Remembering The past news - Homeworld Archive of mods for Homeworld

Not long ago now, the website Home.wtal.de went down, altough the hosting site itself is still up. And this isnt the first time the site went dark, but it did came back some time later.

Now, i fear that this old site is now gone. Its interesting how this site lasted longer than Jst-Online, that has also changed domain a couple of times and went down a few times.

Home.wtal.de was a site that was, for me, was one of the first Homeworld 1 mods that allowed me to mod and change the files. Back then, the mod was on an older version that was loose files instead of a packed .big file (This version of the mod had its Carrier use Ion Cannons isntead of bullets).

At the time, i always loved The Kadesh for their lovely designed ships, and the concept of the rotating Multibeam Frigate that drills the hull on a ship, and the fact that the Mothership, aka NeedleShip, was more than just a mothership, but a combat ready capital ship that could defend itself, and in some cases, be useful in destroying your enemy's own mothership.

Now, with the site gone, the only place i can see that you can download the mod now, is through my archive, or via the wayback site. Who knows, perhaps it will return again since it done that before, but only time will tell.

As for any mod we havent archived yet, i urge any of you to contact me if you have mods you may have stored somewhere, espeacily for Homeworld Cataclysm. I hope we all can preserve modding history togheter and appriciate the art the modders have done, and the nostalgia they may bring to us.
