Homeworld 2 continues the epic struggle of the Hiigarans and their leader Karan S'jet. Many thought their hardships would end when they returned to Hiigara, yet fate has not been so kind to the Exiles. 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.
the goal of this launcher is to simplify the launching of mods and parameters in Homeworld 2 by simply pressing the play button you are ready to go.

Nice - gotta try this when theres time again for some Homeworld-action :)
glad you like it!
Thanks, this is great, very very useful.
Are you going to add more features?? i sugest you add "-datapath" to use with mods that aren't in .big.
Hi, you have that in File > Advanced Settings then choose the -overrideBigFile checkbox to enable :)
i know that, but it's just for the mod in the standard data folder, what i mean is like in my case were i have one wip mod in data/ and other wip mod in dataGC/ for example.
Using "-datapath" we can have multiple mods that aren't in .big .
if you want its possible to define that in custom parameters, just do it like you would with a shortcut
Alright gonna implement this in the next version of launcher :)
Great :)
