[theeclownbro]

This is a cake walk, the atmospericness of this game is so intense, kinda reminds me of halo

, a bit

[Aziemut]

ship under attack....ship under attack...

[blackrack2008]

did you release this ?? it's beautiful

[redskins998877]

petroglyph made Empire at wr, land battles sucked balls but the space battles were unfreaking believable!

[shatterist1]

Hey, is this mod adaptable to some of the other mods, namely HW2 Complex?

[VicViperXxXxX]

@shatterist1 no i dont think it is.... when trying to merg the two mods fight over some modles and couse the program to crash.... i am however trying to fix this since i think this would be one sexy baby if thoes to learn to get along

[DristoiradlaC]

i still waitng for homworld 3! ;)

[VicViperXxXxX]

@DristoiradlaC I do believe its in the works, I remember seeing a video about some guy doing interviews on the people "Working" on it and them being avoiding the question

[BucksheeRounds]

@VicViperXxXxX Do you know where that vid is or if it's written down somewhere? I miss HW so bad.

[NintendoGamer1124]

absolutely beautiful work

[NExtstEPIndustries]

Black Prophecy makes this game look like complete shit :p

[VicViperXxXxX]

@NExtstEPIndustries Umm , thats a compleatly Diffrent style of game .... and isnt Black Prophecy a EVE Online rip off?

[NExtstEPIndustries]

@VicViperXxXxX No, THIS game is an EVE ripoff.. eve online is a point and click game.. black prophecy is a first person flying game... 

[ramonsterns]

@NExtstEPIndustries

Black Prophecy essentially uses the same character creation and UI as old school EvE Online, only difference is the way you play the game. If you weren't such a fucking brain dead moron, you'd know and be able to tell the difference between EvE Online being a tactical space shooter and Homeworld 2 being a Real Time Strategy game.

[NExtstEPIndustries]

@ramonsterns And if you were an adult you wouldn't be fighting over the internet, now shut up and go to school kid

[ramonsterns]

@NExtstEPIndustries Maybe you should do some research instead of opening your big yapper and showing everyone how much of an ignorant dipshit you are.

[NExtstEPIndustries]

@ramonsterns Your the one that's raging over a comment dude, check yourself before you start rambling

[ramonsterns]

@NExtstEPIndustries Haha, you're ignorant, you go to reddit, and you can't spell to boot, what makes you think I'd be upset over watching you fumble through your own stupidity? I'm amused if anything.

[NExtstEPIndustries]

@ramonsterns I have not made one spelling error.. i don't go to reddit.. i don't know what even made you think i did considering i have yet to quote one internet meme... and I have stayed calm this entire time, while you have continued to fight it. I never said the GAMEPLAY was better, i said the graphics are better.

[jrhersh80]

@VicViperXxXxX From what I understand Black Prophecy is a space sim MMO but you have more direct control over your ship than in EVE Online. So I wouldn't call it a rip off. Haven't played it though, just did some research. Also there is only one type of flyable ship in Black Prophecy unless they added some, which is kind of weak imho. Homeworld is a great RTS series and any one who tries to discredit it is obviously not very well aquanted with the series.

[NExtstEPIndustries]

@jrhersh80 There are 3 types of Tarpun's for each side..

[gangstakurv]

@VicViperXxXxX it's worst than an eve online rip off... it's only strike craft as far as i know... no big ships!

[NExtstEPIndustries]

@gangstakurv It's got something every other space flight game doesn't.. GOOD pvp

[TheKlungo]

@NExtstEPIndustries Homeworld is one of the most critically acclaimed RTS games ever made, and it has nothing to do with whatever retarded MMORPG you're trying to compare it to. Try knowing what the hell you're talking about before trying to bash something.

[NExtstEPIndustries]

@TheKlungo I'm comparing the fucking graphics people not the god damn gameplay! JESUS CHRIST ARE YOU ALL FUCKING DYSLEXIC!

[ramonsterns]

@NExtstEPIndustries Good job staying calm.

[NExtstEPIndustries]

@ramonsterns Thank you, considering i stayed completely calm the entire time, the capitals were for you since i know your dyslexic and don't understand what I am saying most of the time.

[ramonsterns]

@NExtstEPIndustries You keep using that work, I don't think it means what you think it means.

[NExtstEPIndustries]

@ramonsterns Mmm now see thanks for proving my point, you just used WORK instead of WORD, proving that your dyslexic, which means you have problems reading written words.

[ramonsterns]

@NExtstEPIndustries I'm not going to keep on arguing with you over the single typo I've made this entire time, compared to your orthographic horror show, and it's you're, you uneducated buffoon.

[NExtstEPIndustries]

@ramonsterns I have not made a single spelling error. You on the other hand have misspelled 3 words and made 3 improper sentences.

[TheKlungo]

@NExtstEPIndustries "X game makes this look like shit" is a pretty vague term. Try elaborating next time maybe?

