Brace for impact. Release day is here, after almost 5 years of work, Apex Studios finally brings you the first release of Covenant at War.
This release, as stated in the previous update is a SPACE SKIRMISH ONLY beta version, including both the UNSC and Covenant sides. There will be regular patches following this first release to fix any issues found and add plenty of new content.
Install Instructions:
It's easy. In fact, even if you forgot it, you could look it up easily, either here or with the included read me file. You only need to extract the downloaded zip file into your Star Wars: Empire at War - Forces of Corruption directory, copy the shortcut file to your desktop and change its target to reflect your installation path.

Install troubles up that wazoo! Winrar gets constant errors when I extract to the SWFOC Folder, So I extract it to a separate folder on desktop and move over files such as "Mods" Folder to replace the "Mods" I have in FOC i try to put the target for the icon but it doesn't work no matter what i put so i either did something wrong in those steps i posted or I need the exact "Start In" & "Target" >>>>>>> C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption <<<<<< Jus Fix this for Target & Start In so i can copy paste both & If that is it i'm good you're the best.
The most likely reason you got errors when trying to extract into your SWFOC folder is that you didn't run Winrar as administrator so it didn't have permission to edit that folder. Aside from that, just move the icons, and if the file path is incorrect just right click and go into the properties to modify it to the correct filepath. If none of that helps Pm me with whatever new problem arises and I'll help you out.
I don't remember how to work the filepath.. thas why i posted in my first comment for the C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption To be fixed for both Start In & Target because i forgot how
Alright,
Start in "C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption"
Target "C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption\swfoc.exe MODPATH=Mods\CaW"
Those will be the correct start in and target for the CaW shortcut, assuming you don't have it installed with steam.
hey i tryed the start in and target but it wont work i really want to play this plz help
If the shortcut doesn't work try the batch file (included, usually succesfull) or try the petrolauncher :)
Cheers that worked but I get halo space units and star wars ground units
Please actually read the description, this is a space skirmish only release.
O yer lol wish it was both nw that will be amazing cheers for the help
the batch file doesn't work for me, and the shortcut doesn't let me change it because the paths are invalid.
can you please help im stuck trying to get this mod to run properly!! thx
i have it installed with steam
what do i need to do to get it to work?
hey i got SW FoC on Stem and i cant get this mod to work can you tell me where i need to put my files and all
It's all in the Readme guys, it's not called a 'Read me' for nothing! :P
i dont have the program to read it or i would :p
It's a PDF file, which you can open with Acrobat Reader. That program should be on your pc by default, unless you build your own pc. You can get it here for free: Get.adobe.com

you got any idea on how to do it for steam?
So I've been having an issue with my files not finding the targets. I copy and paste what you've provided here but when I hit apply or OK I get a message saying, "The name (insert name of Target or Start) specified in the (Target or Start box) is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct" Idk what to do here, I really want to try this mod but I've never gotten this to work.
What if i do have it installed with steam?? I tried following the correct filepath and I can't get it to work.
get a mod launcher i have like 30 mods in one mod folder in my swfoc and they play excelent even this one
FINALLY! my life is partially complete
You know what they say: "The longer you wait for something, the more you appreciate it" :D
Finally! Now I go to work on merging this with Campaign Commander. The full Halo RTS is here, we just have to stitch it together.
dont suppose you'd mind sharing that around a bit? :)
Alright kids, it seems that accomplishing this isn't nearly as easy as overwriting the right files over others from their respective mods and crossing your fingers. This will take some serious XML and possibly script edits to accomplish a successful mod merge, sorry for the false hope folks. I've tried many combinations and any way you slice it ends up crashing like a paper airplane soaked in water. This business requires experience to pull off.
Congrats on the release, can't wait to play!
Thanks men, you made a greatest mod!
Thank you very much, we appreciate it a lot!
I'm having trouble installing the mod, because the Instructions are very vague. And I've never messed with properties for my games before.
Any help would be appreciated =]
Like maybe a copy and paste for what I have to put in lol
You can copy and paste the 'mods' folder (present in the rar) into your c/programfiles/lucasarts/star wars empire at war forces of corruption folder. You'll need either the shortcut/batch or the petrolauncher to play it.
You'll have to change the settings of the shortcut accordingly to the Readme. But since you said you've never done that before, it may be easier for you to download the petrolauncher and use that. This way you'll only have to copy-paste/extract the 'mods' folder from the rar to the above mentioned location.
I can not download the mod
do you have any links to a launcher that works on windows 7?
I do not know of a launcher designed specifically for windows 7, but I am sure both the petrolauncher and the shortcut (if set properly) both work (I can use them).
I'm having a few problems too, most of them having to do with the Gold Edition on Steam. I think I installed the mod alright enough, but no matter what I do the game always boots up the original EaW, which doesn't support the mod. Any ideas on how I could get it to run? Thanks!
i got the same problem dude.
HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF JESUS ITS HERE AND IT AWESOME.
No lo puedo descargar Y.Y
I would really appreciate an english comment next time, translaters are hard to work with :P
Have you tried the second link in the news post? (this one: Halocaw.net)
EDIT: sorry I just saw the other (english) post you made.
First the Stargate mod and now this? This month has been great!
Downloading now. I doubt I'll be disappointed.
Never mind, I got it to work just fine! So far I'm loving it a lot, but the UNSC ships seem to have a hard time staying pointed at what I want them to aim at. While this is probably a leftover from the AI the original Star Wars ships used, it is a tad bit annoying when I want them to aim straight to fire their MACs at a wave of incoming Covies, and all tjey keep aiming completely backwards.
Also, it seems like that Longsword and Shortsword have their names swapped ^^; Other than that, it seems almost unreal to be playing this, I wouldn't bat an eyelash if you charged for it!
Great to hear you got it to work. We don't really have a lot of experience with steam or the gold pack so I am glad it's working fine now :)
The UNSC aiming can be lousy at times, but I usually 'solve' this by letting the AI handle the aiming. Getting the ships close or at least moving in the right direction really helps at times. So let's hope it'll help you too :P
How did you get it to work? I also downloaded the gold edition off Steam and I have no idea what to do.
Never mind, I figured it out. If anyone is wondering what to do when you download it off of steam, it is in the read me.
how did you get it to work?

I get an "XML directory" error thing.
Syntac error in unique units to be precise.
This is an unknown problem to us. We did have a bug with the CCS cruiser giving off a syntax error, but that one does not utilize the unique units xml. Please PM the error to Blamtroid.
my read me won't work any ideas why not
