A large collection of Homeworld 1, Cataclysm & Homeworld 2 modding software & reference material.
I did not create any of these programs/reference materials, I have just compiled them into one large download to save modders time. The programs herein will allow the end user to mod every version of Homeworld, they are the latest version I have and are accompanied by whatever manuals/readmes/documentation I got when I downloaded them. If there are any program creators that object to this distribution please notify me and I will remove your program. I don't imagine anyone will mind as these are all freely available on the web, just scattered about on many websites, and this download makes them available to the most interested parties. Finally, if there are other utilities that are not in this package or additinal documentation I can provide with any of these programs, please let me know.

(buried)
whats the game about
what the **** is wrong with you i mean not to be hurtful or anything but read the games description
A great archive that should help combat the rampant broken links that plague the HW2 modding community. The included CFHodEd is a bit out of date though
Sweet!!!
Thanks for compiling all this crap!
You might want to separate these things into smaller categorized downloads since there are multiple tools for each aspect of the game in this download.
Other than that, thanks A bunch bro.
why can't i download this??? it doesnt open
I have a problem on vista with the map editor, it opens then immediatly closes!
?????????????
I don't think that program works in Vista.
This makes me so happy. I have been trying to find a .BIG unarchiver/compiler for almost 4 hours now. And I finaly find one that works. All the other ones had problems, even the one by relic. (RDN) I finaly came across the unfbig program, but the link was broken. Then I searched it, and found this. Why I didnt check here first, i dont know. Thanks
Great upload chris80502
The unfBigprogram doesn't work, when creating a .big file it flashes a command prompt and then nothing.
never mind.
the HW2 - Homeworld2 Map Editor 1.2 dosent work for me, it opens and closes in a split second anyone know what the problem is?
may i make a recomendation? im no modder but wouldent it be easer if you made the tools for the homeworld games in indivigule downloads? not everyone owns 1, 2, and caticlism.
OK why is this download not working it comes up with an error taking to long to respond, don't tell me this is another dead download.
far from dead pal.
exported .obj from cfhod 4 cannot be imported properly by milks shape 3d 1.8.x
there is a dead link...
