My first big project

I'm creating my first "Real" map. I've done a lot of different custimization stuff with the editor, but this will be my first real map. The concept is based on the game Dawn of War. Any suggestions, comments, or advice would be appreciated. Also I'm accepting any character ideas to expand the number of heros available to choose from.

Oh, I'm on this map like Orks on a Squiggoth.

Are you talking about character types, like "Force Commander" and "Librarian", or actual characters, like Inquisitor Toth and Captain Angelos (who are both Force Commanders, but very different people)?

As far as races and units, what are you planning? Humans=Space Marines, Orcs=Orks, that kind of thing? Are Necrons, Tau and Imperial Guard going to be in on this?

How do you want to do the DoW resource system?

System can be made easily via triggers

Plz add tyranids as a race, it's a shame they weren't included in dawn of war (problably because tyranids don't build bases and use resources). They are after all, in my opinion, the coolest race in WH40K

Well i see someone else has the same idea, my system works flawed, except only one squad is selected at a time, and the whole resource thing for new squad members is murder on the AI, but its coming along well. I'll let you use it, an unprotected version should go up at the link Sirroelivan gave in a week or so.

You can do that! Cool! It would be less complicated than mine probably, but would you be able to add the commander units in yours Psiblade9412?

Void... Dawn of War is a very fun future-based RTS game imo... with cool graphics and units... i would suggest that you try it out...

Dark Crusade was the last expansion that came out... but it had winter assault b4 it...Site is here.

btw... french is a nationality not a race so you should be fine

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
