Taii Cruisers Test Mod (expansion of Vanaar-Jet mod)

[Deionarra]

Indead I use WinRAR and had no problems with the archive.

I confess I never realy liked the look of the Qwaar-Jet in HW1, I always prefered the look of the destroyer. :hide:

However both these ships look fantastic and everyone should download them and give them a go.

You've certainly put a lot more effort into these than I have with my Turanic Dreadnaught (and they trear two of them appart just as should be expected).

Seeing these in action in HW2 kind of makes me want to go back a remake my Jaguar light cruiser as well.

Your RAR archive is one of 2 rar files I have problems with!The other rar files I have I don't have a problem with.

i really want a go with this mod but the host website doesn't seem to be working...

[Scotchy]

Seconded.

I know I'm fairly late to this party, but I like Ent-E's sowk on sfm and dev art and would love to play this little mod.

i found this pic in the model showroom.

did you draw that????
If so, could i make it into a ship. it's an awesome design.

[Enterprise-E]

Yeah, it's an old design of mine. I am glad that you think it's awesome. Sure, go ahead, and model it.

[Phatboygeo]

It is one of the best taiidani cruisers ive seen . Norsehound is pretty good to. if this ones old, i would hate to see a new one!!

[ajlsunrise]

Yeah, it's an old design of mine. I am glad that you think it's awesome. Sure, go ahead, and model it.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


P.S.: i've been trying to ask you if we could... but no luck... until now!!!!!

[Phatboygeo]

Yeah, u posted it didn't you!!! its bloody awesome init!!

[Dark_safi]

is there any mod with the taiidani light cruser you made? i've seen the pictures on your devientart page and i'd love to have a go with it...
i love your ships btw

[Blaze]

Is the link dead? or what cant download it.

[doci7]

THIS IS SO AWESOME! I was admiring your impressive work yesterday, scouring the internet for a Requiem War download site, mostly just so I could get these sweet Taiidan ships. Kudos aplenty for generously offering them in spite of the mod being dead!!!

[ajlsunrise]

Is the link dead? or what cant download it.

right click on the link as select "Save Target As..." you also need winRar to extract it. that might be the problem...

EDIT:
Oh. and btw, if anyone is interested in these ships in HW or HWC format, let me know. i am working on converting them right now... (hopefully thats ok...)

[Khar Makaan]

Hi guy's
I' had downloaded this "Taiidani Cruisers Minimod" a long time ago and i alwaous thougt those two monsters were great
But recently i saw that you Ent-E had been able to add them in single player...
How did you do that? And might it be possible to make them part of the construction list? ^^

[Aesaar]

Just add the following into persist2.lua (for mission 2, change number for different mission), located in Homeworld2 -> Bin -> profiles -> profile1 -> campaign -> Ascension

Qwaar-Jet II

    {
      tactic = 0,
      type = "tai_qwaarjetii",
      subsystems = {
      },
      buildjobs = {
      },
      size = 1,
      shiphold = {
      },
      name = "",
      teamColourHandle = 0,
      hotkey = 67108864,
    },

Vanaar-Jet

    {
      tactic = 0,
      type = "tai_vanaarjet",
      subsystems = {
      },
      buildjobs = {
      },
      size = 1,
      shiphold = {
      },
      name = "",
      teamColourHandle = 0,
      hotkey = 67108864,
    },

[Khar Makaan]

Ok thanks, i will have a look at it
During that time i've been through the "Modding tutorial for Newbies" on the Tanis Shipyard general board, and i've managed to add them into the Hiigarans build list... I'm gonna try if that works immediately

EDIT: Aaaaargh fuck, it keeps crashing... :/ Dunno what's wrong

[ford6]

Post your HW2.log please and we'll see whats going on.

[Khar Makaan]

Here it is:

[ford6]

OK, two errors pop out. One of them is the fatal exit that's causing the crash.

LUA 'data:Ship\HGN_MOTHERSHIP\HGN_MOTHERSHIP.madState' -- parameter: `=' expected;
last token read: `<eof>' at line 6 in string ""
MadStateStatic: Error: Could not load (data:Ship\HGN_PROBE\HGN_PROBE.madState) -- FATAL EXIT --

Looks like there's a problem in the hgn_mothership madstate, around line six.

That could be causing the crash, as the reader times out long after the game times out cause the next file to be read to become unload-able. Or there is a missing madstate . . . Which would be the hgn_probe's madestate.

[Khar Makaan]

Hmmmm...
That doesn't really help me... :/
Maybe would it help if i told you how i did to add the ships in the Hiigaran's build list?

