This is an amazing mod, but I keep having troubles getting custom factions to work.
I have downloaded all of the needed mods, and the recompilation for the W40k mod.
My Factions.lua file looks like this currently:

My Cortex Command folder looks like this:

You also happened to leave the Tek Troopers out of the OP.

Due to the fact you have to allow a mod to check your first post, you ended up missing this post.

Ah I see, But can you help me tell the difference between the space marines? as in there are blood ravens and blood ravens2? It is quite confusing.


The ones with '2' on the end are for the recompilation version of the 40K pack, which has modified actors and additional weapons/grenades/etc.

I'm noticing that on some missions I'm getting an error about indexing a variable 'brain' which displays the symptom of infinitely spawning my brain unit until the game crashes or hits the actor limit. Having checked that I haven't made the mistake of enabling factions I don't have installed, what else could have gone wrong? I'm guessing halfassedly that it might have something to do with the latest 40k recompilation pack since that's the faction I've been using, but I'm not too sure.

If you're using the rereleased/updated recompilation, make sure you're using the files that end with 2 (e.g. Ultramarines2.lua) because there are some significant changes between the original release and the updated version, especially those a few involved changing a number of actor and weapon names. Trying to use the old faction files will result in things breaking.

The ability to only use faction specific items is a pretty great idea, but it would probably have to be supplemented with a tradestar faction that all factions can use or something to that effect since Lizardmen don't have any craft, and most factions don't have a brain unit (which leads to horrific insta-fails every time)

Well it's not forced in any way since R2, you're free to use any crafts. Most factions just use default crafts and rockets.

Fair enough, but it seems like there should be some factionless units like the default dropship/rockets (if the foreign craft thing is changed), turrets (if they are counted as foreign actors) and brain robot for when the mod is completed. The alternative would be for every faction to have its own turrets, brain, and craft.

There is no such thing as foreign anymore. You may use whatever you need, but if you want to be fair you can use only your faction's devices.

I imagine it is because as a "Faction" they are two actors with no craft, no weapons, and no brain.

Loving the mod so far - it's good to have a proper campaign to play through.

However, I have come across a couple of bugs during my playthroughs:

1) Occasionally, whenever one of my territories is attacked, the game will spawn multiple brain/command types, anywhere from an extra one to another nine. Coincidentally, this also happens with some of the other troop types as well, which can cause the game to lag badly if the territory in question has a sizeable garrison force. Thankfully, however, it doesn't happen too often.

2) On missions that require me to evac my brain/command unit to complete said mission (such as treasure hunts, or certain territory attack missions), the mission instantly fails the moment I load the brain/command unit into the transport craft.

For example - a treasure hunt mission: I'll gather up the computer hacks/chips, fight off the tradestar interlopers, and call down a craft for extraction. However, the second my brain/command unit is loaded into the craft, the mission fails. This happens every single time.

3) On rare occasions, the selected transport craft won't appear when bringing in purchased reinforcements, meaning my troops are simply dropped from above in a doomed - but somewhat entertaining - freefall (with predictably messy results).

4) Not sure if this is a bug as such, but whenever I exit to the main menu and then go back into Unmapped Lands, it instantly throws me back into the world map of the last save I was playing (unless this was intended to happen, that is, in which case, ignore this point).

Other than that, this mod certainly breathes some needed life into CC - there's only so many times you can slaughter hapless AI drones in a skirmish defence or 'one man army' battle before you grow tired of it.

I am not sure if it is just me, but I find most of the attack missions impossible to beat because the AI has unlimited reinforcements. The only problem I have with defence missions is that my brain always starts in the worst possible place ( bunker roof, etc ) instead of the basement where I want him to be. Even if I use the AI move, there is literally no time to move your men into positions before the enemy waves start.

There is nothing wrong with the campaign being challenging, but at the moment I only find it frustating. Otherwise it is great and you must have really put a lot of effort into it.
