Chroniclez88 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hey I just got this mod and I have all the BIG files. I changed the target line to what it says in the site and I used the ". Still it says invalid. It also says you have to change the installation location. How do you do this? I just wanna get the mod to work so I can play normally without all these errors. I got and change the target line still I get invalid I even used the " and it was exactly the same as posted in the site. Though the instructions say you have to change the "install directory" how do you do this? Was really looking foward to playing this, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

SWR Staff - Executive EvilleJedi Posted April 12, 2008 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted April 12, 2008 you seem to be missing slashes in the path, copy paste the path out of th eplorer bar after navigating to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chroniclez88 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Well I just copied and pasted what it says on the main page and I had slashes.........it still says invalid path, what is wrong? you say copy and paste the path out of the eplorer bar after navigating to it. Im using mozzila, do you mean just paste it to the URL bar then do it in Homeworld 2 start path? How would that make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive EvilleJedi Posted April 12, 2008 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted April 12, 2008 C:\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe -mod PLANETPACK.Big,SWSOUND.Big,SWMUSIC.Big,GENHODS.Big,SHIPHODS.Big,CORE.Big,OLDSHIPS.Big -overrideBigFile -luatrace -hardwareCursor did you make sure your path is correct (that it isn't in C:\program files\sierra\) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chroniclez88 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I had that path but where I put the mod files was in a folder designated C:\program files\sierra\) but when I was gonna run it I copy and pasted what you put and it did not work... Is it because Im putting the files in C:\program files\sierra\)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive EvilleJedi Posted June 5, 2008 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted June 5, 2008 also make sure you put quotes around it "c:\\homeworld2\data\" - mod etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kah Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 For some reason this here -mod Planetpack.Big,SWSOUND.Big,SWMUSIC.Big,GENHODS.Big,PLATHODS.Big,IMPHODS.Big,REBHODS.Big,PIRHODS.Big,CORE.Big -luatrace -hardwareCursor won't fit in my taret line. Help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive EvilleJedi Posted August 18, 2008 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted August 18, 2008 you probably have a really long install path, personally I installed it to c:\homeworld2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack BeFlippen Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 For some reason this here -mod Planetpack.Big,SWSOUND.Big,SWMUSIC.Big,GENHODS.Big,PLATHODS.Big,IMPHODS.Big,REBHODS.Big,PIRHODS.Big,CORE.Big -luatrace -hardwareCursor won't fit in my taret line. yeah paste it one line at a time into it. but i still have some major miss-understanding here...i have read everything and still i am having the same problem.do i have to do something to the .Big files other than just putting them in the data folder?do you need to change the "start in:" line under the "target"? "C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Data"-mod Planetpack.Big,SWSOUND.Big,SWMUSIC.Big,GENHODS.Big,PLATHODS.Big,IMPHODS.Big,REBHODS.Big,PIRHODS.Big,CORE.Big -luatrace -hardwareCursor i have gotten so confused from reading all the posts on how to fix this issue so i am pasting my path here...there isnt a good answer to where to put the ( " )'s that i can find. i think my problem maybe resting right here in my target line ( \Data"-mod ) but i have tried so many variations... will someone take a little pity on me?

I've tried just about everything, I have all of the BIG files in the right places, using the quotation marks but to no avail... Help please... I really want to play this mod.

SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted February 2, 2009 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted February 2, 2009 What have you used? Mine isc:\Games\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe -mod PLANETPACK.Big,SWSOUND.Big,SWMUSIC.Big,GENHODS.Big,SHIPHODS.Big,CORE.Big -luatrace -hardwareCursor Evaders99http://swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Webmasterhttp://swrebellion.com/images/banners/swcicuserbar.png Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.- SW:Rebellion Network - Evaders Squadron Coding -The cake is a lie.

Cheeseinator Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've used the one posted by evillejedi on the 'need help' page. And now I've just tried yours and I still get the error. Now where exactly am I supposed to be putting this target? The HW2 icon correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted February 5, 2009 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted February 5, 2009 I moved the drive letter, but of course, select the proper path whereever you installed Homeworld 2http://www.swrebellion.com/evaders99/warlords_shortcut.jpg Hope that helps Evaders99http://swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Webmasterhttp://swrebellion.com/images/banners/swcicuserbar.png Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.- SW:Rebellion Network - Evaders Squadron Coding -The cake is a lie.

Cheeseinator Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Okay... I think the problem is in where I have everything. I look at yours and I'm seeing: D:\Games\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe -mod... I'm looking at the can't get mod to run page and I'm seeing: “C:\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe” -mod... Now my target path for HW2 says: "C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe" So it seems to me that I have the game installed in a different place so when I copy and paste your target lines into my HW2 icon it won't take it. So I tried just putting the -mod and BIG flies after what is already in there but that didn't work either. I apologize for being an utter noob, but should you have pity on me I really want to play the .60 version, I've been playing .45 for so long now... and what is a drive letter?
