[MOD]Shuma's Wargear room-Advertisement: Retribution online ranked compatible mods

[Shuma]

Hey guys, some of you probably know me just as "That guy who bitches a lot" but surprisingly i also make simple 'mods' for lack of a better word for Dawn of War 2, now that the Retribution beta came out i got some shiny new toys to play with so i've decided to make an announcement here simply because i've seen a lot of people didn't like certain things in Retribution, at least one which i know was a surprise for everyone.

All this mods are compatible with Ranked games, your opponent however will not see the difference unless he has the same mods:

IG:


Chaos Rising Guardsmen:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/eahbd9...eautyGuard.sga

This mod simply replaces the Retribution guardsmen with the CR Guardsmen, ie only Guardsmen and Heavy Weapon teams are affected.


Imperial Guard General with Commissar's Hat and Cigar:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/xkw85w...v/GCHCigar.sga



General helmet:

Whiteshield's Hellgun replacement:
http://forums.relicnews.com/showthre...post1045237439

Replaces Stormtroopers, Whiteshield's hellgun replacement replaces hotshot lasguns with the hellgun.


IG Packs:


Death Korps of Krieg Pack:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/5lruvs.../KriegPack.sga


Orks:


Freebooters for MP:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/9994zh...ebootersMP.sga

I'm sure the lack of Freebooters in MP was a shock for everyone in the beta, this mod simply replaces the models and textures of the basic Orks of DoW II and CR with those of the Freebooters from Retribution.

Edit: So as we all know Relic has added the Freebooters to MP too, well the difference between Relic's and this ones is pretty simple, this ones change the whole race, ie you cannot choose from basic orks or freebooters, second this ones are team colorable and third this one have rank unlock, Relic's start awesome looking, this ones get awesome looking as you rank up.


Ork Boys Red Eyes:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/og6ph9...oysRedEyes.sga

Space Marines:


The Blood MagpiesRavens got this hat from the Inquisition, the Inquisition has no records of this:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/p4j51c...yMagpies01.sga


Diomede's Helmet:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/nyn69l...DSMVHelmet.sga

This one is obviously a joke but the space is reserved for the future return of Diomede's helmet

Space Marine Packs:


Black Templar Pack:
http://www.mediafire.com/?dccudc5b2oo1nf2

Chaos:


Eliphas's Helmet:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/8uuu26...phasHelmet.sga


Blighted Bolter:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/k95g8r...htedBolter.sga

This little mod gives the Plague Champion and Chaos Marines the blighted bolter by default, in other words, they always have that bolter. Enjoy


GUO Reskin:

A simple reskin for the GUO.

Follow the first link for info on what the pack contains, download link and some other random stuff that might interest you if you like Tyranids, enjoy.

--------------------------------

Instalation is very simple, you simply download the .sga file and place it in your \GameAsset\Mods folder, if there's no Mods folder create it. This folders can be found under "Valve\Steam\steamapps\common\dawn of war ii - retribution beta\"

All this mods are only compatible with Retribution and should continue to work once the full game comes out, they're not compatible in any way with DoW II and CR. For further discussion and more information visit my thread here on the Heretek Cabal forums: http://forums.relicnews.com/showthre...tible-Mods!%29

Note: Official thread is a bit of a mess since most of my pictures are down, ask any question there and i'll answer though since i wont answer big questions here as dictated by the rules of the section:

Questions about modding or specific questions about the development of a mod should still be directed to the Heretek Cabal.

With all that out of the way, enjoy

Portrait Note:

Existor has been kind enough to make portraits that are also ranked compatible for this stuff, you can find his thread here:

[Croaxleigh]

The "Magpies" hat puts me in mind of what they should have offered as a pre-order bonus for Steam... a TF2 hat for the Heavy.

[Shuma]

@Croax:

Heh, Surely you mean Hat Fortress, if anything they should've given us Bludflagg's helmet in Team Fortress

-Added Diomede's Helmet

[saibot]

I am pretty sure Relic and Valve even contemplated this, but GW probably blocked it.

[Akagi_Ryu]

Shuma, yer bloody awesome, ya know that?

[Torment]

Very nice. Do you happen to have something for Eldar as well?

[ph03nIXx]

though IG got good stuff... shuma, we really NEED the CR Stormtroopers!!!! ;-)

[Tiranot]

Shuma, you the man! I was just thinking that Diomedes so so fugly, i wish i could get his helmet back...

[Steel*Faith]

Highly anticipating the Death Korps of Krieg pack Shuma!

[Akagi_Ryu]

^ Secondededed~

[Zardica]

Hey Shuma, are the guardsmen in the replacement mod wearing their rank 60 armor, if so does it make the IG rank 60 overall, or is it just for the guardsmen?

