The goal of this mod is to bring back the units from the original Homeworld into the Homeworld 2 engine, with high quality texture and polycount detail. The campaign and animatics from the original game will also be included.

Well,The last days have been ... interesting:
On our MOD, we started to study how to develop the Kushan campaign. It was proposed to Moleman to join us once he is studying SP missions for his MOD. So we are all over finishing the Turanic Raiders ships and structures for M1 and M2, recovering speech files, tons and tons of codings and tweakings.
In parallel, we started moving on from SugarSync to SVN/Tortoise as a management system for the project. If we approve, which is most likely, SVN's version numbering system will be adopted. It will also help us sum up better the changes from one release to another.
We've suspended/changed the next release. We haven't stopped working on it. We need to study and establish the research trees, the research ships game-play and behavior. And the Youtube VIDEOS will be displayed at moddb too.
Moleman, welcome aboard, enjoy your stay and we hope to reach Hiigara sooner than we expect ; ]

The nature of this MOD is the graphic enhancement of the ships featured in the original Homeworld game. In this DEMO pack you'll find both Kushan and...
Here's a sneak at what were doing, the old Hw1 ships in full Hw2 graphics, not just putting them ingame, but giving them enhanced textures and 3d details...
This is a skirmish map showcase of the first level. PLEASE NOTE: The current download link is NOT THE RIGHT FILE. ModDB refuses to "find" the replacement...
Still having some questions:
1) In original game you could colour your ships. I mean campaign of course. It is unlikely, but still: would you do it?
2) Still, as all ships are the same will changes be that big? Or it's technically impossible to have 2 campaigns?
3) Special frigates. Just curious: how you'll make them work? Drones, for example. I'm not sure if HW2 allows, or do it?
4) Squadrons or single ships? Crafts. Whatever.
5) Support frigates. They definitely won't work the old way.
So, that was questions. Now... I can help with 2d graphic if you need. I'm not perfect, but still capable. Also can help with badges if you need any.
wow, that's a lot of ideas Raygoza, do you know how to implement them? we could use the help.
but the radar33 is the scripting boss, he will decide all that.
Sorry for all the time it took me to reply, I am no scriptwriter, I do not have any skills in modding nighter how to mod. but I do know that a remake of HW1 wont be complete unless fuel is included as well as other things that make HW unique.
I have an idea if the New races will be replaced by these races then it would be easier because then you could have full use of the sheld bar as a fuel bar and remove the sound of activating or inactivating the shelds, and because there are no HW2 shelds which are used in the mod you will have less problem. Remember that the Bandit Class Interceptor is a space superiority fighter, it has many years of improvement, it should be the ship which can fly longer than any other strikecraft weather you compare to other races strikecraft or Raider Corvettes.
By the way I think Fuel is a good thing to add, this mod would probably be the first one doing it if succeeded. My idea is to use the sheld bar and it would start depleting if the ships start moving and stay when the ships stop, or making each ship to have a maximum flight length and when that is reached they loose between 90-99% of their speed, you decide how much.
There's been other mods to do it.
I'd rather get everything *running* first before adding tweaks like fuel burn.
By the way, will the Bandit be called fighter ingame and only in the description say it's real name?
Because in HW1 it was only called fighter and I think that it fits best because, it is not really about calling it for it's name really, what I think would be best is naming it Fighter ingame and in the description mention that it is a Bandit class Interceptor and some of it's qualities as well as something about them. Because Bandit class Interceptors really have stories behind them
Hmmm... I replied to this comment with a rather extensive comment, but it disappeared...
So in short, yes.
Looked the comments, didn't found such question: will player be able to select side like in original HW, or you will stick to Kushan Exiles? Because I really like Taiidan ships...
We are going to do just the Kushan exiles version. but you will be able to play the taidan in mp.
