I downloaded the 0.497 patch for warlords, didn't come with any installion

instructions, i simply extracted all of it to the data folder in hw2 directory

when i launched the warlords there wasn't anything new, like nothing happened, just the old stuff, do i need to edit the shortcut?.

The shortcut must have the option "-overrideBigFile" added

Thanks, it worked.

hi, new user here. I too am a huge fan of Star Wars and i liked homeworld 2 as well but am having the same cursed problem as so many others on this thread with the game crashing out during Warlords 0.45. I tried the game countless times in skirmish mode, deleting and reinstalling it, deleting old graphics drivers and replacing them with newer ones etc all countless times. I tried running the mod first with a 1.1 version of homeworld 2 with the disc then with a 1.1 version that was cracked with no appreciable difference. I had two strange things occur however, the first was a skirmish game where i appeared on the map as the empire and began building, but there was no enemy on the map, this only occured once leading me to wonder if it is not the maps but the ai which creates the problem? Also, i have played the mod via LAN against one of my friends who has no problems and the mod worked fine until part way through our second and then third games when it said sync error. He was hosting though so i think it may have worked because all the important data such as maps etc was coming from his pc.

 

Sorry to be adding this but i have read through all the posts and so far been unable to see any solutions.

hi, I've downloaded the Star Wars Warlords mod (0.45) yesterday and i instaled it. My problem is that the game crashs loading the game turning off my monitor and then on again but no game.

 

Can you please help me

Same Problem here!

 

Just installed SW:W and it correctly launches and runs the SP test - AND IT LOOKS AWESOME!

 

But when starting the regular SW:W the game crashes to the Windows desktop during the load screen. This happens when trying to start the campaign or a skirmish with the cpu.

 

I'm thankfull for any suggestion.

the problem i have is near enough the same. i load up the sp short cut and the screen goes blank like the game is going to laod up then it does back to the desktop. when i load up the other short cut it just loads up like the normal short cut would no change. The big file is in the data folder and here are the targets for the shortcuts

 

starwars warlords sp test

 

target - F:\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe -mod warlords0.45.Big -luatrace -campaign warlords -startingLevel m01

 

start in - f:\Homeworld2\Bin\Release

 

warlords

 

target - F:\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe -mod Warlords0.40PR.Big -luatrace

 

start in f:\Homeworld2\Bin\Release

 

 

i really would like it if you could help me

I to am having a problem getting Warlords to run in skirmish mode and when I try the SP test it is very, very slow. The crash happens at the same point as many of the other peoples crashs, the load screen here is my Hw2.log file contents if it helps any.

Please help me people who have more knowlegde about this mod than me, you're my only hope.http://cs.svsu.edu/~artucker/SMF/Smileys/default/icon_yoda.gif

Please make sure you are using the HW 1.1 Patch.

And create a new player profile.

I'm sure your aware, but I tried to start up the latest version of Warlords, and ended up getting sent straight to the retail version screen, and none of the mods were available. It was as if the mod didn't even exist.

Also, I then tried to decompile the .big file to at least try to access the ships themselves, and maybe move them over to an earlier working version so i can bring them into the game and try out the new models, but once i decompiled and extracted all of the archive files, along with the LUA files, all of the files were unreadable, even though the LUA files had been supposedly decompiled.

Any thoughts on this matter?

Are you using the correct shortcut parameters?

-mod Warlords122205.big

i cant get the clone wars version of the mod to work. it gets to the part in the load screen where the bar is full nad it says something about dustclouds but then it goes straight to the main menu. i have gotten the original warlords to work but the clone wars isnt working. please help.

This is for the .50 test. First I wanted to say that I am semi sorry becuase I know that this is an issue that manof you have had to answer especially evaders so thanks. Second what specifically do i need to type to get the mod to run? I found the location by right clicking the short cut and clicking on the middle tab. so what do I type in there (i.e. if someone could just copy paste the entire entry to get the mod to work that woud be a great help). Third, what do I have to do to install the .50 patch? And please explain in the previously stated fashion.

 

Thanks.

Then it means you have a corrupt file and you will need to download it again

tried that 50 times before i posted that post

It has worked just fine for everyone else. Where are you downloading from?

here

 

http://warlords.swrebellion.com/

Specifically which mirror are you using to download from? Are you using a download manager or something else like that?

-mod Warlords122205.big

 

The whole shortcut is dependent on where you installed HW2

i cant get the clone wars version of the mod to work. it gets to the part in the load screen where the bar is full nad it says something about dustclouds but then it goes straight to the main menu. i have gotten the original warlords to work but the clone wars isnt working. please help.

actually i got the reinforcements playing but i cant get construction to work. and how the heck do you destroy the nav bouy in reinforcements?

Not sure what you mean by construction.

Reinforcement mode isn't not meant to win by destroying the nav bouy. It is meant to test ships out.. so set your own goals

for those who cant get warlords 045 working,try to have only rebels or imperials in your parties ,it solved the problem of crashing during the loading for me
