Beginners Guide (rules/tutorials/hints)

I don't think there are any released yet, but eventually there probably will be.

[demiarch]

Yeah, that's what was thinking. :[

Hopefully there will be some patches too.
Finally fix that Tau campaign error. D;

Quick question...
If I make a map for the default "Dawn of War - Dark Crusade" mod when I select it at the new map thing, will I be able to play it on the "DoWPro DC" mod?

[ImperatoMalleus]

it shouldn't be a trouble imo but you wont have access to the DCpro custom assests like the new units or object or anything under the DCpro mod umbrella (anything specific to the DCpro/data/.....)
i know that any maps developed under DC vanilla in the Mission Editor can be played in another mod as long as the mod calls upon the DXP2 one.
If you want to be sure just move all your custom map files from
DXP2/data/scenarios/mp
to
DCpro/data/scenarios/mp

hope this help.

is this related to the other post you made in the main Adeptus section?

[Jaguar-Lord]

confirmed, Imperator is right.

[Ghostninja]

yeah, cheers.
The help is really useful, thanks

i tryed to find 1.41 a patch and downloaded it when i ran it. it did not work

"you are patching the wrong version" come up when i try 1.10 or "this version 1.10 cannot be applied to your dawn of war"
1.41 installs as normal and then says "The patching system detects that critical game files have been modified" (Moblise for war mod)

im not sure what i have to do

to i have to delete it and install again the re-patch?

all i want to do is map

why is is so hard to install a basic map mod let alone use it (Dark crusade mission editor is fail)..

an ideal map system would be to use the same mapping stile as Age of empires 3 its easy to use

because everything is sorted correctly and the "triggers" (Npc actions) are much easier to understand

"it is those with power that render the powerless useful... But only in war"

the best way to patch your game and not mess up everything is to install Dark Crusade and join the online lobby, you'll be proposed to patch your game and all the patch you need will be available from a trustfull source and instaled in the proper order.
if you want to make map for Dark Crusade :

1-desinstal DC
2-delete everything DC related manually if needed
3-run CCleaner or any cleaner to make sure your comp is cleaned
4-reinstal DC from your official CD (you own the game don't you ?
5-join the online lobby byslecting multiplayer game/ online game from the main menu
6-when prompted to donwload and install the patch do it and folow the instructions
7-exit DC once done and restart

repeat step 5 to 7 until you get fully patched

download the modtools
install them

you will find lots of usefull tutorials on mapping here in the tutorials section of the Adeptus Modificatus

why is is so hard to install a basic map mod let alone use it (Dark crusade mission editor is fail)..

because it is like that and there's nothing you can do about it but try to make maps if you want to.
once you get used to the mapmaker it will be fine (obviously)

have fun and don't forget to read the lot of tutorials dealing with map making and available here, your next better friend is the SEARCH function of these forums. if you really are stuck even with reading all the material present here then you can ask for help here.
be aware that if your problem has already been addressed thousand times here you may not get any help at all.

have fun,

JL

id rather use the 1.41 mod tools that go with the origanal dawn of war it looks better from screen shots ive seen

ill see if i can find tutorials on Y-tube on how to use that thing but it looks very similar to the same mapping system they used for C+C genrals

its just a massive pain in the a**

thanks for your time
