Enjoy the mod pack single player campaigns and then join in some fun multiplayer games.  

See you on the battlefield soon

Hey,

Thank you for the quick reply. I got an idea because of your message and got it working (it seems). I, again, uninstalled the game, deleted the registry AND gave myself admin rights to Dark Omen folder and at least now everything seems good.

So the only thing that changed after yesterday was that I turned off my pc and today the game was not working. After giving admin rights, I just tested turning my pc off and on. The game still works just fine.

I wanted to write it here to potentially help other people with same issue.

Join our discord channel and then I can arrange a time to Teamviewer in check your settings to find what has changed. Probably permissions on the Dark omen folder or antivirus blocking.

More likely to have missed a step in the guide and requires installing the virtualstore 64bit registry fix etc, in the mod pack.

Not sure what caused the issue, I did have a PlayStation controller plugged in to my PC when the problem occurred so I don't know if maybe that messed with something although unplugging it and restarting the PC didn't resolve anything. If it happens again I would maybe be able to narrow down what caused the issue further.

The fix was just to uninstall the game and remove the Dark Omen folder and any mentions of Dark Omen in regedit (I think I may have missed some entries which made this not work the first time I tried it) and then install the game again. That is one of the fixes mentioned in the  fix guide. I tried a bunch of other things to try and fix this issue without an uninstall but the uninstall is the only thing that worked.
 
If you have this issue and you have to uninstall the game and you don't want to lose your current progress, just copy the SaveGame folder located in the Dark Omen folder and paste in your saved games with the fresh install.

Hello,

I have this exact same issue. I installed the game according to the guide and was happily playing yesterday. I wanted to continue today but the settings have reverted and can't be changed again. I uninstalled the game, deleted all the registry for Dark Omen and installed the game according to the instructions. I still can't change the options and thus can't play the game. Does anyone have any advice?

That's great work, well done and thanks. I will add it to all the multiplayer mods, in the next release. Would be fantastic if you could help me complete all the new Dark Omen 2 mod ones, referencing their rulebooks, please.

Thank you olly,
so in essence I only had to edit the pictures which I have done now. I didnt include the mini-sprites but the stats are now visible. I also rearranged some pictures to get them more in focus, sometimes I had to make em smaller to fit.
For war-machines I added their seperates values (under L: (Leader). So you have the machine and the crew values.

Also I'm not sure if all values are correct (simple mistakes) and because the campaign units are sometimes different than the multiplayer units (Grailknights for example have more toughness in the campain T_GRAILK.BMP).

Some units I couldnt find all together, like the imperial swordmen (T_IMPSWD.BMP) or the Reiks-Knights (T_REIKS.BMP). So I just used some values I thought would fit.

I made a zip file for download.
Just copy paste them into C:\Program Files (x86)\Dark Omen\Graphics\Books\Troops

edit: made a mistake with the fanatics/flagelants, corrected the zip.
edit2: changed Orc Boys Movement from 6 to 4

Hi,

I've amended the first post to include the tools required to view their stats and sprites, to then manually add to their original Troop pictures, found in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Dark Omen\Graphics\Books\Troops

Hello olly,

can you provide a in depth guide how to do that?
So that the unit stats appear in the main game, and maybe all the other mods as well?
I really like looking at the stats in the troops overview to compare them, but there are so many files and folders, I dont know where to put what? I found the Dark Omen 2 folder but what can i safely copy paste?

Excellent! I shall give that a try then. Cheers for the input.

Yes that would work copying your original cd to usb and running its setup.exe to install on win10 and following our guide. Our mod pack fixes and EngRel.exe will then work fine.
