[corncobman]

I provided a fix for that particular problem. Just download this and extract it to the Soulstorm folder.

http://www.mediafire.com/?cx5bt1739c460c3


Make sure that the folders are kept and that you overwrite the existing files.

[Mechmarines]

Thank you very much that was it.

[ProfMan96]

can someone pls tell me what CCM's fix...fixes? thank you

And 'till when will this mod be "sleeping"? I'd love to see what else u have planned for your mod

[corncobman]

It fixes a crash with the mod for people who can't start it up.

[Blackrobe]

I was wondering if it is possible to play the campaign in its default mode win conditions (which is usually annihilate or take & hold I think), rather than randomly generated win conditions each map (Apart from the default specific win conditions for some maps). As sometimes I just like to go through the campaign with the satisfaction of wiping out the enemy. Thanks and great mod.

[gerberman]

It is not

I was lazy and changed things that effect the campaign.

[UlrikX]

marstone
Well some AI patches are planned for November, got main computer up and running again, so I just to re-install SS and I can work on some AI. How is that for an update?

Any movement with those patches?

Being able to play with/against the eldar again would be nice

[marstone]

Yeah, I looked and looked, and when that failed, i tested and then when that failed i just let the AI slaughter each other. Sorry but I never found that mysterious AI error you had. This was from a fresh install of the Legions mod with corncobman's patch. The only error I have found, other then UI errors, is that there is Grey Knights in the SM's Army Painter.
So all in all I'm sorry that I couldn't find your problem and that this answer is so late, but that error is now where to be found, nor that power supply fuctioning...
But I can salvage my AI folder and upload it, if you would like.

[Master Necro]

I registered only to say that this mod is the best DoW mod I have every played!!!!!

You my friend have done a great job indeed!

And there aren't almost any redundant units at all, the only one are the Eldar Guardians because Storm Guardians are superior I never use the Eldar ones.

I have just a few suggestions about the mod and they are purely aesthetic ones :

1. You could switch the ard boys with those from the Tabletop roundabout mod because those ones have unique squad leader model and are uniquely voiced.

2. Maybe switch the slugga boys from the HQ with those goblin (sorry forgot how they are called those big nose workers) pirate unit from the Tabletop roundabout mod.

3. And maybe add the Ork mobile fortress also from Tabletop roundabout mod.

That was just my 2 cents. All the other factions couldn't be more perfect in my honest opinion.

And thank you again for this genius AWESOME mod!!!

P.S. Just remembered maybe the Great Unclean one from the Apocalypse mod could be added.

[UlrikX]

Thank you for looking Marstone.

I have actually just re-installed Windows XP from scratch and had a clean install of DOW:SS to play with.

So I took the Legions 0.92 folder from the downloaded RAR file, pasted in Corncobman's fix and then pasted the Legions folder and module into the DOW:SS folder.

Set up a 1v1 game, Space Marines vs Eldar, Valley of Khorne, Win conditions: AIHighspeed, Annihilate and Noflyzone.

And....

Other than you having a different installation copy, i'm not entirely sure how it doesn't crash for you when playing....

[marstone]

Lucky you, I will have all day tomorrow to try to copy your error (almost done with fresh install of everything including XP). Would do it today, but XP has more updates to do on my 3G internet.
And by the looks of your map, the game was along aways before it crashed.

[SpardaSon21]

From my uneducated guess it looks like something went wrong in BuildUnitPlan.ai.

[marstone]

Since that is a core file, it would plague everyone else. So I don't think that is the problem.

[UlrikX]

Lol, tell me about it with the updates heh.

My CD has SP3 in the build so it's not too bad from scratch, but there's still quite a lot since then. Next time I do this will hopefully be with a dual boot XP/Win7 system

-

Game time looks to be 13 minutes from the log by the way.

-

We as a gaming group would be really interested to see if you are able to find anything this time.

Otherwise, is it possible for you to upload your version of the mod's folder?

Many thanks and your time spent on this is much appreciated

[marstone]

Luckily mine had SP3 too, I currently have dual boot with Ubuntu.
--
I just got done with the game set up:
AI set on Easy (I saw that in your pic)
With your Win conditions

AND...

No error.
will keep trying.
P.S. do you know if the ranger can caputer points? I forget off hand.

[UlrikX]

Man....... Yes I had it set to easy just to test it out, but we've had it on normal as well, I can test under other difficulties tonight if you like?

Yup Rangers can capture points, just did a quick test for you

[marstone]

More testing might not be bad.
Huh, the rangers just danced around a crit location in my game.

[UlrikX]

Hmm, well this was a standard SP, i'll try the Relic and the Crits also.

Back in 30 mins, will try on Standard and Hard.

P.S. you know I was playing as Space Marines VS the Eldar right? So it was Eldar AI I was against.

[marstone]

Okay, I'll try some Eldar vs. Eldar matches, once I get Corsix up and running.
And yes I did SM vs. Eldar and got no errors except those dancing Rangers

[UlrikX]

Justs did Eldar Vs Eldar:



Same thing, 10 minutes in.

Doing SM Vs Eldar on other difficulty settings now

P.S. Rangers took all 3 types of location

[marstone]

Good news: Eldar vs. Eldar = Error
Bad News: Dunno what caused it.
Hypothesis: Something in the teching tree is causing it.
Reason for Hypothesis: I didn't see any advance troops.

Checking tech code now.

