only 6 hours to go!

Trying to play with the three factions from the mod gets me a 'general failure'mid load

All of these are on standard difficulty playing on Terah on wc 3/4 mode
Terran VS Terran has no crash on load
Terran VS Terran has no crash on load
Terran VS Vaygr has no crash on load
Terran VS Kilrathi has a crash at skirmish load
Terran VS Union has a crash at skirmish load
Terran VS Taiidan has a crash at skirmish load

looks good, i didnt even know you could get new icons.

Looks good clearly an AA unit

who will get it? Since the UNSC already has the wolverine is this a rebel vehicle or for a specific leader?

Really loving your mod it looks very unique, love your approach to things and how you're adding new units

I was wondering, your flood builds structures anywhere will you be adding 'builder' units to other factions aswell? unsc ones to build bunkers / turrets covenant ones to build watchtowers and so on?

and what other new units do you have planned?

Will the new units ever be playable in the campaign?

nice as always

how do they work? are they a straight on upgrade to the hog like the Gauss gun or their own unit?

got it to work thank you for the help!

does this work with campaign? like can i build the new units in it

looking in the files of the game theres a bunch of unused units and structures [cut units] for UNSC and Covenant, any chance of someone modding them to be buildable?

the open beta wont download

when i change from 'user' to 'open beta' and click 'update' it says 'no update found' but when i go to start the game the base forces of corruption plays

i've tried running the launcher in compatibility mode and as admin, neither fixes the issue

anyone know how to sort this out?

how do you get it to work on origin version of cnc?

why are all the ships green?

how do i install the mod on the origin ultimate collection?

so is this combining like all of the battlefront mods into one huge super mod?

Looks like people on the DoK website have figured out how to mod in new models and textures and know for sure how to modify unit stats/traits

looks like modding is going to be a decent posibility even without mod tools, yay

i actually got a reply off of a DOK dev bellows the questions and reply. Looks like we will have stationary buildings in the form of defence turrets and that there will not be infantry in the game

Hiya ShaneWallis123! We were also hyped when it turned into a real Homeworld game instead of just a spiritual successor.

I'll try to answer some of your questions, though there will likely be a flood of info soon.

The Command Carrier is your mobile shipyard, and produces everything from light attack vehicles to massive battle cruisers and aircraft.

They have to, otherwise they wouldn't feel heroic!

From the images given to us we know 'Salvagers' can reactivate units, does this mean we will be able to activate some mothballed/damaged units on the battlefield? like an ancient hiigaran or taiidan land cruiser or something

I can confirm that the Salvagers are able to re-active mothballed units; this is an essential part of expanding the size and capabilities of your fleet. However, I can't comment on what units will be available to re-activate.

Can we build buildings like say barracks, dry docks, airfields ect ect or not? I imagine not due to it being completly against homeworld's classic mobile base gameplay but i thought it was worth asking
You're absolutely right that building structures would be inconsistent with Homeworld's mobile gameplay. We've gone out of our way to make a faithful precursor to HW1, and that includes maintaining a highly mobile fleet. There are a few small-scale emplacement (turrets, scanners) that can be placed to help support units during an engagement, but that is the extent of "static structures".

I assume by infantry you mean "people"? There are no "human" units in the game, for a variety of reasons, but mostly because we wanted to focus on large-scale vehicle combat. Even the smallest light vehicles in DoK would be an impressive size in real-life. Human units likely wouldn't fit into the scale and speed of the rest of the units.

That said, there are vehicles that fulfill the infantry role one would expect from army.

Does this game have modules/upgrades/customisation for our units? - Modules and upgrades were one of the many things i enjoyed in Homeworld 2 which was not in Homeworld 1 and mods which allowed further customisation of our ships were always favourites of mine
I don't want to spill the beans, but I can say that there will be a few ways in which Players can modify and upgrade their fleet.

Will we encounter factions we havent seen yet? since all the homeworld games have had 'mini' factions to fight], im not quite asking to be told what they are just weather or not we will
At this point in history, the Kushan are far more segregated into their separate Kiiths than during the construction and launch of the Mothership. The Campaign centers on an expedition by the "Coalition of the Northern Kiithid", which is a collection of many such Kiiths. Thus, many factions previously only mentioned in the Homeworld manual are represented. Not all are involved in actual gameplay, but some are.

