Witch Hunter Mod Thread - Ultimate Apocalypse Mod (DOW SS) for Dawn of War

This look very coool, can you add this???:

(I really love the 3D model of the Inquisitors with hat and the models with the shield)

It's not that we don't want to, we can't.

Before Soulstorm was released, it was known the Witch Hunters mod team had professionals making the Sisters of Battle race for Dark Crusade, thus rendering the by then upcoming Soulstorm Sisters of Battle's suboptimal models and super blurry textures obsolete, but that's unrelated, but since they were too good at it, they disbanded, leaving permissions only to a handful from the DoW modding community members to use their assets and disappearing to never be found or contacted again.
UA didn't even exist back then.

Greetings friend Rocket fro the infromation, It's a pitty that you can't integrate that Race, it's seem very cool.

Indeed, the sheer quality of the Witch Hunters models is such that it has yet to be even matched by other works. Shows the amazing extent to which DoW's rendering capabilities can be pushed to, and again, shows but a hint of the wasted potential on the vanilla game.
... :c

Wow, I only see this image and I'm impress by the models of the characters (units), is incredible. One question, ¿you don't made your own 3D models??? Can you create your own Witch Hunters race??? Thanks for your replies my friend.

Leonardo

P.D. I don't know how is the way of the mods can be used and if you have ask to the creators of the mods to use them, but I found this link with the mod of the Witch Hunter, can be used or it's illegal???

Gamefront.com

Heh, easier said than done. 3D/2D artists in general are very scarce to begin with, and 3D/2D artists THAT talented... we can only dream.

That link is legit, you can use it if Gamefront allows you to download the file. That site is know for having a... suboptimal policy and only allowing some countries to download from their servers.

I can download; I've another question: Can I use with you UA mod if I download it??? I can add it??? Really I'm not an expert in this things of mods I only play n_n'.

Leonardo

P.D. Really I has been impressed with that mod, I'm not see before and I saw a video with the units (one by one) in the Army Painter and the quality of the animations are outstanding, nothing compared with SoB. These totally right when you talk me about the quality.

It is possible to add it to UA but just to get it working on Soulstorm several code-wise adaptations would have to be made. Since it is a mod for Dark Crusade "adapting" it for Soulstorm, while possible is an endeavor that requires modding knowledge on the matter. Quite a few have achieved this in the past, but due to they are not authorized to distribute the Witch Hunters mod assets, they couldn't make their work public.

Oooh I now understand the matter, what a shame! T_T. Well, I'll playing with SoB . I commented because I found a mod (ZMS mod) and in her list show this:

This mod includes some models and code for mods:
- Titanium Wars
- Witch Hunters
- Daemon Hunters
- Tyranids
- Ultimate Apocalypse

and I think that you're related.

Thank you very much for all your attentions and all your replies.

Oh, no no. The ZMS mod uses code/models from all these mods (though without permission to use Witch Hunters), but Ultimate Apocalypse does not use any Witch Hunters assets.

But if the mod team of Witch Hunter disbanded, who do you ask for permission? I was reading that the Witch Hunter Beta Mod 0.2 was public, or I'm wrong???

P.D. Excuse me for all the questions n_n', I've another. When I met the warhammer world was with a game called Rites of War, for me was espectacular. In this game the Eldar race have a Training Chamber for the units to develop in Exarch Unit. The Mimes develop to Harlequins and finally he can choose in two ways: Death Harlequin and Death Jester, do you have the 3D model for the Death Jester and they can be added to the UA mod????

Edited by: ralleo1980

The Witch Hunters mod disbanded and pretty much disappeared, therefore there is no one with the authority to give permission to use the Witch Hunters mod assets available.
The Beta 0.2 is available to the public, but as a standalone mod. Integration to other mods is a different story.

Rites of War utilizes a completely different engine, so porting a Rites of War model to Dawn of War would be needlessly complicated. However, there *is* a Harlequins mod for Dawn of War Soulstorm. The decision of adding assets from that mod to UA or not is Lord Doofus' though.

Edited by: Excogitatoris-Logica

OK my friend I'll see this mod. To be honest, I'm only beggining in this world of mods. Before only play with the original game but when I met your UA mod only play it this. Thanks for this outstanding mods.

Greetings

Leonardo

Well friend Rocket:

I download, install and play Witch Hunter mod... IT'S INCREDIBLE!!!! Wow, the graphics, the music, the voices... wow. The only thing that I disagreed is the size of the buildings and don't know why the size of the screen is very huge in Dark Crusade ¬¬

Cool people like me got a hold of the Witch Hunters Dark Crusade public beta and uploaded it to Mediafire

There is no release for SS. The only way to get the Witch Hunters on Soulstorm is to manually port them yourself, but according to the permissions on the WH mod, it is forbidden to publicly post modified versions of the public beta, hence there will never be a (legit) Witch Hunters Soulstorm mod available to the public.
In the grim darkness of the present day, there is only unnecessary limitations to DoW modders.

Locked because the Witch Hunters mod is not to be used by any DOW modders anywhere. Further discussions would be only a distraction towards our goal.

Locked.
