Hello Aluigi,
eternal thanks again, as you may remember I run the Warhammer Dark Omen fansite
http://www.dark-omen.org and have used your excellent tools for many years. Your latest version of orkdec works perfectly on Win10 for Mark of Chaos & Battle March, so I thought I would post about my setup for Smith and others ->
1) Extract the orkdec files (ork_algo.h, orkdec.c, orkdec.exe) and orkdec_files (orkdec_files_loader.exe, orkdec_files.dll, src) into your MoC directory ->
C:\Program Files (x86)\NAMCO BANDAI Games\Warhammer Mark of Chaos
I use Warhammer.exe 1.72 cracked version for MoC or the Editor.exe (Run as Admin in compatibility Mode) to drag onto orkdec_files_loader.exe (Run as Admin) as usual, to generate a typical file such as 56b5dc9a_orkdec_files.txt that lists all the file paths and can later be used in a command prompt to run orkdec.exe and extract the resources.
2) Open a command prompt and CD\ & CD to navigate into your MoC folder and then type ->
orkdec.exe -d Extract data.ork 521b50fd_orkdec_files.txt
which will create a folder called Extract within your MoC directory (the default folder contains texture images to extract using ddswrapper.exe and other folders will contain music/sound files and other great stuff).
I then rename Extract to Extract_DataOrk and then repeat the whole procedure on Data1.ork
orkdec.exe -d Extract data1.ork 521b50fd_orkdec_files.txt
which will create a new Extract folder containing more resources, such as the high\default folder that contains all the 3d model files, to later convert from .gobj to Direct X files such as dwarflord.gobj
3) Make a copy of your entire NAMCO BANDAI folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\NAMCO BANDAI Games\Warhammer Mark of Chaos
and store it somewhere for later, as I now install the Battle March addon and use cracked version 2.14 of Warhammer.exe for BM and extract the new Data2.ork Data3.ork files by typically running a 6 player Skirmish map against the AI, so I can use all the available armies to create a long list of resources etc. I then rename this entire folder to NAMCO BANDAI GamesBM to allow me to copy my MoC NAMCO BANDAI folder back into C:\Program Files (x86)\ if I ever want to use the Editor.exe again as it sadly doesn't work for Battle March.
Ideally we need someone's game Saves so I can ultimately extract everything and share a full text file list of all resources.
We have just completed all of our Dark Omen mod tools, so we can now create Dark Omen 2 by adding new 3d maps & scenery, 3d portrait heads and new Warhammer armies of sprites (using the 3d models from Total War mods -Call of Warhammer/Rage of Gods/Sundering and auto-rotating them in fragMotion to produce sprites). Everyone welcome!
