Swapping Warlock Head

[Rhedd]

So Exo Elite was nice enough to make a mod that added the antlers to the MP Warlock helm, but it also adds the antlers to Warlock Guardian squad leaders.

Does anyone know if it's possible to just change the helm of the commander warlock, and if so, which model that might be?

[Xaero]

It must be possible because as you rank up in MP your commander doesn't change until last, I'll take a look see what I can find in the sgas

[Rhedd]

So the squad leader Warlocks get cooler looking before the Warlock Commander? Heheh. That's brilliant. >_>

Thanks for the help! I'd love my favorite commander to look a bit snazzier than his troops, and the antlers are awesome. I have a TT miniature just like that.

[{Exo}{Elite}]

Oh sorry Rhedd, I can't seem to give the commander antlers without the warlock having them aswell (They use the same texture file.)

[Rhedd]

That's okay, Exo. You tried!

I was surprised to see that it changed both of them, myself.

Surely the commander and the squad leader get different MP unlocks (don't they?), so equally surely, there must be some way of doing it.

Pretty silly if not... but possible.

[Xaero]

Hmm, it's possible the squads of guardians themselves and not the attached warlock are what changes when you get the upgrade in MP, sorry for getting your hopes up haha :P

[Rhedd]

Well, if it's not possible, it's not possible. ^_^

I'd love to have my commander look cooler than his troops, as I said, but all Warlocks looking cooler isn't so terribly bad.

I asked because I wasn't having any luck figuring out how it could be done, either.

I tried to PM you exo, but your inbox is full :p

I was hoping some of you guys could help me out getting a little thing here done. I'm trying to change the head of my Force Commander, albeit it seems to fail. I had the impression that all you needed to do was change the name in the ABP file from "force_commander_head" to e.g. "space_marine_head". Seems like I was wrong and it needs more work.

So I ask, could someone quickly recap the necessary steps to change parts?

[{Exo}{Elite}]

Simple, all I do is rename all the texture files including the models and such and put it into the force commanders directory, or you could just rename the models and such.
Havent tried the second one.

[Kresjah]

Damn, there should really be an easier way than that... whilst others are free to do what they want, I never really liked to distribute unmodified gamefiles. :\

We'll see what I end up doing.


EDIT: In that case, what are the ABP files for?

[{Exo}{Elite}]

They show where the files are located at I suppose.
