default is C:\program files(x86)\steam\steamapps\common\dawn of war ii - retribution. It should already be in the installer.

When you went to install the mod, did you specify for it to install to this THQ directory? Go into the dow2 ret folder and check to make sure there is a destroyer40k folder and destroyer40k.module file. Once those are in there, make sure the shortcut is pointing to the right spot and has -modname destroyer40k at the end of the target line.

I've noticed the standard space marines and their chaos counterparts don't have one flamer at start.

Yea i removed the starting flamers, was a little too OP. Its an upgrade now and the tac marines should still be able to switch out weapon upgrades as needed.

umm probably a stupid question but do I need to uninstall the first mod files or do I leave them there

also it seems to crash when I go to the tau army painter I don't know if the files aint there or its cause the original files are conflicting sense the tau models are still in the IG army painter

No you dont need to uninstall, same file names just different file structure, so it will just overwrite it. And yea the game will still crash when selecting tau in the army painter. This is not fixable unless I re-do the entire mod from scratch. For the now the tau will remain in the IG army painter.

There is never going to be stuff for tyranids and orks right?
Well, at least this is not like those dawn 1 mods in which you had 22 different Leman russ but not a single new ork unit.

Can you use those cool ork skins some guy posted in relic forums? those ones with the cyborg face warboss and reinforced hull for the looted tank? maybe you could do skarboys (goff veterans) or tyranids with weird color paterns or spikes, whatever.

There was this guy and his tyranid stuff
Forums.relicnews.com

And this other for the orks.
Forums.relicnews.com

Shuma and company make lots of public stuff for other mods so would there be any problem in using all this?
Also would it be possible to add some kind of option that rises up the pop cap and eliminates all unit restrictions? i mean, sure it would be imba, but, it would be completely optional too, like a special mode or something.

I mean, sorry for asking so much dude, but this is the only mod for dawn of war 2 that stills active enough, and the only one that offers what i am searching for.

So a little of love for tyranids and orks wouldn't be a bad thing, right?

Well im sorry to say but I will be unable to do anymore work on the mod anytime soon. I am in dire need of a break from modding. If someone else would like to pick up on it, feel free to do so.

I have also installed this mod to :C/Program Files (x86)/THQ/Dow2 Ret and it still crashes, I do have the Destroyer40k folder, AND the Destroyer40k.module file, but I still crash. Should Ireinstall? Or did the Adeptus Mechanicus release a fix for this somewhere?

I don't know what that is but I might know a way to fix it so to speak. I did this and it worked but this is all with steam and the game being placed in there default locations on the C drive. Anywhere else and you'll have to make the changes where needed.

For the short cut have the
Target:"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 56400 -nomovies -modname destroyer40k

For the
Start in:"c:\program files\steam\SteamApps\common\dawn of war ii - retribution"

And try that. Again this is Steam being in its default location and the games as well. Let me know if this helps at all.

create a new shortcut to dow2 and add the switch -modname destroyer40k at the end. make sure to set the shortcut properties to 'run as administrator' (right click the shotcut and go to advanced)

If that doesnt work, try adding the switch directly to the shortcut in the steam library. find dow 2in your steam library, right click it, go to properties. go to set launch options.put -modname destroyer40k in there. note that if you want to run the non mod version of the game after that simply remove the switch.
