Some systematic improvement has been made. Please read the installation instructions first.
Homeworld 2 Complex Simple (in BIG form) Installation:
1. Extract ComplexSimple.big into the DATA folder of your Homeworld 2 game folder. For example, D:\Homeworld2\Data
2. Go to Homeworld2\Bin\Release Folder, right click on Homeworld2.exe and create a shortcut. And be sure your Homeworld 2 is already V1.1!
3. Right click the shortcut, and left click Properties, then add " -mod ComplexSimple.big -hardwarecursor" to the end of the existing line in the Target box. For example, D:\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe -mod ComplexSimple.big -hardwarecursor
(Don't forget to click Apply)
4. You can now play this mod via the new shortcut!
And if you have any trouble installing or playing this mod, just tell me, I'll examine the problem and come up with solutions at first time!
Main changes from 1.6:
More stable AI
New starting fleets
New maps
New badges
New music
Vaygr can build a powerful new ship now -- Hammerhead
New weapons. For example, Vaygr mothership can fire Nuke Cannon, and Ark can launch cluster nuclear missiles.
God Mode is available after death, allowing you to peep all the specs of other players.
Experience machanism is ameliorated further, which means, by gaining more experience, ships will be automatically upgraded in the following areas: Manoeuvrability, Health Regen, Docked Ships Repair, Build Speed, Shield Regen, Shield Duration, Visual Range, Anti-Cloak Detection, Hyperspace Cost, Speed, Recovery etc.
Some glitches have been fixed

i cant play it if its in .big format help me please >.<
Why? Are you using Mac OS?

I need to know more details. Can't you launch the game? Please describe everything in detail.
thats just it exactly i followed your instructions and no errors poped up but the game wont open at all instead two files pop up, an error log one and another thats says mini dump. would it be possible to put everything into a .exe file?
If you can play other mods that are in BIG format, then it must be your installation problem, just carefully following the instruction manual again will solve the problem I think. However, if you can't play all the mods that are in BIG format, then there must be something wrong with the game itself. Make sure your Homeworld 2 is already upgraded to 1.1 version, if it already is, I think you should try to re-install the game completely, I believe this will be the final solution in that case.
there wasnt an error it went to load and just stopped thats all
it just goes to load for me then it just goes back to the desktop

****. Me.
Spaceships and Sentry Turrets are blowing up everywhere, the Power Capital Ship crashing into the enemy mothership and blowing up' in an attempt to save my own; All whilst epic music is playing loudly, a soundtrack from Transformers and a game called Ace Combat 6 (Liberation of Gracemaria)...
You sir have just modded Homeworld 2 to its near full potential.
Technically, it's still far from the full potential of the Homeworld 2 platform...But for my hardware, it's already near the full potential I think XD
