“What would happen if we applied Earth 2150 to Homeworld?” -- Slipstream: The Price of Freedom is just that. Or, at least, was supposed to be just that. What started as a multiplayer combat simulator, ended as the first entry into the Slipstream universe.
Possible? Doable? Legal?

Who Knows. Maybe...
Well I know that Star Wars: Fleet Command worked with the Armada 2 demo. Completely different technically but simpler legally. I think it'd be a matter of not adding any of the HW2 content that not in the demo (I.E. ships, maps, etc.). I like the idea though.
Why would it be done at all is my question. What's the advantage of doing it this way?
For people who do not have a homeworld 2 CD, and cannot find one. its rather hard to find one now.
Didn't they remove -mod, and -overide commands on demo .exe?
Looks up Homeworld 2 and e-bay and there u go, And how is there a advantage of doing it that way?
The reason for this is to alow people to play the full mod without owning a copy of HW2
Well this sucks, they have a check sum system in place so i cant just take stuff out and put it in. Scratch that idea.
Hmmm is there a way you can remove it?
Probably not, as this is in the EXE and modifying that will get me sued. lol.
I know it is possible to mod the HW2 demo, but I'm not sure how. Maybe decompile HW2.big, add your stuff, and recomplie it with the same name?
Probably.
that is a good idea which might also get u sued...unless everything u add is of your own design/modded from the demo...take teh HGN_battlecruiser which doesnt exist in the demo, also the ful campaign levels....a long time ago i played a mod (dont remember it now) for teh HW2 Demo that made it possible to play the full campaign and therefore everything, since the mod included all eth ships the demom lacked..aka free copy of full version of HW2 aka Relic will kiel U lol
Well, i can remotely lock-out those elements.
