To get the specific mod path for your mod, you basically type “swfoc MODPATH=Mods” Now, as i’m using the clone wars mod as my example, the stuff I type into the box would be the following: You’ll want to open launch options for the game on steam by right clicking the game in your library, then clicking properties then set launch options. So now, you’ll have to configure your game so it knows to launch the mod. Now drag and drop the mod you’ve downloaded into this new folder. In this directory, create a new folder called “Mods” Then you’ll want to open your game directory, so for example, mine is C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamAppscommonStar Wars Empire at Warcorruption
So to do this, you open the rar or zip file it came in.
So, now that you’ve got your juicy new mod, you’ll want to install it.
So I found it on ModDB, I then went through the steps below in order to download the mod itself. So, first of you look for a mod you want, for this example i’ll be using the clone wars mod.
make sure everyone in the lobby has the same modsĠ.2 - changed loading image, fixed FOW reveal, now players who don't have the mod can't join the gameĠ.A simple guide for me and my friends on how to install mods for Empire at War Forces of Corruption, though this should work for vanilla Empire at War I hope/think. Also you can share your money by pressing shift + y With this common fleet you even can attack enemy, and in tactical battle each one will have his own units. Just place your forces in one fleet - and move this fleet to other system. You can have common fleets with your teammate. You need to help your teammate to conquer planet. So, other player with the same faction as you are - will not have any planets, no army, just base heroes in the same location as you are. After game starts faction heroes get duplicated. How to get multiple players to be on the same side? It helped us to play against Consortium a little bit. To avoid this we made save/load each time Consortium conquered a planet, but before auto-corruption on this planet gets 100%. it is base game bug - it happens in vanila too. When we tested - we got 100% chance of sync errors if planet was corrupt after tactical battle. Just one advice we can give you: save your game often. Desyncs are very often appear after planet gets corrupted, so I suggest not to play any faction which has corruption mechanic. Just one advice we can give you: save your game as often as possible. This mod has the same stability as vanila game. You can do this by setting launch options: If you are the host and you can see a lot of open slots in the lobby, then all you done is right You can do it in game options, or just copy/paste this: Subscribe on the mod and launch FOC with this mod. Other players may skip this step.įix adds an ability to force open all lobby slots. Host of the server has to download this exe and extract it to the main game directory. So, what this workshop mod does - disables Fog of War for other players, which are not present in the battle, so they can watch you play, like a spectator. The only thing they will see is an empty map because of Fog of War.
You're both fighting, but what other players will do, which are not present in this battle? If they have some allied local forces on the planet they will be able to control them, but what will they see if there are no allied local forces? but one more thing: imagine this: you are playing for the Rebellion and you attack the Empire, tactical battle launches. So, now you can play MP GC with a lot of people. You can download this new exe files in STEP ONE(see below).
This new exe doesn't break anything - you still will be able to play vanila/any mod with other players, even if they don't have this new exe file. What this new exe does : it allows you to host MP GC server with more than 2 open player slots (it is not possible with base game exe file) To make this happen you need a new custom game.exe file. Long time, MP GC was only for 2 players (1v1)īut with this, now you are able to play MP GC with more than 2 players (1v1v1, 5v2, 2v1v3v2v4(with other mods) e.t.c.) - you can set anything you want.
