Now the Hiigarans face a new and bitter enemy, a renegade clan from the eastern fringes of the galaxy, who wield the power of the ancients. Homeworld 2 chronicles the valiant journey of the Mothership and its crew into the oldest regions of the galaxy to confront their new foe and discover the truth behind their exile.

Description

A conversion of all Hw1 backgrounds to Hw2. Click on 'Read Details' for more.


This is an add-on for Homeworld2, made by Infero8 from the FX Mod forum. Inside are all backgrounds used in the Homeworld1 SP Campaign, converted to work with Homeworld2.

Installation:

1. Download the .Zip file
2. Extract all contents to the directory where Homeworld2 is installed (e.g. C:\Homeworld2).
   Do not worry, the folders where the files go to will automatically be created upon extracting them.
   Afterwards you can find all files inside this folder: \Homeworld2\Data\background
3. Open up one of the level files in your \leveldata folder with notepad and scroll down to the bottom.  Find the background line and change it (e.g. line: loadBackground("ez01") where "ez01" is the name of the background you want to use.
