How do I change the Commander Model?

[Tyron]

Does Anyone know how to change the commander model in dawn of war dark crusade campaign, I want to make the commander a Grey Knight, But im reletivly new to modding, does anyone know how?

[GGINS]

in ebps look for extension called entity_blueprint_ext. change animator into the grey knight model name; data\art\ebps...\grey_knight(model name). remember to change the sound and weapons to the appropriate ones for the new commander.

What's an extention :? should I use Corsix's mod studio or another program?

[GGINS]

corsix is faster. an extension refers to the things u see in the sbps and ebps files(e.g. health_ext)

[Tyron]

Ok thanks for the help

[Tyron]

Can you make a tutorial on how to change this because im really struggling
im looking for and IG grey knight commander but I can't do it

[corncobman]

Open Corsix Mod Studio.
Open your mod
On the left panel, go to data/attrib/ebps/races/space_marines/troops
Open grey_knights.rgd
Select the entity_blueprint_ext line in the middle panel and click on the + sign beside it
Copy the box beside where it says animator
Open the unit whose model you want as the Grey Knight
Click on the + beside entity_blueprint_ext
Paste the line into the animator box

How do i switch the weapons and voices?

[corncobman]

Weapons are in combat_ext

Voices are in the ui_ext

I changed my animator line for my IG commander Single player but now he just comes up as the purple box? what did I do wrong?

EDIT: Solved I forgot I put race\space_marine instead of race\space_marines

Is it still possible for my grey knight to count as a hero?

EDIT: Solved by change ui hero from false to true,
but 1 more thing. how do i change the BIG icon to Grey knight and also the name?

[corncobman]

Both the icon and the name are ui_ext.

You will have to change the stuff for the entity and the squad

data/attrib/ebps/races/guard/troops/[unit name]->ui_ext->ui_info
data/attrib/sbps/races/guard/[squad name]->squad_ui_ext->ui_info

[Tyron]

found icon and screen name but that only works for small icons. When I select the unit it says Command squad and the command squad big icon

[GGINS]

for the name of ur new commander: go ebps and sbps, ui extension>ui_info. find screen name id. tat's ur squad's name. Create a new UCS value and name it. then remember the id screen and input it inside the screen_name_id.

For pic: there should be a screen_icon in both ebps and sbps. i think u onli changed the ebps and not the sbps

[Tyron]

ahh, thanks I forgot the sbps thanks!
With this info you have given me I can do something pointless

THXS!
