HQ Units Mod (0.2.1) - File Description  


Description:
This mod introduces slight variants of existing units that are buildable from your HQ. It is intended as a 'leg up' against the AI, and specifically for the campaign when defending a map. This mod will not affect the AI player, and if you never use the units, your play will be the same as the unmodded original. The intent is to bend the standard rules without completely changing the complexion of the game.

Note - as of version 0.2.1 only Chaos, Eldar, IG, SoB, SM, and Tau factions have HQ Units. If there is sufficient feedback, I'm willing to add any other faction.

HQ Units Mod (0.2.1) - Readme  
Readme File:
HQ Units, a Single Player and Skirmish Mod for DoW Soul Storm
Version: 0.2.1

=== Brief Intro ===

This mod introduces slight variants of existing units that are buildable from your HQ. It is intended as a 'leg up' against the AI, and specifically for the campaign when defending a map. This mod will not affect the AI player, and if you never use the units, your play will be the same as the unmodded original. The intent is to bend the standard rules without completely changing the complexion of the game.

Note - as of version 0.2.1 only Chaos, Eldar, IG, SoB, SM, and Tau factions have HQ Units. If there is sufficient feedback, I'm willing to add any other faction.


=== Installation ===

Unpack the zip file into your main SS directory, the one with DXP2.module file.
After starting game, select 'HQ Units Mod' from the Game Manager.


=== Details ===

With this mod a small number of modified units are buildable from the HQ. Their screen names are identical to the normal units, with '[HQ]' appended. Since they share a crowded build panel, their build icon will only show once their build requirements are satisfied, and disappear once their unit cap is exhausted.

Typically, they have the following advantages compared to the normal unit of the same type:

1) Cap cost reduced
2) Tech requirements lowered
3) Building structure requirements relaxed
4) Infantry squads start with 1 squad member, but can only be reinforced to 1/2 of the standard unit max strength.

Example at the low tech spectrum:
The Eldar "Ranger [HQ]" unit has a squad cap of 1, can be built immediately, starting strength is 1 reinforcable to 4, has a hard cap of 1.

Example at the high tech spectrum:
The SM "Predator [HQ]" unit has a vehicle cap of 2, can be built once the Machine Cult is built, has a hard cap of 1 (which it shares with the Whirlwind [HQ]), comes already upgraded with lascannons, and as a bonus, can detect infiltrated units.

= Order of Battle =

Chaos: Raptor Squad [HQ] x2, Khorne Berzerkers [HQ] -or- Possessed Squad [HQ], Defiler [HQ], Chaos Predator [HQ]

Eldar: Ranger Squad [HQ], Warp Spider Squad [HQ], Falcon Grav Tank [HQ], Vyper [HQ], Fire Prism [HQ]

IG: Heavy Weapons Team [HQ], Kasrkin [HQ] x2, Chimera [HQ], Leman Russ Battle Tank [HQ]

SoB: Seraphim Squad [HQ] x2, Rhino Transport [HQ], Lightning Fighter [HQ], Penitent Engine [HQ] -or- Exorcist [HQ]

SM: Assault Marine Squad [HQ] x2, Apothecary [HQ], Rhino Transport [HQ], Land Speeder [HQ], Whirlwind [HQ] -or- Predator [HQ]

Tau: Pathfinder Team [HQ] x2, Devilfish Troop Carrier [HQ], Krootox [HQ] -or- Hammerhead Gunship [HQ]


=== Changes ===

= 0.2.0 -> 0.2.1 =

Added chaos faction.
Cleaned up file structure.

Do you know how to make the campaign play to the point of say, where you could fight against just one faction vs another such as a Space Marine Army fighting against nothing but Orks (the Orks could fight each other and of course that would be fluffy in most respects, but to be able to play the campaign as if just one Race vs, one race for the purposes of storytelling or running an online campaign? If you know how to do this could you get back to me on how to do it so I can do the work on that for everyone here? Also if there was a way to use any Space Marine Chapter you wanted in the game (not just the Blood Ravens) and so on for the other races and just remove the videos and such so you could just play it with your race and make up your own story to go with the campaign. I think this would make this campaign last a lot longer. (shrew8541@yahoo.com)

Badger:

There is a way to change the coloring scheme, decals, etc for the races in the campaign. It is a very detailed and troublesome process.

As to the rest of the question, the campaign is a mix of hard coded routines and mod accessible script files. The scripts are coded in 'SCAR', and that's about all I know.

I suggest you ask your question in a forum with more experienced DoW moders. Rule 6 below seems to forbid me from mentioning any, but if you search around for " DoW Advanced Modding" you should find somewhere appropriate. wink

Good luck.

I'll look into adding the necrons, no promises though.If I do add them, I'll also want to update the entire thing a bit.
