Commander edition

[Preussen Gloria]

I was just wondering what kind of video setting are you running to play the commander edition of Darthmod 1.0
as for me i can play the game smoothly with all the sets on but at one condition,i have to set the units on large size.
if i put them on ultra laggin is becoming a major problem and so i have to turn of a few options.
but this version is my favorite,really epic! good job Darth

I can run Commander on Ultra settings, and it is still smooth as butter.

I can run everything at ultra with commander edition. The one setting that kills me is the SSAO but other then that there is very little lag. Commander mod changes this game from good to great.

My PC specs are;
C2D 3.08ghz
4gb DDR2 1000mhz
ATI 4870 1GB

I can barely run it on Ultra, w/ Medium shadows.

[Preussen Gloria]

my specs are similar to yours Gizmo,so i decided to keep all the options on ultra and decrease the units size on large

[Toboe]

My specs.
GTX 280 ultra 1G
E8400 intel.
SAMSUNG 2G + 2G

[Preussen Gloria]

and do you run the commander edition on huge units scale?

[Flavius Silvanus]

I turn shadows off, but everything else is on Ultra.

Yes, Huge unit settings.

[Daeger]

Everything on ultra and shadows off.
Seems to run smoothly.

Edit: Geforce 8800GT 512mb, 4Gb 800Mhz G.Skill DDR2 ram, AMD Athlon x2 5800+ 3Ghz.

so shadows drag my fps down?

[joreto]

Shadows off ? This is ugly :/

Can someone help me to install it? I see that the range is 110, but the units sizes doesnt change..

In the DartMod 1.0 folder there are 2 versions - commander edition and normal edition. Make sure you put the commander edition

[helmersen]

I have.. But it doesnt change anything

[joreto]

I guess you use mod manager but what other mods do you use ?
P.S. Please write in the installation guide thread

Installation Instructions (By ColdFire&Scivian&...and me)

Download the file linked in the first post

1. Unzip the file using a program such as WinRar, which can be downloaded from here
2. Open either DarthMod Empire or DarthMod Empire Commander Edition file
3. Copy the subfolders into the location described in the name of the two main folders. This may trigger a merge folder pop-up (depends on OS). Click yes.

The in depth location for the script (user.empire_script.txt) is:

VISTA C:\Users\(Your User Name Here)\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts

XP C:\Documents and Settings\(Your User Name Here)\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts, possible variation between OS's, but from the appdata onwards it will all be the same.

* To understand that you have DarthMod installed watch a line infantry to have 110 range.
* I suggest Hard/Hard difficulty setting for optimal challenge.
* I always play on Ultra settings... why don't you? You like miniature armies or too much money in the campaign?
* You can either play DarthMod Empire or DarthMod Empire Commander Edition. The last demands a strong PC (Time to buy a new one).

Ok Helm did you saw the units sizes in custom battle because the size of the units remains the same in GC utill you train new units.

[helmersen]

Yes, I checked it in a custom battle.. The file is named darthcom.pack, right? I get a CTD now..

[joreto]

Ok if you have some reskin mods disable them and try again... or better disable all mods without DarthMod and see what is going to happend.
P.S. If you are using tighter foramations mod it is the problem !!!

[helmersen]

Oh! Ok, thanks I'll try
