Are you serious? i thought selling it was illegal. Im already halfway done the string file too.   I guess making HW2 mods with the ships of homeworld 2 as well as other ships (ex:Star Wars) is legal then? And i would of thought that it would have been illegal to use star wars ships more than the homeworld ones...i guess not.

And i dont know how to make mesh files either so i guess the HW2 mod idea is down the hole.

Wait what if i make a personal mod for myself with the HW2 ships. Is that legal? and just not upload it.

but im no good at modeling. i dont even know where to start. the only modeling i do is with legos. that im good at. I guess i'll just...wait i dont even know how to unload the .big fils anyway. i downloaded the spookyRAT thing put it doesnt work. Any suggestions?

Ok i guess that answers my question.

And wen i download the mod it takes 30 minutes to complete and wen its done it says the files are corrupt. i read the other forum and didnt it say this one was the good DL? It cant be my computer because i just downloaded distant stars mod before it. i retried yesterday and did the same thing. Any thoughts?

And if you want a high deffinition model of the Kadeshi Needleship i found the last remnant of the Requiem War downloads!

http://www.hwaccess.net/downloads.php?cat_id=5&rowstart=0

Its near the bottom of the page. that page also includes a variety of other HW2 mods.

The install instructions aren't very clear though. What you need to do is extract the zip archive (obviously) and then extract the rar archive that extracts from the zip, rename the rwkadesh.big to RW_Kadeshi.big and put it into the data folder, i changed the shortcut's icon to the one it gives you but that's just me. make a copy of the Homeworld2 shortcut and add words -mod RW_Kadeshi.big at the very end. Not in the --> "" <-- those things. The files extracted also include "RequiemWar Kadesh" it says its a shortcut but i just deleted it.

One question. Did the game designers actually name it the Needleship or is it a name that us HW fans made up?

I believe the fans named it that. I have heard alot of people having trouble with filefront. I am looking for good upload site. Any suggestions?

I have also been having problems with filefront, mostly with uploading taking MANY attempts, but occasionally having to take several attempts to download from them.

harpo

It works!   And for the Needleship from RW Kadeshi mod i think it would be legal to take it. i think the mod is dead. i wouldnt know how to contact any of the RW moders to know for sure. either way. its a cool mod anyway. i want to combine all the HW2 mods together to make a big mod where i can play as every race. Taiidan, Kadeshi, Kushan, The Beast(if possible) and make all the ship icons for them instead of the Unified hiigaran fleet's main flaw. (You know the blurry icon that looks like a debris hulk). And also see if i can make them all for HW2 Complexe. Yes that would be illegal...if i upload it.

I made some spawn frigate abilities for motherships you can build later in the game but I am now having trouble with this error message

Failed to find data file 'DebrisGenericLarge3.mesh'. (SubPath = 〵sh)

I got this with about 8 others at the same time with different variations. They where all about different debris meshes and one was about a kadesh swarmer mesh. I started getting this testing out a fourth race race. I looked in the mesh folder and they were all there. I even turned off show debris in options. Seems like it only happens when I get in battle and about 4, 5, 6, hours into the game. Also sometimes I can restart the game and continue past the point where it happens, but eventually it happens again. This has only started since I have added a fourth race.

Thanks Teal

bookmark for self; looks interesting.

EDIT: also, 2 questions for wraith-

1. are the models in your HW mod from HW1 or did you create them yourself?

2. If you created them, can I use them in any mods I make? (creds to your of course)

Ah. I see. If only I had played HW1, then I would know what is original, what is mods. Oh well, I kind of decided I didn't like the overall look, but a list of what's original HW1 would still be nice (just in case I change my mind, who knows?).

So I've been trying to get this mod work for a while now and it has just been mini-dumping the ever loving hell out of me. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to get it to work? It just dies as soon as I activate it.

I do have entrenchment and the homeworld mod is the only one active, but it still mini-dumps me out as soon as I activate it.

oops already said that, sorry!!
