The new FC voice isn't as good as the old one, in my opinion.. no fire in the belly.
But, having restored the voice it looked wrong on the new model (which I have fewer
issues with than I thought I would.. anyhow). This tutorial/guide will tell you how
to restore Gabriel Angelos to the skirmish game fully.
100% compatible with online play and independant of mods or patches. Good huh?
Tools/what you need:
Latest version of the Dawn of War Tools, the ModPackager.exe in particular.
You can use Corsix SGA Reader to extract the models, but it stalls on
extracting the sound directories. These tools are used to open the SGA
archives, which is where all the files we will need are located.
Dawn of War still installed
Time.
To be comfortable modding Dawn of War, familiarity with the SGA folder
structure etc. helps.
To restore Gabriel Angelos model to Dawn of War - Dark Crusade:
***************************************************************
Open: ...\Dawn of War\W40k\W40kData-Whm-High.sga
Locate force_commander.whe and force_commander.whm (art\ebpa\races\space_marines\troops\)
Extract these and place them in:
...\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\W40k\Data\art\ebps\races\space_marines\troops
This will restore Gabriel Angelos to the skirmish game
To restore Gabe to the UI
*************************
Open: ..\Dawn of War\W40k\W40kData.sga
Locate forcecommander_icon.tga, there will be 2, both will need to be extracted.
The first can be found here: data\art\ui\ingame\
Extract it and place it here:
...\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\W40k\Data\art\ui\ingame\space_marine_icons\
The second can be found here: data\art\ui\ingame_disabled\
Extract it and place it here:
...\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\W40k\Data\art\ui\ingame_disabled\space_marine_icons\
To restore Gabriel Angelos voice
********************************
(the following can also be used as a guide to restoring
any of the old voices to Dark Crusade).
The reason it's done this way?
When I did this to restore the old Chaos Lord voice to Winter Assault, it would
only work when the files were placed here. It would also only work if ALL the sound files were
extracted. Dawn of War seems to like it's sound files either all Archived, or all extracted, it
doesn't like a mix of the two. Anyhow, onto the second part of restoration...
Using the Modpackager, open:
...\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\W40k\Locale\[language]\W40kData-Sound-Speech.sga
[language] represents the language your copy of Dark Crusade is in. For me, it's English.
At the top level, where the red diamond is, select this, and from the tools menu select
Archive\extract. Extract the entire archive to your desktop (or an alternative location
of your choice). It will create a new folder in that location called: Sound
Open ...\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\W40k\
Create a new folder, name it: Data_Sound
Open this folder, and create a new folder: Med
CUT the newly extracted Sound folder, and PASTE it IN Med (important for later so we don't
get confused).
Next, using the modpackager once again, open:
...\Dawn of War\W40k\Locale\[language]\W40kData-Sound-Speech.sga
[language] represents the language your copy of Dark Crusade is in. For me, it's English.
At the top level, where the red diamond is, select this, and from the tools menu select
Archive\extract. Extract the entire archive to your desktop (or an alternative location
of your choice). It will create a new folder in that location called: Sound
Open the new folder sound, navigate to here:
...\sound\speech\races\space_marines\force_commander
Copy the entire folder, and place it here:
...\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\W40k\Data_Sound\Med\sound\speech\races\space_marines
A couple of last things to do and we're finished.
In Windows, open: ...\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\W40k\Data_Sound\Med\sound\speech\races\
space_marines\force_commander\selection\
Copy this file: 403119.fda
Put it on the desktop and rename it to: 402119.fda
CUT and PASTE it back. 402119.fda is a new sound file, it contains the new 'Walk softly
and carry a big gun' speech. 403119.fda is the older version, renaming and pasting it over
removes the last of the new FC chat.
In Windows, open:
...Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\W40k\Data_Sound\Med\sound\speech\races\space_marines\force_commander\die\
Copy these files:
die_1.fda
die_2.fda
die_3.fda
Place them on the desktop and rename them to:
2776200.fda
403400.fda
403401.fda
CUT and PASTE these back into \force_commander\die\
This replaces the last of the death vocals.
This completes the transformation, Gabriel Angelos rides again!
my space marines salute you 
high fives all round sorry for being such a noob lol. I was using mod packmanager on the first two steps and thought I was ok because step 1 worked.
