    Well, I myself believe that DoW/CoH both are vastly better than DoW2, but still I'd argue that DoW2 isn't harder to mod than CoH (admittedly it certainly is harder to mod than DoW). I guess you're right with your points - seems like we have to wait for the new CoH, unless we see the same effect there as well.

    When to report?

    Everytime I try to save a RBF i got an exception like this:

    Spoiler



    I'm using the newest toolbox (1.991) and my games are Dow II and CR (2.6xxx)

    My log:

    Here's a thing, if I am right it would appear to be the same thing that plagues me with DoWII - CR and that would probably mean that if you try to save and get the error but click continue and close the tab without saving when prompted, it has actually saved the file!

    Beats me why it does this with these games and not Retribution but it is.

    If it is the same that is.

    Hi,
    I really like to mod some wargears with your tool! but I can't get it work! I don't see where to post the log.txt here so i just paste it then!

    It's been reported a few times. The path is wrong an cannot be set manually. Author does not seem to care.
    If you have enough disk space, you could try to copying the game to the location where it is looking for it.

    @Cucc:
    I beg to differ. First of all: I do care and I feel slightly offended by statements such as Author does not seem to care. Now for the problem itself: Let me try to explain it a bit more in-depth. This is the init-code which tries to find the correct path:

    Code:
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(lastPath))
{
    LoggingManager.SendMessage("Could not determine last used path, setting it to default path.");
    steamPath = MainManager.GetSteamPath();
    if (steamPath == null)
    {
        AppEnd("User failed to provide a valid Steam path.");
        return;
    }
    if (Directory.Exists(steamPath + GameConstants.RETRIBUTION_PATH_FROM_STEAM))
        lastPath = steamPath + GameConstants.RETRIBUTION_PATH_FROM_STEAM;
    else if (Directory.Exists(steamPath + GameConstants.DOW2_PATH_FROM_STEAM))
        lastPath = steamPath + GameConstants.DOW2_PATH_FROM_STEAM;
    else
    {
        LoggingManager.SendWarning("Could neither find Retribution nor DoW2 directory; searched for " +
                                   steamPath + GameConstants.RETRIBUTION_PATH_FROM_STEAM + " and " +
                                   steamPath + GameConstants.DOW2_PATH_FROM_STEAM);
        AppEnd("Could neither find DoW2 nor Retribution");
    }
}
    And for the sake of completeness, here is GetSteamPath from MainManager:

    Code:
    public static string GetSteamPath()
{
    LoggingManager.SendMessage("Trying to get Steam path from the registry");
    RegistryKey rkSteamPath = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software\\Valve\\Steam");

    if (rkSteamPath == null || rkSteamPath.GetValue("SteamPath") == null)
    {
        LoggingManager.SendMessage("Failed to get Steam path from the registry");
        var folderBrowser = new FolderBrowserDialog
                                {
                                    ShowNewFolderButton = false,
                                    Description = @"Select your Steam directory..."
                                };
        if (folderBrowser.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            return folderBrowser.SelectedPath;
        return null;
    }
    return rkSteamPath.GetValue("SteamPath").ToString();
}
    What happened in the case of helios0524? The following happened: The tool first tried to get the last path (and I admit that this feature needs some work as it might fail when the tool was last used to open some obscure SGA from an even obscurer path). It failed to find a last path, so it tried to determine the path of DoW2 on its own. As you can see from the log-file that helios provided, the tool found a steam path in his registry and used that (otherwise we'd see a warning in his logfile). The steam-path it got was d:/space marines/warhammer 40k space marine/steam. If you use Steam, this path must be valid as Steam and Steam-games themselves use that registry entry to get the Steam directory. I myself can't think of a reason why Steam would use such a path which obviously points to a subdirectory of a Space Marine installation. If Dawn of War 2 is installed via Steam (anything else would be a cracked version because DoW2 is a Steam only game) then it will be located in SteamApps -- and it obviously isn't. So there is something very wrong with the Steam-installation.
    (If you installed Steam on a drive and wish to install your games on another drive, you could always place a symbolic link for SteamApps in the Steam directory which links to another directory on another drive -- but that symbolic link would be treated just like a normal path by the file system and my tool would find it, so that's not the case here. If Steam offers a possibility to change the location of SteamApps, e.g. via the registry, that I don't know of, feel free to correct me.)
    So now you could say that I don't care about it in the same way that I don't care about users who try to run DoW2 on a Mac: I simply make certain reasonable assumptions (e.g. the user's using a windows OS, the user got a working Steam setup [as the game is steam-only] etc.) about the environment of the tool.

    @helios0524:
    The problem is that the steam path in your registry is somewhat weird. My tool supports all conventional methods of separating SteamApps from the Steam folder (as there are none besides symbolic links which I consider conventional), so if you are using a very special setup, you might run into problems. You can of course post your setup and I'll see what I can do.


    Regards,
    -cope.

    so I guess I have to install steam! mine is a cracked version I believe! legit copies are so expensive and rare in my country! I'll try it out and see what happens next!

    Hmmmm! bad luck!

    @cope:
    I thought this was another tool about which I complained for the same reason.
    Apparently, that is not the case. My mistake. I hereby apologize.

    @helios0524
    I would not expect much support on binaries from questionable sources.

    I guess my chance of being able to use your tool is screwed up! it simply doesn't work no matter how I try! Although the tool seem to be more user-friendly! too bad!
    But let me ask a few things here: where would I put my mod folder called "bolter"? in the root directory or anywhere would do? would the new mod prevent or be prevented other mods from working(I only use cheatmod of Shasva)?

