A mod that modifies the Soulstorm campaign. In this mod, you can see global abilities on the metamap from Dark Crusade, improved global abilities from SS (using the Tau Ar"Ka cannon in battle; fast and automatic reinforce of Ork's abilities; the ability of a Space Marine that provides access to a special building with a deepstrike, etc.), edited versions of ALL maps, enhanced strongholds, a unique atmosphere at the moment, which includes graphics, a unique musical atmosphere, dynamic weather, as well as a variety of sounds of the maps themselves (birdsong, sea noises, etc.), improved AI and many other changes.

UPD: For those who missed text under latest version of mod: since very few people responded to testing new version, we had to release it as is. Given activity of audience and their interest in modification, I hasten to assume that this version will not come out of beta testing (that is, it is not a fact that work on mod will continue, this applies, among other things, to bug fixes). Most likely (99.99%) modification will no longer be supported. Anyone can continue development of project by first discussing this point with me.
A mod that modifies the Soulstorm campaign. In this mod, you can see global abilities on the metacart from Dark Crusade, improved global abilities from SS (using the Tau Ar"Ka cannon in battle; fast and automatic reinforce of Ork's abilities; the ability of a Space Marine that provides access to a special building with a deepstrike, etc.), edited versions of ALL maps, enhanced strongholds, a unique atmosphere at the moment, which includes graphics, a unique musical atmosphere, dynamic weather, as well as a variety of sounds of the maps themselves (birdsong, sea noises, etc.), improved AI and many other changes.
I need help translating the mod into English. Comrade jackdosherack has prepared a machine translation, but it requires edits.

By downloading and installing the modification, you agree that you have carefully read the FAQ section (located below).
I don't want to waste my time on people who are "in the trash" to spend 5 minutes of THEIR time reading this section.
Comments and questions, the essence of which will proceed from the non-reading of this section, will be ignored, deleted or subjected to sharp criticism (the latter, in particular, concerns messages on the topic of departures when switching to the metacart (p. 10 of the FaQ), as well as the death of attached guard units after switching to the metacart (p.21 of the FaQ)). Ignorance of the laws, as they say, does not exempt from responsibility.

Campaign missions is incompatible with lite.
Nevermind i just need to use the other version available.
Of course, latest version of mod is required, this is indicated in description of addon. I'm glad you figured it out.
I have installed the mod. So far everything is going well. The only problem is, as soon as I click on campaign mode, the font disappears and is replaced by squares. Text is now unreadable throughout campaign mode. In the main menu of the game itself, the font is correct.
Now any major modification requires a little more than just throwing mod into folder with game and running it, including due to increased system requirements. You need to read description of latest version of mod on download page, there is also correct installation procedure, including the installation of English texts. Initially, the modification translated into Russian, but you need to go to one of the optional folders and put English
No one installs an operating system through the BIOS without first knowing the installation procedure, right?)
When will the new version be released?
The answer to this question was exhaustively given in one of my comments below (plus, above video, you can also find a paragraph on topic).
In short, I do not plan to release any more versions, reasons were also discussed)
What about Demon Prince: in campaign it can be obtained in same way as in vanilla version of game, but in skirmish I simply did not consider it necessary to add it)
It's a bit regrettable.
Why doesn't Chaos have a demon prince?
