What in the...
Profman is alive!
I'm so glad to see you "back"!
I have no idea of what may have driven DarkSoul69 to post that kind of news on ModDB but...
It seems the UA mod team got themselves a new life-term slave!Originally Posted by DarkSoul69 on ModDB
You should probably revise the first post to remove the "Please read this." It links to that screwball's idea of a joke.
Go DeMarcus Ware!!!
Go 'Nids!!!
*gasp from the audience* It is I!
Glad to hear you're not pushing up daisies. Do those even exist in 40k anymore?...And it's not a compliment, it's a fact. There's a difference!
At first,i thought profman was truly dead,but when i continued,i realized it was fake and i was like LOL.Who would though that there are demons like Darksoul.
The tide of Chaos stretches even further!
Whos the frakker thats spreading false rumours? Quite dangerous to you (frakker)....you might find that the Emperor has a extremely nasty sense of humor..
Glad you not gone ProfMan96.....Emperor protect you always.....eh.... so when is the next release
When fighting for their homes and loved ones, the meekest civilian will stand their ground like a Terminator.......
Seriously? What brings people to do such things.
I am glad to see everyone here is alive.
Ah yes, t'is nice to see so much support.
CCM: I meant to say that I adore/enjoy your mod but for whatever reason my fingers decided to put a 'question mark' xD

NOW BACK UP AND KICKING! BETTER STORIES AND MORE KICK ASS TRIBUTES TO COME
ProfMan96, you should live until 40 000 year at least!
Hi ProfMan96! I'm glad to see you're alive!
Long life to the UA team!!!
@jONES: I do hope so
@Khorne: Indeed.....
Anyhow people, this is getting out of topic and I urge you to keep it mod-related....if even slightly
So what still need to be dome in the UA mod?
More models?
More fixes?
More maps?
Or Less?
----------
what about the idea of adding a seer council to UA using the old Farseer? as the seer with a selection of Warlock as base units for the squad?
----------
RMX:
We talk when we get the chance.You guys seem te be always working on a million models at the same time. Is there an organized assembly line or do you just work on whatever you feel like?
I found that it may seem in-coordinate. but it usually isn't.
It is better if the freedom of expression is utilized to reduce the chance of modellers becoming disenfranchised.
As you would of seen by my facebook I have lots of ideas and am slowly working through them.
Malcom_foster@hotmail.com Photos
from recall there is only a handful of developers in UA mod that can get models ingame and each of them rely on others to help with getting the knowledge they don't have.
If we worked on a Linear/diagnostic approach instead of a multifaceted/holistic approach we would lose developers faster.
Its like working on a model and chatting about it at the same time and gaining knowledge of how to get it sweet to go ingame.
As a developer that is a much more stimulating environment.
As can be seen with some other mods, they lose members and the mod goes into hibernation if a linear path is taken to development.
Look after yourselves.
Hm... I see someone likes to make bad jokes... Well, in any case I'm glad that it was indeed just a joke!
rt2 i said my wishes,reguarding maps did you find the way
a) to increase map sizes
b) make destructable terrain
Does anyone want to learn how to do WTP(team colouring) in texture tools 1.9?
Does anyone want to learn how to create New FX through FX Tool?
Does anyone want to learn how to rescale textures as vectors in Flash MX?
Raster -> Vector -> Resize -> Raster.
Does anyone want to learn how to Kitbash through 3ds Max?
Pm RT2 if you are interested.
----------
a) I haven't been able to scratch the hexeditor or fileformat editor to alter the sizes of the maps in DOW.a) to increase map sizes
b) make destructible terrain
I might be able to now that Cyclarne is taking a recovery session.
b) destructible terrain
Ref:
http://forums.relicnews.com/showthre...ctible+terrain
Is used with created maps with a set of objects being able to be destroyed through the group they are assigned with.
Chiu ChunLing Has done lots of works and understands it best.
If approached he may make a tutorial that makes it more understandable on how to group objects in maps you make in ME.
Also the scar is beyond my understanding, but I believe if you ask Chiu ChunLing he seems to communicate happily about his abilities and might be able togive you the desired knowledge.
I might also suggest getting Adv. ME as well.
You know this reminds me of a story; Alfred nobel the man who created the nobel prize was a rich inventor chemist who invented a type of explosive powder, one day a French paper published a false obituary of him and he got to see how the world reacted upon his death; needless to say this revelation caused him to do great and many things like the nobel prize.
