I think that's a Manreaper harry.

[horusheretic]

Tis indeed.

[Tyron]

I'm no good with names

[General Kong]

@harry ahh dont worry, it will be remembered for the day then..............forgotten like malice in a copyright infringment case

[horusheretic]

forgotten like malice

Malice for quake? I had that game.

[General Kong]

well i was referring to the supposed 5th chaos god, but whatever you prefer, the point still stands

but on topic: cannot wait for this, defo looks like it will be one of the big mod releases when its done, played FOK and loved it to the hilt, even modded it a bit myself and me and my brother played lan games like mad

[Grizzly Bear]

the wait... is.. killing.. me..

[Shuma]

Just fyi: Malal was the 5th Chaos God and he was screwed up due to copyright issues, Malice however is not Malal, he was only introduced in 2009, 2 years after the Chaos Space Marine codex and one year after the Chaos Demons codex. I assume he's GW's second go at the 5th Chaos God, and hopefully he'll be fleshed out in the next chaos codex.

[Joekid13]

hey horus i was just wondering if you were gonna bring back the possessed chaos marines cos i do miss em and i know you would make spectacular models as you did with FoK so i know WoA will just as good

[Grizzly Bear]

is it me or does it seem like the baneblade in retribution is tiny?

and ill take teh chainblade scythe any day on my IG LT. lol

[SirIronclad]

It is about 20% to 30% too small.

If they did the scaling "right", then you wouldn't be able to drive through most gaps on smaller maps.

[Thorno]

I am a bit confused as to weather we are free to download and use content from this mod for our own mods, as long as its a mod for Dawn of War II of course and we give credit, or we have to have permission from you or other members of the team.

Is it

"Free to use, but credits must be given"

or

"Models, textures, code, animations and other assets from this mod are available to edit and modify provided you have the permission from the mod leaders."

?

[MrBlazzar]

I tried play this version on the latest patch for CR and it doesn't work makes me kinda sad.

[horusheretic]

Its almost up to speed with being retribution playable and i figured out what caused random 6 player matches to ctd which was a big bug... so thats sorted.

[Grizzly Bear]

horray!.. cant wait.. ... you forgot the bring the leman russes?... what do you mean you forgot the leman russes!?

[MrBlazzar]

That's pretty epic. Can't wait to play it with retribution.

Edit: I was wandering if the OP download works for chaos rising patch v 2.6.0 (latest patch)?

When I try and get it to work I can start the chaos rising campaign but everything with Blood Raven textures is pure black not the normal look. Also if I try and play normal DoW2 everything of the Blood Ravens is black and after Davin Thule talks it says "Fatal Scar Error - Execution Paused" and then I can't do anything. Is this a problem on my end I can fix or a problem with the download?

[horusheretic]

its the mod, it was an initial taster release that failed somewhat horribly, that and i needed to know if other people could load/play it. Its already helped me figure a few problems so it was kind of worth it ~XD

[MrBlazzar]

Oh ok. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I did wrong. I mean it was funny when my devastator squad had 10 freakin people in it in chaos rising lolol. I would really like this to be released though would be so much fun.

[horusheretic]

GK weapons

[MrBlazzar]

Very nice. All look very close to the ones I've seen on the models of the grey knights from my friends Army.

[Tyron]

Looking good, will the grey knights be in the next release update?

[Khorney]

my body is ready for gk onslaught

[Grizzly Bear]

sexy.. cant wait!

[DeusImperator]

Looks nice. A tough question : will we get Jokaero to spam armies of monkey death ? :P

[Steel*Faith]

Highly looking forward to the Retribution release!

Sorry if this has been asked, but when will we likely see any new races from your mod? I'm really dieing to use the Tau, Necrons, and Dark Eldar in DoW 2.

Also, is it possible to get new units, like a Defiler, working ingame? Thanks!

[Grizzly Bear]

you know some new kill sync animations for units would be interesting to see with these models.. or some old ones.. like ive always wanted to see the dread pick a body up just like in teh DOW intro for number 1 raise em in the air crash em and smash them on the ground. or a dread attacking another walker like a kan and ripping its arms off or kicking something.. even attacking a tank like a evil pred the dread coudl grab its turret break the barrel etc.. something cool..

a Space marine like the first video.. where the SGT gets his bolt pistol hit outa his hand but then knocks the ork over and slices him in half from bottom to top? would be really cool to see such things later. or instead of the multiple swispes with the chainblade the its jsut want deep cut like in the intro to DOW 2 where the assault marines chops the eldar in half

[horusheretic]

requires new animations and coding them into the motiontree files properly... which cant do yet.

