*Known Issues:*
- In Ship Test Duel Gamemode the default "Hiigaran" race is grayed out, this is caused because the real default race is "Random" and is not available in this gamemode, so in order to avoid a crash you should select your desired races from the list.

- Also AmberGoldPL noted this:
"I had to re-select the grayed-out races, but also had to select grayed out "Balance" box that at first is grayed and empty, but when I select something from dropdown the duel load and work fine now."
This issue may have been solved in the last updates, but the note is going to be kept here if it is not the case.

- Kushan Drone Frigate, will crash the game after deploying drones in Ship Test Duel Gamemode, this is caused by some dependencies of the the drone script and can't be solved for the moment.

- Campaign support has been halted due to crash at loading with some game profiles, reason still unknown.

Installation Instructions:

There are several way to install this mod, first is the old method:

Extract the HWRPnF.BIG from the RAR file and drop it in your:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\Data" folder.

Make a shortcut to the main .exe of the game:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\Bin\Release\HomeworldRM.exe"
and place it on your desktop for example, then add this at the end of the destination line:

-dlccampaign HW1Campaign.big -campaign HomeworldClassic -moviepath DataHW1Campaign -mod HWRPnF.BIG

It should look like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\Bin\Release\HomeworldRM.exe" -dlccampaign HW1Campaign.big -campaign HomeworldClassic -moviepath DataHW1Campaign -mod HWRPnF.BIG

After all of this is done you can open it from the shortcut.

Another way to install it, is to place all the contents of the RAR file inside the folder that is located here:
"I:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\DataWorkshopMODs\"

This is a folder with about 18 numbers in its name, inside you will find all the other mods you have subscribed, just drop the contents there. If you have subscribed to this mod already, you will need to overwrite the contents.

Using this method will allow you to be able to use the original mod launcher.
