Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
Were you planning to extract the assorted ship models from the HW/HW:C/HW2 games and render them as SE IV shipsets? I was poking around the various HW mod sites and that seems like a real possibility.
I've got HW/HW:C somewhere, never found the time to get HW2 so I don't know if they used the same pack file technology, etc.

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
I found the disks and installed HW, I'll see if I can confirm that capability as time permits tonight.

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?
Who? The Hiigarans or the Vaygr?
In the case of the Hiigarans, well, they'd probably fight it like Kiith Somtaaw did. In the case of the Vaygr, I honestly have no idea - the Taiidan allied with the Beast in exchange for half the galaxy, because they wanted their power to be restored. Makaan also wants power, but he also wants to acquire Sajuul, and I don't think the Beast would surrender any Hyperspace Cores it acquires when it destroys the Pride of Hiigara or Bentus. In fact, I think Makaan would most likely attack it as well - he wants the entire galaxy, he doesn't want simply to gain a power base in part of it, he wants the whole thing.
