Homeworld Commanders, HW2 race.

Homeworld Commanders V.01 Prealpha.
Very simple right now, only a few Hig ships. But eventaully this race will be able to build ships from both sides, as well as alien ships and also some ships from previous homeworld games.

As much as I know I'm going to be flamed for this, it would make multi interesting if each side was totally equal. So I'm making it so if both people play the Commanders, not only will you not miss out on anything in the game, but you will also be totally equal. (Anyone remember TA? It was fun trading con-kbots at the beginning).
Anywho within the week I will release the mod again with hopefully build icons, and the rest of the hiigaran race, as well as some of my own ships as I finally got the obj importer working :-D

[airguitargiles]

screens please and sounds like it would be a good mod when completed.

You should have probably waited until you had some new stuff added to your race before you posted this......but its cool that you made it a new race. Maybe people can use this to make their own race by seeing what you did. Sounds like it will be interesting once you add new stuff to it though.

[malcom2073]

Yeah, and kudos to your "batch" file jpaugh, it allowed me to figure out how the whole big file thing worked :P.

I may or may not be adding new units before I actually finish putting all the existing units into it. First Hig, then Vaygr, then Alien (Bentusi, Prog. etc). Besides, I hadnt seen many real "races" that were around besides the progenetor. So I did want to release something so people could see how it was done.

Does that Bentus ship do anything in your mod?

[Ranger]

Does your mod currently work in multiplayer? As you may have read in another thread that I started, I have yet been unable to get my new race (modified Hiigarans, basically) to work in multiplayer. I just get out of sync errors.

[malcom2073]

Dont know, I dont have more than one computer in my house capable of running HW2 so I cant test it over lan :P.

And yes, the Bentusi ship will be scaled down, and become a mobile station. Basically a multiple turreted gun platform.

That Progenitor race works in Multiplayer. I sent the files to a friend and we ran it using Direct Connect.

Thanks for the replies.

Hmm, I'll have to see if I can test this later--if I remember. ;) The Progenitor race works in MP, huh? Hmm, I'll have to take a look at that to see if I'm missing something in my own mod.

Updated to Version .1 (alpha).
Changes:
Now the Commanders can build all Hig. and Vagr. tech.

Problem is my website went down, so the file is up, just not accessable right now. If anyone can offer a mirror, it'd be greatly appriciated while I go murder my host :P

I also shrunk the file size, as I decided not to use custom ship files for all the regular hig and vaygr units as there is no reason unless I decide to rebalance them.

[varis]

Seems the file is missing.

desired other ships: (farscape) moya, talon, (star trek) miranda2 galaxy, b'rel(aka bird of pray), vorcia, k'tinga,neg'var, D'ridex(aka warbird)