    Not belong to this thread, I know! the other thread, which i posted the question, seem to die 1 or 2 year ago! and I don't see any thread specifically point that out, even the threads you provided in the first place, I think!

    I'll try that! but right now I'm more concerned about a specific subfolder in the GameAssets that I have to place the mod in (if it must be so in order to work; Shasva's cheatmod and the full wargear after mission 1 work with me). The other "how-to" threads speaks vaguely of this! Perhaps I can find a better answer here! (again, not belong to the thread, I know!)

    The mod i made are just a level-adjusted heavy bolter lv 19 (I made it lv 5).

    Hello, I followed your steps up until:

    "The Displayed Mod Name, the Description and the Mod Version are optional, we will just leave them blank. Hit OK. The tool will now take some time to load all the files required to continue, this may take some time. For me it's usually a few seconds."

    as after I pressed OK, this is what the log file said happened:

    When creating the mod, did you check the 'Repack GameAttrib.sga'-checkbox? If so, try again and don't check it this time.

    Version 1.991b

    Not much, just a small update which may break everything!
    See OP for download.

    Changes:
    V1.991b - 05/13/2012
    General:
    - updated the tool to be compatible with the newest revision of my libraries (please report any bugs)
    - the tool will now accept fake steam paths in order to enable non-DoW2 owners to use the tool on files from CoH or Space Marine (may be unstable)

    Well, currently I'm updating the tool because I'm using it myself .

    @Cucc:
    For most modders there probably was no reason to update to the newer version.

    Already got another update planned as I noticed that you can't actually rename folders and I definitely want this to be possible. If you notice any bugs, please drop me a line.

    Need more information. If it crashes, please post the crashlog in code-tags so I can see where it fails and why it fails.

    If I missed this I'm sorry, but is there a way to open and use the old Chaos Rising and such abilities in Retri? When I try to open them I get an incompatibility error

    Yeah, there is a possibility to do this: Go to Plugins->RBF Editor->Options and uncheck the Open in Retribution mode (or something along those lines) checkbox. This will then allow you to open pre-Retribution RBFs. If you want to use them in Retribution, make sure to check the Save in Retribution mode (or something along those lines) checkbox, so any RBF you save will be compatible to Retribution.

    oh cool thanks for the help Copernicus! Love the tool btw!

    Edit - Is there anyway to get the animations too? I'm trying to get the Raptor Assault and Melta Sweep abilities to work and they appear but do nothing
    Double Edit - Bwah sorry for all this but is there anyway to create a custom name value?

    Hello guys, I have a problem with the random skirmish. After the first time played with the mod every time I close and open the game again randomly hero always falls in Techmarine. Someone is having the same problem?

    Hi,

    Sorry to bother everyone with what is probably quite a basic question - but I am just about pulling my hair out over this. I was a fairly heavy user of the Corsix Mod Studio, to mod DOW1 - and I am still a heavy user of it to mod CoH. I have recently acquired DOW2: Retribution, and started using Copernicus's Tool Box (latest version) to mod it. But I just can't seem to fathom how to add extra items to any of the ext sections. Like adding in an extra upgrade to a squad - or an extra ability.

    I have tried looking through as much of the thread as I can - but haven't come across any clues. Can someone please just tell me how to use the Toolbox to add a extra upgrade to a squad ?? That would tell me how to add everything else that I need to add.

    And many thanks to Copernicus for creating such a great tool for modding DOW2. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to create it - and maintain/improve it. Excellent work Copernicus - well done !!!

    best wishes

    sunray

    you need to build your rbf library, and that gives you a ginat list of every action and ext. unfortunately there is no filter for it (maybe something for later releases cope? COH was easy because all the reference files were in clear folders, having a reference list of sorted actions /upgrade/critical/ability, upgrades and ext's would help a bunch)

    what this does is copy the value now were the the top of these files sais abilites highlight that word and when its seen blue hit cntrl and then v this past the valul you copyed form the ability eairler.no you should have 5 abilitys.just always do this when upgrades abilitys whatever your copying .be shure if you mess it up dont save just open close copes box up and restart process till you get it right when right save at bottom and youl have what you need now in tools on far left is a test mod use that see if it all worked.hope this helps budy.Bloodravage tought me this so ill pass it to you.

    Thanks Khorney and shadowninja0069,

    I greatly appreciate both of your responses. Sometimes you overlook the logical process - because it seems too easy. In this case, the logical process is the right one. Cntrl+C - then Cntrl+V - does the trick alright. Sometimes you kick yourself for not trying the easy stuff first. Now I can have my "personalised" stormtrooper based army.

    Many thanks to you both

    Hello,

    I have been trying to get your editor to work with the latest steam version of DoW2 (recently purchased in their mass discount deal, too good too miss!)

    After some trial & error, searching etc I got around most of the errors;

    Spoiler



    However I keep getting an error whenever I try to save anything, this does not crash the toolbox but produced a "Cope's DoW2 Toolbox - 'modname'" error saying;

    Spoiler


    The log file reads as;

    Spoiler



    Which to me seem like the is no error recorded there.

    I think this is the same error as the poster above me, any suggestions would be highly appreciated as I love to tinker with games but cannot work out this error & cannot continue with it as it stops me saving anything.

    Thank you in advance

    @Marrv, mikedude95:
    I'm looking into it . I just returned from vacation and am very confident that we'll have that bug fixed soon.