Needless to say Profman it’s good to have you back and I hope you continue to do great things with the apoc mod.
@the mod I don’t feel that the IG should be able to deep strike the baneblade varients as it takes away one of the primary weaknees of the baneblade and that is that it is extremely slow.
~Cheers
@ inharntdispoile: I think you're still playing an old version of the mod since IG cannot deepstrike superheavies on the current version.
Which reminded me of this.
Installing the latest patch over an old 1.59 version won't magically update the whole thing, you need to do a clean install of version 1.62.59 of the mod (you can find the installer downloads under the "Complete Collection Downloads (Full versions)" spoiler) and apply the latest patch over that install. Then you'll have the latest version of the Ultimate Apocalypse mod
profman i know you might not know me so ill intro myself im joekid13 and this mod made regular ss like a chump but its kinda wierd that this darksoul person would say somethin like this i smell something fishy goin on here dont you?
----------
back to the mod stuff i was wondering didnt cylarne say that the grand release was in march
because if it is then ill be looking forawrd to it
well that and the fact im on holiday for the next 2 weeks so no school
I was once like you thriving on life, living large is what i used to say but now im a necron and all i can say is: I can never be bargained with, I won't see reason, I don't feel pity, or remorse nor do i feel fear and i will never stop until you, my human friends are dead
I'm back guys....Since the development of ua is in progress...Fallout New Vegas has Stealing my soul recently , unable to catch the internet >.< LOL...
Anyway ..What i miss??
@ Tomb Deathwing: read pages 101 and 102? If your answer is something similar to "too long, didn't read", I'll get you a quick lazy resume: Cylarne is injured due to a car accident (he's fine, but his hands aren't) so that's the reason the UA mod development is currently sleeping. Almost right at the same time, someone under the name of DarSoul69 thought it'd be a good idea to post Profman was dead on ModDB. Which wasn't true, Profman is well alive, but many of us got quite scared for a moment... (shakes fist at DarkSoul69)
@ Joekid13: And because Cylarne is out of commission for the moment, I really don't think the grand release will be this march...
mod is sleeping? NOOOOOOO

Im a pretty patient guy so I'll be waiting and send my regards to cylarne hope he gets better til then ill be finishing my own story
Guys i know that there is some controversry over it in the tabletop version of the unit but now that the doomscythe has been created for the crons, can they get that as their flyer unit too?
ya ya i played that map,not what i meant to be,i wonted map objects to be destroyed as in dow2,as cosmocrat modelled Lifta Droppa do we need
Battlewagon??
Oop my bad.
Ive had contact with Chiu, and you should of got my PM.
I need to investigate the map destructible terrain and listen more to Chiu.
i think we have an ork battlewagon man, but go for it, the more battlewagon bases the better.
as there is lots and lots of battlewagon variants, if you check out epic(board game) or final liberation(PC Game).
Since orks use a mish-mash vehicle construction, they are not as universal as say SM vehicles.
-Gibletgrinda?
-LungBursta?
-Skullhamma?
-BrainKrusha?
-Gutrippa?
-BoneKrusha?
-Bonebreaka?
-Bowelburna?
-Gobsmasha?
-Spleenrippa?
-Kill Krusha?
Are just some examples.
And if you check out final liberation, you will see they are all built on the same battlewagon and looking dodgy.
being built on different battlewagon variants gives them greater diversity in the Orkish Armie.
So go for it man.
----------
I'm just optimizing some hex'n'tex models.
----------
I got an orkish idea.
If we do get these ingame and need a building, we might be able to modify the old Ork stompa into a Big Mekz bldg, so it could build these variants.
Having the hamma move up and down during its building animation.
Possibly even having the stompa bldg, upgradable to a mek stompa. It haz Hamma.
Thoughts?
----------
you all know if you gte bored with waiting or tired of seeing nothing you should head on over to ModDB and check out teh model development section in images.
Link in 1st post in this thread.
----------
I hope so.Guys i know that there is some controversry over it in the tabletop version of the unit but now that the doomscythe has been created for the crons, can they get that as their flyer unit too?
There is a slow call for flyers for every races.
Whether it be proxy flyers(thunderhawk/orca) or SS flyers styles.(hell blade/fighta)
Hope Cylarne will recover soon,Im looking forward for the grand release
Okay so I have heard stories that the emperor class titan wouldn't be able to be ingame?
