Dawn Of War Demo - Enable Orks in skirmish

ButcherOfNog

1. Download Spooky Relic Archive tool
2. Follow the install instructions for it in the readme, do not overwrite any files in your system32 folder, just put them in there if they ain't already.
3. Run the program and click on the Dawn Of War Icon
4. Open the W40K\W40kData.sga file from your DoW install
5. Select the ork_race.lua file from data/attrib/racebps, then click on the Save icon, then close the program.
6. Using notepad, open the W40k\Data\attrib\racebps\ork_race.lua file.
7. Change the line "GameData["race_details"]["playable"] = false" to "GameData["race_details"]["playable"] = true".
8. Save the file.

In the Dawn of War demo, you can now select the Orks in skirmish games. The models for the other races are not in the demo so you can't enable them. Pity, as theres a guard_race.lua file, looks like the Imperial Guard will be showing up at some point

Last I heard theres an semi official MOD team making an Imperial Guard side for it, I think that Relic are working on either the bugs or Necrons for the official expansion pack, but the semi official mod team will be adding alot of them other cool race's (tau, IG, etc).

Pretty sure its this friday, the 24th. Looking forward to getting it and seeing if I can continue the multiplayer reign of terror of 'Da Ordinj Boyz', 10 wins in a row when the beta closed

And i take it that its very very good? Im interested in Warhammer and i love C+C style games so maybe this is the one for me

Pugsley

This is not a C&C style game, ie: slow paced tank wars, the pace of the game is insane once the fights start up, but if your a fan of Warhammer 40k, definately get it (or at least grab the demo) to see just how beutiful the whoel thign is blended together in the fights, amasing looking, never seen anything like it before.

Dawn of war is out tomorrow, and play.com have it for €29!

Best thing is though it's 10 at the moment in the top 100 of all time PC games on play.com. And it's not even out yet.
There will be no shortage of multipalyer opponents and hopefully relic might try do all the races as add ons, sweet

Tried the above on Chaos and the Elder and I got loads of pink boxes running around killling each other very funny, for a while anyway!
