Feda Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I always wanted to play as the Mercenaries or the other sub-houses, but since dune2k doesn't have sounds for their units that is imposible. But I found a way to "force" the game to let u see your dream come true. In the mission that i posted here you can play as mercenaries in one of my 100000 remakes of O9V2 (you share the base with AI). The mercs will move the units, attack and defend the base, so u don't have to touch any unit. You can't touch them! the game will crush. Just build the base, train troopers and build tanks. Also Starport enables the well-known mercenary starport deliveries. You can't move your units or attack by yourself, but if u give the mercs a good strike force they will do a good job with it. So dont stop building. I hope that you'll enjoy it and don't forget: DO NOT CLICK ON ANY UNIT, just build units and base and mercs will do the rest for u. (This game type can be called "Shared base control").Any bug, report it! If u want me to release with these method missions for the rest of sub-houses just tell me!play as mercs.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feda Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 ehm, how to install^^Backup _O9V2.mis and O9V2.map from your "missions" folder. Then extract the archive and copy the files in the "missions" folder, overwriting the existing ones. (u have backup) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbaskan60 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 this work really very good!! I want to control ? Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feda Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Nope. Until now it's imposible. If there will be found a way to add sounds to the sub-houses' units then it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvi Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) In theory it comes down to modifying the Play_Unit_Response function. This is the function which produces the error "house >= 3"It contains an if statement checking the house index, now I don't have the experience needed to modify the exe but in theory there are several options here. We can try disabling the entire function which could mean no unit response sounds but it wouldn't crash. Or we could modify the function so that if the house is >= 3 then the house number defaults to 0 (Atreides).Edit: fixed with some major help by CCHyper - Patch released Edited January 11, 2012 by mvi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlight AbaSSy Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I cannot play mercenaries. When I start the game, I am still ordos. The different is, the mercenaries have two refinery, barrack, light factory and the map is bigger. Any help please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlight AbaSSy Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 And then, I really don't know what happened. I re-copy and replace the file in Mission folder, and I am Mercenaries, in old ordos base, while ordos is in mercenaries base with exact building I told before.Plus, in this game smugler is an allies, no longer an enemy.Is it suppose to be like this?

Feda Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 yes, the second one is the good one.. u may want to download the sub houses fix in order to be able to click on merc units. Btw, i dont remember if i updated this mission , i mean if i removed the AI for the human, so tell me if when u start mission it will automatically build units. if it does, then i'll have to re-upload it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlight AbaSSy Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 AI is still there. But it doesn't really matter. I am having fun when I build for the mercenaries. Due to their lack of 'human', make the mission is quite harder, instead of easy win, I have some fun. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
