Eldar in order for all squads to... infiltrate? Just like Rangers infiltrating, only for all infantry squads. Expensive research of course. It effects slight balance though, which is awesome if you play Eldar.
Thirdly, I hardly play IG, but is the Shadowsword in there too? I haven't played IG since 1.63.

[corncobman]

@RMX - now I see what the problem is, as I suspected. The BT mod changes the chaos_dummy_weapon which is used to upgrade the Chaos Predator, which can cause a crash because in order to upgrade properly a few specific conditions need to be met. To avoid a conflict I can make the Chaos Pred use a separate weapon.

@Cylarne_04 - I'm not sure what needs to be patched. I only change things when I feel like they are needed. . Being able to Infiltrate the whole race is probably not going to be a good idea. Shadowsword is not in the game

@Riotlung - I'm going to try lowering the priority for the building sounds as well as a few other things and see if they help.

[METAL GOD]

corncobman: I do not know if it is a mistake but the bodies of dead Necrons do not let me through using lemans Ork

[RMX]

Wonderful. Thank you so much.

I was thinking. FoK's gameplay mechanics made transports incredibly useful and interesting because of the reinforcing restrictions, yet I never find myself fielding transports anywhere else. I was wondering wether it would be fair to give transports some kind of additional passive bonus to make 2-slot transports more appealing. This is specially true with all the Rhino (SM, Chaos, SoB), the Wave Serpent and the Wartrukk.

[corncobman]

I personally don't think something like that is needed. The fact that you can transport 2 squads is the sole reason you get them. Transports are very useful in large maps where walking would take a long time and the movement speed and the extra protection of transports are big advantages.

Plus a lot of the transports already have a few bonuses.

SM and Chaos Rhinos get Smoke Launchers which is very useful in a firefight,
SoB Rhinos get Laud Hailers which is also very useful as it does morale damage something shocking,
Eldar transports get great weapon upgrades and jump,
IG Chimera gets upgrades as well as weapons while units are inside,
Dark Eldar Raider has pretty good anti-vehicle damage, the Screaming Jets x2 and weapons when units are inside,
Ork Trukk have pretty good guns for a transport and the damage scales with the Shooty researches as well,
Tau Devilfish has infiltrate and jump.


@Metal_God - I'm pretty sure that Necron corpses let everything pass through them so I'm not sure why only one unit would be prevented from going through them.

EDIT - I just tested the Necrons and you're right, Necron corpses block other units, even though they shouldn't. Strange.

EDIT2 - It's now fixed.

[Rotlung]

Infiltrating the entire Eldar army? That's about as unbalanced as it is unfluffy.

Given that there are no Titans in the mod (nor should there be in my opinion, as discussed many pages ago), I can't imagine why a Shadowsword would fit. It overlaps a little too much with the Stormblade anyway (in terms of unit roles).

Agree on 2-slot transports, I also think they are good enough. I personally prefer most transports to have only 1 slot, but since squads like Tactical Space Marines already have their squad sizes reduced from vanilla, it doesn't seem weird to have 2 full squads emerge from a Rhino.

[Cylarne_04]

Now those are good points Riotlung now I think about it. I actually agree with Riotlung for this mod, on all three things, lol.

Ignorable suggestion: Maybe make vehicles explode on death? I mean like Predators, tanks, no walker vehicles I think should explode. I'm quite sure this will have no impact on balance.

[RMX]

Only things like Hellhounds and Immolators should explode on death. Maybe stuff loaded with plasma like the Stormblade itself, or ork vehicles.

[corncobman]

I'll think about making some vehicles explode on death. I think a lot of them do already, but there are probably some that could have an explosion.

[Rotlung]

I think most vehicles already had death explosions in vanilla, but I'm not sure about this mod. It appears to be probabilistic, and doesn't do damage, only morale damage and knockback.

Example: http://wiki.reliccommunity.com/index.php?title=Predator

Perhaps the probabilities could be increased across the board and slight damage introduced (or perhaps damage only for the highly flammable ones like Hellhounds and Immolators, as suggested by RMX).

[Cylarne_04]

I can think of the Stormblade, Hell Hounds, Immolators, Ork vehicles, Necron Monolith, all generators, Great Unclean One, Keeper of Secrets, Lord of Change, Daemon Prince, volcanic vehicles, Exorcists (shouldn't, although they do possess that flaming effect). They all can probably explode on death.

Also said with Restored Monolith, suggestion, make a death effect on the building too. The building makes a big boom when destroyed.

EDIT: Restored Monolith death effect is impossible because of the transformation extention.

[Count Bagatur]

Hello friends. Do you plan any new races in your project?

[corncobman]

The main race I want to add is the Inquisition Daemonhunt race but there's no official version released for Soulstorm yet. For the time being, I don't have plans to add any other races.

[Count Bagatur]

Okey, I understand. Inquisition is cool race.

[RMX]

I can't imagine why a Shadowsword would fit.

I think I already stated this, but personally I'd like to see it because:
- I play along the Steel Legion mod so both sharing the relic unit kinda steals the spotlight
- I find the concept of an superheavy tank hunter pretty attractive. I don't really care about titan units. I love Stormsword's area blasts though, but the Baneblade is quite good at being 'good against everything+damage sponge'

No big deal. I don't want to open the can of worms about titans again. Besides I think the Shadowsword is from Zany. And we haven't been able to get anything from him in a long time.

[corncobman]

Update.

Tyranids add-on here

[RMX]

Art file is corrupted. I downloaded it twice.

[corncobman]

I'll try again tomorrow.

[Rotlung]

Verified. Can't unzip the Art file.
