SWNR help

[obi-wan_kenobi]

I guess you could call me a n00b, and i'm sorry that i'm posting on this forum about a homeworld 1 mod, but for some reason i was unable to register with the SWNR site to post on their forums. I would bet this has something more to do wih my pc than with their servers, but i could be worng. Anyway,

1. I installed SWNR v8 r2 and then installed the v8r2 patch, but my problem is that when i get to mission 4 of the single player missions, and it says that a mothership class thingy is hypering in, the game crashes. I realize that this was supposedly fixed in the patch, but not for me. I know that I installed the patch before i started playing the missions, so i doubt that my saved game files are somehow causing this, and i have tried reistalling the patch several times, and all the times it was successfully installed, but the game keeps crashing. If anyone can help me with this problem, i would really appreciate it becuase I can't progress an further without this iussue being resolved. Thanks.

 

2. My second question is how would one go about modifying the stats of the fighters and starships in the game? The makers of the mod did a good job setting a standard, but i feel that for some parts of the game, ie, tie advanced being nearly as powerful as a capship (?), some tweaking is in order. I know that I am essentially a n00b, but i really appreciate the work on rebellion on this site and the work on homeworld at SWNR. I greatly enjoy playing with the mods provided here and over there, so if any one canhelp me with theses problems/questions, i would really appreciate it.

1) Single player is not supported. This is mainly due to the hard-coded nature of the missions.

 

2) I recommend going to the RelicNews Forums HW1 mod area and look at what they have for editing. Mainly, it requires numerous tools and 3D experience. http://forums.relicnews.com

Hmm, I'm no expert on modding HW1, but I recall, that the .shp files in the r1 and r2 folders are text files and should contain most of the things you need to tweak the stats.

 

Btw, remember to create backups, if anything goes weird.

Hey mask, thanks. You were right, as usual .

Also, i understand that single player is not supported, but i believe that the patch was partially designed to correct this issue in single player. Thus, i was just curious whether it was working for anyone else.

 

btw, i was able to get on the forum over there so maybe i'll ask those guys. (i think i should watch for coffee beans and various levers )

thanks

 

Yup, I saw it has been announced, that they corrected the issue with mission 3, but some people on their forum reported, that it still didn't work. So even with the latest patch, you don't seem to be able to play it in SP.

Maybe you can use a cheat to skip this one, though
