Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
Not exactly quashed. The mod-makers can make a HW2-esque mod; they just can't make a HW2-copy mod.

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
It did get off the ground. I've already started on the basic data files and Rudy said he was taking screenshots for the graphic files.
I think we can create a HW Mod without it actually being HW..... Perhaps in the First Time, before, during and immediately after the Great Hiigaran War after which the Hiigarans were exiled to Kharak? It'd be sufficiently different from the games to be legal, yet it'd be HW without a doubt.....

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
Still involves copyrighted material. I think the best you could do would be one based on HW, much like Space Empires is based in part on Starfire? Some boardgame.

What about copyright? I don't think they'll allow us to use their images in another game.

Hmmm, don't shoot the messenger, but here's the result of my quest to get something official ruled on concerning the mod...
Thanks guys for effectively killing off (or at least severely maiming) a potentially great mod for no good reason at all...

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
Mods to make one game look/act like another are common. Using images from other sources is also common. It's also non-commercial. I say, damn the lawyers and full speed ahead.

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
Yea seriously. Who asked anyone to contact the lawyers? I'm sure Atrocities didn't give Paramount a call prior to creating his mod. And thus they still probably have no clue it's available. NOW, the Homeworld Mod is on the radar.
I believe there is a swahili word that fits perfectly in this situation:
Morons.

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
Call the mod Homeplanet and change a few pixels on the ship images and keep working and no one will be the wiser.
Edit: Or don't release it to the "public" and keep going the way you are and then you can share you project with us your private group of friends. See how that works?

Re: Interested in a Homeworld Mod?
That's a great idea. Anyone want to sign up, give Rudy and me a PM with your email adress and we'll send you the finished version once it's..... well, finished.
