2 Hard drives - by: Imperial

Sun, 23 Aug 2015 17:28:32 +0200

Hi thore95, welcome to the forums!

Is there a way to make your mod install on my secondary drive (F) instead of my primary drive (C)?

Well, the mod launcher should actually check for the right drive, this is probably still a missing feature.

Sure you can install the mod manually, if you already installed the mod (but on the wrong hd) search for
.\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption\Mods\Stargate
And if you can find the directory Data in Stargate, then please throw Stargate into
.\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption\Mods of your other hd.

If there is no Data directory you have to go into .\Stargate\Patches and extract there all archives in the right alphabetical order to patch eachother. (if there are no patches please download them via launcher) Then you'd get a .\Data directory extracted in .\Stargate\Patches\, so move this Data directory (cut and paste) into .\Stargate and proceed moving the Stargate directory with its content into
.\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption\Mods of your other hd, same as above.

Then please download this .bat file:
www.mediafire.com/download/k8dgqn39xyn8325/Run+Stargate.bat
In my test download it had a unnecessary .bat.txt extension. If you got the same suffix for the bat file you downloaded please remove the .txt so only Run Stargate.bat remains. If you cant see any suffixes you can activate this feature in windows settings.

Finally please drop Run Stargate.bat into
.\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption\Mods\Stargate and doubleclick it to run the mod from the right HD.

Stupid UI? - by: Imperial

<inoficial mode>
Well, one thing you can do to improve the AI is download the Awakening of the Rebellion 2.6 Mod and drop the ./Data/Xml/AI directory into the XML directory of Stargate. This would improve the AI and make it more agressive.
</inoficial mode>

By the way the game in general is quite .. repetitive and as soon you learned how to beat it, there isnt much chellage left.

xml syntax error - by: Locutus

Sat, 14 Feb 2015 00:30:33 +0100

If you want to use the unit in skirmish battles you need to add its name to the unit buildability list in the respective starbase (see Starbase_*Faction*.xml).

To make the unit available in GC, make sure the following tags meet your requirements:

Stargate eaw how to install and play - by: Imperial

Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:45:47 +0200

Well, the newest version of our mod with the best Ships is The Pegasus Chronicles. Unfortunately it has no Galactic Conquest so its multiplayer only.
The newest Launcher release:
www.moddb.com/mods/stargate-empire-at-wa...r-129-tunngle-update

How to install TPC:

How to install Stargate EAW 1.3:
If you want to play through a Galactic Conquest map, you want to download the old Stargate EAW 1.3, which is the newest version of the mod for the classic EAW ( not the FOC Expansion ) ( There is also a 1.3.1 hotfix which fixes some bugs ):
www.moddb.com/mods/stargate-empire-at-wa...-13-complete-version

I know, this will probably sound very complicated.
This is the nature of Computers and I cant make it any easier at all, Im sorry for that.
The main issue here is, we do our best to make the mod working, but the mod depends on many other software components like Steam, Tunngle, the game itself, and of course the adjustments of them. A bigger company would just buy the rights to include everything into a simple to use Installer or a Steam version with all components preadjusted and sell it, allready working out of the box.

But free projects like this allways require some minimal adjustments by the user, mainly because of legal reasons.
Hopfully you can follow this small guide.

Odyssey's Cloak Not Functioning - by: Jack Hunter

Wed, 18 Jun 2014 14:53:43 +0200

Right, the cloak works just correct when you use the ability before you attack an unit or when you not in weapon range of an enemy ship. Besides the Goa'uld Jamming Satellite is also able to detect cloaked ships in his range.

x64 bit version - by: Locutus

Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:30:49 +0200

Nope, having Steam doesn't change anything.

Roughly 80% of the team are using a 64bit OS so the error can't really be related to that. Your error has never been reported so far so, unfortunately, I don't know how to fix it.

However, since Patch 1.2.1 is a very small hotfix I have uploaded it's contents (only 3 files total) here:
www.dropbox.com/sh/41ofix0ehcwsrar/946gBW8ux1

Go to ...\Steam\steamapps\common\star wars empire at war\corruption and place the files in the same folder as you find them in the link above.

Missing Col. Mitchell/Ori Superlaser - by: Col. Reynolds

Mon, 28 Oct 2013 01:53:57 +0100

Here's a weird development. I was able to reach tech level 5 without Mitchell disappearing. However, when I tried building him, as soon as he reached 100% he disappeared. He wasn't on the map, he wasn't on the interface, and he wasn't in the reinforcement box. 20 minutes last though, he reappeared on the interface and I tried to build him again, except he disappeared, yet again. He didn't reappear.

Not working with Steam version - by: Locutus

Wed, 07 Aug 2013 17:13:37 +0200

Do you want to use the old Stargate: Empire at War for Empire at War or do you want to play The Pegasus Chronicles for Forces of Corruption?

a) If you want to play the old Stargate: Empire at War for Empire at War:
Make sure the mod is installed here: ...\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Star Wars Empire at War\GameData\Mods\Stargate\Data.
You can run the mod by right-clicking on the Star Wars Empire at War game in your game library in Steam. Select Properties and add "sweaw MODPATH=Mods\Stargate" (without quotes) in the launch options.

b) If you want to play The Pegasus Chronicles for Forces of Corruption:
Run the launcher which will install the mod automatically to the correct folder.
You can run the mod by right-clicking on the Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption game in your game library in Steam. Select Properties and add "swfoc MODPATH=Mods\Stargate" (without quotes) in the launch options.

