Yes.

The great work continues.

Recieved you pm and replied; apologies for taking so long to get back to you.

The great work continues but atm its a solo endeavour hence the glacier pace. I do have a DoC discord now though, anyone interested in helping please PM me for a link.

VERY slowly but yes it is still being worked on.

Yes, and i tried reinstalling as well.

But i've further narrowed down the issue,

It seems to be caused when i enable the "Buildings do quadruple damage" win condition.

I'm doing something wrong but i can't figure out what;
every time i try to apply the patch it breaks the mod in such a way that builders can't build.

oooooooooooooooooh what-a-RUSH!!!!

lawl XD

Yes exactly!,
these kinds of things are exactly what im talking about,
there's quite a bit i think could be streamlined in this manner

great Olympia!
JONES up in here too!
Ur still bumpin around this scene eh?

This is good to see,
u r consistantly a positive addition to the 40k modding community.

wow...im both monumentally humbled...and paranoid xD

ok cuz what i need to do is clean up my Flyer Runs mechanic by finding a way to only allow flyers to fire weapons IF they ARE moving; that's the only remaining bug with the SCAR me and JL and co. worked on years ago in the Relic Forums days

Glad to see you're still involved!

Anyone know how to make a modifier for a unit that is triggered based on wether or not that unit is in motion?

Either via code or SCAR or both?

Another idea i've been considering is the occasional open DoC chat on Discord. It would be irresponsible of me to state a set schedule but
once 6 or more people have either replied to this and/or pm'd me about it, i'll set up a Discord chat

There i can clarify details about the various features of DoC
the gameplay variations between the now over 60 armies
me and Zeidra's current long term plans to both get a skirmish AI oriented version of DoC to the public
AND
continue to work on the original larger multiplayer oriented version that first got me started on this crazy journey...

and thank you for the kind words, on behalf of all of us that have worked on this project it means a lot to us that after all the ridiculous setbacks people still like what we're trying to do and want to see it become reality

Should i be doing these as Blogs or is this the best place?

Thing i dislike about the blogs is i have to wait and sometimes they refuse to post it and give no reason

Name researches, upgrades and addons that should be automatically applied to their relevant army to keep the micro streamlined as well as keep gameplay from getting bogged down by a bunch of upgrades that in the scheme of an entire game will make little difference.

Name the research/upgrade/ability/feature and the army or unit(s) that should have it automatically to cut out tedious micro as well as help emphasize the unit or armies character.

i actually have the tank reverse function coded too but while it "functions properly" in terms of weapons "aiming" and applying damage in the proper direction relative to the position of the weaker rear armour...
BUT
visually it LOOKS like a Leman Russ just driving away slowly and firing (animations) in the opposite direction of the enemy (even though damage is dealt properly and in the correct direction)

Regarding Trenches and timeframe vs quality of play cost-benefit analysis:

THEORETICAL: While more time consuming a more visually and strategically appealing form of trench warfare could be implimented by modding the trenches into the maps themselves BUT make them only "unlockable" by armies who specialize in trench warfare. After which point units from any army would be able to use them/fight to gain control of them; and MAYBE even with proper trench bridging, gun nests, the works

PRACTICAL: I'm more confident about being able to create the trench networks, blockhouses, gun nests, even collapsable vehicle bridging...
...than i am in my ability to figure out an army contextual scar that uncovers the trench networks when an trench warfare army chooses to activate them...

Please put ANY and ALL theoretical ideas AND practical concrete knowledge pertaining in replies to this and/or private message me.

Zeidra is correct on all counts.

yes, for right now im just giving them weaker rear armour; but different resistance to side armour attacks could be created quite easily as well.

Thanks!

I HAVE AWOKEN!

So i have this "Reverse gear" coding for tanks...basically just a variant coding of the entrench extension....

....anyone up for editing a Leman Russ or Predator model so it's movement orientation is reversed and the "reverse gear" code can be properly tested?

This would be nice since tanks are coded in such a way that their rear armour is less resistant to damage, not to mention being able to fire with accuracy while simultaneiously retreating or withdrawing...

and i still have all of those voice files for all the armies we talked about.

Also, quick question regarding getting AI armies to make use of map objects during skirmish...will i find what i need for that in the campaign AI code?

Yes; it doesn't hurt to ask i figure

it's a surreal life; don't suppose anyone ever got around to making a Kanak Skulltaker guardsmen model? :P

Thank you for the kind words
and in advance for your patience,
a slow and steady approach is required

Indeed i have awoken...HOPEFULLY for good heh