[Existor]

What about portraits? Can I post in general forums portrait mods too?

[Makenshi]

Yo, Shuma, since you're on a roll here, can I ask a simple change (for you, i believe it simple, hehehe)?

A golden aquila on FC's chest, instead of that tiny uninspiring skull; maybe you could use the one in the Apoth's chest? And while you're on it, a simple cape - it pains me that Chaos Lord has one and FC doesn't ¬¬



Edit: scratch all that! I want this baby in Retribution ASAP, man:



Of course, that's if you will it, and for the record, I'm asking (begging), not demanding/ordering/saying. Just got a bit excited

[Gabriel Gorgutz]

Question for shuma: Can we just replace the retri FC model with the vanilla ice FC model from CR, and use your helmet mods with that? Will the old models work with Retri at all if we add them to the data files and re-pack as an rb2?

[Existor]

Question for shuma: Can we just replace the retri FC model with the vanilla ice FC model from CR, and use your helmet mods with that? Will the old models work with Retri at all if we add them to the data files and re-pack as an rb2?

Strange idea. Helmet = no face. You already can use all CR helmetsin retribution. Just put to Mods folder and play. Why u're asking, if those games are same?



Makenshi
Same for you. You can install CR mod, it will work normally. They haven't changed directory paths to old heroes. If changed, we'll see that.

[Shuma]

@Zardica:

No that's rank 0 armor, their rank unlock gives them the Kasrkin mask, but not the targeter on their helmet.

@Makenshi:

Sure, and all my stuff will be ported to Retribution in fact that armor you linked should still work and it replaces the rank 60 armor of the FC, ie Gabriel's armor. The Cape is something that's on hold too since it requires new animations, right now i have made one that works with the bolter animation of tactical marines and with the sword and gun combo of Assault Marines and the FC, but i still have to make new cape animations for the power fist before giving a permanent cape for the FC.

But all that is on hold until i finish the Death Korps.

Added 2 more files to the OP.

Edit:

@Gabe:

You mean in a mod? Sure. The FC helmets are just broken when it comes to replacing the FC head for MP.

[Existor]

Wow! Portrait for Kasrkins soon! General portrait with cigar and helmet soon, but later.

[Shuma]

Awesome, i added a note in the OP linking to your threads.

[Existor]

Sneak preview of Global ability with Kasrkins. Old and new icon

[Karon]

Excellent, love you Shuma/Existor

[Gabriel Gorgutz]

I really like both portraits. Shuma, would you create the gas mask looking storm troopers and the blue visor-helmed stormies you posted earlier? I'd like to see some different stormtrooper types that we could add to different armies.

----------

@Shuma, so after retri comes out and we can mod it, I could replace FC babyface with the old vanilla ice FC, and all your excellent mods for his helmet and armor will still work, correct? Excellent. Then there really is no need to redo all the helmets, is there?

[Existor]

Replacement for Stormtroopers - Kasrkins. Author - Shuma.
Kasrkin portraits (and included icon for infiltration ability and global ability)

[Shuma]

@Gabe:

You can already do that. And i'm not sure what Stormtroopers you're talking about, both in fluff and in the game there's only 2 kinds, Stormtroopers and Kasrkins.

[Malachi]

Awesome stuff. Do you happen to have a thread like that, listing ranked-compatible mods for CR?

[Existor]

It will be like 128736 pictures and wall of text.

I think, better for different topics, instead one. ANyway, every online compatible mod marked in thread title

[Malachi]

I meant like a list with links to separate threads, but if it's mentioned in thread titles that's fine I guess.

[Tiranot]

Kasrkins!? This is fuggin awesome! Keep up the good work, Shuma!

[Gabriel Gorgutz]

Request - since you've added the CR models for Cadian guard, and you already stated plans to do Krieg, would you mind giving us a few Chaos Traitor guard? Perhaps based on bloodpact or some other crazies? Or DoW2 versions of the cultists from dark crusade? I think a chaos traitor army with arch-heretic squad leaders would look awesome.

[Existor]

CHaos is so bad now? I like current chaos =\

[Torment]

Is there an installation of this type that gives the Farseer and Warp Spider Exarch a helmet? Could you make one perhaps?

[Existor]

Go to original topic, where you can find all mods for CR. Just put their SGA files to Mods folder, it can work, because paths to old files are not changed. So, you can install old helmet mods.

[Gabriel Gorgutz]

Existor, I meant a chaos graphical conversion for IG. Not a remake of the heretic squad. Basically I was hoping for a traitor guard chaos cult with some brutal looking blood pact guys and some insane cultists. I'm interested to see what you and shuma come up with for artwork for a chaos regiment!