How about is the emperor is there from the start with missing weapons and crew and in scaffolding.
Your purpose is to get it working again and crewed.
You have to generate insane amounts of resources to be able to repair the imperator.
The there is a special set of say 10 researches you need to use to be able to get a crew for it.
Weapons on this scale would not need to move. Just make the whole map visible and have the weapons with unlimited range?
The whole map viewing works well with tyranids and witch hunters.
Insane weapon ranges work great as well due to the sheer capacity of this unit.
Imperator super-superstructure?
Thoughts?
Yeah, but the reason why the Imperator titan won't be in-game is because it's to friggin' big. Have you played the campaign on Winter assult, where that kind of titan takes upp almost a whole map? Or even just Dark Crusade, where one of it's main guns lying in Victory Bay is bigger than a Warhound.
I was sceptical about the Warlord, but I can't see them doing the Imperator. Even as a superstructure, the thing would basically have to lie down just so that you would be able to see it's head.
The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.
@RT2
Have you ever player supreme commander? what you are suggesting is essientally a "game ender" for IoM and perhaps chaos forces, no up to warlord class titans is fine
@inharntdispoile: No I actually haven't played that one. But I thought it might be feasible.
Does anyone want to make destructible terrain maps?
PM me if you are curious.
@Demetrius: I have had more contact with Chiu and I am beginning to understand the level of work that would need to be done to make Maps wit destructible terrain.
It seems feasible that you could get a previous map and Create Egroups for the purpose of assigning them the destructible scar.
Oh and if you are worrying about texturing the vehicles, try not to, as it will come to you in time with patience and communication.
Same thing happened to me with burning things in max.
I made a couple of hundred kitbashes then got other knowledge of how to help this mod develop.
fx creation/editing, WTP work, Hex'n'texing, DDS work, Iconifacation, Map making, Etc...
So mesh away man, mesh what you feel like. Then mesh some more.
Try not to get caught up in the process of slave to Mod. or worrying about not having many models ingame.
Its the experience that will help you the best way.

ok,as mod is delayed i played yesterday,with chaos,titan building have pink icon,and where are chaos termintaors and deamon prince??what reasearch slanesh tehentze,etc.
I believe the terminators come around with chaos undivided Mark.
I also believe that the DP is the upgrade for the Commander undivided Mark.
I might be mistaken.
Are you getting these PMs I am sending man?
I am tempted to make up a set of objects to go under the terrain that wouldn't show up or disrupt the view of the maps.
50/100/250/500/750/1000/2500/5000/7500/10,000 health objects. In a pie chart shape.
Thoughts?
I know this mod is hibernating, but I'd like to report a bug nonetheless.
I was fighting Dark Eldar as Khorne Chaos and my maxed-out listening post was not attacking a Ravager. Upon trying to manually attack it, I discovered I cannot target a Dark Eldar Ravager with a listening post.
Here are the specifics of the battle.
Player- Chaos: Mark of Khorne
Computer 1- Dark Eldar
Difficulty- hard
Map- Deadman's Crossing
Win conditions-
Annihilate
Hardcore
Game Timer
Massive Battles
Can someone confirm this?
yaya i get mails but i wont do anything about maps,you send a roman.
guys how can i disable shadows in soulstorm? i cant seem to find the option

i cahnged antyalaising dont see any changes except,sharp letters,what can be improved by changing this values???
im guessing changing shadow blob to 0 will remove shadows which will improve preformance by making less things to render?
anyone wanna confim that my thought procees is right?
@Demetrius: LoL Man, Did you get your terminators and DP?
A Trick is to have 5 hqs built, pause the game and click on a different mark in each hq. "un-pause"
That should give you access to all units for all 5 marks for development.
----------
@Xpwn3ntial: Map- Deadman's Crossing My map of choice too.
I mass infantry around the strategic location at the start and send in flyers after that to soak up damage while the infantry is upgraded to heavy weapons. Bringing in titanic units to support them when buildable. Then walling off teh entryway to my camp when I have the resources and turrets as well.
All the while trying to capture resources and upgrade listening posts.
I usually start with 3 infantry Buildings so there is a constant cycle of troops.
How do you go about it?
