The objective of this mod is, as is it implied in the name is to bring the Ultramarines TT models and structure of the Ultramarines in-game to the Dawn of War: Soulstorm game. We have a very detailed tech-tree fleshed out and built in-game all the while the remaining models are completed. All voices are recorded but we continue to add extras (like Tyrannical War Veterans Rhino and Deathwatch Razorback) especially since GWS recently released the updated SM Codex (may include new units like Centurions but those are not "in-scope" currently)
This is 4vs4 map for Dawn of War Soulstorm. Check out screenshot to see what it looks like.
Dood, Jones, this map looks AMAZING! A really well done map that I haven't seen in a long time... so downloading. :)
Благодарю за интересную и уникальную карту, скачал, сыграл мне понравилось, обязательно скачаю и остальные карты как выйдут.
Very coool!!
Thanks modlord1
hey Jones you got Myrmidon for BT mod ? good choice !
Hi friend ZmajOgnjeniVuk
sorry i was not very helpfull with your blocking terrain issue, i was so busy !
Anyway you did a very good job with this map and even if some of the path are a bit narrow at some places, the map is fun to play and offer a lot of different styles and strategies.
You made a good scenery and combine the environment elements available to make a unique feeling and immersive battlefield.
one remark : try not to make such a heavy use of the water puddle and rain drops Fx because it will induce a bad lag on some computer (especialy if you begin to play with camera angles)
if you need help with minimap you know where to find me.
rating :
originality : 8/10 complex design, well executed. original use of scenery
ambiance : 7/10
playability : 6.5/10 (because of the narrow path,and unbalanced when dealing with race with big projection capacity such as eldar or dark eldar. jumper vehiculs and flying units are really advantaged by terrain. IG will suffer a real nightmare)
technical mapping : 7/10 homogenous map well executed and nothing unfinished or hastly done , i like obstinate and passionate mappers.
overall rating : 7.5/10 well done !

Hey JL, you did help, that initial SCAR code you sent worked like a charm after I changed position of the markers themselves. Thanks for the suggestions and overall evaluation on the map. I know that the paths can be narrow from time to time, that was the intention and what I always want to say and always forget is the use of transport vehicles. They can be rally helpful when you need to storm the bridges and do it fast.
Hey guys, can anyone tell me how can I contact freaking support of Mod DB without going to the forums-support. I tried that about 6-7 days ago and got no answer. Is this standard waiting period or am I just being ignored. The thing is I can't find DOW in the linking stage of an upload, Jones1979 checked this out and confirmed it, so you can see my problem here. I have one more finished map waiting and one more map, some 50-60 percent over and I would like to upload them normally.
Yes, perhaps the only way to spread/upload something to dow, left to us, is to create "your own" mod. But it works, and your map currently linked to DOW game, and backward, DOW game contains your map in "addons" list: I.imgur.com I.imgur.com
From my side, I am ready to upload your maps under the "BT mod", until the end of century. Or even better, I can add you into our Dev. Group, so you will able to upload your map by yourself, and link them to BT and IDH mod, and thus to DOW game :)
In that case, add me to your dev group. I appreciate the help :) and enthusiasm you showed in regards of my mapping work.
Cheers
Zmaj
P.S. for being so awesome :D

This map is so fun to play real good job here :) Unfortunately due to playing the UA mod i have to use the extended cameras so i can see more of the map, but with this map having the sky i can't see very much :( I tried editing the map myself to remove the sky but then all the decals just disappeared which was a shame, with the two maps uploaded would it be too much to ask them to uploaded as a different version without the sky please? I want to be able to see it in all its beauty!! (but keep the rain, i like that :P )
Cheesey, thanks for the download. I'm glad that you like the map, I did try to make it good. As far as sky thing goes, have you tried extending sky radius in Mission Editor. I think that original sky is about 400 or close, why don't you try expanding it more.I don't know how do all decals disappear if you remove the sky, but you can try to open the map in mission editor, change the option to "no sky" I think, and there you go. You won't have the sky troubling you. Hope this helps.
Yeah that's what i tried but all the custom decals and things which you have made and put in disappear as soon as i open the map up, just leaving pink question marks everywhere :/ They are in a playable state its just i can imagine they look much better without the errors :)
Cheesey man, I tried last night to delete the skybox file from SS main folder and it worked. The sky was gone but nothing else was missing. I don't know what could be causing your problem with decals. I'm sorry but at the moment I can't "fix" the map. I'm currently working on two maps and some stuff besides and really can't spare time to something else. Don't want to appear as a smart *** but why don't you zoom in enough so the sky is not a problem. Cheers Cheesey
I'll try deleting the file then see is that sorts it cheers :) and i just don't like zooming in so close that you can't really organise a full army. If you play the UA mod with the Apocalyzed maps surely you understand? :P
I appreciate you're busy so if the skybox thing doesn't work i'm sure i can make do :p
I hope it will work out for you. Cheers Cheesey :)
Umm... Im kind of confused with the installation. On the read me it says to put the files in each specified folder, but some of them don't have a folder listed beside them. Where do I put them?
Just create those non-existed folders yourself
I understand that, but what about the ones that don't have a label of what folder to put them in/folder to create?
For example one might say in the read me "Myrmidon Prime (8) (TGA) - THQ/Dawn of War-Soulstorm/DXP2/Data/Scenarios/MP" clearly showing what folder to make where, but what about when it only says "Myrmidon Prime (8) (SGB)" with no specification of where to put it?
Put all files into Soulstorm/DXP2/Data/Scenarios/MP
Except next 2:
- Myrmidon Prime Skybox.whm --> Soulstorm/DXP2/Data/Art/Ebps/Enviroment/Skies
- Loading Screen Myrmidon Prime\Myrmidon Prime (8).tga --> Soulstorm/W40K/Data/Scenarios/MP/Loading
Thanks, I really appreciate that man! Map looks beautiful btw. I hope to see more!
Jones, thanks for timely intervention, I just saw this.
Hey. I am a complete idiot, I know, But I cannot seem to install it. Whenever I check game manager or any of the scenario choices, it doesn't seem to be there. i have looked at the readme file, but it makes no sense to me. I have copied all the files, but nothing works.
No idiots here, just relax friend...and let's get your problem sorted out :D. Follow the instructions Jones outlined in his comment from May 22. Just to be clear, in Readme, in install instructions, if there is no path for placement of certain file it means that you should follow the path already pointed out for some other file close by. Example:
INSTALLATION
Myrmidon Prime (8)_icon - THQ/Dawn of War-Soulstorm/W40K/Data/Scenarios/MP
Myrmidon Prime (8).scar
Myrmidon Prime (8)_mm
Myrmidon Prime (8) (TGA) - THQ/Dawn of War-Soulstorm/DXP2/Data/Scenarios/MP
Myrmidon Prime (8) (SGB)
Myrmidon Prime Skybox (whm) - THQ/Dawn of War-Soulstorm/DXP2/Data/Art/Ebps/Enviroment/Skies
Myrmidon Prime (TGA)(Loading Screen) - THQ/Dawn of War-Soulstorm/W40k/Data/Scenarios/MP/Loading
All of these files...
Myrmidon Prime (8).scar
Myrmidon Prime (8)_mm
Myrmidon Prime (8) (TGA) - THQ/Dawn of War-Soulstorm/DXP2/Data/Scenarios/MP
Myrmidon Prime (8) (SGB)
...go under THQ/DOW-SS/DXP2/Data/Scenarios/MP
I hope this will help you out, it should as it is correct install instruction and I hope you will enjoy the map. Remember, don't rush it.
Cheers mate.
