Ultimate Apocalypse - 1.72 Released!

[Ewokz]

Well that looks amazing, literally cannot wait

Reaver = OMFG! SO COOL!

[Khorne_1984]

OMG!!!! I have no words to describe this!!! As I said in the last post, 2012 is really an apocalptic year!!!!!
I WANT THIS MOD NOW!!!!! BWAHAHAHA!!!!! Can't wait to slain everything with Daemons, eretics and Chaos! I wanna overwhelm the enemy with a HUGE green horde! I want to destroy the enemy of the emperor with an army of only titans! ... (and so on...)

Really, this mod is AWESOME! Thank you very much to ALL the UA team!!!!!!!

[Caeltos]

Any ETA on the download links?

[Gambit]

Any ETA on the download links?

Friend, please be patient. UA requires TOO much from the team - it is FAR MORE DEMANDING that most other MODS.
Moreover, Cylarne already said that the release will be in 2012 - plus this was clearly mentioned in both Tyranarmy's EXCELLENT videos (once again, way to go man!!).
It is a bit ..."rude" to ask for links within the first three days of the year!!!!!

Sorry for being a bit harsh, so here is my suggestion: Apply for a Beta Tester, and if you are deemed worthy (careful, Cylarne is a tricky and demanding ), then YOU WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO PLAY A PART in the making!!!

EDIT: Oopps, sorry man!

[Cylarne_04]

@Caeltos: http://www.moddb.com/mods/ultimate-a...the-crowd-soon

I just want to say that you guys will like 1.62.56 very much. I've just spent like 9 hours on it currently and gameplay seems flawless. The critical errors I just cleared, and I hope to revamp some of the old stuff with some of the ALPHA mod stuff if that won't take too long.

New units in next version? Yup.
Tyranid Mod 0.51b fixes? Yup.

Moreover, Cylarne already said that the release will be in 2012. It is a bit ..."rude" to ask for links within the first three days of the year!!!!!

Nah I think he means the pre-BETA stuff (1.62.542). It'll get too cured, and closest to ALPHA mod possible.

EDIT: So I'm saying goodbye to Hanov, it looks like he'll not be back anyways as he is no longer needed anyways.

[Caeltos]

It is a bit ..."rude" to ask for links within the first three days of the year!!!!!

There's a difference between asking/demanding for DL links, and asking when there's an estimated time of "arrival" when the links can be up. =|

[Cylarne_04]

This will not go onto page 89 will it? Not that I care anymore, hell take it to page 2056, but please don't.

EDIT: Oopps, sorry man!

[mcdimm]

Humies with more of em' badass-wagon. cant wait to unleash it. Very badass-nice!

keep the surprises comin

[PsykoTenshi]

@ Cylarne: I assume you know about the Stormhammer(s) in the previous page, so my question (though a bit obvious maybe, I really want to know) is: Will the Stormhammer Superheavy be included in the Ultimate Apocalypse mod?
I don't mind waiting all the way to the 2012 release if needed, having one of those in my armored sieges has been a fantasy of mine for quite a while now.

Chances are, no. Sorry if it seemed I ignored your post, I released something I shouldn't just yet... that mistake will never happen again.

Today did not turn out the way I wanted it to be, I choose to reply here because I cannot send replies to NINE people at once + MOD DB comments = 16:
1. Expected a lot less PMs today.
2. Expected a lot more donations today than 0, thanks folks.
3. Expected no rude PMs or show offs and mod put downs.
4. Expected a lot less people PM-ing me, "where is download link to the ALPHA MOD???" - NOT RELEASED YET. 1.62.56 is in production getting released this end of week.
5. Expected MOD DB channel to be more gorgeous of freindly comments.
6. We just showed the crowd one of the most private + awesome things we have. Looks like we'll preserve the other forever in our secret stash.

Looks like the Apocalypse Mod Team won't show anything else this awesome ever again. For obvious reasons why. Thanks for the rude PMs folks on MOD DB AND The relic news forums, well done!

