Orax has undergone a major gameplay overhaul, including objective, combat, and brightness changes. Alongside performance and crashing fixes, you can read more changes in the change notes. Please report any issues in the discussions.

To whoever made the church defense mission, WH40K is called grim dark, not pitch black.

sorry that was for UMW not you, your mod is fine thankyou

@Even
You can try and place units in the editor in F3 mode and only from the multiplayer (mp) menu, otherwise it will sometimes crash. If this problem only happens when using this mod, there may be some file problems between the main UMW mod, though this mod was designed for singleplayer and not editor use.

loved these missions where well made hope to maybe see more somday

Its all the way up with my gamma but I'll see if I can find the crates with the flashlights since the ONE guy wasn't helping at all when he wasn't pointing the right way lol. I'll give that a try thanks for helping.

@Slice141
The darkness is a rather big part of the mission and, unfortunately, I could not tweak it to be brighter without messing up several other parts. Although it's built so that you can actually still see, if it's too dark for your monitor, you can try upping your screen's brightness/gamma and saturation. If it helps, there are also several flashlights stored around.

Im sure this is awesome... BUT I CAN"T SEE ANYTHING! Its WAY to dark and as far as I can tell there is no way to up the brightness so I can't complete the mission cause I can't see anything to tell where the heck im going

so good

@Winters

Thanks! I really appreciate the timely response.

@Blitzkrieg
This one's a scripting issue, there will be a patch Soon™

For now, load up a previous save and try again.

I got to the part where Macillan says "They may just be regrouping", but now nothing is happening.

Co-op freindly ?

@^Triumph We shall see™

Hey there Winters. I am here on behalf of Bob the storm trooper. He wants to be in during the next mission :D

@manubart I can say that progress is going very swell, much faster than the previous parts, but no concrete dates yet.

Next part when?

awesome just awesome, very well made

This is amazing! Can't wait for the next part.

Another funny moment is when the scene opens and Macillian runs into view. Had a run where he got hit by a missile and flew back, but the camera continued to the point where the Commissar hadn't spawned yet either, then suddenly appeared as if out of the Warp when Macillian approached.

It's not a bug, mate. It's a feature.

@mivpus Hadwin was another unfortunate victim of the memory fixes, he was originally supposed to be someone who can die at any moment but is rewarding if you actually keep him alive. I couldn't figure out a way for him to carry onto the next mission since it got cut in half, and he dies in pretty much every test playthrough.

P.S, the Plasmagun is scripted to not shoot at you, yet the AI went rogue and does so anyway- still trying to figure out why and fetch a patch.

You should perhaps spawn the Guardsman squads for the charge across the opened pipeline, somewhere in cover.

Two of the times I played that part, by the time the Commissar had shouted charge, half my men had been plasma'd 😅

I love the characters too. Macillian is an awesome protagonist, and so is Jenson. It's like a play between Winters and Spiers from BoB. Just a shame Hatlin apparently dies at some point, since he wasn't there for the trenches after escaping the factory.

:D

Your work is bloody gorgeous. It's a better 40k campaign than the DoW games have given us.

@mivpus This is an error related to the memory errors, it usually doesn't happen on the lowest settings. But, since they're a memory error, the best way to halt them is restart the game between missions. Or save in an area before the crash spot and reload it after restarting the game.

How to deal with the "image not supported" bug? I just cleared the factory and the moment it saves the game CTD's. My settings are already as low as can be.

@winters YAY Im just a big fan of stormtroopers :P

@^Triumph Alright, I will prolong Bob’s suffering by patching him in for part 2, he should be a worthy asset.

I managed to keep him alive and he did not followed the Seargent throu the loading screen (from part 1 to part 2) =(

@^Triumph Out of all my tests, Bob unfortunately manages to die in all of them. However, if he is that worthy of an adversary, I suppose I could make another patch and revive him a third time for the second (second) mission.

Hey man! awesome :p Does Bob the storm trooper carry throu all the way? cus after completing the first mission 2 (part 1 lets say) and loading to the second one he does not show up :O

@^Triumph Today.

@Winters and when can we expect such update? ;O Are you considering adding an APC or smthing like that aswell during 1 of the defences? I mean Storm troopers are as cool as tanks :P hahahah Just kiding bro any update will be well recived Im sure of it =)

@^Triumph Working on a patch for that, currently trying to balance having a new guy in there.

I have a request! 1 of the survivors when the Cathedral colapses has to be an storm trooper :D I mean those guys r just too cool to not survive that minor accident

@Skull They are hidden in oddly convenient boxes.

where are these plasma guns they are talking about when you meet the PDF in the factory?

@chaplain You can try lowering your settings if you haven't already. You may also close other processes such as your internet browser for more memory.

Hi, I'm sure you've heard this a million times due how broken men of war is, but when it saves, its been giving me a memory access violation on the second mission (unfortunately, its also the only mission i can load on the potato :( )

Excellent work. Continue in the same spirit. It would be nice if you joined forces with the mod developer

*Happy IG noises*

@Owen more like give all ur grenades to the seargent and let him kill everyone :P

@mivpus Sounds like an evil botched download, try re-subscribing and then applying in a different order, I.E: ASV > apply, UMW > apply, and then apply this one.

I keep crashing when applying the mission mod, even after I apply the UMW.

Just finished both the missions had a ball. Those missions were hectic as all hell. Tips for these missions 1: Save often. 2: Be patience 3: Watch your units and the area carefully. You never know what may happen in the grim dark future of the 41st Millennium.

Hey dude! just finished both missions :D they r so cool! Cant wait to see what's in the Palace :p

@GREEN Agreed, I have several projects still in the concept stage, both custom and re-tellings of 40k books and alike, how far I can go is... up for debate.

by updates i meant new missions, the 40 k universe is so interesting and not often explored enough so its great to have guys like you making lore friendly mods for the 40 k universe

amazing, i jsut hope theres more updates to come for this

@Dark-Link-N7 Activation goes as follows: Plug in UMW and ASV, then apply. After they are activated, plug in this mod, then apply.
