Rummaging about my old semi-crashed hardrive I have found a Dustwars mod alpha demo from waaay back. I played it over LAN with my friend and found it quite playable (though Veygr lack capital ships compared to Hiigarans) and remembered people asking about it so I thought why the hell should I not upload it back. HOW-TO-RUN after the jump.
In case you don't know how to run it:
- Extract the archive into your Data folder.
- Make a shortcut to the game and where you have the shortcut target field add -mod Dustwarsv1.big for eg.:
F:\Games\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe -mod Dustwarsv1.big
And no it's not in any way a resurrection of the mod. If I were to do Dustwars now I would probably prefer writing it from scratch rather than modding (no hacks to get terrains and megaliths in game etc.). If this will happen - who knows.
