Updates All ‘Round

The DoW2 1.4 beta is receiving an update in the next few days according to Relic. They have released 1.4.2 beta patch notes. It looks good, but maybe not good enough. Time will well.

The website, ModsRUs that is, has also received an update. Its subtle, but the website should be bit softer on the eyes and more functional

Lastly, the wiki has received substantial information contributions. Particularly when it comes to the newly released World Builder. Be sure to contribute should you have any knowledge about modding. Don’t be afraid to register and create new articles or make corrections or additions to existing articles. Sharing is caring… or something.

DoW2 1.4 Beta

*edit* WARNING: I’ve just learned that Relic was not able to separate the ladders for the Beta. Do NOT play ranked games unless your TS is irrelevant to you. You WILL affect your TS on live.

The upcoming 1.4 DoW2 patch will be going into a beta test phase tomorrow (22:00 GMT) and is publicly available to everyone that owns DoW2. It will last until July 13th so get testing. The patch is looking very promising. The patch notes are absolutely huge. You can check out instructions on how to join the beta on the Relic community blog.

On the modding front: the beta will include the WorldBuilder. Yes, a DoW2 map editor!
Clone’s ‘Uge Mod will be ported to 1.4, but its going to take some time as it is a ridiculously large patch with probably loads of executable, game data and SCAR code changes. In all likelihood mods will not work with 1.4 until they are updated.

See you on the beta servers!

Wiki Updates

There has already been some community contributions to the ModsRUs Wiki. Copernicus has been updating a reference to the SCAR functions available to modders. Anyone with modding knowledge is encouraged to contribute.

A FileFront mirror is now available for Clone’s ‘Uge Mod Beta 0.4 here. Sorry about the wait. I couldn’t get up a FilePlanet mirror due to a strange upload error.

Beta 0.4 Released! About time

adam — Sun, 17 May 2009 01:13:15 +0000

Sorry for the wait, but Beta 0.4 of Clone’s ‘Uge Mod is now available. I skipped 0.35, adding a bunch of changes and redoing a lot of the older code. This version is fully Patch 1.3.1 COMPATIBLE and the UCS conflict and Techmarine missile animation glitch issues are fixed. I will try to get 0.45 out much faster after 1.3.2 on Tuesday. I very much improved the code and 1.3.2 is only a minor data patch so the transition should go much smoother. I doubt the patch will even break the mod this time.

Beta 0.3 Release

adam — Tue, 12 May 2009 04:14:28 +0000

Beta 0.3 of Clone’s ‘Uge Mod has been released. This feature has a ton of skirmish changes, new abilities and balance changes as well new textures thanks to Kelembribors21 and MetalMonkey. As always head to the forums for download mirrors and a full change list. This version has been ported to patch 1.2.1. I wanted to get it out before patch 1.3 as I’m unsure how long it may take me to port to 1.3. If the new patch tomorrow breaks the mod I’ll get a new version out ASAP. Sign up for the forums and suggest a new name for the mod and provide feedback

DoW2 Patch 1.3

adam — Mon, 11 May 2009 20:03:55 +0000

Patch 1.3 for Dawn of War 2 has turned out to be quite a patch. Although it has limited balance changes (pretty much just a much needed change to ravener tunnels) it has pretty much everything else 2vs2 ranked play with 2 new maps, huge amount of UI changes, campaign fixes, tons of crash and other bug fixes and the first stage of the revamped AI! Whoa. Barring any unforeseen incidents the patch will be going live tomorrow at 11am PST. You can see the patch notes here. A few changes were omitted from the notes accidentally. Those changes are:

- We added the Korean characters to the Arial font, which will allow chat with Korean IME.
- We added invisible shot blockers to Capital Spire, to fix the lockdown on the center VP.
- We fixed an issue with the Lictor going unresponsive.

A few other things mention. I should be releasing Clones ‘Uge Mod Beta 0.3 later today! I want to get this out before patch 1.3 in case it takes me a while to merge the two. If the patch ends up breaking the mod I will work to fix this asap.

I updated the site slightly. Hopefully it is a little faster and a little more secure. Due to spam bots and abuse I will be making some changes to the forums. You will no longer to be able to post in the general forums or DL files without logging in. Sorry for the inconvenience :S

There is a community chat with Relic today at 7pm EST on XFire. If you want to participate you’ll have to install XFire and join the DoW2 official clan. See you there

Beta 0.2 Released!

adam — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 07:58:29 +0000

Beta 0.2 of Clone’s ‘Uge Mod has been released. Head over to the forums for a detailed change list and download mirrors. A few things I would have liked to have added had to be held back. I’ve spent a lot of time on the site recently and wanted to get a new version out sooner rather than later. Anyway, here’s a highlight of two of the new features:

Chapter Masters

Chapter Masters
The Chapter Masters are the elite leaders of a Space Marine chapter. Their presence on the battlefield is rare, but fearsome. These warrior commanders wield a wide array of powerful weaponry and inspire nearby marines.

Epic Game Mode
The Epic skirmish game mode is essentially a victory point-annihilate game with higher resources generation rates, the population cap increased to 200 and starting victory points increased by 50% resulting in longer and larger battles. The real change here is that victory points are replaced with strategic assets. You will recognize these if you’ve played the campaign, each grants different bonuses to the controlling team.

Forums and Hosting and Mods! Oh my!

adam — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 17:46:34 +0000

ModsRUs forums are now up. I’m still working on a few changes to make them more user friendly, but they are fully operational Please read the forum rules before posting. As of right now the “Mods R Us” sub forum does not require registration to post, but this may change if spam becomes an issue. All other forums require an account to post as does attaching files.

I’m planning on providing “hosting” for mod projects. This is still in the works, but planned is limited ftp space, a sub forum your mod w/ moderation rights, private staff sub forum and ftp and an html page linked to from the homepage (at the top, but limited space). For now if you are interested send me a private message on the forums.

Clone’s ‘Uge Mod is coming along nicely. Beta 0.2 soon w/ Epic and Assasination game modes! But the mod needs a new name. Head over to the mod’s forums and suggest your ideas for a new name. A poll will be created from the best suggestions and voted on.

I’ve added a page for my current mod project above. Clone’s ‘Uge Mod as I currently call it (open to suggestions ) is a mod for DoW2. See the link above for more information. Beta 1 is currently released and im well into progress on beta 2 which adds many more feature, most prominently new game modes for play in skirmish matches. My friend, NoisyMonk is now helping me with some modelling. See the images here for a preview of a work in progress.
