Dawn of War II: Get Bonus War GearsIn order to entice folks into buying Dawn of War II at the retail stores and getting them to join the Microsoft Live Marketplace, various sets of different war gears are bundled as bonuses for different retail stores. However, the game comes with all of the war gears, it just doesn't let you unlock them all; you can only unlock one set if you are lucky to buy it from one of the participating retail stores. The good news is that with the develper mode, you can unlock them all! To do so, add the following line to the "rewards" -> "wargear" section of any mission. "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp2_chainsword_improved_0", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp1_bolt_pistol_herald_of_the_coming_doom", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp2_chainsword_blade_of_ulyus", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp1_sniper_rifle_deathtouch_of_the_angel", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_arm_scout_armour_grim_silence", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp1_heavy_bolter_purge_of_victory_bay", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_arm_power_armour_armor_of_the_destroyer", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp1_bolter_unforgiving_truth", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_arm_power_armour_armor_of_vandea", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp2_powerfist_gauntlet_of_blood", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp1_bolt_pistol_pistol_of_baal", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_arm_power_armour_cuirass_of_azariah", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_com_iron_halo_laurels_of_hadrian", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp1_combat_shotgun_initiates_lesson_of_strength", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp1_missile_launcher_unerring_thunderbolt", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp1_plasma_gun_fearsome_light_of_faith", "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_acc_frag_grenade_packveterans_grenades" At the end of the mission, you'll receive all the war gear. You can "Use SGA Reader 2 to Modify Dawn of War II Campaign" to extract and modify your mission files. But if you have no clue to what I am talking about, just download the attached file, which is the first mission to the campaign, and place it in the "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\dawn of war 2\GameAssets\Data\campaign\space_marines\missions" directory. Chieh Cheng Sweet! Can I make up my own wargear? Erick Cortes Sure, just use the SGA Reader 2 to extract the necessary files, edit them to your whim, and then put them back into the developer DATA directory or back into the SGA file. Chieh Cheng so effectively, you could lokk at the SGA files for all the other missions, and get the wargear from them, just earlier in the game? Sim Clakre How do you edit the .rbf files? It doesn't work in notepad David Smith Actually, you can just look at the entire list of wargear in the gameattrib.sga file. Then pick any wargear to add to the missiong. You can even use the deverloper console to drop any wargear on the ground, as mentioned in this "Dawn of War II Cheat: Having Too Many Unlimited Orbital Bombardment is Not a Good Thing " thread. To edit RBF file, you have to get an utility called "RBFConv". This utility converts a RBF file to text and back. Once it's in text format, you can edit it with Notepad. Then use the utility to convert it back to RBF. Chieh Cheng i cant seem to get this to work i cant get the file out and all but when i save the file and start up the game and finish the first mission alls i get is the chainsword and improved bolter and not the bonus wargear can someone please help me or does ne one have ne suggestions? B.R.F Did you make sure you enabled the developer mode? See the link in the original post. Chieh Cheng yea i have made a copy of my shortcut in the properties made sure it said -dev in it and i still cant get it to work out idk whats going on :( im usually very good at getting these types of things going but this is different ive tried everything and it still doesnt work. B.R.F Make sure you have it in the right directory. Make sure the directory is "GameAssets\Data", and not "GameAssets\Archives\Data". The SGA Reader 2 always defaults to the Archives directory, but that's not where you want the modified files. Chieh Cheng ahh yes i had it in the archives directory!!! B.R.F ok i have it in the right directory now but do i just place the file in there or do i keep the sub directories too? also i placed the subs in there along with it and tried it and it did not work. B.R.F You need the full path. Assuming Dawn of War II is installed in "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\dawn of war 2", the full path to the first mission is "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\dawn of war 2\GameAssets\Data\campaign\space_marines\missions\ss1_sep1.lua". Make sure your full path is correct. That is the most likely problem you are having. Chieh Cheng ok ill will try this out i will let you know how my tests go and thank you for your time!! B.R.F