EDIT: Ah, forget about it
Modifying build.lua directly in the mod's directories works better than i did originally (before, i dunno why i was locked on the idea to pour thoses directories with overwriting into the directories obtained bay decompression Homeworld2.big -_-')

Anyway, though the game doesn't crash anymore, the Taiidani Cruisers aren't included into Hiiggies build list :/
Dunno how to do to make it work

[ford6]

The instructions Ghostwind gave were to add the ships into the second mission of the campaign. If you want to add them into the build lists, I suggest you read the modding tutorials on the main sub-form. Specifically the "Making the keepers a playable race" tutorial.

[Khar Makaan]

That's what i did at first...
But seems i've missed something when reading it... :/

[ford6]

*Sigh* I should be home from work by 3pm Pacific. I'll copy and past my build tree here for you. I actually put them in as there own race, with the Turanic dreadnought (I've added some anti fighter guns to it) and a couple other ships I was looking at.

If your not getting a cash, you might have used display number that's already in use with some that has a higher display priority, thus hiding the ship.

[Khar Makaan]

Hum...
Now you've said it, i assigned the Vanaar-Jet to the same DisplayPririty number as the Hiig resource collector, so that might explain a part of the problem...
However, the QJ-II was assigned to a number that wasn't taken, and wasn't displayed either... :/

EDIT: To be sure we're on the same wavelenth, my idea was to add VJ and QJII to the Hiiggies build tree

[ford6]

Ok, heres the code from my build file. As I'd said, I'd added them as there own race into my copy of HW2. So, you'll just have to cange the tai_ part to whatever there set at for you. The DisplayPriority #'s should work fine

      {
          Type = Ship, 
          ThingToBuild = "tai_vanaarjet", 
          RequiredResearch = "", 
          RequiredShipSubSystems = "", 
          DisplayPriority = 500, 
          DisplayedName = "Vanaar Jet", 
          Description = "<b>Description:</b> Vanaar Jet Heavy Cruiser",
      },  
      {
          Type = Ship, 
          ThingToBuild = "tai_qwaarjetii", 
          RequiredResearch = "", 
          RequiredShipSubSystems = "", 
          DisplayPriority = 510, 
          DisplayedName = "QwaarJetII", 
          Description = "<b>Description:</b> Qwaar Jet II Heavy Cruiser",
      },

[Khar Makaan]

Hmmm...
There must be someting else to modify, 'cause it still doesn"t work... :/
QJII and VJ still refuse tu appear in the build list ><'

/me thinks this thing's gonne drive him mad :@

To give you an indication, i just decompressed the Cruisers minimod in the Data directory ('till here, nothing complicated), and then, in the 'build and research' directory on 'scripts' i added the 'hiigaran' folder taken from the stock game, and from that i had modified build.lua

[AmDDRed]

Can smone show the picture of this cruiser? O_o Please...

[Nick8212]

Hello, I wanted to ask how you install this mod? I've unzipped the files and put them all into the data folder. However I don't see the Tiidan in the player vs CPU race selection, and whenever I put the cruiser codes into the LUA file for the single player game, the game will not start, it simply crashes closed. Was there a step I missed?

[MatthCoFreak]

Did you put the -overridebigfile command in your shortcut ?

[Nick8212]

Ah, no. That may be the issue then. I'll give it a shot once I have some time.

[Nick8212]

Thank you MatthCoFreak, that did that trick.

[Krnt]

I've used one of this cruisers as part of the Kadeshian Fleet, I think it doesn't look out of place

[Overmind5000]

whoa.

[Delta Sierra]

I stuck the Tai cruisers into the Pirate mod.
Added the text that the Taidaani 'left it laying around'.
And then I sent it after the local shipping.
Capture?
What is this 'capture' you speak of?
A battle line of battleships (2) and cruisers (4) makes the shipping lanes fun.

[Trollolle]

hi scene.........i want to change my Blue LED Mod from its default location on the Controller Board........... to a new location , extend it with wires and place the LED on the right side of the GC close to the grill........not on the Fan side people.my question is , is it safe ?.......or extending with wires is a bad idea and unsafe ?.........any input is cools8n

[skygunner58203]

[23-down]

Is there any working dl link left? Can someone re upload it please?
I would love to test those monsters ingame...

It seems there's no dl link left at all even google didn't helped me here.

[NT78stonewobble]

Ok in a not so small miracle I found the mod in my downloads folder.

It is available here:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/4z1gez

Have fun.

If anyone else needs the mod and the link is down just try to contact me through messenger. I'm a rare guest on these forums these days so use messenger.

PS. I have no idea on how it survived diskcrashes and reinstalls but it did

[23-down]

Thanks for re uploading it... To any site admins download this file and put it on your homeworld fan sites.. This is the only working dl link at the moment.

[LeviathansWrath]
