Technical issues Thread - Codex mod for Dawn of War

I am not sure what happened, but after I copied the files for the Codex mod into my DoW Soulstorm folder, I went to try out the mod, and when I start a skirmish match, I get a message that says Fatal Scar Error - Execution Paused. This is dreadfully embarrassing, but I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me with this problem.

are you trying an apocalypse or massive battles game on a 2 player map, or 4 players on a 4 player map with either of those conditions?
Basically, what conditions are you using, what size map, no of players?
after that, it may be time for the console............

encountered " data sync error" when playing multiplayer but not with corsairs.

Hi, sorry for my bad english So, my problem is that when i'm starting this mod, all textures (including buildings and all squads) are purple boxes. What have I done wrong? I have Soulstorm v.1.2, but it's russian version, without tyranids mod and any other. Please, help!

@Darth_Malloc and bsgodlike, make sure you don't have both the Extreme Battles and Apocalypse WCs turned on, only have 1.

yep, for one, the data sync error is an intermitted issue with the game on multiplayer. It's a relic issue, been there for every interation of the game. Google it. Not something we're gonna be able to do anything about.

BIG problem boothy! 3.4 is crashing for me while loading a 3v3 or 4v4 game. I will test 2v2 but 1v1 works.
Note this is just me vs all AI, no other humans.

--edit: it seems to be certain maps and certain combinations of races. One map that is crashing is a 3v3 called 'Confrontation'. I tried all IG races, Annihilate-Takd and Hold-Control Area and it worked. When I tried setting up a 3v3 earlier on the same map with Space Marines, Space wolfs, IG, Tau, Chaos, Lost and Damned, it crashed. I also crashed with other combinations of races. More testing is needed, but maybe some races AI doesn't like large maps and crashes?

AI gets such a bad rep un-fairly I think. As far as I know there's no CTDs in the AI in codex at present, since I fixed Tau.

The size of the map makes no difference really, i've run loads of games across 8 player maps with no problems too

OK, I've had that map played through twice with exactly those conditions, no probs, so going to ask what sort of rig are you playing on?

Oh, and you don't have apocalypse or massive battles on either do you?

Hi I'm also seing pink boxes why is this and how do I fix this

Replied in PM.

hi,

after i modiefied my codex-module to play with tyranids and the BTmod i get pink-boxes too. (e.g the resource points are replaced with it). i first tried to copy my 3.5 codex-module from the "codex_3_5" folder into my soulstorm folder but that didnt gave me the two races so i did this(see below) to my codex_3_5.module in the soulstorm folder:

[global]
UIName = Dawn of War: Codex (3.5)
Description =
Playable = 1
DllName = WXPMod
ModFolder = codex_3_5
ModVersion = 3.5
TextureFE =
TextureIcon =

DataFolder.1 = &#xLO;CALE%\Data
DataFolder.2 = Data
DataFolder.3 = Data_Shared_Textures\&#xTE;XTURE-LEVEL%
DataFolder.4 = Data_Sound\&#xSO;UND-LEVEL%
DataFolder.5 = Data_Music
DataFolder.6 = Data_Whm\&#xMO;DEL-LEVEL%

RequiredMod.1 = Tyranids
RequiredMod.2 = BTmod
RequiredMod.3 = DXP2
RequiredMod.4 = W40k

now i can play both races but i also got the pink-boxes... ohh and i have installed Tyranids and the BT-Mod(with the Skirmish AI) .. all latest versions..

so please help^^

To be honest, i'm not sure. All I can suggest is a re-download and install of everything...maybe boothy knows....

Oh did you get any errors while extracting the RAR files for the mod?

If it's just the strategic and relic points that are pink blobs it would suggest that your missing the objective_points_ss mod that tyranids needs (although little surprised that it would even start without it).

Can get that at revora forums, and would suggest that you use 0.51b nids at the moment if you using. 52.

Ok, I've just about had it with trying to do it myself so I'm coming to the experts. Basically I've got some serious texture issues, not just with resources and relics but with structures and units as well, wont even show up in the army painter. I am also told that when i try to extract the files using 7- zip (my extraction tool) it tells me the files are corrupted. i have now re downloaded all three files at least four times apiece and i am told that each time. Some help would be extremely appreciated, others have been having this same trouble too (see latest comments for base file 2, including my own). I've been waiting to play this for quite a while, I hope you guys can help in anyway.

Thanks.

Ironically, the same thing happens to me. I've tried using a different extractor, downloading and extracting off another PC, running it as an admin and turning UAC. Odly enough turning off UAC has worked in the past, so it might work for you.

Hope this helps.

So I've downloaded everything in order. Using Winrar i extract all the files in the soulstorm folder (Using steam if that makes a difference). As of now i basically have the pink box mod (absolutely nothing isn't a pink box). So i know it has something to do with the models otherwise id get them with bad textures if it wasn't. Should i use the alternate download link provided (smaller files) or is it just game over? Cause i constantly get the corrupted/unexpected end of archive error in winrar. I also have UAC turned off. Also are there any additional mods i need to download?

It's worth a shot, i haven't tries the alternate downloads, so it might work.

wowza it worked lol.

Oh nice, I better try it aha! Glad it works

Sorry i should've elaborated, i meant to say re download the main files in order then in a separate folder extract all at the same time, i never once got any error messages. Now that it can work and i can play ill be following this mods progress and expect much positive input from me in the future. great job

Ah thanks dude, I'll try it Nice, glad we've got another follower!

the models of the building and units keep showing up as pink boxes, how do you fix it?

Re-download and re-extract; sometimes issues happen during the download process.

I have tried three download mirrors so far but base code part 2 is freaking corrupted everytime its that ork page thing and then upon transfer it tells me other files are missing PLEASE FIX this mod or up a torrent or something, torrents have file verification to ensure NON corrupted archives thankyou