I start with two infantry buildings and sprawl across the map like chaos is want to do. When I get Berzerkers, I start the offensive against their choke points with Predators giving lazer support. I then have to just hold them off until I get all the upgrades I want if I feel like taunting my opponent.RT2:
How do you go about it?
@Modders: Plague Marines still show being able to be possessed by Bloodthirster.
It'll be sweet if someone can add a critical location to the map "Assault to Dark Fortress".
Was that Ravager on negative cover? If that was case, it was a game engine error with no solution as far as my knowledge gets
Try playing extensively on Deadman's Crossing (2p) and you'll see this over and over on the fight for the middle critical location (I saw turrets not attacking infantry in range, tanks charging into meele range with buildings, and many other tactical disgraces, and in several mods).
@PsykoTenshi: Son of a gun, you're right. It was in negative cover. Well, I'll just avoid Deadman's Crossing for a while, then.
Or, if some heroic modder with mapping skills would dare, make a "negative cover-free" version of maps which have negative cover? I am certain that'd alter the balance of some maps, but in most cases, it'd make them more playable than before.
And regarding gridkeys:
They're delayed again. My apologies. Real life got in the way this past week and I happened to be so smart as to choose that time to make a full reinstall (windows, software, games, everything). Due to many unexpected issues, it took me a record-long time of three days (usually I get it done in 6 hours max). The other times I could have worked on the gridkeys, I was just lazy/forgot/procrastinated.
The good news is that I came up with a system for taking note of the hotkeys' location very quickly by now, so each race takes me about 1-2 hours to put on .txt reference (since I can't memorize where each button was). Thing is I only did Chaos and Dark Eldar by now...
Still, worry not grid lovers. I will finish this project. But I'll continue tomorrow because now I must sleep.
im interested in making a necron mod and i saw a picture of the triolith is there anyway i can get a hold of the model with compiled rgd's (i hav a tough time with those dang rgd's)
----------
also are there any people who have created the lychguard/praetorian, barge, and overlord
my models and placeholders are rather awful
thnx
The Triolith is Cosmocrat work :3
About lychguard an else I have only seen these in the DOW 2 modding forum
@ullneverknowwho: Have you got pics of your place holders?
-What is the issue with creating your own versions?
-That way there is no Intellectual property issue with what you do and every chance you will b praised for your work.
@darktetor With the DOW2 Forums, would they be willing to submit models to be used in a DOW Mod, or are they above DOW Modding?
-I know a couple of DOW2 modders Have come over to DOW due to the limitations of the DOW2 engines.
-Also as I know Necrons are called for in the New Codex to boost the ailing Necron gameplay.
@PsykoTenshi: That's the benefits of negative cover, it gets a little crazy in there.
-you need to micromanage your units to be able to win the centre. Its a challenge I have learned to overcome.
-It is what Deadmans Crossing is all about, the insanity in the middle. also there might be a line of sight issue with the river being much deeper then the resource positions on the banks.
Either way I love it and can massacre it with the strategies I have developed. Its about having many strategies for many situations/maps.
How are we going to be with destructible terrain and getting new strategies around it? Or with the walls and gates that are coming in and the strategies around them in different maps? Deadmans Crossing is how I would see trench warfare if it was implemented. And trench warfare is very messy in real life, tactics are overdone by sheer push.
interesting thing aeonic orb and his power i burned all orc base at once,olready said to cylarne this mod have to much clicking i would reduce that
1 if i have lets say 20 turets,i need to click 20 times to upgrade all to missile turet,why not click on 1 turet and all upgrade to missile turet.
2 same thing for weapon upgrade and listening points.
or to make gun turret and missile turet as separate turets.
you may have to get used to clicking man.
Because at the moment we only have the two build lists, building a total of 24 bldgs.
To get more playability in teh engine, more bldgs might need to be upgraded to produce lots more units. Not the mod but the game.
Attention UA team!!!
Create credits section on your start page on Mod DB. You have to respect the work of other DoW modders. Your mod has very little independent content. It's true. A lot of ready made stuff was taken from many other mods by your team. For example, you use over 80% 3D stuff from FoK Mod, over 50% ready OE-code from Titanium Wars Mod (and many other stuff too). So you MUST create proper credits section on your Mod DB start page (like here on Relicnews forum). People have a right to see your true contribution to the DoW Community work.
If you will not agree with this just demand, then you will be banned from use of a large part of the free content of DoW Community.
See credits section of CornCobMan's mod as an example of good correct behavior...
