Mod Selector

[hari8]

Just tried to played one of the campaigns in the mod selector, but half of the screen is flickering purple doent matter which campaign (probably), 16-bit-colors enabled

[olly]

Tell us which campaign and what version of windows you are using and try this mod pack instead ->

I'm thinking you may have to set 16bit colour on the EngRel.exe within each of the Mod folders PRG_ENG

Did it with the installed modpack (i installed that one in octobe with you i think), didnt helped (with any mod), restarted pc, didnt helped.

After that i installed the mod pack nov15, but identical issue

Pop into Chat channel and I can always remote onto your pc via Teamviewer.

[hari8]

I will, just have to find time when you are there yet

Update!

Download

This version merges aqrits changes provided by his ddraw.dll into darkpatch.dll

This means: Delete ddraw.dll before running EngRel otherwise bad things will happen!

XSlots works now without restarting Dark Omen after switching a mod (at least I think so, tell me if you observe any unexpected behaviour).

New: Custom handler for CTL OpCode 0xf1, see the CTL thread.

Very cool, thanks. Will test with Game Ranger and is there now chance to get the voodoo ddraw.dll working again please

[Ghabry]

Well I meant that you have to remove the ddraw.dll of aqrit which provides XSlots because our codes conflict now.

So ddraw.dll is free for other things like this dgvoodoo lib.

[olly]

great, will try it out.

[olly]

Thanks Ghabry, your new darkpatch.dll allows in-game changing of mods really easy now and xslots & 3d still works fine as does Multiplayer LAN & Multiplayer Game Ranger using Dark Omen 2 mod. I've just updated the mod pack and currently testing dgvoodoo's ddraw.dll

About the Battles.ENG size issue. Looks like the buffer where the map list is copied to has a fixed size but the application doesn't check it and the additional map data is written into other Dark Omen data structures and corrupting them o.O

No idea why but I can't get the pre-battle scene (where you select army and map) to open. It automatically closes and returns me to the first multiplayer-scene (Play/Edit Army). So I will try to fix this blind.

In theory I know what must be modified . Will increase the limit to 200 entries.

[olly]

Sounds promising thanks and I found that adding too many maps beyond its limit of 2 extra maps, would also return me to the first multiplayer screen.

I have added 2 files in the latest mod pack within Dark Omen 2 mod, that has the new Battles.ENG for all the new maps and also a BattlesLimit.ENG for comparison, that has 2 extra maps added to the original list.

issue relating to new mod maps

[Ghabry]

Ah, thats a side effect of too many maps? Okay, because my test file contained 100 .
Good then I will know that I fixed it ^^

Should work now. I updated the "latest version" link in the 1st post of the topic.

Works perfectly! Many thanks again and for the advice concerning correct whitespace, "between B0_00, mb_00 and "The name" must be tabulator, not space"

I recently tried the coloured cursors mod which only seems to work when overwriting the originals, instead of within Dark Omen 2 mods. It seems strange since it does successfully redirect the folders according to trace.txt



Download Coloured Cursors mod to replace Black & White originals, to avoid turning on coloured cursors in Options