[Ewokz]

Hey sent in a donation 30 odd minutes ago so its not all bad Whats this secret thing you unveiled? or did I see it already and it was the two AMAZING trailers?

[RevanFan]

Cylarne, since all the rude people will not wise up, I'd like to apologize for them. I'm sorry that people can be rude and nasty when you and the others are making greatness. I am a member of a mod team for a different game, so I know how it feels.

I know I and many others will appreciate your work and be patient. So, from one modder to another, don't let it bother you. If you do, you'll end up retiring like almost all of my mod team did while making our latest mod.

[Cylarne_04]

Oh. Well my mistake then slightly, yay. Ewokz, yer going on the board of donators too my friend. I'll find something extra by force then for the 1.62.56 mod, surely.

Whats this secret thing you unveiled? or did I see it already and it was the two AMAZING trailers?

Thanks but my mouth is sealed, I'll gladly tell you in a PM (Why not?) if you're interested?

EDIT: RevanFan: Don't worry bro, I'm not retiring. There is work to be done. I do not quit making the ALPHA mod, you crazy? Lol

[PsykoTenshi]

Sad face. People who can't read the entirety of posts (because it was said over and over that the ALPHA is private) and annoy Lord Cylarne make me sad.

I didn't donate yet because I don't have a paypal account, neither the information on how to donate to one. Also, the reason I didn't post in MobDB is because I rarely post anywhere. I think this thread is where I've posted the most in the whole internet. Additionally, I always had the idea UA mod is here, on Relic News. So I only looked for news on the Apocalypse here

Is to be expected that there will be some people who won't read the description, nor the readmes, nor follow the instructions, ever. Unfortunately there's no efficient way to prevent obvious questions. As corncobman's signature says: "Create something idiot-proof and Nature will create a better idiot".

A little extra thingy: Can I know that secret too please? I have a very curious nature.

[Ewokz]

Was Editting my post but I seem to have took far to long, so I'll just stick it down here:

Donations are one of the those tricky things that are nice to receive but you really can't expect them from people, modding being a free service you already provide means that you're not going to get many, the fact that DOW's got a rather small supporting group is also factor. Minecraft mods are one of the best examples for the amounts of donations compared to the DL rates, maybe $5 for every 20,000 downloads? But most of the time not even that, and its one of the reasons for the whole 'ad.fly method of money making problem' in the Minecraft community, which in more than a few cases has turned ugly with arguments, bans, flaming, trolling etc. from both sides.

Hopefully some sort of service similar to youtube for mods can eventually come along, providing add revenue for modders, and central hub for users to download and keep up to date with their favorite mods. Is a very interesting concept now that I think about it, but I guess it would require more newly released games to be modding friendly, which unfortunately doesn't seem to be the trend.

As for the rude comments there hardly unexpected, Internets full of assholes and pre-teens, still a shame though considering all the hard work you guys are doing and the decent content you're producing for the community.

ps. I'm most definitely interested in a PM Cylarne literally cannot wait for the mod, I mean DEAMONS AND REAVERS alone are simply epic on a scale unseen since the deamonhunters mod and that's not even taking into account everything else.

[Kandras]

Just signed up
all i want to say is I LOVE THIS MOD and ty for your hard work

regarding Release i'd imagine it will be ready when it's ready

[Gambit]

Just signed up

Welcome, friend.

[Cosmocrat]

Seems like somebody set up Cylarne a bomb :3 making him not happy anymore releasing the trailers and the resulting aftermath lol...

[Chaosbringer]

have i insulted the UA team with something?cause if i have,im really sorry.

[Kandras]

ty Gambit, glad to be here

[RMX]

Very impressive, Cylarne. That warpstorm and the Reaver look the best of the lot.

[cobaltlotus]

Haven't posted in this thread in awhile.. but I saw those trailers last night and forgot to say this:

THE EMPEROR SUSTAINS!

