If you want to remove the relic limit, make sure you delete the sub child in the middle tree.. Just right click it and you'll see what im talking about.

I am trying to change the appearance of the force commanders to full wargear in skirmish but it is complicated especially if you are unfamiliar with the directory names. Does anyone have any clue to anything.
Help highly appreciated.

Well most things you change in Attrib>ebps and sbps. Pick your race you want to modify then find the squad/unit, in your case the commander. Now you'll notice some say sp at the end of their names. Thats for the campaign mode, such as your honor guard and your leet commander.

Heres a real simple way to have him in skirmish: Rename the regular commander to have sp in the name and the leet commander to not have sp in his name.

Say for tau: tau_commander.rgd + tau_commander_advance_sp.rgd

Swap those names in both ebps and sbps.

I am trying to find out how to swap but I am failing miserably. How do you swap names around? There are three commander lines in space marine folder:

space_marine_squad_force_commander.rgd
space_marine_squad_force_commander_advance_sp.rgd
space_marine_squad_sp_force_commander.rgd

which ones do I swap?

Please help.

You edit the names by extracting those above, then renaming them in windows explorer.

As for what one you change, trial and error. Tau is obvious since theres only two, not three.

If i had to guess, id say space_marine_squad_force_commander_advance_sp.rgd, since it looks like tau's structure.

whats the difference between ebps and sbps anyway?

Well they both have their special fields. Mainly ebps is for an individual unit and sbps is for the entire squad.

Ebps you can edit cost, time, volume, health, sight, speed, mass, and some unit limits.

Sbps you can edit # of units, reinforcement, morale, pop caps for infantry and vehicles, and unit limits(mainly here).

Theres a whole lot more then what i listed tho.

I have downloaded a mini mod which makes the commanders displayed in full wargear. I had to extract it to DXP2/Data/attrib/ebps.... Now 2 out of 7 commanders are missing one/two part each:Warboss is missing the Skull Rails on the back and the Eldar commander is missing the Double pistol and the Aura around her. What is the best way to change this if I can modify these mod files at all, they are rgd as well.

I hope I am not too annoying.