Edit: Yeah, fairly sure it is the tech and build order stuffs. I'l post up some revisions in abit

----------

http://www.gamefront.com/files/20137895/strategies.rar
try this patch.
stick it "C:\Program Files\THQ\Dawn of War - Soulstorm\Gerb_SS_Legions\Data\ai\races\eldar_race" or whatever your equalvent is.
Edit: Haven't tested it yet, so can't say it will work. BUT! This is what testing is for, right?

[UlrikX]

Downloaded and will test now.

By the way, before the patch it seemed as if it ocurred each time I attacked the enemy base..

----------

Unfortunately still crashes...


Just something I noticed, but it says, attempting to index local `unit_stats'

Is there a reason it has the ` symbol rather than a regular ' at the beginning?

[marstone]

hmmm... Just played DE vs Eldar, and won with no AI crash.
--
yeah that shouldn't be there.

----------

Looks like I will have to get my white board up and work the tech tree up from the ground (due to gerbs messing around with things it is all screwy).
Will take awhile... sad thing is, this isn't even a guarantee it will make it work.

[UlrikX]

If you need anything tested, you know where I am

[marstone]

thanks for being by testbed, I'll get working on it, in a little. People want me to bake some pretzels. Bah, people.

[kattwuver229]

hmm whenever i try to launch this from gamemanager it says "failed to activate requested game"
EDIT: nvm didnt see that patch XD

[marstone]

Got the tech tree reworked. Hope this makes it work for you.
http://www.gamefront.com/files/20140...trategyinfo.ai
it goes:C:\Program Files\THQ\Dawn of War - Soulstorm\Gerb_SS_Legions\Data\ai\races\eldar_race\strategies
say yes to the over ride.

----------

Just did a test, it seems to fix it. But another is is plaguing them, a resource error with the webway gates... I'll have to get Gerb to look into it.

[UlrikX]

Looks to be spot on Marstone, great job

I'll play another 3-4 games and see if it still holds up, but looks good in a 1v1 so far

---------------------

So just to confirm, apply both the first and second patches to the AI folders or just the second?

[marstone]

Install first patch, then the second patch.

[UlrikX]

Nice one, i'll get my allies to do the same Hooray we can fight Eldar again!

[gerberman]

whats the resource error on teh webgates?

[marstone]

if there is just a webway gate out there with no generators (maybe even to plus 1) the Eldar resources quickly diminish to nothing and they are unable to get anymore unless the webway gate is destroyed.

[gerberman]

Ahh... So maybe i need to make the power diminish an ability which kicks in only when there are generators on the field...

Ok!

[thewildgo]

What happens to this good mod?? its still alive?

[Whiteshield]

it got completed and released. duuuude.. check the completed mods section please o.o

[thewildgo]

I look and i dont find it in the completed mod list..... i see SteelLegion mod but no Geberman's SS Legions if u could sent me the link it would be apretiated

[gerberman]

I've not released anything since the last release... Especially not completed it. I am not modding at the mo, need to get some other bits sorted. Hope to come back to it though.

[jaylo138]

I've found out, after some painstaking elimination, why your mod ctd's the tau stronghold campaign mission after the opening cinematic & such a simple little thing.
It's because you've removed shield drones from the leader ext of the fire warrior squad blueprint.
The tau stronghold scar must place fire warrior squads with shield drones on the map from the start & since your mod doesn't have them it ctd's.

For people who play the campaign the file below adds the shield drones back to fire warriors so the stronghold mission doesn't crash.
Place the file in the SS: Legions mod folder in "Data\attrib\sbps\races\tau".
http://www.mediafire.com/?ud1puax76wuua4n

[Cucaracha]

I'm hoping to see more stuff from this mod. I like this mod a lot. Perhaps I can help in the future.

[UlrikX]

I'd just like to wish Gerberman and Marstone well in whatever they are upto at the moment and just mention that I am still around and happy to help wherever I can; if I can

Great mod, still enjoy playing it immensly

[jaylo138]

Great mod if your playing skirmish, but not so great if you don't play skirmish & need to get your teeth into a campaign.
I don't mean any disrespect to Gerberman but i've found another instance of bad, lazy modding practice.

He's given the chaos sorcerers a warp storm ability. This is all well & good but a warp storm ability is already in the vanilla game for the chaos stronghold mission & it isn't on a unit.
It's over the chaos base for protection & because Gerb edited the original warp storm files it actually destroys the chaos base instead, ending the stronghold mission very quickly.

It takes very little time to make copies of the original files & rename them, then use these copies instead keeping the original campaign intact.

[marstone]

Well, I got some small tweaks and such (including the campaign fixes) and the have been sitting around of the computer, so I thought you guys might like it. http://www.gamefront.com/files/21373...legions_93.rar It has my complete folder so the main changes is adding Catwell's GUO and some AI tweaks; there might even be some other things in there I don't even remember.

[jONES1979]

Well, I got some small tweaks and such (including the campaign fixes) and the have been sitting around of the computer, so I thought you guys might like it.

Thank You!

[UlrikX]

Oh that's excellent, Thanks Marstone!

Is the Eldar power problem fixed in this update?

[PsykoTenshi]

:nostalgic: Ahhh, I remember those times I used to play 0.3 like a maniac and exploited the imbaness of IG back then. This one was by far my favorite mod during that time, mostly because of the giant lasgu-- Swordshadow.
For the sake of those good old times, I shall play this new update!

[marstone]

@UlrikX
Sadly not, I could make a hot fix if you guys would like.

[UlrikX]

That would be a big yes from me lol
