Fear the purple polygons

[1eyedParrot]

This is what happens when you try to skirmish a race with no models.....

Uuuuummmm.. wtf? How did you manage that? That's awesome!

[scarface]

Lol, are you already modding the game???

[King Raa]

You win the prize for first complete race mod. Well done!

Look, you even managed to get each unit to fit in theme with one another!

Cool!

[Lord Dante]

How did u get them in there. or did u delete some race setup?

[uberdayo]

lmbfa nice 1 :P

[BrianGeneral]

Oh shit.WTF ARE THEY!?

But funny though.:D

Maybe you should make them irregular in sizes.

[1eyedParrot]

They're the eldar race, the demo has no models of them so they show up as purple squares.

Fairly easy, after extracting the data files with SpookyRat's SGA tool I just edited the racebps files in the attrib folder.


eldar.lua
GameData["race_details"]["playable"] = true

Omg Its The Tau!

[Fang]

Have you tried the orks cause they do have models??

[Lion El'Jonson]

can I just ask, how can they actually fight back, or do they just float around??

[Strangefate]

you could probably mix in the content from the BEta, since all races are there (i guess)

[Fang]

Haha you can add the orks and they have models

[Sps]

got one better - using beta art - sort off - working on textures but atleast now I can play eldar (assuming blindfold otherwise id puke)

Lolly, hehehehe.....good job mate! So tell us, how do you import into the game? File formats? Howto? :) And, the purple square reminds me of.......the ph334l3$$ green cube of Homeworld! Haha, remember that?

[Sps]

he simply enabled the race in race.lua file - I wen't one step further thanks to his tinkering and enabled eldar, and ork.

Ork have models in and textures allready.
Eldar - I had to take 1.4 beta art over into the demo data folder - fairly straightforward. Notice the council does MORE ranged damage now.....

Assuming I did not screw up some of the files beta vs demo - gonna go check out other res items etc for eldar - real curious and worried as with conceal AND fortune - freaking scouts were dealing seriously noticeable damage to my council.

checked it out

yep lots of eldar changes - but they are not nerfs - quite the opposite :)

[cherrymix]

Sps: do unit anims and speech for eldar work for you?
If so, what files exactly did you copy over?

[King Raa]

eldar.lua
GameData["race_details"]["playable"] = true

When I used that tool and when I went to extract the file it always said wrong format or damaged file.

What do I do? PLZ help

Thanks

Game comes out the 21st, as the Demo Says, or the 20th as they initiallly stated. Either way in about a week.

bleh i be damned if i remember - the unit speech and hud icons work as they should in retail - a lot of eldar changes are visible as well - namely almost council like banshee melee and doubled spider ranged and cc (cc has been doubled acrss the board).

Altho ranger ranged went from 75-97 in 1.4 to 9-12 in my demo hack.

I *think* what i have moved is this

from

C:\Program Files\THQ\Dawn of War BETA\W40k\Data\art\ebps\races\eldar

to

C:\Program Files\THQ\Dawn of War DEMO\W40k\Data\art\ebps\races\eldar




anims do not work - solid non moving objects no textures to speak off

speech works fine

Off to be looking at relics spaghetti code - I HATE lua
