Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 - Chaos Rising Message Board  

The wargear mod doesn't work for me. I followed the instructions and completed the first mission, but no new wargear appeared. The only thing in the instructions that confused me was it said to put the -dev line on the dawn of war 2 shortcut, I put it on the chaos rising shortcut, will this have made a difference?

SOLUTION:
1. Download AkamaCheif's WarGear_1.sga from
www.filekeeper.org/download/shared/WarGear_1.sga

2. Extract the "WarGear_1.sga" to "...SteamApps\common\dawn of war 2\GameAssets\Archives"

3. Open your DOW2 Module file located at "...SteamApps\common\dawn of war 2"

4. Add "archive.01 = GameAssets\Archives\WarGear_1.sga" to the "[data:common]" section.

5. Make sure to bumb all lower archives down one (ie: original 0.1 now 0.2, original 0.2 now 0.3, ect)

6. Done

Ok I tried this and nothing worked. this is what is in my module file..

[data:common]
folder.01 = GameAssets\Data
archive.01 = GameAssets\Archives\WarGear_1.sga
archive.02 = GameAssets\Archives\210_data.sga
archive.03 = GameAssets\Archives\200_data.sga
archive.04 = GameAssets\Archives\GameArt_DELTA.sga
archive.05 = GameAssets\Archives\GameArt.sga
archive.06 = GameAssets\Archives\GameArtEnvironment_DELTA.sga
archive.07 = GameAssets\Archives\GameArtEnvironment.sga
archive.08 = GameAssets\Archives\GameArtEnvironmentTextures_DELTA.sga
archive.09 = GameAssets\Archives\GameArtEnvironmentTextures.sga
archive.10 = GameAssets\Archives\GameMaps_DELTA.sga
archive.11 = GameAssets\Archives\GameMaps.sga
archive.12 = GameAssets\Archives\GameDefault_DELTA.sga
archive.13 = GameAssets\Archives\GameDefault.sga

And I did put the WarGear_1.sga file into C:\Program Files (x86)\Warhammer 40000 Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising\GameAssets\Archives directory.

even tried with the -dev command and still nothing.. Anyone can help me plz?

You've started a new game also?

Ok I did this too but my game gives me an error message and does not start

Ok ok ok ok sorry I put in wrong folder.

Question!!!

do I neeed to put the

archive.01 = GameAssets\Archives\WarGear_1.sga

At the start can I not just put

archive.13 = GameAssets\Archives\WarGear_1.sga

At the ene rather than bumping everything

It does not matter

for those who plays other than Steam-version and other methods aren't working: put this .sga file into \GameAssets\Mods and start a new game. tested myself
