[img]http://dov.slipstreamproductions.net/News/Other/header.png[/img] With that April Fools day prank out of the way (we were originally going to make it a Gameplay Week feature, saying that we were making Japan playable or something silly, but it sort of spun into its own feature, so we might be technically one journal short), it's time to talk about the two factions in Dawn of Victory's first release and how they play off of each other in combat, econo

If it locks up this tends to mean you have a wrong "count" number somewhere, such as six capital ships listed as entitydefs but 5 designated in the capitalshipcount line. If logErrors is on, this will result in the game creating a infinitely large debuglog too, up until you ctrl-alt-del out. I have no idea why this sort of thing isn't caught by the game itself.

Gameplay Week Update #2: Capital Ships [img]http://dov.slipstreamproductions.net/News/Other/header.png[/img] Capital ships are easily the most visually impressive thing in Dawn of Victory. While capitals in the base game were large and imposing already, they were quite common and easy to field. In Dawn of Victory, capital ships are behemoths, with dozens of weapon points, insanely high hull and armor ratings, and accor

Even if they don't cover the same concepts, splintering results in dead mods. Homeworld had at least 3 active trek mods. Bridge Commander, and Starfleet Command had countless mods. All done by different mod teams. All succesfull. SoA 2 wont die if i have any say over it. Im sure CJ wont let his project die if he can help it as well. Th

[quote who="ManSh00ter" reply="19" id="2119664"]What about the AI? The new features sound great, but how will you make the AI use the new system, for example refill the troopships for another invasion attempt, or perform strategically at all considering the changes to the way fleet buildup is handled? Considering the SoaSE Ai is notoriously difficult to adjust, will DoW be more oriented towards multiplayer gaming, or will we be able to enjoy battles against a computer opponent as well?[/quote

Yes, below all the weapons there's a weaponindexforrange or something line, set that to the # weapon (0, 1, 2) that you want to use as the range. So if the missiles are the last weapon (Weapon-2) set it to 2.

[quote who="Mooster" reply="1" id="2117354"]why not fix it for yourself... and since the last time I checked, it hasn't been update for a while[/quote] I don't understand why people comment on issues they don't understand. The OP was pointing out that people that use the mod and update it have not fixed a common issue. He cannot just "fix it himself" and then magically redistribute it in place of the versions other people have distributed.

Since we launched our Wiki, we've had an enormous amount of fan backstory written. User-generated content has came from forum games and such, but there has also been quite a bit of pure prose from some talented individuals. Entire minor factions have been built up from scratch, diplomatic relatons and history described, and conflicts and skirmishes illustrated in great detail. The mod's development and backstory has been heavily influenced by fan-created works. Both our latest new

Start small - copy the Sova Carrier file, then change the mesh filename and rename the new .entity file, add it to the list in PlayerTech, then test, then do everything else. Don't do everything at once. A hard crash usually means you forgot to increment the capital ship # in PlayerTech.

Try setting SelfIlluminationTextureFileName "" NormalTextureFileName "" to SelfIlluminationTextureFileName "Black-da.dds" NormalTextureFileName "Black-da.dds" And see if that fixes it. Alternatively, set the data map to another ship's.
