Armaments of War - Redux (AoW-R) <V0.9923>
<Last Updated: 22 Jan 2023>
- Visual Mods Collection for Dawn of War II Retribution and Elite Mod
What does "Armaments of War - Redux" do? :
- This Dawn of War 2 Retribution modification allows you customize the looks of your armies by choosing which rank unlocks, weapons, armour and helmets etc. appear on your army, without having to grind and waste time to earn Army Rank points.
- Additionally, this collection of visual mods have been made to be compatible with both Retribution and Elite Mod (at least as best as possible, as of this time.. its version V2.9.8.4, so subsequent versions may render these mods not working, though I assume this is only in the far future). Refer to the "Naming Convention" file for more info.
- Pictures have been included in these folders, so you can see what they look like!
Note: I and this mod are not currently associated with Elite Mod in any way.
Note II: This mod was not made to be compatible with Eternal, Codex and other mods. However, some of the visual mods will work, but I don't know which. I'm not sure if I will make visual mods for other mods due to how much effort / time it takes.
Change Log:
>> V0.993 (TBC)
- Add more Armour Items for SM (which is a lot.. sigh).. My to do, no promises when..
- Rename the armour items system for better clarity.
>> V0.9923 (22 January 2024)
- Fixed and properly added the old version of Assault Cannon Common that was missing the model, and had incorrect model.
- Added new version of all versions of the Assault Cannon that is team colourable.
- Added new version of Space Marine Venerable Dreadnought that is team colourable (colour 4) for the shiny metalic bits!
- Made a team colourable version for the FC Gabriel Armour (finally figured out how to fix the high poly shiny colour intensity, its to add a little transparency in the tem file).
- Fixed the Terminator Storm Shield (Last Stand Version)'s white spots and changed AlphaTest to false.
- Actually fixed the Chaos Lord daemon sword not being held properly at LV60 for Retribution.

- For SM Sgts, at Army LV60 or max for Retribution and Elite Mod, have added one armour item (Steel of Dorn), so at least the Sgts look more like veterans.

Old ReadMe:
https://web.archive.org/web/20120530020432/http://dow2.info/news/readme.html
Instructions, How to Use:
0. If you have old visual mods, I suggest to remove them. I can't predict what will happen (unless you know what you are doing!!)
1. Navagate to your Retribution folder location (by default it will be C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\dawn of war ii - retribution\GameAssets). Do note your Steam directory location may vary depending on where you installed it.
2. Inside the "GameAssets" folder, create a new folder named "Mods"
3. Then, add your desired wargear (SGA files) into the "Mods" folder.
4. These mods are drop and play mods! Its that easy!
Additional Notes by yellowmonkeySoulEater:
- This mod would affect both Campaign and Multiplayer units (again, depending on the specific visual mods).
- Do note, this is a visual mod, meaning that it only works on your own local game. So, if you want your friend to have the same visuals, they need to have the same mod files in their own game folder.
- Additionally, my previous visual mods (the best of them), will be updated and incorporated into this mod for your use!
