we have cancelled plans for this mod.

launch the game, go to Options/Video/Advanced

you will see a slider control for Shader Level, move it all the way to the right, and then back to the left 1.

In options/video/advanced settings, you will find a slider control for “shader detail” — move the slider 1 position away from the right side

If you need help, come to our discord chat and we will be happy to help you out more, for it is easier to chat there: Discord.gg

if you have an AMD graphics card, you need to turn the shaders down 1 level. This is bug with the core game files not being fully compatible with shader 3 tech and AMD cards. If you have an nvidia graphics card and and AMD processor, you need to make sure the game is running off of your GPU and not the CPU.

We have made our mod using the most current methods for texture/shader creation and discovered in the process this bug with the game engine and hardcoded issues. Old game, we pushed it to the limits, and discovered some messes from the the original creation of the game that just cannot be solved.

Turning your shaders down 1 level will solve the issue, we offer support and help on our discord server too

Should be a fun ship to play with:

4 medium turbos
6 AA lasers
10 light lasers
2 heavy torpedo launchers
4 concussion missile launchers
deploy 1 squadron of X4 gunships
power to engines
power to shields

we have replaced the capturable Pirate Asteroid Base with the Errant Venture. We did not have time to complete our Pirate Asteroid Base model, so Wic thought this would be fun. Now, anyone who plays a skirmish map that used to have a Pirate Base on it can capture the Errant Venture and build a whole roster of smuggler type ship, while also using the EV.

It is just something fun we did for skirmish :)

UPDATE:

-- THERE IS A BUG WITH THE MISSILE DEFENSE SATELLITE
DO NOT BUILD.

we are investigating this and a patch will be made ready after New Years.

^ these are instructions posted by a player who had both AMD Graphics Card and AMD processor

the option to change is usually found in the Graphic Card control panel options, if you join our discord, there are several there who can help and assist who have been able to do this successfully, I am just not certain exactly what instructions to give since I do not currently have any AMD products

Yuuzhan Vong At War -- VONG RELEASE
version 1.0.0EA

We Welcome You to PLAY AS THE VONG!!!

-- NOTE --
We still have a few bugs that we intend to fix after New Years, please help report any issues to our vong server here at: Discord.gg

--- AMD graphic card problem patched---
for people with AMD Graphic cards only who experience invisible units, you need to turn your shader settings down by -1 from full shader detail in options/video/advance - shader detail. This is a glitch with AMD graphics cards, not our mod. We have patched this so that Full Shaders are able to be displayed at -1 setting to enjoy our work. Everyone else who does NOT use an AMD graphic card should be able to play the game on full shader settings and experience no problems. IF YOU USE AN AMD PROCESSOR, note: you must change the game to run on GPU instead of CPU, by following these instructions: Steamcommunity.com

Yuuzhan Vong At War is a multiplayer skirmish enhancement mod for EAW/FOC. We are focused on enhancing graphics, specialized balancing and competitive gameplay, changing many elements of the game to provide a fresh and new approach to playing.

We recommend a clean install of our mod, with NO Additional Files in the game folders -- ONLY THE GAME, nothing else to ensure the smoothest play experience - we test this on about 8 different computers with people in EU and USA and have no problems.

Load mod by starting FOC, going to options/mods/select our mod and let it reload, enjoy

Thank you for enjoying our work and being our fans!

Thank you to Farseer for the great particle work, you really helped bring the Vong alive. Thank you our testers for your much appreciated help in patching the AMD invisibility issue, this could not be solved without your help :)

We are still fixing some text issues, and adjusting some projectile speeds, but here are some change notes:

- Play as the VONG!
- New Polus Map updated
- AMD Graphic Card Patched (play as -1 from full shader settings to fix ONLY if using an AMD Graphics Card
- If using an AMD Processor and an Nvidea Graphics Card: make game play off of the GPU instead of CPU by instructions here: Steamcommunity.com

He did say, you can find it right there 2 messages up ^

;)

We are in the final prep stages of making the Vong release... tweaks, balancing changes and some new special features have been added. We also fixed a new map to be played with : Polus

You're nailing the detail great with these Far

awesome particle work by Farseer right there,

He advertises commission work on our Vong Discord, find him here for anything you need : Discord.gg

Honestly, our greatest achievement. Massive model, high def texture that shows more detail when zooming, ambient occlusion, shadows and a blistering array of weapons. This is the Vong Space Station.

all photos are in-game photos on full shader detail.

Thanks for the support, we are making progress, we are still here just working very hard and trying to get everything ready :)

The Vong are EVIL.... you WILL suffer...

:)

Come join our discord, listen in to our discussions and try to find people to play multiplayer with for that is where our mod become truly exciting, you can even challenge one of our pro-devs too, who love to explain the tricks and tactics used.

Thank you for being a fan :)

we are still working on it.. making progress... we are hoping that we might have something after the Halloween release, but we are certainly working on it, issue is not just the actual shader, for we had a shader that was tested to work... so progress is being made

kad is no longer working with us, so that was his idea. He was never able to finish it.

Due to the core team moving on, we are trying to get as much released for skirmish while also attempting to setup a framework for Galactic Conquest that should be easy for others to continue with. We wish to make this a community driven project, where if the community wants more, and is willing to help, we will gladly teach anything that is needed to be known and will support with coding everything.

To expand the project further, we really need help with rigging models and creating UV's for model texturing. Wariscool has promised to always support the mod with coding and I promise to always support the mod with new textures - if we have community help to continue finishing models. Rigging and UV work is easy, just takes time, but is not hard to do. We have had several volunteers help out so far, and we are pretty positive we will have a nice surprise to announce (a new faction) after the Halloween Vong release. So the more people who are helping, the more can be made for everyone to enjoy.

as of now, we are only doing space, if people want ground units, they can offer to help, the but the core team is moving on to make a new game. We are teaching volunteers to take over production of the Vong mod. The core guys have a whole new unique game that they have been hired to make.

You can put this mod in your mods folder and try it. It should work just fine, but the game itself is no longer being patched the developers, petroglyph is only patching the steam version.

If you download the mod and put in your Mods folder, it will run just fine, but if it doesn't, that is probably due to the actual game not being supported by petroglyph anymore, except for steam.

thanks for the 1 review. perhaps if you LOOKED on our page you would see we actually host it here for non-steam users as well.

thank you for your support, we are trying our best, and listen to community feedback, we wish to make what the People want, so please add comments to our discord and We WILL LISTEN. Discord.gg

Thank you for being a fan :)

a non-steam (unsupported) version will be uploaded here to Mod DB soon

Thank you for being our fans :)
