Which OS are you on? Be sure to add an exception to your Antivirus as well since I've got reports of some Antivir programs messing with the Mod Manager.

It's an archive file such as .zip or .rar. You gonna need the 7zip program in order to extract that archive. You can get it from here 7-zip.org note that this program can also handle the most other archive types and is thus a very useful in itself. I very recommend getting this if you did not so already.

The Mod Manager will only show you if Mods are either missing or installed. There's no backend behind it and thus will not automatically update/download anything for you, if that was your question.

Says i'm missing free ui - required mod#1 for chaos daemons and when i load the loading screen says dawn of war ultimate apocalypse edition but its just the normal game *i only tried with skirmish*

UA overwrites the loading screen and thus will always stay the same no matter what mod you gonna load.

You won't need FreeUI when you're playing UltimateApocalypse_THB since it has it already included! You would need that only if wanted to play the Chaos Daemons Mod WITHOUT UA.

Only take care of what the loaded Mods dialog says for the particular Mod you want to play. Multiple Mods don't stand in causal relationship to each other. Meaning that even if you're missing FreeUI for the Chaos Daemons mod you can still play UA nicely since both loadouts are independant.

in your future update, can you make it compatible for 32bit PC's? it would be a great thing, and more fans would enjoy it :)

Actually I see no reason why it shouldn't work on 32 Bit machines so far, yet i've ssen that complaint a few times now. Which OS are you using? As the dotNET version that my Mod Manager uses may causes issues on older Windows versions such as WinXP.

Yes, it has issues on WinXP. Every time I open the application, it says "not compatible with 32bit" Guess because the OS is too old and the DoW Mod Manager was made recently. I have WinXP Service Pack 3, and I hope that sooner or later it will be compatible with WinXP. UA is a great mod for Soulstorm and one of my favorites, everything went perfect but this is an issue. Wish you the best :)

How do i merge mods together? I want to merge Ultimate Apocalypse The new Factions with an AI mod i have downloaded, base game AI sucks.

Reply Good karma Bad karma+1 vote
FragJacker Author

That's probably not going to work since UA has it's own customly tailored AI made by the Thudmeizer mod team which is very likely that he also made that AI Mod you downloaded if it is DowPro you speak of.

The Mod merge mostly works for merging independant race mods into each other so you can play them alltogether in one game.

Are you sure the respective .module file is place? As that's what the Mod Manager is looking for.

Apply the LAA patch Moddb.com to both the Soulstorm.exe and GraphicsConfig.exe and then restart the Mod Manager.

Ok, so I'm getting an error that causes me to be unable to use the manager at all.

Here is a transcription of what the error pop-op says:

Pop-up title ----> Microsoft .NET Framework

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dawn of War Soulstorm\DoW Mod Manager Resources\Checkmark.png


Ok, so that's the transcript. It should be noted that despite this, I do indeed have the "checkmark" resource. I really have no idea what is going on here. If I click continue, I'm able to get to the manager, but keep getting this pop-op anyhtime I click on anything, making it impossible ot use.

What am I supposed to do?

Reply Good karma Bad karma+2 votes

There's a resource folder called "DoW Mod Manager Resources" which contains the icons. This folder must be on the same directory level as the "DoW Mod Manager.exe" file. Don't put the resource directory in a subdirectory.

So when for example your Mod Manager executable is in "..\Dawn of War - Soulstorm\DoW Mod Manager v1.4.exe" the resource folder must be there as well being "..\Dawn of War - Soulstorm\DoW Mod Manager Resources".

Hope that fixed your issue ^^.

I have a concern for this mod. Why does my Graphics Config LAA say inactive.

You need to run the LAA patch manually for both soulstorm.exe AND graphicsconfig.exe and then both flags should be green once you restart the Mod Manager app.

Hey boss, im trying to set up the ultimate apocalypse mod, and i might've just messed up and overlooked something since im pretty new to modding like this, and its saying that under Chaos_Daemons it says im missing the RequiredMod.1=FreeUI. Should I be concerned about this or I can run the game?

Ignore this if you want to play UA. To see if you can play a particular mod, select that particular Mod and see if all dependencies are met.

The entries in mod list don't stand in causal relationship to each other.

For some reason the Mod Manager won't let me run Ultimate Apocalypse due to me apparently not having UltimateApocalypse_Tyranids even though i can see it in the game folder, and i have installed the Tyranids mod so i know its not that.

Reply Good karma Bad karma+1 vote
FragJacker Author

The Mod Manager scans for the .module files. So if the Tyranids.module does not exist it'll mark the mod as not installed. My guess would be that either the installer was corrupted or didn't install properly into your soulstorm directory.

Eventhough you may see the tyranid mod folder,the folder itself would be either empty or crucial files could be missing somewhere in the project.

A possible fix could be this:

1.Create a new folder somewhere

2.Redirect the Mod installer to let it install its contents into the newly made folder

3.Copy&Paste; the contents of that folder manually into your soulstorm directory.

Hope that helped ya!

I'm getting an error when I try to combine modded race using the mod merger. Says the process can't be completed because the program is being used by other sources, but I´m pretty sure nothing is actually using them. Any ideas?

Maybe you had a another instance running in the background that never terminated? Also try running with admin rights just to be sure you have the necessary file operation permissions.

It's an archive file. In order to unzip it you need the program 7zip 7-zip.org.

Okay, having a serious issue trying to run Salcol's with the mod manager, it's telling me that Objective_Points_UA isn't installed, but the mod itself does not name itself that. It's objective_points_ss_ua. It works fine for THB but not for Salcol's So I can't run Salcol's at all currently.
