So yeah, figured this place is the better one to put it. Lets get a thread going of scenes from the battlefront. I'll start it.

My fascination with the detail of the models in game. So pretty....

The guard showing off their discipline.

The real meaning behind 'Green Tide'.

Flipping out and going ninja.

Orks, Eldar, Guard, the Avatar and the Colonel running in the background.

The Futility of Chaos.

Even the Orks are in awe of the mighty Baneblade.

One helluva a boom.

One helluva boom from behind the gun.

One helluva a boom from the recieving end.

Now make this thread live! LIVE! LIVE I TELL YOU!!!

Taken on my computer, which will only run the game in low res.

My guardsman is at full attention.

The Orks have elected to receive.

Master Cheif? Wuss.

The Guard demonstrate seemingly physics-defying accuracy. I swear where this hit is kinda impossible.

FOR THE EMPEROR! Either is fine.

How do you import flags like that?

clever pic vanas. How did you change the symbol thingy.

I wish i could find the CD key for my DOW.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2005-10-09 02:14am

It's quite easy. You make the badge you want into a 64x64 .tga file and put it in the Badges folder in the Dawn of War files. For banners, make a 64x96 .tga and put it in the Banners folder.

thanks. now to find that ever elusive DOW CD key

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2005-10-09 02:50am

Did you actually buy a copy? If you did, it's inside the CD case, behind the third CD. If you pirated it, not helping.

LeftWingExtremist · Post by **LeftWingExtremist** » 2005-10-09 04:18am

no I bought it legaly, seriously, I've looked before but cant find it I will look again but later I've got exams now.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » 2005-10-09 05:16am

Yeah, when I bought it I had a hard time finding it too. Open up the case, look behind Disk 3. Odd place to put it, since you have no reason to remove the third disk until after you put in the key, but it's what they did.

If you mean the key for Winter Assault, it's in the manual.

Most of my badges I snuck in from HomeWorld2. I have loads of national flags for HW2, so hey. I only found a UK banner though, which is fine by me.
Sadly, the default Homeworld 2 ones aren't transferrable, so no Angel Moon marines

Showing off my favorite Guard scheme:

And I have discovered that I can up the model detail to medium and turn on the full 3D camera without adversely affecting gameplay! Yay!

Also: Two seriously fucked up moments. First, there was a Thunderhawk just sitting near my Space Marine ally's base doing nothing:

And then it appears that my ally's Hellhounds got their tracks put on sideways through the vehicle chassis. Note: Mine appeared normal.

Alright, I'll bite. How the Hell do you make a .tga file?

Brother-Captain Gaius · Post by **Brother-Captain Gaius** » 2005-10-11 10:09pm

Get IrfanView or a similar program (check the sticky) and just save as .tga format.

Should I break that link? Ah well, done now.
Anywho, that thread gives a good program for editing your own badges and banners and a couple of hints and tips.

My own shots of our three Baneblades. I'm using them because they won't break the thread like Nephtys' will.

Is there anything quite as satisfying as a Basilisk?

Or burning the Xenos?

The Imperial Guard, the grease on the wheels of war.

I love the Pre-Heresy colour schemes and banners available. Here we have some Pre-Heresy World Eaters.

Tasoth · Post by **Tasoth** » 2005-10-15 03:06pm

wait, where do you get the preheresy colors and banners from?

Brother-Captain Gaius · Post by **Brother-Captain Gaius** » 2005-10-15 03:37pm

Too bad you can't get older power armor to go with it.

DocHorror · Post by **DocHorror** » 2005-10-15 06:07pm

You can get them here... check out the other colour schemes as well....

There are mods for it, but it would kill your ability to play online if the people you're playing with don't also use the mod.
