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:

  • GEARBOX appeared and took the HW IP. The funeral is cancelled. Let's see what comes ahead;
  • BLACKBIRD started the pre-sales phase of HARDWARE:SHIPBREAKERS, a great game coming soon;
  • FX-MOD published new material with Taiidani and Turanic ships. It's impressive and promising.

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 ; ]

Question, is there any way to make the HW2 engine treat projectiles and weapons as in hw1? that is, with real ballistic and collisions instead of using a chance based hit system?

The auction will take place in some hours.
A possible destination for HW franchise : 2kgames.com
No source, just speculation.

Hello! I was asking me how have you made higher res textures, do you use a particular scaling method or do you do other things?

Nothing really special, a simple method would be to take the original textures resize them, adjust brighness and contrast, apply a few filters and redraw a few parts (or copy and pasting from other ships like I normally do), but JK normally make new textures almost from scratch, because he makes new UV maps for the new models.
