You don't, by any chance, have a zero length file somewhere?
If not I think Cope may have more directed questions.
#654
It looks about right; have you tried validating your files via Steam?
@Copernicus
Just a sudden thought, your code injection .dll, could it be possible to put some of that funcionality into the mod launcher when built, so as to tell the game to use the mods folder as the location for custom .ucs loading?
Reason for asking:
I have Wrath of the Blood Ravens, Squad Mod, Space Hulk and my own mod in seperate folders but the .ucs ranges clash. It gets tiring switching .ucs files to and from the Dawn of War II ...\english folder.
EDIT:
That is if you haven't already.
#656
fixed, seems that i had to update DOW2/CR via steam and all is well again, at least i know ive no corrupted files, thanks for help anyway very much appreciated
#657
@Chaos Godstone:
In theory it is possible but I'd need to update the DLL for every DoW2 version and I'm not sure whether I'd want to do that. I'll think about it.
If this tool is not compatible with Retribution, will you make an alternative version for it?
I highly doubt Retribution will make his tool invalid, and even if it did, he could auto-detect the game version without needing to have separate tools.If this tool is not compatible with Retribution, will you make an alternative version for it?
Although if they do significantly change how DoWII works, they'd probably have to patch all versions just to make MP compatible.
Retribution is standalone and it's not compatible with Dow II or CR though.Although if they do significantly change how DoWII works, they'd probably have to patch all versions just to make MP compatible.
#661
I doubt they'll change the format of their binary files for Retribution. What's the point?
I am an Iron Warrior! Iron Within, Iron Without!
You mean the RBF format or the game binary itself? The executable will most certainly be different enough to cause problems with .dll injection. I doubt RBF format will change, but its entirely possible they may have changed it slightly to optimize it or whatever.
#663
The DLL-injection should work with any version. I'm only using public exports, so it should still work.
@ Copernicus
Thanks for giving it consideration, as said, when making a mod, for example: the upcoming Warpstorm over Aurelia, the .ucs being loaded from it's own mod folder would be of use.
It isn't a major thing though, just a niggle with multiple mods.
i am trying to open Dawn of War 2: Codex Edition mod with this tool but i get??
#666
Did you read the user guide as stated in the message?
user guide of copes dow 2 toolbox???yes few times,"please corect module file to load it" dont no what that means?
when i open with note pad i see that ModVersion = 2.3.1 does must be 2.6.0??
no it must not.
i think i understand overlaping
[attrib:common]
folder.01 = GameAssets\Data and
[data:common]
folder.01 = GameAssets\Data
must not be the same??
thanks!! did it,thank horus for using his module i copy and paste his module atrrib and data common,butt i still not understand why must be like that,or can be diferent that still works.

Yes, just as the user guide says.
now i am able to change codex mod as i wont,for myself.
After going through the motions of creating a new mod but not doing anything else it would seem to be the same problem I and others had with the Wrath of the Blood Ravens mod, looking back I think I can appreciate the strain on Cope as we batted our collective heads against the same wall, ... when the door was two feet away!!
Yes Cope, you were right and when the mods referenced in post #655 were given same named .module files as the mods folder name the mods are editable in your tool. So stupid how the mind didn't put the overlapping directories and the conflicting .module issues together before, however, the mods were sorted into their own folders in December, ha ha.
Hmm... I suppose age of post will forgive the double post. The tools, both Corsix and yours would not convert attributes.rbf from the Retribution .rbf set. I suppose 'convert' is the wrong word in relation to your tool as it will not open it.

Version 1.9 released
Changelog:
DownloadV1.9 - 03/05/2011
General:
- first steps to Retribution-compatibility
- you can now select to test mods using Retribution
- when releasing your mod you can now choose to create a launcher for Retribution
- improved logging
- new config system: the settings for plugins are now (finally!) stored in plugins.config instead of plugins.config.config
- the tool will now attempt to automatically open DoW2's FLB file from ATTRIB:simulation\attrib\fieldnames.flb
- general code cleanup
RBF-Editor:
- complete rewrite of the RelicBinaryFile-code (faster, cleaner and easier to work with/expand)
- added options to open/save files as Retribution-RBFs
- removed XML mode (might return but nobody was using it anyway, right?)
PlugIns:
- merged cope.dll and cope.IO.dll
- updated UniFile class to be more consistent with regard to method accessibility
#673
What did the XML mode do, exactly? Simply store the data locally as a (set of) XML document(s)?
#674
It converted RBFs to XML to allow manual editing.
Good job!
The automatically .flb-detect doesn't work for me. Any idea where i've to extract it?
#677
Just extract it so it's located at Attrib:simulation\attrib. If your mod references GameAttrib.sga it will automatically find it.
You could also post your log file, maybe it contains useful information on this issue.
Extracted the GameAttrib.sga to the following directory:

The path you mentioned is certainly not referenced in your module file. Put it into your mod's attrib folder e.g. MyMod\DataAttrib\simulation\attrib.
Ok, thank you!!
Ok, I am really lost here - is there any chance you could post a general step by step process? As in, do I still need to use the extractor and converter tools? Sorry for the noob questions.
D-uh, which button makes dis thing go?
#682
Yes, you will still need to use them. And yes, I'm also planning to write a step-by-step tutorial for Retribution, but for now I need a little break.
So, you go like this:
1. Extract the Toolbox.
2. (so it was for me) I had to create the mod-directories and copy the fieldnames.flb in there like cope wrote, e. g. MyMod\DataAttrib\simulation\attrib\fieldnames.flb
3. The I created a new mod with the Toolbox and voila, the error's gone
I hope this helped a bit.
#684
Quick step-by-step:
1. Extract GameAttrib.sga
2. Extract the RB2 file using my extractor, don't tick the conversion-checkbox.
3. Put the extracted FLB + all the extracted RBFs + attribute.rbf + autoblueprints.scar into a new folder
4. Pack that folder into a new SGA (call it GameAttrib_origRBFs.sga or something along these lines) and make its structure so it resembles that of GameAttrib.sga.
5. Change your mod's module file to use that SGA instead of GameAttrib.sga
6. Start the toolbox, load your mod and you can mod as usual.
Thanks Cope - that's what I need.
Can I do all this and avoid using an SGA archive? - that is just the RBFs?
#686
Yes, you can. But keep in mind that the Toolbox will only load the first attrib-folder. If you decide not to use an extra SGA you won't be able to distinguish your modified RBFs from those you haven't touched yet.
The reason why I ask is that I had trouble packing the SGA and always just modded the RBFs. I think what you mean is that they are all highlighted red, right? So they all appear to be modded? That's fine then. But I still need to set up a seperate mod and not use the DoW2 module right? And just to clarify: In your mod folder, the Data folder is where RBFs go, and Data Attrib is where the SGA would go right?
Alright, last salvo of inane questions, I promise. It's just that I always used the Gameassets/Data/Simulation folder in the other game and just had the modded RBF files there. But if that won't work then I'll just have to adapt here.
#688
They will all appear modded, yes. You will need to create a new mod, at least that's the easiest way to accomplish it. Use the Toolbox to do this.
RBFs go into DataAttrib (better: DataAttrib\simulation\attrib, DataAttrib is like your mod's GameAssets, but only for attrib files). The Data folder is just for graphics, scar files etc. .

#690
More information please. What are you trying to load? Does your new archive have the right structure? Did you pack the FLB?
Edit:
If your game already crashed before, validate your files, delete all your modifications and redo your modified RBFs. They might be faulty.
Just trying to load the repacked DoW2 SGA instead of the original. I packed everything but the RB2 (including all the unpacked/unmodified RBFs). The file structure should be exactly the same. And the game only crashes when I load that SGA instead of the default one. Nothing in the warnings log that's of any help, it just crashes while loading the mod. Would it help if I uploaded & posted the SGA? (or would Relic have a problem with that?)
#692
Post your warnings.log. Have you referenced your new SGA in the module file and removed the reference to the old SGA? The game will crash if it can't find an archive.
Of course, I checked several times to make sure it's referencing the correct file.

The game crashes at this point when it cannot read some RBF file. There might be other reasons for a crash at this point, but I'd reextract the RB2. Are you sure you didn't convert those RBFs to pre-Retribution format? If it still doesn't work, upload your SGA.
Still no luck.
Here's the SGA I packed.

(anti-spambot thing...)
#696
Your attributes.rbf file is in pre-Retribution format. Do not modify the attributes.rbf from GameAttrib.sga, just copy it over to your archive without doing anything to it.
Yep, that did the trick. Thanks a bunch Cope, I finally got my mod to load.
Now there's only one small problem I'm having with the toolbox. I'm getting a lot of uncought exceptions when trying to insert or copy tables from other Retribution RBFs to my edited ones. Here's a trace from one of them:

It doesn't add them either, and trying to edit them keeps giving me the exception. Trying to add them as Corsix-Strings doesn't work either.

Thanks for the report. I've rewritten major parts of the RBF-code so there might still be bugs. I'm currently fixing yours.
Edit:
V1.91 released
Download
Changelog:
V1.91 - 03/06/2011
RBF-Editor:
- fixed crash occurring when trying to paste a value to a value of another type
- the tool will no longer crash when copying tables

Copernicus, i meet a problem here. When i use 1.91 to pack my mod, it told me that it can't find the Archive.exe which should be located at <root>\tools\Archive.exe. The file is there for sure. I checked my AV and firewall, nothing stop it running. And the 1.883 worked fine on packing.
I'm having the same issue as geminikanon. But I'm actually using 1.9.
Argh - my brain hurts - so close yet so far...