Thanks for the reply

The game should be moddable [and 'easilly so' according to some given the games built in the Unity engine]

heres the official Deserts of Kharak 'modding' thread on the black bird interactive forums
Forums.blackbirdinteractive.com

The devs are fairly active and have said they want to help modders alot [the threads got alot of modding lingo im not familiar with but im sure you would have a better grasp of it than me]

apparantly a user made so well educated guesses as to how modding in the game will work, though the game wont have mod tools at launch

heres what one of the devs had to say on the companies stance to modding, seems like they would support yous in making Homefront

"Stoked that this is one of the first questions to come up! We are in support of modders and people experimenting with our game to make it their own. We believe this is better for the community and better for us - full stop. Many of our developers (Myself included) got their starts in mod communities.

We won't be putting up any legal or code based blocks for modding. We will, however, attempt to protect the game if a mod infringes on the integrity of our game. An exhaustive list of what this means is largely impossible due to the nature of modding - but we don't want players sporting map hacks in games where other players don't have the same content - for example.

We can offer more details on this, guidance on how our game is structured and additional engineering insights, as we get closer to release!"

So well be using war era stuff? nice not going to complain there.

I think the main reason the base game doesnt have infantry is the scale of things [one of the smallest combat units being the size of a UNSC elephant probably makes infantry a bit obsolete] but even if yous cant/dont include them your mod will be great none the less.

You's are doing a DoK mod? Nice, kinda sad that you's arent finishing the HWR mod but its understandable [and the mods more than playable anyways, though i would like it if you's reenabled the classic homeworld factions, sure they get stomped on by the halo ones in terms of stats but its pretty fun trying to fight enemies that are so much better than you]

Some questions ----

1. Will you include starships in the Deserts of Kharak version of the mod? Like would we be able to build a frigate and have it give ground support like we see in halo 3/reach?

2. How are you's planning on scaling the mod? are you going to have it be 'scaled' with the vanilla units or not? I think it would be cool if so given it would let us mess around with vanilla factions and halo ones

3. Do you's intend on adding any post war ground vehicles or any cut/fannon ground units?
I imagine halo wars units would basically be a must for this as would some cut units [fox cannons as Indirect UNSC artillery for example]

4. I'm guessing youll include infantry? they arent in the base game but would be very important to a halo mod like this i imagine

5. How will you's do bases and building? from the looks of it base buildings are all mobile land carriers like the classic homeworlds so having 'static' buildings like Halo wars or other conventional RTS's may be hard

Saying this we do see some large buildings which seem to be constructing units in some screenshots but im not sure

6. Will you's leave in dynamic weather/events like the Super sand storms, tornadoes and so on?

Alternatively would you's add more events like these?

7. How many factions are you's planning to add? Just the UNSC and covenant? [id imagine yes for that]

8. Will you's add in wreckages/hulks of Halo ships in this? like crashed frigates/cruisers ect ect, would be pretty cool i'd imagine.

I have :)

ah right, thats pretty cool. I thought there might have installed mine wrong or something

Hey love this mod, though im having trouble finishing the first level/mission of episode one.

Ive destroyed the 2 warships 2 sets of missile trucks, the nuclear sub AND killed every enemy in the area yet the mission wont finish... Ive even got my surviving men into the landed helicopters in the top left hand corner of the map but nothings working, anyone have any idea why this is?

also the icons/highlights on the map showing where the objectives are disappear after a few minutes into the mission, anyone know why?

So weve got a picture of the Valiant heavy cruiser [and official one] will yous be including it?

Dakkadakka.com

Ive been thinking of making mods and models for homeworld and thought id ask a few questions on here.

1) do i need to do anything special to the models or make them in a certain way to make them work in homeworld?
2) is there anyway to port homeworld models into 3ds max to i can use them as a scale for my own ships?

Thats understandable, its best that yous focus on your current mods and balancing would be incredibly difficult.

though would yous be opposed to someone else making such a mod combining SSC, MR and BFC as a sort of fan mod? ofcourse all credit would still go to your team.

Hey, ive been thinking for homeworld remastered, since gearbox have suposedly removed alot of old modding restrictions is that all of the modders/mods for homeworld should make a 'multiverse' or 'super mod' which has all the factions/units from all/most mods
