Mod: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2: Retribution - The Last Stand Rebalanced

[jonatannossrep]

General Indormation
This is my mod for The Last Stand in Dawn of War 2: Retribution. This is not a mod that is made to make the last stand easier, but rather making every wargear usfull. It might get a little easier, but that is sad, a little. It might be a little more unbalaced then expected since it's the first versiona and not really tested. It's always hard to think of all the ways it might get imbalanced.
The name of the mod is simply Warhammer 40,00: Dawn of War 2: Retribution - The Last Stand Rebalanced and is compatible with newest Dawn of War: Retribution version, (3.19.1.6123), with whatever dlc used.

Link and installation help: There will soon be a link(s) added so this mod can be downloaded. The Reason is because I want to have some feedback on the changes I have made, to know if there is some change that is not appreciated. Then I can change them and spare me some effort to have to make repack the mod again, upload and etc. The installation help text will be added when the mod is released.

Features of the mod include: Changes on the following wargear (no changes if not listed and +/- is on the original values, exampel: percent 50%-20%=30%, cooldown 5+2=7). The times when I have wrote something like: new dmg 15, it because i can't remeber the original value. The many dmg increases is most often: on melee weapon per hit and on ranged weapon per second.

The creator of the mod was... well me, only read a couple of tutorial and spend some of my time in it. With that sad you don't need to know that much about modding to do what I have, it's mostly the time you need. And creadits to all creators of the mod tools I've used. To lasy to list all though as it feel like every on knows who made them anyway as it stand in almost every mod released.

Great work

[jonatannossrep]

Thx And could you be so kind to give some more detailed feedback, maybe some bad too

[Bloodravage]

I remember modding last stand about a year ago and in doing so, my last stand characters became bugged and are no longer playable. contacting steam support several times they've said there is nothing they can do about it. Have you managed to find a way to mod it so that it doesnt disable and bug out your characters?

[jonatannossrep]

Really? Well there are other mods for last stand and they have not have that problem what I know. Is this only for the last stand or dose it crash directly on game start. The only problem I heard of is that any replacing of wargear may cause the game to crash because the steam store what wargear you are using and when you try to switch to mod/vanilla the game crash because the wargear that is equipped do not exist any more. You should try to restore the same mod you where using, preferable the same version. Then start the game, and do not crash, play a round with every character without any wargear, then remove the mod and play the game and hope it will not crash. But if this do not fix it do the classic thing, try re-install and removing of all mod, still crashing, apply exactly what mod you where having, start the game again, still crashing, I don't know any thing else to do. The same method apply to if the game crash trying to use a mod. I don't really know what might be the problem if else, I have to make detailed search on this before i release the mod, because I don't want to brick the game for any one.

Come to think if this mod was before the Tau update, and never updated after that, the game might always crash if you try the fix involving the case where its the vanilla game that crash for you because the "mod saves" are relying on the old content in the mod, and the Tau save are added in to the game save files, then the wargear that didn't exist before can't be found in the mod. But this should not be i problem i think, other wise I don't know if you have to add all the tau wargear in the mod and update the mod by yourself, but as i wrote this should not be a problem. With that sad try update to the new version of the mod if the fix in the above post didn't work and do the same thing as it but with the new version.

--

Come to think that the crash problem caused by corrupt save data can be prevent for any one thinking of using this now. The the crash problem can be prevented by turning off steam cloud and when you want play vanilla, remove the mod and download the old cloud files that hasn't been modified and then the stats hasn't been reset or changed. That should be completely safe.