[Existor]

You mean Chaos Imperial Guard? Oh, with that we're need to replace... more, than hunderd icons and portraits. And with my crappy DDS editor (in photoshop 64bit there are file-by-file only, I can't open more, than one file at one time).

Yes, sounds cool, but me (and I think, Shuma too) creating those portraits/models for themselves. For me, many other icons are ok. But if you want, I can provide small tutorial about editing portraits, but later.

[Malachi]

I think you shouldn't do that, or Troubleshooter will get infertile from playing them.

[Shuma]

If i ever make Traitor Guard it will be waaay down the line, i have better stuff to do than spiky guardsmen.

@Autarch:

This is all there is for the Eldar:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/7dvkmd...1/BEHelmet.sga

Helmets for the Banshee Exarch.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/f17k3r...6/FEHelmet.sga

Helmets for the Farseer.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/xjxywj.../WSEHelmet.sga

Helmets for the Warp Spyder.

Some pictures:

Spoiler

The ones on top are the new ones obviously.



Ingame screen of the epic rank helmet.



rank 0 helmet for the Farseer.



Farseer rank 60.



The 3 farseer ranks, note that the ninja mask was an old version and doesn't exist anymore the rank 0 now also has a helmet like in the picture above.



WSE and Farseer.



rank 0 WSE is just the WSE with the Warp Spider helmet and the Topknot.



Rank 60 WSE.



Another picture of the Rank 60 WSE.



WSE rare rank helmet.

This files are pretty old so they're kind of messy and ugly, they should still work though. Installations are the same.

Edit:

Actually Trouble said he doesn't use this stuff since people can't see them unless they have it too, so there'd be no risk for his testicles.

[Torment]

Thanks a lot Shuma. I downloaded them and they all look very nice. However, I noticed that the Tyranid folder was empty. Any word on that?

[Existor]

I noticed that the Tyranid folder was empty

What the tyranid folder?

[Shuma]

Yeah i haven't done anything for Tyranids.

[Torment]

Well there was a Tyranid folder, but it was empty. Here it is.

@makenshi/shuma

Maybe I am too blind to find it, but after looking and searching via forum search for half an hour: That baby makenshi linked - rank 60 sm armor replacement - where can I find it (I understood you right that the modell still works for Retri, right?)

@shuma in personal

THANKS for the kasrkins!!!!

[Shuma]

@Phoenix:

That one is team colorable(as in the gold parts are colorable by the 4th color) and this one:

http://www.mediafire.com/?0fq3w8y4hq0c2i8

Isn't.

[Nightwolf]

Shuma- make sure you make traitor ig one day

[Existor]

Maybe redesign for Swarmlord into more original version and more away from Tyrant face?

[Diviator]

Is it possible to change the MP Tyrantguard with the TLS Tyrantguard. The TLS version seems to have a patterns and the other version has none.

[SirIronclad]

Hey there, Shuma and Existor! Really great work you've done so far. Since I heard about your Kasrkin AND future Krieg mods I'm in some kind of dilemma, because I like them all (including Retribution Stormtroopers). I wanted to make four different appearances with the army painter based on Adeptus Mechanicus, Krieg, Cadian and the actual Retribution design.

Is it somehow possible that the models are changing with the different styles? Maybe you could do something (I've got not idea how the modding works with Retribution) like you get these models if you name your Army Style like this (I name it Mechanicus and get the standard models for instant).

There must be some possibility for this. This would advance the style modding to a whole new level.

Thank you so much for these stunning mods!

[Existor]

Shuma replacing original models only, there are no possibly for add something new. Only edit original.

[Makenshi]

Rank 60? Awww... I wanted something for level 0 FC... i'm not good enough for ranked games... not in dow 2 - i kicked my share of ass in dow 1, tho

Maybe that chest aquila is stil possible?

[SirIronclad]

Yes, but maybe you could somehow link different model appearances to different styles from the Army Painter. So there would be different models for one unit but these were only activated when selecting a certain style from the Army Painter.

[Shuma]

@Ironclad:

Unfortunately no, that cannot be done. As far as i know we cannot even add new races unless you replaced some of the existing ones. Only hope for what you want is that if Relic ever implements the ability to choose your rank unlocks in the army painter then i could for example make the rank 60 unlock be the Death Korps and rank 30 be Catachans and rank 0 Cadians, then you could literally choose different skins for your army but again, it's not something we can do now.

@Diviator:

I guess, i though it was a Rank unlock.

Edit:

@Makenshi:

Yeah that's something i'll definitively do.

[SirIronclad]

Well, we had the Army Painter and now we can add custom badges to different army styles. Maybe, if Relic is cooperative, we get custom unit models we can add to different army styles.

And there is really no chance by now to link an army style to custom models?
