Dammit, this is an engine issue...
The MOVIES are responsible.

Can you please go and delete the Unification_Bugfix\Movies folder, brother? With that "Movies" folder removed, I am positive the error will vanish :)

Can't figure out why but MP stopped working all together after I installed it. Been trying for TWO DAYS to get this damn MP to work.

didn't see this until now. I did a fresh reinstall of soulstorm then followed the manual install again and now it works. Now I am trying to figure out which mods I want to use in the configurator, because it isn't very clear which does what.
How do I change campaign objectives from just destroy all buildings?

OK first let me say that now, Unification is "pre-configured", brother.
Which means that there are only two simple options, for your convenience:

1] Unification Mod (Unification_Bugfix, in the DoW Mod Manager): This is the version that upgrades vanilla, but adds no new races.

2] Unification New Races: As above, but adds 17 very-well-done new races.

For the Campaign Configurator, makes sure you have installed the latest patch, and look into the Unification_Bugfix folder, for an exe named Unification_Configurator_1.0.0, and run it :)

If you don't know how to configure campaign victory conditions just say so.
I already know how to open the configurator, which was kind of hinted at in my post. I just don't know which mods in the configurator to toggle on or off because I don't ´know what they do.
What does Softcore and Hardcore do, for instance? How do I decide what level of AI I want to use? What does the heroes mod do? None of these things are clear, and there is no description for any of the mods in the whole list. AND NOWHERE CAN I SEE HOW TO CHANGE VICTORY CONDITIONS.
So I am not asking for you to tell me to read install guides and open configurators. I already did that. I want to know how to use the unification mod now that I already have it and it works.

Brother GSWinter, I am a leading member of Unif. and the sole coder of the whole SCaR/AI/coding aspect of the mod.
The Campaign Win Conditions are my innovation. I am pretty sure I do know what each and every one actually does.

What I didn't get, was your original question because of hasty reading.
Sorry for that. :)
GSWinter Mar 11, 2021 @ 10:38am 
If you created it, then please tell me how to use it. Can I change a victory condition on a level from destroy all buildings to just destroy HQ? And if so, how?
Gambit_DoW Mar 13, 2021 @ 6:45am 
Excellent then :)

But what you asked is NOT changed.
... Meaning that I left the actual Victory conditions as they were in Vanilla:
1] Destroy HQ, for skirmish maps.
2] Capture and Hold, for maps with critical locations, and
3] Destroy Stronghold, for Stronghold maps.

There are no other VICTORY conditions added in the campaign - thus far, at least.
I HAVE coded them in Skirmish matches, but not added them as options in the Campaign.

The Unification Campaign Configurator, adds winconditions as additional options - but NOT as new VICTORY conditions...

For example, the EnableCampaignBases, keeps all buildings you built in each map, should you need to defend that area.
Titans, adds the Titans.
And Massive_Battles, increases caps.
...And so forth - most settings are self-explanatory.

If you want me to explain more, some of the Settings, just say so brother.

BUT NOTED.
I will try and add some varied VICTORY conditions in Skirmish matches, in the next Unification Patch. :)
OPTIONAL, of course, so that anyone can have it as he pleases.

This mod is impressive!!

I only have two small issues: the game hitches a ton no matter what I try. If I scroll to the end of the screen, it becomes unresponsive then it just snaps to location, makes it hard to MM units and place buildings. It's making my seasick too for some strange reason?

Second is the font is way to small on some of the menus. I have no idea what the new conditions are in the skirmish set up menu because I can't read them at 1440p.

Have you tried disabling the directx 8 cursor in the Mod Manager under settings -> Video ? That solved the stuttering for me

Just did and came back to report that fixed the issue! Thank you!

Can there be an option for campaign and skirmish to remove the unit limits for particular units ex. Kasrkin, Terminators etc?
fuggles2k Mar 14, 2021 @ 10:08pm 
There is an unofficial no limits mod on the discord.
Moobert Mar 15, 2021 @ 2:02pm 
Just another update: fixed my font issue, found fix here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/9450/discussions/0/792924952801763017/?ctp=3

The 1440p fix is too big so I had to scale that down some, but a fix is there if someone needs it.

Really enjoying the mod, thank you!

Had this issue as well but installing the 4GB patch fixed the crashes, GSWinter.
