DOW Supplemental

DAWN OF WAR
SUPPLEMENTAL for D.C.



(CREDITS)
First of all, I would like to thank Medes, the C2C team and HollowTiger for making it possible for me to use the (rhino v1.2 / C2C team) and the (Thunderhawk drop animation / Hollow Tiger). :salute:

(DESCRIPTION)
Basically this allows for units/ infantry, terminators, dreadnoughts, rhinos to be deepstriked via thunderhawk from the vehicle bld. The rhino comes out with gunner/bolter, can be upgraded with a flamer, can hold troops and then load into vehicle bld to be flown by thunderhawk, over impassible or dangerous terrain, to the desired location. Drop pods can still deep strike from the Orbital Relay Bld and terminators go normally from the barracks. For me, this adds another dimension, increases the fun factor to the game and is functional in both skirmish as well as campaign mode. I don't spend loads of time online but I suppose it works as long as all players have identical builds going in.

(INSTALLATION)
Please excuse the installer (my first) and note the following.
Be sure to clear the destination folder line “blank” before pressing OK or the exe will put additional files into your Dawn Of War- Dark Crusade directory and you’ll have to re-arrange folders to get it to work. Once unzipped, just activate with the mod manager.

(HOLLOW’S README FOR WA THUNDERHAWK ANIMATION)
“hollowtiger's thunderhawk deepstrike anim nothing special, just a rework of the single player campaing thunderhawk landing and takeoff anim into a deepstrike animation. stick it in any mod you like, you dont need my permission, but please give me credit to fuel my ego if you release your mod on the internet if you dont release your mod, do what you like with my modest effort
HollowTiger”

(Terms of use)
HollowTiger, Medes and the C2C team need to be credited and/or need to give permission for their contributions. As for my compilation\edit, if you like the idea and would like to incorporate it into your work, feel free. I’d love to hear about it.

This doesn't seem to work for me - Rhino icon in MC is not activated. Not having dreadnaughts is a drawback. Does the orbital relay building have to be built in order to get Rhinos? Later in the game, I could get Rhino's but they spawned in the normal way - not in a slot for deep striking. I've installed it per the directions and I have a deep strike icon in the console - see screenshot below:

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. I downloaded the files myself and everything seems to run fine on my end. Anyone else having issues? Make sure no files have been mixed,(using with other mods for example might throw things off). This requires the vehicle rgd file to be edited correctly for the the icon to light up. Mine doesn't have any special requirements other than the MC to be built so... The Rhinos spawn immediately, normally. It's an option, also so the AI can still deploy rhino's and use them normally. You can run them off to the front line or load them with troops, (or just strike infantry or empty rhinos for that matter) re-load into the M.C. and then deep strike strategically by thunderhawk wherever you choose. Dreads are still available by drop pod from the orbital relay. I hope you get it workin :)