[NExtstEPIndustries]

@TheKlungo The key word, is LOOK

[TheKlungo]

@NExtstEPIndustries I don't know if this is news to you, but the word "look" can be applied to more then just graphics. As in "the gameplay looks like shit." Try using your head next time.

[VicViperXxXxX]

@TheKlungo In homeworld? are you crazy the gameplay in this game cant be beaten

[TheKlungo]

@VicViperXxXxX I love homeworld and I am a huge fan of relic. I was talking in response to another person and I don't think I really need to explain the context of what I said. Just look back a few comments.

[Rebornneo]

@VicViperXxXxX

 ^ what he said, 100%

[lukethedukea380]

@NExtstEPIndustries dude everyone besides kylopso and Relic makes shit space RTS games

[mkz3r0]

@NExtstEPIndustries

Black Prophecy is not a RTS. Or do you compare Crysis with StarCraft2?

[TragicHero1337]

@xXGreekGodZeusXx Im wondering the same thing

[TragicHero1337]

This is amazing, I am having a little trouble however getting it to work proper, sent you a pm hopefully you get it.

*****

[Sagramorbald]

Looks good! Guess I'll reach for my copy of HW2 SOMEWHERE in my dad's house this saturday :)

[Darterius]

I want, I want, I want!! This is great!

[xXGreekGodZeusXx]

You should post a How to for this mod, It would be great appreciated.

[xXGreekGodZeusXx]

@xXGreekGodZeusXx Then where exactly is %HW2_Root%/Data?

[mynameisbustdownsom]

@xXGreekGodZeusXx c:\sierra\homeworld2\data

[VicViperXxXxX]

@mynameisbustdownsom Yes this should be correct sorry for the late replie, i been really busy lately with School.

[megatronelite]

Wow..just wow. The effects are beautiful. Would you be releasing this mod separately when you are done or combine it with some other mod and then release it? Hope you release it separately cause replaying the campaign with this mod would bring tears to my eyes.Thank you for keeping this game alive.

[KIREEKPSO]

I am kinda new to homeworld 2 and i saw your mod, i don't know if there are other texture mods (high res) avaiable but your seems ok for now, can you provide via PM what ships did you make alterations, if there are other similar mods and if you will keep upgrading your mod.

[TheArwingStudios]

where can i get this. i have mac os 10.7.2 and windows 98??

[VicViperXxXxX]

@TheArwingStudios the game or the MOD? i believe you can get Homeworld 2 from GOG.com

[TheArwingStudios]

@VicViperXxXxX is it for mac?

[VicViperXxXxX]

@TheArwingStudios Yes i have seen versions of it for MAC and PC however the MAC version will most likely be harder to find

[TheArwingStudios]

@VicViperXxXxX ok. thats a bummer. i have boot camp. would that work if i tried to install it or just stick to my pc dino?

[VicViperXxXxX]

@TheArwingStudios It may work with "boot camp" But it will for sure run on an older PC the game does not need a huge lot of resources.

Windows compatible sound card

Windows compatible keyboard and mouse.

Recommended:

Pentium 4 1.4GHz or higher.

64 MB or faster GeForce 3 or Radeon 8500 that supports Transform and Lighting.

512 MB RAM or higher

So as you can see not a hell of a lot needed to run this game

[TheArwingStudios]

@VicViperXxXxX yea. I'm getting xp so i guess it should work

[Arcanon792]

I tought this project had died, keep up the good work!!!

[raahkaa]

epic !



[Destraex]

I have been looking for an updated SVN but the thread seemed to be closed in relic forums.

Downloading the latest SVN now!!! Great stuff

[krnt13]

The guys from HW 2.0 made a good job, too bad that they didn't finish the job, but the last time they made a really good improvement to the bump maps of the hiigaran fighters.

[VicViperXxXxX]

@krnt13 Indeed , at the moment im attempting to Merge that mod with Complex i think thats a pretty good merrige, However the 2 mods arnt compatable.. so its a matter of finding where they conflict

[AkeemKN]

Thanks

[Bassmanwcm]

!. How do I know other than looking at it that I installed it correctly and it is functioning? 2. Is there a way I can run this at 1650x1080? Couldn't find this "Sure you have -overrideBigFile attached to your shortcut". Call me a noob but...this looks sweet and would like to start playing it if it looked this good

[VicViperXxXxX]

@Bassmanwcm Yes add this to your

Command Line:

C:\Programs\Sierra\Homeworld2\­homeworld… -h XXXX -v YYYY so in your case Add -h1080 v1650 at the end of your target I recomend makeing a shortcut then editing the terget line from there make sure theres a space at the end

[VicViperXxXxX]

For Thoes that wanted the Update please look in the discription for it has been updated with new information, Thank you

[misterk2]

Its run on Windows 7?!

[VicViperXxXxX]

@misterk2 yes i have ran this one Windows Vista and windows 7 as far as i know it runs on all windoes versions dateing back to Win98

[misterk2]

@VicViperXxXxX There is a Facebook group called "wewanthomeworld3." I think you'd be cool to go in there and post that video and the link to download the mod. The guys would go crazy! :)