Crazy work UA Mod Team!
Can't wait to play with new titans and stuff!

[METAL GOD]

Fuck. It is assumed that PIGS "certain persons" should be grateful for the work done by this team, rather than insulting. In these cases you can only do one thing. Fighting fire with fire.

I would like to apologize to this wonderful species,the pigs, by comparison with "certain persons"

[IronWarrior42]

Constant harrasment on the order of "where r dl¿" seem pretty much unavoidable but ppl who say the kind of stuff thats been said to you Cylarne need to be reported and b& imho.

[Kandras]

It's free so why give the UA guys so much crap? the mod will be ready when it's ready
Play 1.62.542 like the rest of us and ENJOY it. Cylarne_04 and the rest of the UA team ty for an AWSOME mod, WE love the mod it's the reason i have re-installed then game

[Blackrobe]

Fantastic Mod, guys, well done.

[Jaguar-Lord]

Cylarne and tyrant have brought an awsome trailer to our ravenous eyes !! excelent fx, my wide-screen is gonna burn with the fury of the apocalypse !!

@Cylarne : don't get upset on the asshollyness of the internet, the modding gods are just testing you ! each time someone send you a bad pm just put him on the ignore list, he/she wont pollute your domain any more.
as a side note : you should be careful mixing money and modding, this is a dangerous and treacherous path...not only does it trigger animosity and jealousy in the modding community but a really successful donation flow may also put GW legal termies on overwatch.
my advice about the cashflow : keep a low profile.

longlive to the apocalypse !! May the End of the World last day never see a new dawn !!

JL

[Defenseplayer]

Since the trailer got released people are just so Happy over the Epicness that they can't wait. Of course we all got to wait and Everything takes it's time so People the mod come when it's done not before and the Team do all what they can, we shall not haste on them. Cylarne i'm sure your team got enough work and when many people write to you it can only be more worse right?

The trailers=EPIC

Mod=EPIC

what else can i say?

[GrOrc]

I see LoC and KoS in last trailer. Who gave official permissions on those models?

[Cylarne_04]

Hi GrOrc.

Permissions granted for both models. Specifically from MonkeyXXL and redid the OE of KOS with new textures, my Russian buddy named Jo for the guarantee of Echo's permission, FOK for their involvement in some creation of the LOC, and IronWarrior for his involvement.

Only personnel required is Andrei's and Melooo's, which would be easy as we are well acquainted. Catwell, the author of the KOS seems to be not responding to PMs for permission of KOS use in the Daemons mod and UA mod, which because of that, the release of the mod is delayed. But enough permissions are easily granted.

Do you want my help to grant you these permissions?

PS to all, I have 11 PMs in inbox, I did not read them yet so I apologize for the delay.

Constant harrasment on the order of "where r dl¿" seem pretty much unavoidable but ppl who say the kind of stuff thats been said to you Cylarne need to be reported and b& imho.

Not necessary though, I'm giving them one last chance.

have i insulted the UA team with something?cause if i have,im really sorry.

No. You need not an apology.

ps. I'm most definitely interested in a PM Cylarne literally cannot wait for the mod, I mean DEAMONS AND REAVERS alone are simply epic on a scale unseen since the deamonhunters mod and that's not even taking into account everything else.

Ok, moment please.

but a really successful donation flow may also put GW legal termies on overwatch.
my advice about the cashflow : keep a low profile.

Advise taken, my friend.

[GrOrc]

I am long waiting permissions from Catwell for KoS, and Thudo for LoC from "1000 Sons Mod". I surprised that I had seen these models here. You must have real permissions from Catwell for KoS model. Here LoC is not from "1000 Sons Mod" as I understand from your words, isn't it? Otherwise, you must have permission from "1000 Sons Mod" team. This is private famous Mod so lo-o-ong time...