Good luck. If you still can't get it to work, try using the trick presented in the "Dawn of War II Cheat: Having Too Many Unlimited Orbital Bombardment is Not a Good Thing" thread to drop the wargear directly on your screen for pick-up. Chieh Cheng nope im still finding difficulties i still keep getting the default equipment and idk wat else to do its in the right directory could it be that im editing the .lua file with notepad or maybe somethig else? B.R.F Check to see if "-dev" is enabled by pressing the back-quote (`) during your mission. A terminal should pull down over your game. If it does, then you are in developer mode. If not, you've missed a step to enable developer mode. Once you have developer mode working, try the trick I posted two messages above. Chieh Cheng ok it did work i just didnt check my inventory for the items bc it said at the end of the mission that i had not picked them up but when i entered my inventory screen they were there so thank you for your help!! B.R.F Hey, how is this done exactly? I am in dev mod in my game and I downloaded the SGA reader and have opened up the gamedefault.sga and gameattrib.sga files. I only see the missions listed as .lua files in the missions directory within the sga file. I don't have any std campaign\space_marines\missions folder tree under the Data folder on my system, only within the gamedefault.sga file. So I am confused as to how I can add an rbf item from gameatrib.sga to a lua file within the gamedefault.sga? Steve When you double-click the LUA mission file in the SGA Reader, it will prompt you where to extract it. Save it under the "Data" folder with the full path. Chieh Cheng Hey im trying to mod my campaign but i cant find the missions directory through steam. Its missing all its campaign folders or something. Please help. Bob You'll have to use SGA Reader 2. See the link in the original post. Chieh Cheng Ok maybe I am completely inept with computers but i have used SGA Reader 2 and i still can't extract or find my missions folder. Bob I do not seem to have the campaign directory in my "gameassets,data" file. this is a problem as i cannot find the mision files to then edit them! taylor can this work without steam application? josef It should. But I thought DOW II has to be installed with Steam, even if you get the DVD-ROM . . . at least that was the way my version works. Chieh Cheng Hey can you link the names of all war gear in the game. I can't find the mission folder but using the command in "Dawn of War II Cheat: Having Too Many Unlimited Orbital Bombardment is Not a Good Thing" i can make some items. I was just wondering if you could link all items so i could make everything. zac I can not add the "ss1_sep1.lua" file in the "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\dawn of war 2\GameAssets\Data\campaign\space_marines\missions" directory because I am only able to find upto the GameAssets folder, I can't find the "Data\campaign\space_marines\missions" in the GameAssets folder. Chak That's because you haven't used the SGA Reader 2 to extract the files yet. Chieh Cheng what if uh, someone, is using a cracked .exe launcher? sourdough What does that have to do with anything in this thread? Confused It has plenty to do with it because if he is using what I think he is, he is using a loader of some sort to bypass steam (because his copy is torrented/downloaded/your mom's/etc.) I have the same problem myself and cannot start the game in dev mode...I am currently using a trainer right now but that doesn't help in the slightest for getting good gear. Mike I have lot of questions: 1: If i play campaign mission and online game, can I be kicked out because i hacked the game? I dont want to be kicked out for the little modified elements I will modify! 2: Is there a tutorial or a video to explain how can we install SGA reader 2 and what to do after installing it? 3: If I cheat just to have the achievement, is there a way to go back with the normal game after ( deleting all the modified elements)? 4: What is the safest place to download SGA reader 2? I don 5: Please help me!!! Im noob and I just want to beat the campaign with the hardest mode (Primarch) in DOw2 just to have my achievement!!!!!

John YOUR A TOOL, IF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FILE THAT HAS THE LOCATION POSTED SEVERAL TIMES IN THIS THREAD... YOU DEFINITELY HAVE NO BUSINESS MESSING WITH THE SCRIPT CODE. AND SECONDLY, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CHEAT TO HAVE SOMETHING ON YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS? AN ACHIEVEMENT IS SOMETHING YOU WORKED FOR! IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU COOL, IT WON'T STOP THE TEENAGERS FROM PICKING ON YOU AT WORK AT THE MOVIE THEATER WHEN YOU TAKE THEIR TICKETS, PROBABLY JUST GET POPCORN DUMPED ON YOUR HEAD MORE, AND IT SURE AS HECK WON'T STOP THE GIRLS FROM LAUGHING AT YOU, TAKE IT ONE THING AT A TIME BUDDY... GET SOME SELF RESPECT FIRST Major Mojo what if uh, someone, is using a cracked .exe launcher? sourdough What does that have to do with anything in this thread? Confused It has plenty to do with it because if he is using what I think he is, he is using a loader of some sort to bypass steam (because his copy is torrented/downloaded/your mom's/etc.) I have the same problem myself and cannot start the game in dev mode...I am currently using a trainer right now but that doesn't help in the slightest for getting good gear. Mike For those who downloaded game via torrent, etc. and use a loader to start game, all you have to do is download Steam from http://store.steampowered.com/ Its free. When it is installed just make sure you are logged in, dont do anything else and then just click on your DOWII.exe shortcut and your -dev line will work. The Emperor's left Hand Here is how I figured this out. Thanks to Chieh Cheng for his advice. So in steps do the following... 