Title: Open offer to destroy me: Dawn of War
Post by: Flood on June 24, 2006, 11:28:38 PM
I know DoW isn't an "MMO" strictly speaking but I was wondering if anybody in the F13 community wants to play a few Dawn of War: Winter Assault games.

Anyway if anyone wants to play some skirmishes or a good old comp stomp, post up here or send me a PM.  Thanks!

You don't want to play vanilla DoW:WA. It's highly non-heterosexual cheese. You want to try this (http://dowpro.vorbereitungstagung.de/index.php) instead.

I don't get it.  How the hell does this work.  Please explain.

I'm assuming you are referring to the mod Megrim linked.  I DL'd it and tried it out, and for myself, didn't care for it.  However when I was messing with it I just installed the prog as per the instructions and it ran just fine for me. It even put a modded "DoW Pro" icon on my desktop.

Nifty. I'm up for a game. I've even still got the game installed!

No shortcut and, as far as I can tell, no changes to the game.  Where's the direct download link ?  Am I perhaps getting the wrong shit ?

we have a saying here, it goes something like this: "Old age doesn't spare anyone" :roll:

I found this on the site (http://dowpro.vorbereitungstagung.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=25), it doesn't look complicated maybe you downloaded something else? I've been meaning to try it, so hopefully I will probably try to install it tommorow... just have to find my Dawn of War CDs

Yeah, the only thing I found on the frontpage (or in downloads) is the extras installer, which was what I was using.  Hitting the archives a couple of pages back brings me to an exe that might work.  I'll give it a shot.

Hey, ho.

Not young anymore.

Found it, installed it, wasn't terribly impressed by it.

Cool, I might actually be able to play a well made game over the internetz with people that aren't complete FUCKTARDS.  The multiplay lobby for DoW is absolutely the shallow end of the gene pool.

Anyway sorry Bhodi and Ironwood I have been distracted lately and missed your posts.  Post here or IM me or something we can play a bit or even do a comp stomp or something.

Might be tricky for you to get a game with me.  Every time I'm on, Americans are sleeping.  I'm always popping on to TS to find a ghosttown.
