This along with the code that allows for mixed spells really adds a lot of possibility to modding Do you know of a way to add new pages to the army book as well by any chance?
Yeah I do not think any new dwarf sprites except the ones i doe2 was released. We made 3 chaos dwarf sprites (chaos dwarf, immortal, and bull centaur) and 3 extra dwarf sprites (thunderer, miner, slayer). The reason we did not make more is the limitations of the number of sprites you can put in.
I could probably help a bit with this. I think that DOE2 uses just about every sprite released by the community except the kroxigor by Lordbrapus, the old Volkmar reskin and the Swamp Warrior by Sipax (If memory serves me right that is)
Here is a part of the document we created while working on DOE2. It has all the slots that work that is known of, and the number of animations that fit for every slot. So 3-3-3 is 3 move, 3 charge, 3 fight. 3-3-5 is 3 move 3 charge 5 fight. In sequence: move, charge, fight, shoot, magic , death (or opposite on the last two)

By using the list you can go into DOE2 and get pretty much any fan made sprite made so far that has been released.
Hehe, it's time you updated your campaign then It's easy and I figured it out myself: Just use any text editor (better if it is a hex editor) and overwrite unused names with required ones. The only thing to watch - the length should be exactly the same for any given unit, so you should pick up units with longer names than you want to insert. Otherwise the .exe file is screwed up.
I never saw that as a big issue so I probably will not do so but feel free to do so if you feel like it
Hi, the unit names displayed for the enemies are always the ones defined in EngRel.exe. Their is a field for the unit name in the army file but this is ignored for the enemy unit names (so you can only rename your own units). Yes the modified files always overwrite original data because all filenames are hardcoded in EngRel.
Yes so my question was about this: I downloaded DOE2, but it didn't contain updated EngRel.exe with the new names instead of old ones. Thus, when I started new compaign, I had all new units on the battle fields but they had original Dark Omen Names. Dwarf musketeers or whatever are cool but I hated them being called 'Grudgebringer Crossbows'
Is there a EngRel.exe with the updated names for DOE2?
No there is not. I did not know that was even possible
If memory serves me right the Chaos Dwarf sprites in DOE is: a. Chaos dwarf infantry that have a blunderbuss firing animation. (The reason why it is combined is to save .sprite slots) b. Immortales that are elite infantry c: Centaurs that are Chaos dwarfs that are half bull half dwarf.
What you want to add is basically not units that fit with Chaos Dwarf lore (Not that that necessarily means it`s wrong) Some examples: 1. Dwarves do not ride anything. Ever. 2. Chaos dwarves do not really use crossbows.
But what chaos dwarves do use is slaves. so goblin sprites can be used.
Some other notes 3. If you want different sprites for infantry I suggest just doing a recolor of the blunderblussiers. 4. You can use the Blunderblussier unit as wizard, that works at least.
Noone else have made any chaos dwarf sprites as far as I know so you will have to make additional stuff yourself or find someone to do it for you.
