I got hacked last week just a day before the hacking your probably heard about it the news.... had to rebuild the laptop and enable DirectPlay, reinstall the game and mods, add reg files etc but surprisingly I don't need to do anything regarding compatibility mode and Windows 10 keeps trying to expand my 640 x 480 screen to much larger. Haven't tested that out just yet because the game is working now but yeh, just surprised I didn't need to enable compatibility mode for once.
Damn, defending Helmgart is a really hard mission with the Dark Elves. See how I go tomorrow when I can focus more on the actual gameplay and if I can get through that level or not.
It's taking some time to complete, however as I said I am getting there and it's quite fun so far!
And book files... I just re-used some book profile images here and for heroes set the secondary unit name as the hero name so it appears in the book profile. I wrote up a whole profile description for all troops which I've also attached in the xslots.txt example[attachment=2]
Here's the banners I was using although some were mistakes I just couldn't be bothered to fix up properly but if those new banners from illidian work that would be pretty awesome!
Makes sense now... don't think I have the knowledge yet on how to fully set up a new campaign so can only really try cloning your existing DO2 Mod I guess and see how that goes.
In the meantime, here are all the sprites for the following units:
Ok so really weird... was trying to create a new campaign using other templates such as Undead/Skaven Mod and even Wood Elves however sprites worked, banners worked it's just once I changed xSlots.txt name all units in the deployment shield had Orc Arr'r Boyz flags instead and when clicked it crashed.
So the only change that triggered that was a name change of existing unit in xSlots.txt. Is there somewhere else referring to that exact name in coding etc? Just found that to be strange.
I'll upload all existing sprites tonight so the Dark Elf Army sprites, xSlots with descriptions etc, banners (definitely to be replaced if possible) and book profile images (didn't really make any changes here).
Will see how I go with the DO2 Mod and finding the error that crashed that because I had it all working quite well. I'll just need to go through trial and error, testing to debug what's crashing it at that point.
So I've tested it using the new levels on Dark Omen 2 Mod however it crashes on the 3rd level.
Problem is.... I'm not sure which is the third level because DO2 Mod starts of at Battle 06_01 and then 06_02 haha....
Will send Olly a message and see if he can help me out with the level orders just so I can tweak whatever army is missing and crashing at that point.
So far looks really good though... would be easier if the troops weren't locked into deployment so they could be placed but I'll ask Olly that as well.
It all looks pretty good for now... I'm nearly finished testing out the custom enemies for the Single Player missions and then the kit is ready for release so you can test it out or add your own touch to it if you'd like to improve a few aspects.
Thanks for your help! One person can make change but together we can make a difference.....
Now these guys look real good... I've still got the Black Guard sprite from DO2 Mod so I switched yours over to Har Ganeth Executioners and kept the original Black Guard as that but looks real good.
The corsairs are awesome as well but I forgot to get a screenshot.