2. Create the folders in your "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\dawn of war 2\GameAssets\Data\campaign\space_marines\missions" directory. Do not make the mistake of putting it into \GameAssets\Archives\Data folder 3. Put the lua file in there 4. Start the program with -dev in developer mode 5. Create a new profile and start again from Mission 1 6. During gameplay in mission 1, go into developer mode by hitting the backslash key (`). Run a command like "FOW_RevealAll" 7. Complete the mission and you should have all the wargears. I could not get the wargear until I made the program execute a developer command, that seemed to switch it on for me. Strange. Viceroy The game crashes on me when I use the "-dev" command. Can someone upload a gamesave for me please? Gillis It's been a while since I messed around with hacks in DOW2. But I believe you won't be able to load up a "developer" game save without using the "-dev" parameter. You are probably better off figuring out why "-dev" crashes the game and resolving it. Chieh Cheng Thanks for the reply Chieh Cheng Gillis Hey thanks for making this if you ever get the time and or get really bored would u mind making a list of all the wargear to save people's time? just a thought Joe Smith which screen do i type it in? Peter Hello, Zac D. Did you download ss1_sep1.lua to place under "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\dawn of war 2\GameAssets\Data\campaign\space_marines\missions"? Chieh Cheng I clicked on the link, but it just led me to a page full of text. I'm not sure if that's what it was supposed to lead me to or not, but I wouldn't know what to do with that. The other problem is that I can't get to the "campaign" part of this file path. I get as far as Data, and then all that's in the folder are two files; "Movies" and "Audio". Also, I'm not sure what the significance of the developer mode is. I'm able to get the command window up when I use Ctrl + `, but I'm unsure as to why that is recquired. In addition to this, I'm not even sure that I'm "extracting" correctly, because all I get from gamedefault.sga is a bunch of unintelligable symbols. When I look at the contents of the SGA 2 reader file I downloaded from your site, there is a bunch of other applications in the file that I don't know how to run (they won't open when I click on them). I know this is a lot of info from somebody who is addmittedly far, far below your skill level, but I'm eager to know what I'm doing wrong and would really appreciate it if you address my questions/concerns point by point. Zac D. 1. You have to right-click on the attachment and choose to save the file. Chieh Cheng It works perfectly. Thank you again for your patience and understanding. Lol, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Is there any way to get achievements in this mode? Or do I pretty much have to choose between either using all of these items or getting achievements? Zac D. Is there a way to move my save with all of the unlocked content into a new folder so that I can play it in normal mode and get achievements? I hate to keep bugging you, but I just want to know if there is a way to use this save to get them, as opposed to having to start a new campaign in normal mode. Zac D. I don't mind helping you at all. I just don't know whether you will get achievements in developer mode. I believe you will, since you haven't made any changes in that area. And you should be able to just remove the developer flag to play the normal game. Chieh Cheng Yes, I just tried playing the game w/out the dev flag, and I do indeed get achievements. Thanks for all of your help, man. I couldn't have done it without you! Zac D. It's possible this script dosen't work whit other language? I try everything but it dosen't work. I have Italian version Mattia Beast Does anyone know if this hack works on "Dawn of War 2 - Game of the Year Edition"? It would be very useful if someone told me if it did. Thanks Anonymous Guy -dev doesn't seem to work well with current version with chaos rising...found an .sga and it works perfectly...problem is it's for the chaos rising campaign...how do i make an .sga from your .lua? XinZu Hi there. The list does work for me but I seem to be at a lost to edit it unfortunately. I do see all the additional wargear when I start a new game but Can someone help me plz, thx in advance! Tex Montreal Ok I have non-steam versio made by Razor. It uses Xlive. I just want to get all gears so i can check em out. How can I do this. With console one