Many thought their hardships would end when they returned to Hiigara, yet fate has not been so kind to the Exiles. Now the Hiigarans face a new and bitter enemy, a renegade clan from the eastern fringes of the galaxy, who wield the power of the ancients. Homeworld 2 chronicles the valiant journey of the Mothership and its crew into the oldest regions of the galaxy to confront their new foe and discover the truth behind their exile.

Nice - gotta try this when theres time again for some Homeworld-action :)
glad you like it!
Thanks, this is great, very very useful.
Are you going to add more features?? i sugest you add "-datapath" to use with mods that aren't in .big.
Hi, you have that in File > Advanced Settings then choose the -overrideBigFile checkbox to enable :)
i know that, but it's just for the mod in the standard data folder, what i mean is like in my case were i have one wip mod in data/ and other wip mod in dataGC/ for example.
Using "-datapath" we can have multiple mods that aren't in .big .
if you want its possible to define that in custom parameters, just do it like you would with a shortcut
Alright gonna implement this in the next version of launcher :)
Great :)
