[Warhammer Dark Omen Forum]

Warhammer Dark Omen Forum

Wow, a new campaign. I will check it later.
Have you edited the army with Wh32Edit? Because the program doesn't support army header editing and so the Banners will be wrong in the troop menu if you havn't used a greenskin-header.

I hope you will extend the campaigns. As a new feature i thought about the map: Ghabry have anywhere a tool (or a tutorial) how to change the points on the map (where the army moves from town to town). Perhaps you can ask him.

I don't have a waypoint editor (only a cheat to view them ^^). You can only change the auto deploy position.
Or do you mean the overworld map? Look in the GameData\GameFlow Files with a hex editor. The values in it are x-y-coordinates (for line drawing). You can modify them to change the path they walk between the mission. (Maps are in Graphics\Maps). No tool for easy editing available, sorry :/. You can view them with the DOT-Viewer I created some moths (years?) ago. It's not the best viewer but better then nothing (the lines should be correct, except World 4 which looks strange)

I added a patch (not the EngRel.exe ^^) to my first post. So you can enable the dialog now under your version of Dark Omen.

Note: I couldn't find a good forum section for this, but "tools" is the nearest one imo .

This modification allows you to select a PRJ-File in the Loading Screen (if you select Tutorial or New Campaign). It seams to be a debugging feature left in by the devs .

Screenshot:


I couldn't find any other FileDialog-Calls in the exe-file. So there are no other hidden FileDialogs... (but maybe other things? )

Download: [attachment=1] None (I will not distribute the EngRel.exe file. Does anybody know a good binary-file patcher so I only have to distribute a .patch file)?

You'll need Crypth  (German) (Espanol) to patch the EngRel.exe.
At first I wanted to use the IPS-Format but because it's DarkOmen I wanted to use a Scriptformat by Mika and Smurf ^^. Extract Crypth somewhere and then doubleclick the cry-file and select "Always open with Crypth.exe" in the Windows Dialog.
doprjdialog.cry: Enables the Dialog
undo_doprjdialog.cry: Disables the Dialog (if you have forgotten to backup your original file )

The FileDialog doesn't work well with any Windows-Versions after Win98. If it freezes in the loading screen press ALT+TAB to tab out and in to Dark Omen. Then you should see the dialog. To enable ALT+TAB for Vista you should download the Vista Crashfix (German) (Espanol) (Please note that this patch is only activated if the file has the name EngRel.exe!)

The patch is universal for any Dark Omen Version. (Don't forget to run Crypth.exe as Admin under Vista if you have Dark Omen in a "protected" directory (C:\Program Files\ e.g.))

Don't forget that it's possible that some people forget the tournament/have no time. So it is better to have some more users against such problems (like 9 or 10 people).

Camera zooming and ratation makes some fights in my (youtube) videos more interesting .
But for normal gameplay the camera should be really far away (I always zoom out the max) ^^

Yeah, maybe we are the reason for this "bump".

a important goal is to beat the red line (in 2015 the interest in MoC should be lower):
TRENDZ

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, 3k/10 again.

I'm in (this time with a better army )

Yesterday olly, rob and I tested the program and... it worked! No connection problems anymore. You open a room in the program the others connected to gameranger can see the room and join it. The Host clicks Start, DO starts and you are directly in the army/map selection screen (DirectPlay feature ).

The program fixes any connection problems (Hamachi had sometimes problems) and joining DO games is very easy

Disadvantages are that you have to register first (during the Program installation)

If you want to hide the program in the systray (the icons near the clock) you have to click the systray item once.

I'm sometimes online in the program you can find me by using:
Community->Find User...->Nickname->Ghabry

TO OLLY: Doesn't work for bembe and me. Maybe you have upnp in your router enabled?

[Flak should decide which maps are allowed]

I uploaded the Latest version of the Map Patch. Please install it for the tournament (extract to GameData\1pbat) (and read the ReadMe/LiesMich.txt !)

The original Empire/Steamtank Map (B2_04) has been renamed to Great Forest in the Patch

Flak should decide which maps are allowed

And join our Chat please to make conversation during the tournament easier.

Yes, I will release the program to the public soon.

@Belzarius
Check your PMs

In Germany is also christmas 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Try the Intro Crash Fix (and then run DO as admin)

Have you read the Ultimate game fixes?

Try to run the Troublshooter (Unpatch) and Dark Omen as Admin (Rightclick->Run as Admin).

If it's still black run both as admin and select "Force MMX Render" in the troubleshooter.

If this also can't fix your problem you have to use Virtual PC... :/

Note: If you use MMX Render you can enable some options in the DO Config Menu which are normally disabled in CPU mode. But on my PC (except in virtual pc) mmx render always causes black ground.

btw, the ultimate texture fix solution is setting the option in the top right corner of the DO Config Menu to minimal. Then you can also use 3D-Mode without flickering BUT the game will look like an old dos game

I like the idea for the deployment zones on Loren Lake.
It's a good idea to discuss new ideas for deployment zones to make the fights funnier and (sometimes) more balanced.
Maybe we should create a new topic to discuss zone ideas because this is the december tournament topic

The release will be this month
