I am a 31 year old GUI game designer... Really like what you are doing with this mod. I was expecting this to be rebelion at one point (current rebelion is an utter fail in my opinion)
I understand your frustrations with kids have them on our forums too :P they are like turds that dont flush and go away.
Fairy will problaby add it into the mod when i have sorted the kinks out. The ai now uses research except 1 race (cant figure them out). Most of the AI ships now use RU's to be built (except 1 race).
This is very unstable atm as im getting alot of crashes.
To use mine you have to extract the mod that of which she does not want people to do.
LOL i wish... on my version the AI build the massive ships too. Its a little more balanced as AI uses all ships and can no longer spam. Still cant get them to use resources to build ships. But they do have to do research now and it takes them a long time to do it.
Not been on in a while RL stuff keeping me very busy. I hope this has not changed too much so i can amend my English translation and AI build and research.
You would. Do the defence modes they are fun or test yourself on survival. I dont suggest you use skirmish.
The Factory race is fine as it is, its over priced due to the ships can be very powerful. Using factory you have to be tactical both with research and what turrets build.
yeah working on that but due to the complexity of mod and my personal 'free' time progress is slow. Currently doing a masters in CGI development at Uni. Im guess the 'factory' race will be not playable by the AI as there are too many variables.
Do you have all mods in the same homeworld2 folder?
Personally I have 9 homeworld2 folders with 1 mod in each. 1 hw2 folder is the original I never touch so that I can copy its contents to a new mod folder.
Doing this stops compatability issues like what you are having.
hope that helps.
Just a question does anyone while playing this mod lag a little while in a ai game?
Like i said on the main page
Moddb.com
There is no skirmish ai as yet. Im making cpu .lua files. Cant put the 'old' ai in since there are new additions to the races.
Do the defend modes instead of deathmatch, higara low orbit is the best one. You can complete with all races (i have) tho a struggle sometimes.
If your up for a challenge try the survival. With Factory i lasted till the vgr missile bs's.
Good luck.
I know it has them just not 3 of them for the 3 files :P
Welcome to the servers. Happens alot. I play multiplayer through a proxy, i dont use hw2 own multiplayer as it dont like mods much.
That is what i translated. Everything bar 1 ioncannon frig name in English.
ok here use this: Gamefront.com
Unrar it and just drop it into your Data folder within the homeworld directory you have the mod in.
on the commandline use :
...\Release\Homeworld2.exe" -mod yaoduMOD.big -locale
Tried to put it as a big file but for some reason it would not allow the game to start. I think my compiler is buggy :S
Its not totally polished as im doing other things too.
...\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe" -mod yaoduMOD.big -locale yaoduMODen09 -w 1920 -h 1080
The target command line to use in your shortcut, the -w 1920 -h 1080 is so that hw2 is in wide screen for me.
I'll upload my locale .big file. As all the races work fine for me. I'll polish it up 1st.
Also if you want to make a list of the used ships that would be helpful. That includes the used correct ship folders. Been having problem with the classdef.
Some ships dont exist ingame but are in the mod folder ie vgr_lightcruiser, 1, 2, 3.
I have had the hig and vgr cpuresearch.lua working but not the cpubuild.lua due to the ship classdef.lua.
I dont think she does, as I have already told her i translated the entire Chinese local into an English one but wanted to do it herself it seems.
The Engine.ucs file in the Chinese version is 1222 lines but my translated version is 7914.
The ship.ucs is missing some lines too.
If you want you can test my ai script. when i figure out the classdef bug i have.
Just downloaded, i agree it does crash. Not all of it is translated and a huge chunk of the enging.ucs is missing.
I have not uploaded any fix. Unless you are talking about the .805 fix i make a while ago.
Want me to take a look at that too?
I opened the singleplayer and had a go, that was a bad idea. I see why you blocked it off. :)
There is a reason for that... Its a chinese mod. Fairy has fixed the 0.9 version, not tried it though.
Yay, been given permission to do ai scripting, although it will only be for Hig and vgr atm. As to many ships seems to overload the classdef.lua resulting in a crash. Plus there are alot of unused ship files.
Well there are alot of little typo's that appear when block translating. I went through 5000 lines of text to find a missing "
I have just finished an ai cpuresearch.lua file for higarian and vagyr and it works. It now takes an ai a while to make those big cruisers. But still spamms them when it can.
There is no AI cpuresource.lua, cpubuild.lua or cpuresearch.lua so it means the cpu does not need to gather ru, pay for ships, or do research.
Im guessing this mod is used for multiplayer vs other people.
I play it in full glorious English (all races). Making an ai script now as the mods races build new ships for free and dont need to research to build them. So a cpuresearch and cpubuild is needed. It wont take long done them for a few other mods on here.
May i ask why you use that shortcut commandline? -mod yaoduMOD.big -locale yaoduMODen09 -novideoerrors -hardwarecursor -ssnologo -overrideBigFile
Fairy will not like what you did. As you extracted his/her mod and to apply the 'fix' as you call it. People will also will have to extract it.
If Fairy allow i will share my new big but atm its only mine.
...Release\Homeworld2.exe" -Mod yaoduMODeng.big -w 1920 -h 1080
Well since i had no reply when fairy came on. I went ahead with it for myself, so i can play this uber excellent mod. Whole thing in unpollished English. Only needed to ref the locale folder.
Would still like to open the whole thing to try and make the ai use research and ru's.
So if fairy would permit me i could extract and then repack the locale i made in a new .big and share it.
And its gone, hope its not my fault...
Yep that what i got, a nice crash with the Fei empire as $34020. The pasting of yaoduMODCH.big over the English big just solves the main menu and hig/vgy. Ive asked permission to open the locale folder to make it all english.
Still seems to be the problem of the AI not needing to research or gain ru's though :( would love to crack it open to see why.
