Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
What programs would I need to extract the images? If I can do it without having to screenshot EVERY single ship, I'd prefer that.
I'm still going to need to make some custom artwork for troops and the like... Stick figures are always good right?

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
I might be able to do a bit of 3D work if someone can provide me with some artwork, my time is limited though, I got some exams in a few months

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
These links might help for tools and info.

I have not found a valid link for the WinBig binaries. This utility is essential in order to unpack the *.big files that keep all the game data. I do have the VB source code for WinBig and after dinner/after LOST/after a visit to the fitness center tonight ( :-P ), I plan to compile and test it. If I get it working, I'll post a link for you.

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
Good links, I did get WinBig to compile so I'm playing with that. When I get HW2, I'll definately need those other tools.

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
Could you post it someplace, please?
Multi-gun corvets(sp?) with ion-cannons sounds fun right now...

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
Of course! I just needed to test it first.
http://www.fire-on-the-suns.com/WinBig.zip
I grabbed the first ship that I saw and converted it to .X so I could do quick view in my DarkBasic Pro model viewer.
Assuming the link works... one advanced support frigate. :-)

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
Yeah, I'm rather pleased with myself. Not only can people export the models from HW and render them into ship sets. You can in theory export those models and textures to SE V when it is released. [insert real big grin]
I doubt that I'll have the time to actually build the shipsets for SE IV. I'm more of a tools guy this time around. But, I hope this will convince some folks that a HW mod is very easy to achieve. The most creative part will be where it comes to units that are not part of the original game such as ground troops. It will be interesting to see what Akula and others can achieve there.
Of course, if anyone needs to pick my brain on this, go for it. I'll try to do my best to help given the time I have available.

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
Makaan is the Vaygr leader. Sajuuk was worshipped as a god by the Kiiths on Kharak (and the Taiidan named their Ion Cannon Frigate Sajuuk-Cor, "God's Wrath") but turns out to be.....
a starship.
LOL the irony! For four thousand years or more the Exiles - and perhaps others too - worshipped a spaceship! LOL!
edit: Oh, Sajuul was a typo, it was 'sposed to be Sajuuk.
