New Linear Campaign UI
The mod features a new UI system capable of bypassing the metamap, and hence allowing you to play a linear campaign in DoW. We are designing a multi branched scenario and custom dlls to create a unique linear campaign manager. this allow us to track key event and scenario choice made by the player and to store them for future missions. It also allos the mod to open and close scenarios path unfolding on several maps.
Choose your way and consider every action consequence before any move, the Emperor eye is on you and the only light in the darkness is your faith in Him.
Features
Play as AS and ID forces!
A new seamless army-switch ability will be present, allowing you to control multiple armies at once…those being the AS and ID mod forces. Like large battles? You’re going to love this.
A thought provoking Plot
We have slaved away at creating an amazing plot spanning 12 missions that is both engrossing and is true to fluff. Unfortunately i wont be giving anything away about the plot; you will only find the details out when this is released and you're playing it! However, let me introduce some of our main characters:

Lord Inquisitor Uther Harme:
A recently elevated Lord Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus, Uther has served the Inquisition for over a century. He is a staunch puritan and is dedicated to the pursuit of his Thorian ideals and objectives. He is well-respected among his peers, and his clear and keen mind has foiled many a traitor and a heretic.
Canoness Commander Alona:
Orphaned at an early age, Alona entered the service of the Adeptus Ministorum early in her childhood, it was not until her actions during the Heresies of Garius that she distinguished herself by slaying a group of armed marauders threatening her abbey with little more than her faith and a blunt object. Her actions earned her the esteem of the Ecclesiarchy and the interest of the Adepta Sororitas, eventually culminating into her initiation into the Order of the Sacred Rose. She has distinguished herself throughout roughly a century of service to the Ecclesiarchy, eventually rising to the rank of Canonness Commander. She currently commands the Commandery of her Order situated on the holy Shrine World of Gamede III.
Lord Inquisitor Selenis Artime:
Lord Inquisitor Selenis has persecuted innumerable deviants and heretics during her long and glorious service in the Ordo Malleus. However, the work of a Daemonhunter is accompanied by great perils to mind and body, and even the most experiences of Inquisitors have fallen to dark temptation. Questions and doubts concerning her activities have been raised in some circles of her colleagues in the past, but her unimpeachable record of service, influence, and the general lack of any substantive evidence mean that few Inquisitors take such things seriously. Despite this, a few agents of the Inquisition still doubt the purity of her distinguished record in the service of the Inquisition and the wholesomeness of her methods.

Life and modding goes on like the tide on the shore, back and forth, up and low, rise and fall.
Darkness Within campaign is nearing completion (again...) like a wave growing and moving forward.
When standing on the shore and comtempling the ocean you see it aproching the sand and wonder if it will make it to the beach or fall without noise.
Well... i need modelling work done : so if you have this kind of skill and are willing to create something pm me
what else ?
"hey Jag, learn 3d and stop bothering people !" ....well, this i should have done 10 years ago, it is better to have creation freedom than depending on others.
thanks for your support !!

Sleeping is not dying. I intend to reactivate Darness Within, so...who is in?
"this is the end beautiful friend" JM times have changed and people too. modding is over for me.
Do anyone of you are able to report any problem with the mods you have already installed before steam update this month.
Spring 2014 as seen new deceloppement and some new energy to the campaign and I do hope that the first book will be completed this summer.
Its only for Dark Crusade, because of Witch hunt?
Base it just on Deamon hunter, Black templars and maybe even others like in Search and Rescue mod or Stronghold mod and make it for Soulstorm, I would say. In all respect of course.
Images shows it has strong rpg features,more like DoW II, is it?
Rather then being classic DoW.
Anyway,it looks awesome.
No, its only for Dark Crusade because of it used mastercrafted DLL, which have no analogues for SS (made specifically for DC), as far, as I remember. More info and example how it works, are here Forums.relicnews.com Forums.relicnews.com
It has been "based" years ago, so it's a bit too late for that ^^ And I'm quite sure it was before Soulstorm release.
You are both of you right about that, the foundation of Darkness Within dates back BEFORE SS was launched and before we get sister of battles. Our campaign is based on content only working in DC and with a dc map editor. Everyone should be aware that as far as i know DW is the only mod featuring custom dll, the linear campaign manager is the only one working in this modding world, it enables very flexible linear campaign or semi-linear but needs these dlls.
the news i posted above explain clearly what is the problem.
INCOMPATIBILITY OF CURRENT DARKNESS WITHIN CAMPAIGN WITH DARK CRUSADE STEAM VERSION MAY 2014 UPDATE IS CONFIRMED; IF STEAM KEEP IT THIS WAY THIS MOD WONT BE AVAILABLE TO STEAM PLAYER AND WILL ONLY WORK WITH CD VERSION OF DC !!!!!
unless we find a solution.....
We really need this to be clarified by Relic support responsible for DC deployment on steam, you can add your stone to the pile here and ask for attention from Noun (relic developer) here :
Steamcommunity.com
thanks for your support. ill' keep you updated
There is another mod for DC, which use "custom dll, the linear campaign manager", but it was not announced ever.
That does not negate the fact that mod exists, functional and playable. It just not finished :D
And of course it's not as cool, sophisticated and refined as Darkness Within mod.
It is Oscar Saribaldes "Fall of Cyrene" campaing mod converted to Dark Crusade. Reworks of 6 from 8 missions are finished.

What about Steam-DC problem, I have nothing to say: Steam refused to activate my legal key of Dark Crusade CD version. (But it took my SS key, so I have now both SS1.2 and SS1.3, installed on different hd-drives).
Never knew of that mod until now. Thank you! :)
Great news about Oscar mod !! he was the first one to make a Dow functional campaign. Why the DC conversion was never released ?
Could you test it under steam version to see if we have the same problem. (once you got Dc-Steam activated .....)
i'll curious toknow aht tech was used to make linear manager and which dlls...you can pm me.
JL
Steam refused to activate my legal key of Dark Crusade, so I have no Steam-DC
yeah they did the same to me with winnter assualt and DC
There must be an entire collection of DOW series as a low cost bundle? Its been out long enough. Still play DC because it offers different maps & its still kool!
Recent Steam update on DarkCrusade may turn Darkness within incompatible with SteamDc , read news above !
JL
Hopefully it won't be too difficult to fix, but from the sound of things, there's even further patches coming for DOW on Steam, so efforts to fix it might be undone right away.
Just one thing to say. Ah ah ah.
One day people will understand Steam ***** you from behind.
Can someone link me this mod? I can't find it
which mod are you looking for ? Darkness Within ?? it is not yet released ;)