[Cylarne_04]

Hehehe. Well I talked to Thudo already about the possible use of the LOC in the Thousand Sons mod, but he really is not interested in letting anyone use it yet in any mod besides private Thousand Sons mod. The reason because of this is...
1. The LOC is very far from finished. Abilities and "perfection" for the involvement of the LOC must be accomplished.
2. There is already a LOC in production by the FOK team with automatic permission as long as they are credited he said. Private talk with them is recommended.
3. The LOC from Thousand Sons Mod is being copywrited to not be extracted from the Thousand Sons mod like any other model.

I can provide you with this LOC if necessary. Permissions required for it is: Echo, Melooo, MonkeyXXL, Andrei, and FOK.

Btw, will you be using our models in the next TWM? You have our full permission.

[Gorb]

That is correct; Catwell holds the permissions for said files unless explicitly given otherwise. Now, Catwell is a friendly chap and I'm sure he would have little problems, but please don't attempt to dress it up like the KoS and GUO are something your team worked on. They are Catwell's models and Catwell's alone. The LoC is another story; I'm sure you obtained that via Thudo/the Thousand Sons team

Refer to the IP Flowchart in the forum rules for Adeptus Modificatus, Cylarne. If you don't have permission, you don't use the asset. It's as simple, and as final, as that.

EDIT: ninja'd. I didn't realise FoK's LoC had come on so much.

[Ewokz]

Cheers Cylarne, had a few empty days so I've probably been a bit too excited about the mod.

[thudmeizer]

Yeah the Thousand Son's LoC is not quite finished yet.. almost but not quite. I would probably use FoK/PoK's LoC right now as the TS one is the original TS team's piece and right now won't likely grant use of it for public release except from the TS mod project itself. However, if we get support for the TS' LoC and have it completely finished with an agreement that its completion can be used elsewhere we'll discuss.

[GrOrc]

Btw, will you be using our models in the next TWM? You have our full permission.

Your mod owe me. You use a lot of ready-made content from Titanium Wars Mod (TWM). TWM uses nothing from your mod yet. It would be strange to see any prohibition from you.

[Gorb]

I'd also like to pre-emptively state that the handbags can stay stowed, please.

This goes to anyone who wants to get the last word in against GrOrc. GrOrc, matters like this are best attended via PM or not at all. Thanks

[Predalienator]

So how complete is the mod according to the UA team target?

80%?
95%?

[Xaitan]

Well from reading back, I think the main hold up is the fact that they don't have permission for daemons yet.

Not much point in asking what percentage they are at, I would rather they take longer to release a spot on perfect update. Instead of being pressured into releasing early, and the mod being full of tedious glitches and bugs.

Great work UA, keep it up!

[racerking98]

I just have to say that ever since the 2012 trailer came out, I've been watching at least once every day (NO LIE!). I'm not to be rude, but I so can not wait for the download link to start working!!!

[Arkagunner328]

so i have some questions; first off when will the mod be released? 2nd will it have an installer? 3rd will i need any new mods for the XP, like the new nid mod?

[RevanFan]

so i have some questions; first off when will the mod be released? 2nd will it have an installer? 3rd will i need any new mods for the XP, like the new nid mod?

I can answer two of them. 1. Don't ask. 3. Yes, you will need the new 'Nid mod. Well, at least I think I read that.

[Xaitan]

I genuinely hate how people post before they read on the internet.

Seriously, how hard is it to read a few past pages to catch up with what's going on before asking stupid repetitive questions...

I apologize on behalf their behalf.

[Ewokz]

I just have to say that ever since the 2012 trailer came out, I've been watching at least once every day (NO LIE!).

I've been doing the same, its quite worrying

[Tomb Deathwing]

"The patient one will have the reward"

[InFeCtEdGuY]

[Cylarne_04]

Oh yeah I forgot, the next version of UA will be out tomorrow. I said this on MOD DB but not here yet.

Still haven't gotten to ANY Pms folks, sorry. I'm a bit busy.

[racerking98]

Praise Cylarne and the U.A team with the great news!!!!