This is the name of the ship that is buildable in the Ancient Sensor:

It is based on the Aurora but with some modified values for skirmish.

It's not hard at all to post code. Copy the content of your Starbase_Tauri.xml file to a post here, and surround it with ["code"][/"code"] tags, without the "" quotes.

okey, thanks it worked

Little help with additional units - by: The Art of War

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:40:45 +0100

Taichl wrote: All units ready, thanks every one of you

considering this I have to ask, Does AI uses additional /supergate units? I ask because i have not seen them in use by AI so far. Also I have to ask the same thing about Ori Satelite above Celestis. By the way, extremly nice model U suppose that the station should be able to create ori ships, which would be hostile to every faction on the map. but the station is just defending itself. I know that question like that should not be in this topic, but I think it is little pointless to create new topic just for this one question so I am sorry for a little off-topic.

Yes, of course it's fully possible. It's just not implemented, and I don't think that's very high up on my list right now. It might be an idea worth exploring though.

Gerappa wrote: How to fix this problem?

To be honest I can't see any problems at first glance in your DXDiag, as you have more than enough VRAM with your Nvidia GeForce 9800GT 1GB, more than enough CPU power with an Intel dualcore clocked at 3.0GHz. The DRAM could be the problem but it shouldn't as I was able to play the mod without any problems at all on a Vista with even worse specs (2.2GHz Intel dualcore, 2GB DRAM, ATI Radeon X1650 256MB), your video drivers are up to date and so on. If I were you I would upgrade to a new machine as the DRAM is not nearly enough to play modern games and use tools, even use W7, and the CPU does not guarantee lag-free gaming in newer applications. This should however not be the problem; I take it your FoC/TPC installation is located on the D or E drive? What drives are those, internal RPM drives? Have you tried reinstalling EaW, FoC and TPC?

You mean the whole description text is missing? Hm very strange, that with the freeze too. No idea what is wrong, but in the german version are no text missings and not so much bugs or crashes like in the english version. Also are some of the reported text errors (until little mistakes in the text) no bugs, because these strings already be in the textfile. But we will check all that again. Thanks for info.

Green textures and installation - by: Locutus

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 21:50:38 +0100

The FAQ says:

FAQ wrote: 3.7. Ingame the Stargate is green! Why?
If you run the map editor after the mod has been installed sometimes shaders that our mod requires can be deleted. You can find them in ...\Mods\Stargate\Data\Art\Shaders. Copy the Shaders folder from the mentioned path to ...\Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption\Data\Art\Shaders. It is possible that you have to redo this procedure every time after using the map editor.
Furthermore it is known that ATI graphic cards can cause problems with our shaders. Maybe an update of your graphics card's driver can solve this problem.

Thu, 30 Aug 2012 11:39:11 +0200

Hello there,

Before you post a bug report or a feature or help request, please think about these things first:

This forum is for questions about problems with the mod, feature requests for future work and reporting bugs with the current build. Questions about the website itself should fit nicely here aswell. Please do not post anything about Stargate in general or such.

Search before posting. There might be another topic written by someone with the same problem as you have that resolved the issue.

Do not hijack someone else's topic with irrelevant questions of your own.

Please try to test bugs more than once; a bug may only happen one time and thus needs not be resolved after for example restarting the game and trying again.

When reporting a bug or asking for help, please supply us with as much relevant information as possible. State what the problem is, when it occured, if you changed something yourself just before the problem occured and so on.

These guidelines may change at any time and we appreciate if you as a user stay up to date with them. Last but not least, remember to be polite!

Ground tactics and option for canon space scale size - by: Jack Hunter

Well, if we would be as close as to realism the Tau'ri only have the Prometheus, Daedalus, Odyssey and the two other BC-304 plus a few F-302 interceptors. That would be boring.

Don't worry, we're working on the ground part and there will be very nice things for every faction, but first we should replace every vanilla piece to get the factions working properly. Then we can implement special mechanics and gameplay features. But this needs it time and we can't work on all front at the same time.

Additional Hero ships for Tauri - by: Imperial

Sun, 23 Aug 2015 20:07:17 +0200

I do not understand why the bug can be caused by wrong code of a Unit that is not even playable and available in my skirmish.

Its caused in a indirect way, because of mislinking. The point is the 2 deathclones above had different names but they're supposed to have the same one.

I told you to change the name of the deathclone in the stock 304 because its easier to change it in 1 xml then to change it in all hero unit xmls instead. The issue itself generates in the Hero unit.xml when it points towards a non existent deathclone (because of the name missmatch).

In order to solve that mismatch we can whether change the name of the stock 304 or of all heroes, that doesent matter as long they finally get the same name.

Well, to be honest the deathclones dont necessarely have to be linked to the default 304 one and we could make a seperate deatclone for each hero unit with a own name. I think its still better to link to an already existing xml instance because more instances means (by a tiny millisecond) longer loading times. But unnecessary unit code in general can summ up to a noticable delay in the loading times.
