As much as i dont mod dawn of war or games much any more, its completely fine to use it. I handed over all the stuff i had for use in Fok and community modding before i stopped, so i'm actually glad my assets and modifications are being used still after all this time.
Later mortals.
Real life has been getting in the way.
Have been very busy lately.
In the main game, select the captain in multiplayer, then accept. close down the game then load up the mod.
worship isnt in Woa :P but the guo is one of the toughest units in game... barring a baneblade. Does nasty damage too.
Eldar ulthwe (Autarch not at present)
most of the dark angels
Some of the ultramarines
some of the death korps
most of the infantry stuff have to be edited due to how wargears are done but you will still need the content packs purchased in order to use them.
yea, they work similar to wargears and upgrades, just change the fx etc so a lot of the time, you can save a bit of work if theres a similar vehicle or unit.
though new vehicles, like the defiler would obviously need to be done from scratch :D
Updated the Main post:
If you experience not being able to play the game in some way, try the below method. Dow 2 has a silly habit of being awkward with multi player hero selections. I am unsure of any real way to fix this atm. Thanks for your patience.
Try selecting the normal space marine hero in the normal game, and
accept it. Then turn on the mod and try, I know the game has a funny
habit of being awkward with the hero selections :S
Basilisk and leman russ variants are definately in the works :D As is a hellhammer :)
Though when they will be in game I am unsure of.
they wont be in till new anims and terminators are textured :D
Added installation instructions.
Installation instructions:
Install to the steam retribution folder.
In the steam games window, set the launch properties with:
-modname Dow40k2WoA -nomovies -dev
Run the game.
look in the downloads section.
There will be a new release on jan 7th. uk time. A link will be here for those that can't register on the forums or what ever.
Most notable difference in this release is the upgrade system. Though its not fully added for ever unit currently, most of it should be playable and working, chaos knows the amount of time i've been working out the horrendous maze of bugs in that system >_>
Some races will have the DlC content showing if you have purchased it too, though it's not all added yet.
the dow 40k model is a retexture of the old dow1 bolter. this is an entirely new model.
Currently nothing has been added to last stand, though it will be reworked to be a lot harder, and theirs a few ideas for minions and wargear to be added in.
It can also tell the year and has built in clock with mileometer.
twelve bullets, twelve orks , twelve head shots,twelve gory gibs :D
The old one is fugly, i wanted something more awesome and a bit of a new texturing project to work with.
Its for retribution. a new release will be out soonish, just need to finish a few of the upgrade systems.
Lack of recent updates require to show something is going on ;)
glow is going to be team colurable or somethng like that.
vehicles have a look based on damaged state, like wrecks etc. Should be possible to code into the model.
Landraider.
It's still being worked on. It's just the new upgrade system is very complex and confusing with how it's done. It works on some squads and not on others otherwise i'd have a big coding update out :)
One new thing to look forward to is the marks system. Instead of just conventional add one attack etc, they will change how the squad functions kind of like perks. It opens up a lot of different game play styles i think :D
I'm still alive, just major busy.
Its one hero per race currently. Selec the race as usual, but when it comes to the hero selection, IG race has 3 heroes. The hero/commander you choose determines the actual race you'll play.
In game you can build the other commanders/heroes of that race just like other units but they can be revived and keep their wargear.
Not really. I based the face on a real life person :P

I value life, but ultimately see nothing as meaningful and pointless; except for the values and things we hold dear to ourselves. I am also an often precocious and misunderstood being, with many a talent for superlative endeavours....

I will usually try to respect and tolerate everyone equally unless they prove otherwise to have earned more or less of it.
