THE HOMEWORLD LEGACY MAP PACK

The goal of this project is to bring the rich collection of fan-made maps from Homeworld 1 to Homeworld 2. So far over 170 maps have been converted, 133 are included as working maps in the current release. Version 2.0 now allows the map pack to be compatible with ANY Homeworld 2 mod.

-- Resource Files have been added to restore HW1 gamestyle
-- Code has been compiled for framerate boost
-- File names have been changed for greater organization
-- Ingame map names should now be accurate
-- 100% of all maps have ingame thumbnail previews
-- New Ingame Camera Scripts - Ingame Camera now functions properly even on the biggest maps.
-- More levels have been added
-- Credits folder added for additional information
-- Added Compatibility for ALL Homeworld 2 mods and map packs
-- Custom resource files no longer affect default levels
MAP ARCHIVE - Browse through the map icons so far created ONLINE.

Credit goes to all the great Homeworld 1 map makers and to PERL programmers: Doorslam, Druelchaos, and joelsdadb and Mac_bug for helping us find the errors.

Removed Levels
Levels with lag, no resources, or reports of crashing may be found in the deathmatch/buggy/ folder. You can add them back to the main deathmatch folder if you wish to play or fix them. The folder they are located in indicates the specific problem with them (IE: "buggy/crashing/").

Update Posted...

[kaskara]

Awesome! Many thanks for putting this together.

/me grabs the map pack.

[Sjeti scientist]

TOTAL YAYNESS!!! *grabs map pack as well*

[Tefeari]

Version 1.0 has been released. Maps now have level icons.

Try the map archives also to browse icons in mass online.

[troff]

Damn this makes me want to reinstall the game...

Does anyone know how these maps are when playing with the AI skirmish?

[Tefeari]

They should work fine with AI. The only things AI has a problem handling are new races or ships.

[Tefeari]

I added a bunch more maps again and updated the map archives (the new maps are at the end/bottom).

[Homdax]

Wowsers, that spider web is awesome...:omg:

Can I host? The lot? Even pics?

Could You write a Map-making tutorial for HW2?

...yes I ask too much...

[Tefeari]

If you have a good server, feel free to mirror them and I'll post the mirror. Heck, if you want make my map archive prettier feel free to do that too

:cranky: This is a map pack for HW2, why would I write a tutorial for hw1?

[Homdax]

Got so many maps and mods and stuff in my head lately.
Please forgive...

For HW2, obviously....

Server is on my sig...thats us, the whole 22 RB boardies that is my staff, more or less.

[Tefeari]

Making maps for Homeworld 2 is pretty easy. Just go to the Homeworld 2 Wiki and download a map editor.

Homeworld 2 Wiki

There arn't really instructions or tutorials needed for any aspect.

[Tefeari]

I've posted the Version 2.0 update which is now compatible with ALL mods and effects no other levels.

In the meantime, I've created a list of levels I will paste below to give a feeling for just how many maps this map pack includes.

[Homdax]

For some reason I had this idea about playing all 180-some maps in the HW1 map pack, some time ago. :blink:

[Tefeari]

I've uploaded version 2.0 of the map pack in BIG and GRM1 formats for easy installation.

[Homdax]

Way to go! Thinking about the customers.

[Void]

[scottismo]

I'll really have to get around to putting this up on Jst-Online at some point. God I'm so lazy these days.

[Homdax]

Upped.

About the map image description, I think im gonna make it as a gallery entry in my CMS.
Any suggestions as to categories, or player numbers should do?

Use your imagination...

What are you talking about?

[Homdax]

Yes, that was a bit unclear...
Your screenies of them maps...that You have on site.
I will add the to a gallery app I have and asked Your opinion.

[Tefeari]

I think it would be best to organize it like I did.

Just dont make them flip through pages of 2 player maps, best to put them all on one sites per catagory.

[decan12]

thnx for the maps Tefeari, but it seems that im having problems playing any of them. On the loading screen before the game even starts it shuts down on me, would u happen to know why? :hmm:

[AGTMADCAT]

Hey guys, I have a question... where can I get ahold of the origional map pack? The one for HW1? I've been looking all over teh intarweb, and all of the sites which say they have it I can't download from (a lot of broken links, fileplanet just doesn't work for me...)

Do any of you have any leads?
Cheers,
-AGT

[scottismo]

My site is meant to have it but for some reason it seems to be down at the moment, which I am hoping is only temporary. Anybody who wants it may PM me with their email address and I will send it until I get something better sorted out...

[trickson]

Thank you for this I have been looking for new maps for aboout a year now finaly found them here !! YEAH!!

[4ries]

Does this mappack work with regular HW2?? I want some custom maps to play with in Player vs Computer...

PS: I dont like mods very much... Though I installed the HHC demo for DoW recently and it works well.

[Ressev]

Site link is to a defunct site. PMing Scottismo

[scottismo]

Hi guys! I didn't do a massive amount of archiving for HW2 but fortunately I did save some map packs for use in my HW2 map archive. To save time, I've uploaded it to my site in the format that Tefeari made it rather than integrating it into my own map pack (to be honest I may have done this at a previous date and forgotten!). Please enjoy!
