Warhammer Dark Omen Forum

Hi!

The first question is easily answered: you need a playable installation of Dark Omen regardless of form (original CD, copy or rip), and then you apply our unofficial mods on your game installation.

I take it that in your second question you're asking about if there are any other games, before or after Dark Omen, that offers a similar game experience? Unfortunately, only a very few. The Myth games, especially the first three games, are somewhat similar. The game "Nexus: The Jupiter Incident" is a sci-fi spaceship battle game that plays somewhat similarly. And of course you should give the battles of the Total War games a try.

Anyone else with some suggestions about RTT games that a Dark Omen veteran must play?

Oh, it is not secret at all It is an attempt to write a tactical wargame for casual gamers. Though the engine is actually really tactically rich the goal is to mask this and create an extremely easy-to-use interface so we can sell it perhaps even to soccer mums. And as I mentioned before, I try to make everything in such a way that all code written have direct relevance for WARTBED. F.i. I've just written a complex sprite module for multi-direction animations, which can be plugged almost directly into it.

About M3D to M3X: I think they must have used a tool to manage the conversion of those, because the divided version is really structured in how it is disassembled. Let's look at it together later!

This sounds really neat! I'm looking forward to the recording!

Thanks Brapus, I honesty admire and appreciate all you guys' patience! Currently I'm down with a cold and no voice and am thinking quite a bit about what tools could be made to help Olly's current efforts!

One thing I want to give you credit for is that you test things thoroughly and tweak for a good short- and long term gaming experience! Therefore I believe you will make a really worthwhile alternative campaign!

Not really much pseudocode there is it? That basically could be used as it is... 

I think this campaign looks really interesting. I especially like the creativity of attaching "handlers" to monsters to allow you to use these units more tactically rather than as expendable suicide troops.

I absolutely love Deathmetal. The more brutal, than better imo. ... I'm playing in two bands myself. as the vocalist. or gurgler, growler, I can't sing, I make noises xD

That's the very definition of Death Metal, isn't it?

Holy crap, the guy that demonstrates can't play the game at all! I wish I could hear much less understand what the commentators say, though...

For all our favourite witch hunter, what about Malcom McDowell? He'd also suit the role of flagellator pretty well.

I'm working together with some guys on what will hopefully be a commercial project atm. However, all code I write with the intention of using it in WARTBED so when things happen, a lot will come at once.

I was pretty burned out a while ago when working at WB since first of all I worked at a maniacal pace, and secondly when I ran into a problem with OGRE nobody helped me or believed me when I identified a bug in OGRE, which I then had to solve for myself. It took a month to do so, and wass all kinds of frustrating hell. And when I finally solved it nobody thanked me. So yeah, that sapped so much motivation. I'm still bitter about it...

Nonetheless, I appreciate you asking because that increases the likelihood of a release sooner rather than later

Yeah, I definitely second Ron Perlman! Also I think John-Rhys Davies might be perfect for Luthor Flamestrike!

I want Rutger Hauer casted in one of the roles! And if Russel Crowe has Bernhardt I'd be bored, we need a more special and less Hollywood-mainstream actor for him; what about Gary Oldman? Proper British English, and I want to hear him scream for the defeat of the undead!

Yeah, I enjoy you're taking some creative freedom when designing the models! Are you making animations for them too?

Yeah, Nikademus is the arch villain of the Phantasie series of CRPGs, and one of the inspirations for my alias Good find!
