Simple, step by step guide to installing the Codex Base files.

Posted by on - Basic Installers

First up, if you can't handle .rar files, get winrar here: Rarlab.com

1) Go to your Dawn of War - Soulstorm folder and delete the codex_base folder and codex_base.module file.

2) Download all three parts of the base files.

3) Once downloaded go to the download location, and highlight all 3 .rars:

4) Right click and select "Extract Files":

5) Select your Dawn of War - Soulstorm as the extraction location:

6) Sit back and wait for extraction to complete.

7) Then grab 3.6, extract the same way, and get playing................

I proceeded as suggested here, but it doesn´t seem to work... like it has just unchanged vanilla races. intended or did I make a mistake during installation? (had to tweak the codex_base.module in order to see it in Game Manager)
thx for help

Install 3.6.
The base files don't do anything on their own, they just contain all the art/fx etc needed for the mod. Its separate, so update can be small in size each time. Most of the graphical stuff is static

I can't activate the mod from the game manager in the main menu, even after trying to follow what that one guest said he/she did.

Stupid 5 minute edit... I have the 4.0 version of the mod if that gives any insight.