could spawm all them if knows how. Also theese mods. Where do you put them in the non-steam versio and how to activate them Borgah Okay, I have a few questions about this. I am attempting to modify the .lua file that you guys made for us, but whenever I try to add additional wargear to the rewards, the game skips the first mission entirely. I didn't change any of the other mission settings, I only copy-pasted this list I've compiled of every wargear according to the codes used in the original .lua. Could this be because of the game's updates? Because of Chaos Rising (No Chaos Rising Items involved in this)? If someone could be so kind as to either upload a working mission 1 that has all the wargear from the original DOW 2 campaign or help me figure out exactly what I'm doing wrong? Including the file as well. I'd like to see if I can't get this to work properly. Before I went and modified the original mission I downloaded off of here, I did get the wargear from it by using the FOW_RevealAll trick someone else discovered, however, when attempting to add additional wargear into the rewards, I cannot get it to work. It completely skips the first mission. I made a list (using a text editor) of every bit of wargear I wanted to have. I then copy-pasted it into the .lua that was generously provided by this site. Bit of help if you guys don't mind. Ryan Hi Ryan, One of your item's missing a comma at the end. Look for "“wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp1_bolter”". It also seems that -dev is broken when Chaos Rising is installed (or maybe just been removed in a patch?). Before, I used to be able to use this method for the items, no problem. But now I can't get the developer console to appear, even with "-dev". So my custom .lua couldn't get loaded either. Kan Ok I figured it out. I'm on Steam, so I need to go to Library -> Games -> Right-click on DOWII or DOWII CR -> Properties -> Set Launch Options -> key in "-dev". BUAH HAHAHAHAHA!! Kan Ok, there seems to be 3 issues: 1. "wargear\\wargear\\campaign\\playable\\race_marine\\sm_wp1_bolter" is missing a comma at the end 2. Your double quotes are wrong. e.g. you used “ instead of " I've uploaded the corrected file. Note that some of the items seem to be corrupted. You can still exchange them for XP. Kan here's a thing: I can only add wargears after mission 1 of the original campaign (including stat bonus rites from chaos rising) but not with any other missions. For example i want to add some more wargears after the Falcon mission on Merridian so I do exactly what you guys describe (adding wargear lines in the .lua file) but nothing given after that, no wargear shows up. Can anyone add wargears from mission 2, 3 and so on? Alex Apparently Relic has decided to unlock them all at this point. I'm playing the Campaign on Patriarch right now, and by the fourth mission I've already found most of these items on the battlefield, with the exception of the more powerful higher-level gear like the gauntlets and missile launcher. I assume it's only a matter of time before I find the those. Something of note is that I have Chaos Rising purchased and installed, but I have no idea if that plays any factor at all. AZ Sorry, double post. Just to clarify, I'm playing the original campaign. Not the expansion campaign. AZ co0l.. Damelius hi there guys, M7mmad3li I've discovered 2 things: you can't edit any lua file other than the first one and if you edit any file except mission 1 in chaos rising, sometimes later you can no longer proceed further since mission one in the original version will appear on Caldaris, still accessible but there'll be error! Alex Which .sga and .lua files, do I need to look in, to see all the available wargear. The random drops and preorder bonus wargear etc.. Is there a list of wargear to add using developer console, I can download. Does this also work for Chaos Rising? Has anyone tried to make Chaos Marine Wargear available for the CR campaign? Be interesting to have your corrupt marines running around in Chaos Marine Wargear. Can this be used to add more wargear to the Last Stand mode? CajunYardDog I commented on the page with the "Use SGA Reader 2 to Modify Dawn of War II Campaign" link, thought I would have better luck on the main page lol. Anyway, I looked back on some comments and noticed the one where Zac D. had some trouble. Chieh Cheng gave 3 steps; "1. You have to right-click on the attachment and choose to save the file. Now I'm at the part where you have to make a folder(s?) in the "C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\dawn of war 2\GameAssets\Data\campaign\space_marines\missions" directory. First of all, like Zac.D, mine only shows Movies/Sound, so if I "create all the directories from data up to missions" does that mean I have to beat the game so it'll make the files on its own or what? Please correct ANYTHING that seems to be wrong there, I'm not that good with computers at all, hopefully you guys will have patience for me. :S John How about Chaos Rising? Can i Import the item from Dawn of War 2?. Thanks :) Whitebeared Jesus, doesnt any1 answer questions around here? |x| Barney I just want to say thank. The information here is very helpful. saja