Looking for a coder or two. don't have much time to do all this atm :/

[Grizzly Bear]

maybe it wouldnt be a bad idea to look on the COH forums area cause the games use the same or close to the same engines? plus they seem the churn out a ton of models

[Khorney]

i can help with coding questions RE: implementation, though the slog work itself i don't have the time for unfortunately

[horusheretic]

Well any help is appreciated... Seeing as i have to redo the code again from scratch due to the new updates >_>
BLEH.

So for now i will just focus on the visual stuff and then code can be improved on later. The new DA chapter code allows for some sexy stuff to be added in. Go cult marines Though now my plans have to change accordingly :Z

[-Delta-]

Cool well glad to see your still working on it Horus thanks for the update!

[MrBlazzar]

Longer waiting is not always bad waiting. Sounds like your gonna be making this epic.

[horusheretic]

Space wolves visual mini update




http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7...6/screenshots/

Army painter pics ^

[DeusImperator]

Wolfity wolfo wolf!

At long last my favourite Space Wolves are in the game! Horray!

[Promythyus]

Damn horus, those look very sexy! Though it'd be good to see some furs going on them eventually

Speaking of code; You wouldn't have happened to have found a way to give squads multiple wargear upgrades would you? Eg. A plasma cannon upgrade and lascannon upgrade on the same devastator squad.

I remember nobody could do this a while ago, but you being the pro you are, I was wondering if you'd made any progress in that regard?

[horusheretic]

Not in the same sense as Dow1 way, but since retribution its improved a bit. You can purchase leaders and weapons separately enough, though I haven't tried it with anything more than two upgrades as its still looks like it is only leader/non leader based.

For most squads this isnt a problem, I just had upgrades use abilities instead equipping leaders that had the ability (Squad leaders wouldn't get as they dont have the ability but in chaos rising they would get it anyway ) Things like devastators and havocs would get one of each weapon.

And there is a pelt visual. look at the steam pics

[DeusImperator]

I was thinking about the melee CSM Mark of Khorne upgrade. it gives the champion, and him only a melta pistol.

Now if you have your squad randomised like 2 devastator-a , 2 devastator-b, and 5 devastator-c, maybe its possible to target them using the same script, so that you can have 2-2 of any heavy weapons ?

And yes, the upgrade system of DoW1 was one of the few things it was clearly superior in

[horusheretic]

well im not to fussed when it comes to devastators and havocs, because one of each weapon makes them really nasty in game XD

Another idea i had was using sim variables to limit squad choices (Like 6 troops 3 fast attack)
But i can't get it working :S

[Grizzly Bear]

awesome!!!!!!

[horusheretic]

Theres a few BT things there too :P

Oh, The gk marine common body itself is almost uv mapped just a head pauldrons and the loin cloth. Then any accessories later for randoms to make epic and rare armours. Since the army painter code, i decided to throw in a random gk visual set for a custom chapter ^_^

[Joekid13]

holy dooley i think im gonna cry now this mod is sooo sweet thank horus you tha man ... well im gonna wait until the actual realse b4 i say that hehe

----------

but still its been a sweet ride for me when i played the test version

[Hellcobra84]

great horus

[booni93]

hey a question
will the AI be updated to play with the new content of this mod in private multiplayer games. as in will the AI be hard for once because even on the hardest difficulty AI is easy to beat in dow 2 ,so will this mod make changes to how AI plays?

[horusheretic]

At the moment it will mostly be a visual mod, Once I sort out a few chaos things there will be a new minor release for retribution.

Steam group up

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7...412366/groups/

Benefits of this means you can find other users playing the mod in the group chat room in game and hook up when its released

nightlords XD

[Joekid13]

lookin sweet there horus bud wow the nightlord lord is awesome btw what god do the nightlords worship

[Hellcobra84]

amazing!!!

[horusheretic]

Nightlords are undivided worshippers, in game though... its just an army painter skin so if you choose the nightlords for example, then your army will look like them.

Same as thousand sons, world eaters etc. When it comes to the cult marines, they will have an fx aura so you can tell them apart.


just some base code to do and a public release

[Joekid13]

i dont have retribution so is this still gonna be for dow2 and cr

----------

as well as retribution

[DeusImperator]

The lightning effects look really great on him!
