Problem with FC in DC

[istar47]

I was recently going through the forums after downloading Mel Danes' Legion of the Damned Force Commander, and came across this.

There's no problems with DC, whether patched or not. The only potential problems are the odd commander skin, as the new equipment means that some of the old textures are no-longer used but can be re-named to make the DoW version DC compatible.

I was wondering what I would have to rename it to in order to get it to work in DC.

force_commander_tgd_unit_default is what you are supposed to rename it too

Thanks for that, stfas. I thought it involved "tgd" in the filename compared to the original, but I couldn't remember where. I think the SS FC might have a slightly different file name again (Hangar-8 released another hotfix when SS was released and IIRC he had about eight potential textures for the FC!)

[edit] I've just checked and it looks like DC needs "_tgd" and Soulstorm needs the same plus a "2" later on.

Dawn of War used "force_commander_unit_default.wtp".
Dark Crusade introduced "force_commander_tgd_unit_default.wtp" and an additional "force_commander_tgd_war_gear_default.wtp" for the new wargear.
Soulstorm then added "force_commander_tgd_unit2_default.wtp" and a matching "force_commander_tgd_unit2_default.wtp".

There's also a "force_commander_default.wtp" in Dark Crusade and Soulstorm, but I don't know where that's used, and there's a "force_commander_unit_war_gear.wtp" that would imply it is a DoW one (because it doesn't have "tgd" in it) but DoW never used wargear.

And that's why Hangar-8 ended up confused and with so many textures

Sweet, it works now. Thanks for the help guys!

I'll try and get it in to an FAQ at some point. If I take too long, can someone give me a nudge and remind me?
