Hahaha, I'm still around mate, lurking the forums every now and then. I've actually just finished getting all my old modding stuff together, and transferred it all to my new PC. Have had a quick look at it all, and have made a plan of how I'm going to proceed. I just don't want to announce anything ...

Hey now... don't be such a pessimist Caeltos

Goodies are inbound!

Hi guys, yes I'm still alive! Just a quick post from me today. I've been in lockdown for a while, due to having had ALOT of RL work and commitments to attend to over the past 6 weeks. Still in the middle of a important piece of work for uni, so sadly won't be free for a little bit longer yet. Howeve...

Ever.

Lol. Well said.

When its gonna be released ? When its working, correctly. Interesting idea but this is basically jumping to fixed positions in the replay which isn't possible. Prepending new modified headers at these points might make it valid "RelicChunky" format and perhaps appear in the replay list (d...

I honestly dont think id would be worth getting another units that doesn't specialize in anything (unless it is in t1) if its a unit all on its own. This upgrade (along with vanguard) are in their own little world. I quite like it how it is. Gives the Sm roster more diversity with their builds with...

Well, yeah, I know that part (thanks anyway Raffa), but I meant more along the lines of why are they not normal units, from the HQ?

Maybe the Techpriests just don't like Commissars near their favourite toys. They do have a tendency to break shit. Like, skulls.

So the Inquisitor is going to be psychic? Super Interessted in the Acolyte thing. Are you thinking about a homogenous unit, like a punch of Crusaders; or one of these mixed&matched henchmen squads. Would Acolytes be a melee or ranged units? How would they differentiate from InqSTs? Edit: http:/...

If I could just add a quick question to the discussion... Why are the Sternguard/Vanguard purchasable upgrades, instead of seperate units in the HQ? Is it just me, or does anyone else find their current implementation very jarring to the gameplay? I mean, no other unit in the game (bar the FC) can d...

Well... if we are thinking of ideas for Grey Knight Heroes, the first thing that comes to my mind is to have not one, but two Inquisitor heroes. One Puritan, one Radical. That would give you a good theme to base their playstyle/abilities/etc from. Theres loads of fluff and lore on those two competin...

Adding to my "to do" list...

The problem with worshiping slaaneshi is analogous to the problems of severe drug abuse in real life. You become hooked on the pleasure while simultaneously desensitising yourself to it each time you use it. Because of the intensity of Slaaneshi pleasure you quickly realise it's impossible to ever ...

Check my previous post, just answered some outstanding Q's

oh i know. Cool Biscuits Relic does it on purpose, for better performance most likely, and faster development = lower dev costs But they gave all their newer SM models those "super high" polygon boots, with spiky soles. I'm not sure if I'd buy "performances" as an answer here. Y...

UPDATE: New screenshot of latest build, see first post. Hi guys, sorry for the lack of updates of late, RL things have been sucking my time away recently, so haven't been able make as much progress recently. Never-the-less, I have new picture for u, of a nice, polished up bro-cap selection screen. ...

Hmm maybe I should make a key bindings option U.I, after I've finished the selection screen?

If you go for 4, can you tweak the text layout a bit? Atm long hero names don't fit with the 4 hero hack. I believe so, yes, that shouldn't be a problem. I'll actually be repurposing the script from vanilla DoW2 race selection buttons (when there were only 4), for the use as the new hero buttons. I...

*sniff* so beautiful...... Does this mean that Grey Knights could have a second and third commander implemented, should Caeltos wish to do so? Indeed. And a fourth, if he so wishes. All races will have access to the possibility of 4 heroes. Which should keep the Slaaneshi worshipers happy. This is ...

Alright, I'm back! So after quite a delay (due to weird bugs and crashes constantly plauging me, eventually ran them down to being thanks to one of my editing tools ), and having to leave town for a bit, I have some screenshots of the new U.I! I'll post them in a new thread of my own making now thou...

This is a continuation of the thread here: http://www.dawnofwar.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=436 Summary: Old U.I. not purty enuff. Make U.I. more purty. I've done alot of work recently on having a complete understanding of the Scaleform U.I. aspects in DoW2, for the use in some modding work ...

Firstly, when Promythyus created the 4th commander hack, he really butchered the game files in his effort to get it working. Not to take anything away from his pioneering work, as he did the best he could at the time, but the result of this is the current elite files are in a pretty huge mess in re...

A little update: Have looked into the files of the current Elite build, and after a little tinkering, I've discovered a couple of things. Firstly, when Promythyus created the 4th commander hack, he really butchered the game files in his effort to get it working. Not to take anything away from his pi...

OK, cool, cheers Caeltos. Ill post some screenshots for y'all to peek at soonish.

No worries, will do, cheers Indrid. The 4th commander option isn't really too difficult to implement correctly, so I can put that back in at anytime we wish. Except a little more... elegantly

Question for those in the know: Would you like me to... a) Just redo the 4th commander button, for selecting the Grey Knights, as it is now? Or b) Should I instead add a complete new race, as GKs or Deamonhunters or whatever, and remove the 4th commander button for now? I was leaning towards option ...

As a follow-up to this discussion, I've been working hard on this stuff over the last month. Got slowed down by contracting a fun case of the Shingles, but I'm just about back to full health now, and I am closing in on having a complete understanding of the Scaleform U.I. aspects in DoW2, and how th...

Now now Riku, I can't show all my cards at once, it will spoil the surprise!

Now that one is a bit more complicated... but, not impossible
