Holy shit, this got updated? Time to RESUME

Some models have been upgraded since the mod first released, some have stayed the same.

The main purposes of cooking the mod were to reduce file size and increase performance.

so in this new version is the tau models/vfx from weapons more detailed/"higher quality"?

I have cooked the Advent to Tau and Tau Armory mods and am currently uploading the new versions. This will make the file size of Advent to Tau 1.2 GB and the file size of the Tau Armory mod 708 MB; however, the Tau Content volumes (4.38 GB) will no longer be necessary for either mod.

I won’t be removing the content volumes from the workshop (because doing so could present bugs to people’s current campaigns) but I will be emptying out the contents so they won’t be taking up space on the drives of those who stay subscribed to them.

If u know warhammer 40k you should know that Tau have always the right tool for the job. Just completed a campaign 10+squad and overwhelming enemy pods playing as Advent VS TAU Empire and it was crazy beyond my imagination. Really enjoyed.

Are the grav inhibitor drones intended to be rage-inducing? Because, uh, they're really good at it. Spawning in and immediately destroying all my cover and stunning everyone they hit.

There are some new abilities, but they are mostly as close as possible to vanilla units.

After playing around with this for a few missions... I could be wrong but this is just a cosmetic overhaul? I thought it added new abilities to them since they are "new" units

@Dęąth Viper From having played all 3 total conversion mods. I'd say the hardest was the Imperium to advent one, while the easiest was the star wars mod.

Of all of your total conversion mods, who would you say is the hardest to fight? I want to play against the toughest you made! :)

After a few test runs, this mod seems to work fine with a better advent and the hive. When i installed an enemy reskinner mod it somehow fixed the t posing sectoid problem.

I am currently running tau overhaul with a better advent, bio division, the hive, all of clauses enemy mods and every enemy mod from the creative xenos mod list.

It all works fine.
except for when i added requiem for man, when pair that mod with this tau conversion mod it seems to crash my game

other enemy packs and overhauls are compatible.

@MostlyHarmless as the mod stated that "The Hive overrides Chryssalids" does that mean it would replace the kroot carnivor with "The Hive" units? or would it just break the game?

I tried this mod together with A Better Advent it worked fine other than some T posing sectoids.

need a cosmetic version of that Guevesa armor!!!

Is there somewhere I can modify the krootox rider hp? I've lost so many terror attacks to the civilian groups getting swarmed by 10 30hp crysallids with guns that deal 10 damage while my resistance troops are dealing 2 damage

@wacci the armor its already out, its on the workshop, search something like guardsman or something similar, btw just to let you know, you will have to do a modification to the files, because they will only be avviable for tier 1 armor

well you release the armor for the imperial guards?

Given how many mods are needed to get the Advent to Imperium mod to work are you going to make new version of that mod or do we just put up with the old one?

This mod is fantastic, really nice work :)

Any chance u will make this as a diff faction in the campagain? like the SCP faction mods?

Gotcha, thanks. I was just confused at how many people seem to be getting them both working

TBH, I wouldn't recommend playing this mod and LWOTC in the same campaign and I would generally advise against mixing overhauls.

this is in a collection of mods with long war of the chosen but they aren't compatible? I keep getting advent mixed in with tau any fix?

How about you add some information to that bug report?

RECON DRONE BUG

est il possible d'obtenir également les unités advent ? de désactiver la désactivation des unités advent

Jesus Christ, what were you thinking with these rulers? Otherwise it's great.

Yo i love your work man and its sad to hear you arent doing any more conversions but i think many will be happy with what youve created!

Awesome thanks for the response! I figured it would be a conflict of some kind, but I always drop by the main mod to see if anyone else might have the same issue first and save me some headache lol.

Just did a test and the Viper King replacer's animations were normal.

This issue sounds like a mod conflict; something overriding the Viper King's intended animations.

Hey don't mean to be a bother, but for some reason the replacement for the viper king still has the Viper king animation set. As much as it is fun seeing a dude slither around on the ground Is there a way I can give it a more human rigging?

Thanks for the quick response!

I'm still working on it intermittently. No estimate on when it'll be released I'm afraid.

Any update on the playable version?

Grav drones seem to have an option to hack them but the hack doesn't seem to actually do anything even with 100% success and the menu is blank when you do it

is there an old republic weapons pack coming possibly?

How to start it? I install it but the game start as normal. Did I miss something?

any chance we could have them as a faction?

I hope the Tau become playable, because I would like to make my own Farsight Enclave army

Amazing mod. It brought me back to XCOM.

this mod makes me hope we will get Dreadnaughts down the line

@saximaphone
I believed there is a good chance that is being worked on. with all of the holidays and big releases I dont really expect anything this year sadly.

Actually, having these as soldier cosmetics and then adding buildable suits/vehicles and 'playable alien' style auxillaries would be cool

Still a gorgeous mod, but I could never attack such a beautiful faction. :) ......but I would like to rain down terror as the Tau :)

If I wanted to replace some of the Gui'vesa units with say some from a different mod, how difficult would it be to do that? I'm not sure how much is hard-coded in.

Finally some Kroot love! I'd love for there to be some cosmetics for them.

Are you using something like A Better ADVENT?

for some reason everything works but they use advent weapons?

This is an incredible mod. Rarely comment, MostlyHarmless. Fantastic job.

In your opinion, between the Empire, the Imperium and this one, what is the hardest of your Advent Total Overhaul?

A Tau Techpriest... man this is cursed AF

Great Job
