26 \ul Using Pattern Switcher\par
27 \ulnone\par
28 Once the program is running, select a tab for a race, select a pattern for that race and click 'Import'.\par
29 \par
30 If you have several different patterns that you want to run at the same time for one race (e.g. a modified default Space Marine plus a modified Marine Captain with special cloak) then click instead 'Import and Merge'.\par
31 \par
32 If you want to revert back to the original patterns for a race, click 'Remove Imported' with the race's tab selected. Please note that this will remove _all_ .WTP\lang2057 and .RSH\lang1033 files in that race's folder, so be caseful when using \lang2057 SGA extractors \lang1033 to extract and work on your own \lang2057 texture\lang1033 files!\par
33 \par
34 To save the current combination for the selected race, click 'Save loaded patterns' and choose a file name (with or without the extension).\par
35 \par
36 To load a previously saved combination of patterns, click 'File'>'Load Patterns' and select the .dwp file. Note: you must still have the .wtp files in the folders they were in, otherwise the load will fail.\par
37 \par
38 To refresh the list of existing patterns (if you have just downloaded a new \lang2057 texture set\lang1033 and added a new folder) click 'File'>'Refresh List'.\par
39 \par
40 To start a game with the currently installed patter\lang2057 n\lang1033 s, click the \lang2057 appropriate game's button in the 'Launch' area.\lang1033\par
41 \par
42 To edit your configuration (so that you can change game or pattern storage directories) click '\lang2057 Edit\lang1033 '>'Configuration'. Deleting or editing folder mappings without knowing what you're doing can cause the Pattern Switcher to fail to be able to load textures for that race.\par
43 \par
44 \lang2057\ul Hints\ulnone\par
45 \par
46 * If you have Dawn of War and Dark Crusade or Soulstorm installed then use the 'Save As' and 'Load' buttons to load multiple profiles. You can also create specific shortcuts with '--pref /path/to/preferences/file' to load a specific set of preferences. \par
47 \par
48 * Any combination of Dawn of War, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm can share a common patterns path (generally '[game path]\\Patterns' by default) so that you don't have to duplicate patterns to import them in to both games then set the Dawn of War and Dark Crusade pattern paths to the same folder in the Configuration editor. Each game will keep its own list of loaded patterns. \par
49 \par
50 Note: If you do share the path between multiple games, the Pattern Switcher will load the patterns into whichever game folder is specified. It will not stop you loading, for example, Tau/Necron textures into the original Dawn of War.\lang1033\par
51 \par
52 \par
53 \ul Troubleshooting\par
54 \ulnone\par
55 Known errors:\par
56 \par
57 'file already exists' message when saving, even though a file can't be seen - this is a known error, and is a limitation of .Net. The saving dialog only shows .dwp files, but it doesn't stop you adding an extension of another type (e.g. .txt). A .dwp extension is then forcefully added if it doesn't exists, so the 'phantom file' will not be overwritten as the dialog warned.\par
58 \par
59 \lang2057 'The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click OK to termintate the application' - This error only occurs if you do not have the .Net Framework (v1.1) installed on your computer. Please go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/framework1_1/ for instructions on how to download and install the framework.\lang1033\par
60 \par
61 If you have any problems, please email me at dowtools@ibboard.co.uk with as much information as you can about the error and what you were doing, and I will look into it.\par
62 \par
63 Please note that you need a .Net compatable framework to run this application. Later builds may be created that include the required framework code within the build, but it requires a special type of compiler that I do not have access to.\par
64 \par
65 \par
66 \ul Distribution\par
67 \ulnone\par
68 Feel free to use this utility with your Dawn of War installation - thats what it is there for!\par
69 \par
70 Don't redistribute this file in any way - either in part or in whole. Only IBBoard, Hive World Terra (www.hiveworldterra.co.uk) and Skins@HWT (skins.hiveworldterra.co.uk) have that right. The author retains the right to add other sites to the list of allowed hosts, and any new 'official' hosts will be listed on Skins@HWT.\par
71 \par
72 If you feel that the tool is good enough, please feel free to link to the site (not directly to the download) and email me about your link.\par
73 \par
74 \par
75 \ul Legal\par
76 \ulnone\par
77 I don't have a copy of a legal disclaimed available to copy at the moment, but all of the usual applies. In summary (for all those who haven't read a software disclaimer before):\par
78 \par
79 You're using this program of your own free will, it may not do what you expect, it might not work at all, it might break your Dawn of War install and none of it is my fault.\par
80 \par
81 The application shouldn't really break anything (it's too simple) but legal disclaimers are legal disclaimers!\par
