EDIT: THE CINEMATIC PROBLEM IS SOLVED: the file-formatting of my campaign .lua file was corrupted somehow :/
EDIT2: THE BUILD PROBLEM IS SOLVED: HW2 automatically sets the player's race to 1, regardless of the level .lua files. You can change wich race is nr. 1 by putting that race as 1th on the race.lua file list.
So we ran in two problems that need to be solved before we can continue on the singleplayer-campaign:
1. Build menu lacks a lot of subsystems/ships
The Hiigaran and Vaygr races have been replaced by respectively the Draconian and Human races, each with their new suffixes. All the .lua files (Race, Familylist, build/research, the ship/subsystem files) have been written under these new suffixes, however, some ships/subsystems dont appear to be buildable ingame.
2. Adding cinematics makes the singleplayer mission crash (SOLVED!):
So we have made the intro cinematic for the singleplayer campaign: however: after the cinematic is done playing the mission starts... and ends right away, stating: end of campaign. But if we remove the cinematic from the campaign .lua (Ascension.lua) then the mission works properly.
I have already browsed KarosGraveyard and several forums for these but can't find a solution. So if anyone can help: we love you! haha
Keep y'all posted,

Cool mod by the looks of it!. I hope you guys can work out those problems, I don't know how to fix those. Good luck
on the Module issue try asking around over on the Complex mods' forum, they should have a idea as to whats wrong...
Might even be able to point you towards a fix for the second one as well...
I have to agree with Railgunner2160, try asking some of the more experienced Homeworld 2 modders.
There are a lot of mods for Homeworld 2 and some of them have been in development for a lot of years like Complex, so there are a lot of veterans modders that probably already encountered and solved the problems that you have.
yeah i agree too, however, most mods are multiplayer oriented and thus i already have found some things for the build-menu problem.
The cinematics however is hard to find, but i'll ask around :3
Could always try asking the guys behind the Battlestar mod as well. They seem to have the cinematics working properly in their mod.
Funny thing is: i have just resolved this problem 30 minutes ago XD
thanks for the tip nonetheless! i'm sure i'll run into more problems :P
