Bugs and Gameplay issues

[nikolaia]

I am talking about Warlords 0.45 not the Clone mod...(this one is running quite well)

...another question:wich race is able to build torpedospheres?

[nikolaia]

So what about the minelayer function??

[Grand_Admiral_Pellaeon]

Not really sure about that. Which minelayer are you talking about. Seeing as i don't know which units can lay mines, having never seen a point in them. If you tell me i'll check it out for you.

[Evaders99]

It's actually enabled for a different reason. It allows ships to target missiles and other projectiles.

 

Maybe we'll get Eville to have the minelaying action icon disabled, because I don't think anything actually lays mines..

[donneyr]

its warlords i tryed a normal standerd map it does the same thing what do i do

[Krytos]

The Assault Transport can lay mines - though you need to lay a lot, which seems to slow the game down a lot. Just read the units description to see if they can lay mines, don't go on mine icon.

Also I've never seen a ship actually hit a minefield so I can't vouch for their effectiveness.

[nikolaia]

Oh.so if i enable "minelaying" the ship is starting to hunt down rockets like an AEGIS cruiser ,right?

Nice thing,tough it would be no fault to get at least one real minelayer vessel (maybe a converted CEC Corv. like the "Night Caller">StWs Xwing-Wraith squad

So I can't play any of the Warlords maps, I just get a pure white screen. The HUD is there and it works fine, but I cannot see any of the actual gameplay, it's all white. I read the FAQ to see what I could learn, and it mentioned something about putting my maps in a different file, but that hasn't worked.

 

Any ideas?

[Admiral_Sarn]

For me, whenever I build a super capital ship, the game crashes...probably just my computer though...

[JanGaarni]

This is probably an old issue and probably posted before, but I'll post it again, cause it's my only beef with the Mod really.

 

Fighters - it's a pain in the ass to try and dock them inside star destroyers and other hangar capable ships (seems the support carrier is the most difficult one I've tried, don't make them anymore, ain't worth the resources ) and installations for when I want to do a quick get away, or a quick mobilization of my forces before I jump into/out of combat. 1 and 1 fighter wing is ok, usually no problem, but when I try to dock for instance the full load a star destroyer can carry at once, then it most of the time hangs. Not the game, the game can still be played, the fighters just don't dock, they just line up in preperation to dock (sometimes they swirl around the ship too trying to line up).

 

Another small thing - The Enforcer Class is stated to carry 4 fighter wings, but it only takes 2.

 

Other than that, great Mod.

Excellent realisation of Star Wars spacebattles.

 

 

 

Oh, one more thing: How come when you research star destroyer designs, the VSD II get's unlocked before the VSD I?!?

[Ivan_R]

the docking issue is more to with the fighters lining up correctly to dock - the Escort CV is a pain because the fighters dock at the front, but it is one of the easier platforms to dock with in reality.

 

the best advice for docking is to put the fighters on defensive/passive stance, as aggressive seems to muck about the docking sequence, and then dock a few Sqns at a time - this can be annoying, especially if you have all your bombers say as Group 2.

 

My other piece of advice (after much experimentation at work ) is to not dock like units in the same carrier vessel - ie split up the distribution of carried smallcraft. For example, carry 4 fighters, four bombers and four Assault transports in an ISD, rather than 12 of each. The more you have of one thing trying to dock, the more pain you're going to go through.

 

as for the VSD, make sure Concussion Missiles II or III has been researched as well. If they're researched first, the VSD I becomes available at the same time as the II. The VSD II just uses easier to research components.

Im getting alot of problems where in player vs cpu i'll have RU injections turned on. (25,000 every 2 minutes, 100,000 2 min Lump)and i'll start queing up ships on multiple production facilities and my RU will alll of a suddden drop to 0.

[Evaders99]

You've hit the maximum RUs you can reach. HW2 has a max limit.

Turn your RU injection settings down

Hey EvilleJedi, I just wanted to say how much I love your mod.

 

I read on the homepage that you're trying to battle the evil Sync issue. Me and my friend have been trying to play the game(Warlords .45) in multiplayer across the internet and he keeps getting kicked out of the game and it says "Out of Sync". Is this the out of sync issue you're trying to fix? I saw some other people post about it, but I never saw it being answered.

 

Also is anyone successfully playing the game in Multiplayer over the internet and not ever getting an "Out of Sync" error and the other person gets kicked out? Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

Hey Everyone,

I just installed Warlords 0.45 and first of all, congratulations - it really is a nice sight seeing your star destroyers rolling out of that facility.

Anyways, whenever I try to play in warlords 0.45 mode instead of deathmatch, the game crashes. It will load, and right when it finishes, the game just stops and sends me back to my desktop.

Any ideas?

P.S. I have not installed the 1.1 update - it stopped halfway through, and playing in normal deathmatch mode works just fine. I'll see if it still crashes after the update is installed and get back to you guys.

[Evaders99]

HW2 1.1 Patch is required

Tell us if that solves the problem

[BillyBob]

Hey,

the update won't install.

It stops at 48% overall, right when it starts to process bin/release/homeworld2.exe.

And it says:

old File not Found. File with same name found. Contents different ..."

basically like that. I'm going to try deleting that file to see if it will just give me a new one, or try a differnt update download.

Any suggestions?

Bob

Eville Jedi, me and a friend were attempting to play Warlords over a LAN connection. After a couple of minutes in game my machine suffered a system crash. We attempted this several times with the same result.

 

Could this be due to some sort of sync issue?

[Naga]

My friend and I were attempting an LAN game. We both have .499997 (or whatever it is called )from curseuppl.com and the 1.1 patch. All was going fine, but after about 10 min utes, he (not me) gets kicked out of the server for having an incorrect game version. Both of us used the same CD to start the game. What could the problem be?

This is how you fix this, because the update crashed out while you were updating the updated files become corrupted. To install the files, do this.

 

Uninstall Homeworld 2, then reinstall (make sure to turn off any firewall you are running as some interfere with the installer), then when you have finished reinstalling click on register game online. Do this at the end of installing as doing it later the update patch dose not recognise it, it is stupid but its just one of those things. Once this is done, install the patch. It should load correctly now.

 

Now this solution is for those with the retail version of Homeworld 2. I do not help those too cheap to buy the game. It dosen't cost all that much anyway.

Just had my first crash playing the Warlords MOD.

 

So far I freakin LOVE IT!!!

 

Crash happened at:

Player vs CPU

Coruscant Orbit Map

2 CPU players (Alliance & Militia)

Player as Imperial

 

simulation had just started ..

I started up a little research, and a few Tie FIghters

was moving my Mobile refinery and X-7 Factory closer to resources and suddenly everything froze for about 1 minute and then my computer rebooted

 

there was no logfile in the HW folders

I'm running an Athalon 2400 w/ 1.25GB RAM

 

dunno if any of this helps .. just wanted to be able to bring you guys any information to help make hte MOD run better ...

 

Great Work guys .. just let me know what important information to report to help fix bugs & crashes

[nikolaia]
