DESCRIPTION
---------------
This modification for Dawn of War adds the Tyranid race,
from the tabletop war-game Warhammer 40k from which Dawn
of War was based on, to the game. The Tyranids are an alien
race, threatening the imperium from the edge of the galaxy,
living only to feast upon the flesh of their foes. They are
a fearsome adversary, but an even better ally! That's why
our mod allows you fight with and for the great Tyranid race,
swarm the enemy with hundreds of hormagaunts, stamp on your
foes with the huge carnifex and devour your opponent from
within with the deadly lictor. We aim to show players of Dawn
of War what the fantastic Tyranids are and attempt to keep as
true to the feel of the race as possible.
Tyranids 0.5b2 Release
--------------------
+HOW DO I INSTALL IT?+
Simple run the installer! It should locate your DoW folder and
automatically install into the right place. This will
overwrite 0.45SS if you have it installed, however if you happen
to still have 0.3 installed for original Dawn of War or Winter
Assault, or any of the Dark Crusade releases it won't alter those
installs.
+WHAT IF I'VE MODIFIED YOUR MOD?+
If you've modified anything in the /Tyranids/ mod folder or
subfolders, you will need to backup your alterations prior
to running the installer as it will delete the entire
directory before installing this version of the mod.

problems. In the event, however, that something serious does occur, it

What is new here?
Check the news post. :)
Dude, there is 2k19 outside. Chill out already:)
Thanks guys, just what I needed after going through a stressful month
Thank you very much Tyranid team, this is a great way to end the month. All the best and keep up the good work.
Thanks for this new version! Its really awesome!
still struggling w/ the new build system and just to clarify, v0.5b1 needs to be uninstalled right? tnx
Yes, you might find there are file conflict issues if you don't uninstall 0.5b1 first.
Hello there, i have had a play with this mod and have noticed that there is a green button in the top center of your lower hud called "hive fleet in orbit" to build click this button and then there should be a button 3rd to the left (1st from the center)called "drop hive" and that should be your build bar. well it is on mine hehe
hope this helped :P
Hi! Thanks for the mod!! I have a problem with it. When i try to build a building i can´t do it because the builders doesnt exist.
When i look for it the game send to the Hive Spire and it doesnt let me build anything. When I choose the Codex Mod and play with tyranids
i can build normally with an invisible builder (i dont know if it is normal) but i can´t see the Influence bar (I can see this bar in the Tyranid Mod).
I have DoW SS 1.2.120. I´ve installed Codex First and then Tyranid Mod 0.5b2.
Did you try the button in the middle of the menu along the button? Opens the build menu.
Yes, the builder doesnt exist (i cant see it) and when i press "wrench" button it sends me to the Hive Spire (as DKPISME said) and the build-menu doesnt appear just the Broodlord, Genestealers and Genestealers Acclimatization I.
have the same problems here
It seems that there is a problem with the Multiplayer in this mod, as no matter what I do, my friend is unable to play with me, as he just gets booted the second the game begins.
Any advice?
They have the mod installed, right?
ya same here i cant play multiplayer it says sync-error
Hello! I also have the same problem with the multiplayer.
He tells me that there is a problem of sync, the host player becomes an observer; when we try to leave him I always go back to windows, I only some few times.
Congrats on the Mod is fantastic and well done! I have no other problem both normal and GDM .. but I have a need frustrating to play in multiplayer :)
Let me clarify that PCs are both mine, with exactly the same installations up to Soulstorm (in multiplayer is OK) but the Tyranid mod only works in single player.
Thanks again for the good work, I look forward your advice
Yeah something is wrong with it when I play it in Codex as well. Before this version there was the Ork Waaaagh Pop issue and in this version it's replaced with SoB Faith points (or whatever its called). I'm going to retry and see what happens when I play alone. Although the build option is actually a decent idea, kind of quicker and more "tyranid."
Hmm, well that's even more strange. I can see the new bar up top with the Influence rising, but can't build a single thing in the stand-alone mod. There is also a extra check mark in the Win Conditions to something that is not there.
If combined with Codex mod, I don't see the bar, but can build like crazy, but then the faith points error appears and such. Hmmmm....HMMMM!!!! How strange! But hey, you tried, and you keep trying and eventually you'll get it =P
When you say you can't build... is the menu not there, or what's happening?
When playing Tyranids alone (not combined with anything) the Influence bar is there and rising, but when I click on the "wrench" button for a build unit it sends me back to the Hive and shows only to train the Genestealers and such, but no actual build options.
When combined with Codex it does the complete opposite. The Influence bar is gone, but when I select the "wrench" button to build, that's when I get all the build options.
Weird, eh?
Don't hit the "wrench" button, try and click that pretty green little gem that got addeed to the taskbar.
there is actually no "pretty green little gem in the middle of the taskbar, it doesn't work for codex 3.5, but in tyranids GDM it works.
actually in tyranids codex 3.5 you cant press it, but in GDM alone you can.
Absolutely, we've done everything exactly the same, and can't figure out whats wrong
Apparently you're not the only one, so it looks to be an issue we're gonna have to address for 0.5b3.
Either that or make a small patch?
fails me when I play in lan
hello, I've got a problem, there is no builder for the tyty...
There isn't meant to be one. Click the button in the top middle of the bottom bar. That'll open up your build options.
What about to add HeroUI button to the "flee hive mind unit". It brings to player the additional [clear] way for selecting this unit.
why cant i click up my build meny?

Thank you so much. Nids have been in dire need of balancing forever.
thanks, i've found it, but it doesn't work, i can't buid spore chimery cause it's says that i've got not enougth energy, so i can't build nothing ( sorry for my bad english, i'm french )
That's a known issue we're looking into, so far not many people have experienced it though so we're not sure what's causing it.
it doesn't work for tyranids GDM mod
Zahaqiel, The OP_SS mod you included into 0.5b2 build is _extremely_ old (December 2011) and can cause issues with combiner-like mods.
Can you please post above info about the latest OP_SS mod should be downloaded from here Forums.revora.net
Sure thing.

this looks wicked ty , and btw i am taken down my mod dw
im having trouble getting this to work does having it on steam do anything?
What in particular's going on? It shouldn't have any issues with Steam copies of SS.
Great work, I've been playing this on Dark Crusade, and I like very much the Soulstorm version ;)
Hi, I do not speak English. I can only speak dictionary. I do not work with the download. It says the page does not exist. Several people are trying to spend it, but they did not know either.
We have it hosted at an alternate location as well if you want to try there too:
Dawnofwar.gamefront.com
great mod, there is only 1 thing missing, tyranid guards, i remember when i was younger i used to play with the models, and they were used to protect the hive tyrant, just an idea, thanks
