Cain - Not the best idea to pm me, i never check me pm box i only got your message cos i was sending one

[Cain]

You don't get a notice email on your adress ?!

[DarthFelth]

well put it this way, i noticed after 4 days then got a email....

[Cain]

[DarthFelth]

well thats how it is so

[CrimsonSamurai]

Hey Eville any idea on the date for the next release?

[IonFizzle]

Eville has finals to do. Things are kinda on pause.

[CrimsonSamurai]

oh. thats cool. Just as long as things aren't permanently halted, i hate to see good mods die out at the start of their potential.

[CrimsonSamurai]

Hey, I landed the mod a small blurb in the June 2004 issue of PC Gamer. On page 6 they have a little mod column. Theres even a picture posted.

 

Hopefully your mod will now get some more support, which it well deserves.

[EvilleJedi]

thanks, though the screenshot could've been better

[CrimsonSamurai]

yeah, not too exciting but it didn't look like they had too much room to work with.

[Evaders99]

Ooo public exposure. Sounds awesome! Now I need to get that PC Gamer... wonder if they put a link in there... Congrats Eville!

[CrimsonSamurai]

There is a link, so the mod should get some nice public exposure. This mod deserves it too. It is really underappreciated.

[DarthFelth]

i doubt it is, i love it

Hi guys, quick question about the main site. It says that v.28 is out, and is downloadable. However, is anyone getting any problems with the link file that launches the mod? ^_^ thanks for any info

[CrimsonSamurai]

You need to update the readme in the .zip file, its from version .20. Haven't tried .28 yet, but it will most certainly be better.

[EB]

I downloaded version 28 and followed the instructions. I decompressed the files, put the .big one on the data directory, then ran the shortcut. It said it couldn't locate the file. It says the drive or network the link refers to is unavailable. Any help?

[EvilleJedi]

make sure the shortcut actually goes to where you have the game installed

 

it should be

shortcut link

\data\

 

target

\bin\release

[EB]

I got it now, very fun. I always kill the rebel scum before I get enough money for my SSD though.

 

Mike

[DarthFelth]

i give up with that, but atleast the rdn exe works

 

*EDIT* any reason why this wont work as a sig?

Question: Will all ships in the game eventually have shields?

 

Because I noticed that my DSD was being attacked by an ISD mk I and was taking some series damage, and considering the DSD is a pretty good match for an ISD mk II and - from RPG stats - has really powerful shields, I was woundering if it will eventually get shielding like most other ships?

 

P.S This mod is great!

Yeah I'd like to know that too also ships like the Tie Defender don't have shields either when they should or a ship like the SSD-Executor doesn't seem to have shields either, maybe their not completely done yet?

I'm new to the forum so first I'll give a quick hello'

 

 

I'm having a heap of trouble getting the 0.29 Test release to work

I know my path names are correct, the .big file is in the right place, but still the mod does not work

Below I have included all of my paths

 

Homeworld 2 directory path

------------------------------------------

C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2 =>bin or data files depending

 

Homeworld 2 Short Cut path information

------------------------------------------

"Target" entry = "C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe" -mod HW2-SW-WARLORDS-BETA-V0.29_TEST.Big -luatrace

"Start In" entry = "c:\program files\sierra\homeworld2\Bin\Release\"

 

 

Warlords 0.29 .big File name

------------------------------------------

"HW2SW_WARLORDS_BETA_V0.29_TEST.Big"

 

 

 

Comparing the .big file name of the 0.29 release, there is no "Dash" between the HW2, and SW for the 0.29 .big file.

where as the older 0.28 release DID have a "Dash in the .big file name see below

 

 

"HW2-SW-WARLORDS-BETA-V0.28_TEST.Big"

"HW2SW_WARLORDS_BETA_V0.29_TEST.Big"

 

 

I've tried matching up the different paths with and without the "Dash" with no results I was able to get 0.28 to work with out much difficulty, but 0.29 just will not work

what am I doing wrong?

BTW I do have version 1.1 of homeworld2 installed

[Krytos]

I had a simular problem when I got 0.29, the exe's have the wrong target.

Replace the -mod HW2-SW-WARLORDS-BETA-V0.29_TEST.Big with -mod HW2SW_WARLORDS_BETA_V0.29_TEST.Big -luatrace.

If this doesn't work, try copying the name of the .big file and pasting that between the -mod and -luatrace part.

This is how I got my version to work, hope it works for you

[Tanker]

yea, shortly after making my previous post I noticed that the .big for the 0.29 use "Under Scores" insted of "Dashes"

 

made the change and got it all to work, the problem was staring me in the fase the whole time

 

This Mod is one of the best I have ever seen for a RTS game it gets more play time then any other game that I have
