Hah, I wish. They probably charge an arm and a leg for the license.

May cost less then you think...

They are very protective of their IP though, so I doubt a simple reskin would be enough to make it fit with the 40k lore.

Looking at the 40k games in the last few years... mostly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ turn based garbage, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chess. So yeah GW sells the license to every hobo and their mother.

a prof of concept mod could be done ealisy, if one knows how to change the marine textures and sounds.

I am pretty sure that the graphics are stored as .raw* files in the /atlas folder. but i could not open them, as its not the photo raw as it seems. anybody a clue on how to open those files? :)

They're a custom file format. Nothing fancy - I think that it's just blocks of memory storing RGB pixels, but there's no program that can edit them.

thats quite sad that there is no way to edit it.
I gotta say, those files do look quite blocky in the text editor :)

At least the audio can be changed easily.
My next goal is to use audio from 40k games and see if it feels right :) Will upload a video when im done :)

Aaaaaaaaand half a day later here it is:

Getting the bolters to sound correct is quite hard. matching audio levels is also not easy. But in the end the result is not to bad. :) what do u guys think?

Not bad.

the way gw is throwing out licences like its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ christmass i think it could work if you made a game with space marines/orks/nids

Wow that is good! You even got the sound of the chainswords for the melee!

i could upoad the files and write a short install guide. the only prob some files are from warhammer games. any good permanent filehoster you can recommend?
