Gundam Mod v3.0 Formally Released

[Pvt.Parts]

Well i don't want to rush them with it. I was just curious if they had a schedule planned.
Additional MS's (*ahem* Mobile Armours *ahem) would be a welcome sight ^_^V

[Elverdis]

milaoshu04: Ver.2.2 is still using the old english.big,so you can just take Dr4900n's tranclation

NO.
Because v2.2 had modified the technologic tree, some tanslations of v2.2 are a little different from v2.0 and v2.1.

The English.big for v2.2 in Traditional Chinese
Extracted files for v2.2 in Traditional Chinese

Maybe I'll arrange the translation in English by Dr4900n latter.
--------------------------------------------------------
OK. Now I have done the arranging work.

I have changed some item's prerequisites and fixed a little spelling mistake.

This is without a doubt the worse mod i ever downloaded.

Not because of the new units but because of the way its put together.

There is no way to understand how to install this and where in hell is the BIG file with all the mod data :mean: :evil:

Is this crap finished or is it in progress?

If its in progress then fix it with all the correct files or have 2 seperate DL's,one for each language.

If its finished it should be posted in the COMPLETED MODS section with a working link to FileFront or FilePlanet, not a damn link that takes 3 to 27 hours to DL with Cable.

Good thing i'm not the moderator because i would have shutdown this thread until they get their act together

[HailZeon!]

adamstrange, chill... either switch to decaf or start taking your ritalin! LOL J/K

The guys who made this mod are letting us download it without the need of any reiumbursment and the mod team resides in China so their distance is affecting the download signal...

Hm.....
Don't be so angry, or you will hurt your body~~~XDD

Yes. For not Chinese users, this mod is hard to understand how to install it.
There is only a instruction in Simplified Chinese, and it is a .txt file.
Even a Traditional Chinese user also have to use Word or other software to opne it, then read it or thanslate it in to Traditional Chinese. It can't be opened by any not Simplified Chinese OS's Notepad.
I don't know if your system can support Simplified Chinese or not. But granted that it can be opened, you still can't understand it.....

I think there should be at least 3 links to download it.
2 for each English.big file and instruction. (Simplified Chinese and English version)
1 for other files.
The author seems not to want to write a instruction in English...........
But, it is really a hard work to translate all the instructions into English indeed..........................Orz

BTW, because of the AI is still not finished, this mod can't be posted in the COMPLETED MODS section.

[adamstrange]

adamstrange, chill... either switch to decaf or start taking your ritalin!

[Homdax]

Elverdis:
I could organize those 3 downloads, once I have the txt-files in place on monday and have oppurtunity to reorganize it.

[Dr4900n]

I'm working on my translation right now.

Hopefully I can get it to 100% correct for a change.

[Pvt.Parts]

adamstrange
There's a reason why this mod is in

Relic Forums->RDN.. ->Homeworld 2 tanis..->MODS IN PROGRESS-> Gundam mod v2.2 Formally Released

If you bother looking you'll know it's not complete. DUH!

Every one else was able to install it with little or no problems.

And how can you NOT find the BIG file with all the mod data. It is only the BIGGEST *.BIG file in the rar that it comes in.

Moderator's wouldn't close this because it is incomplete or doesn't meet YOUR particular installation requirements. Chill. Don't like it, don't play it.

Dr4900n: I look forward to the "perfect" translation =P

[Elverdis]

HomeBoy:
Maybe you can add another one link for Traditional Chinese? ^^a

Dr4900n:
OK. Then you can post it to replace my arranging version.

[Homdax]

Pvt:
I think Mr. Strange might have missed the part where You rename the *.TZJ-file to *.BIG in order to extract it with WinBig or other tool.
I have, as I said, not tested yet, but I have read from the text-file about the shortcut that it does not seem to require a rename of the file extension. Am I right?

I will be able to make two downloads, one as it is currently, and one with updated/translated text-files. It may, however, not be necessary, since it could be easy enough to make a "ENG" folder and an "CN" folder with relevant content (readme.txt and english.big), and instructions telling people to use what they like, copying relevant files to the mod directory. And more folders for each added language and translated files. Keeping all language-related files inside one folder and one folder only. Sounds like an idea?

[Pvt.Parts]

Homeboy

1) If you want to play the game as is, then renaming the file from Gundam_mod2.2.tzj isn't necessary
2) If you want to make some changes to the mod on your own, then it IS necessary to rename it from Gundam_mod2.2.tzj to Gundam_mod2.2.big

With regards to the mod requiring a file extension in order to run i'm not sure. I've never tried it as I just kept it as is and all is ok. I figure that if the filename used is the same as in the shortcut then it'll work.

That idea sounds good to me. All content is present. Just seperated and in their own proper folder sounds good.

[Xanthor]

how about a threat (not sure about spelling -.-) where we organize player vs player games using the internet?

[death_ab]

ok...

Will dump the AI stuff here...
But first i have to write a readme and try again to get permition to do this. After all this (mostly) isn't my work.

[Homdax]

Will do, Pvt...

[adamstrange]

Pvt.Parts ,first thing,

[1] THERE IS NO BIG FILE IN V2.1.
[2] Thank you HomeBoy for explaining about the TZJ file.
[3] If the text explains about the renaming of the file i would not know,why...because i can't read chinese...DUH :yech:
[4] When i tried to start the BAT file it didn't work.
[5] Before you even post "Why don't you have V2.2 instead of 2.1"?] well i have 2 answers for that.

ANSWER 1-
Link to V2.2:PAGE NOT DISPLAYED

ANSWER 2- I'm not waiting another 3 hours to DL it only to be cutoff.

So i will wait about a month or 2 before i try to DL it again.
By then maybe they would have fixed it and hosted it on a proper site.

If i don't get it...no problem,i have several dozen games and projects to keep me amused :juggle:

[Pvt.Parts]

Adamstrange

[1] I never downloaded v2.1. So i had 2.0 then straight to 2.2. I do what i normally do which was copy the text info of the *.bat file and transfer them over to the shortcut so i can run it from there (ie: instead of making a shortcut to a batch file or navigating to that batch file just to run it). So in doing so, i didn't look at it "close enough" to realize the difference in naming convention. So slight confusion there. My bad.

[2]Yes thanks homeboy for the correction

[3] I wasn't necessarily referring to the readme files. Sources like this forum potentially have answers (but yes a user shouldn't always have to resort to using it but they are here just in case). I assumed you have read all the pages in this thread (which contains the translations to said readme files which explains the renaming.)

[4] I'm not sure what the contents of the *.bat is or where you ran the file. And i'm not sure what has changed in that *.bat file for v2.1 so i can't comment on it.

[5] What makes you think i'd post that? Please don't presume. I'll leave it up to you as to what version you want to get. I'm just saying, out of all the versions i've tried, i have had zero problems. Mind you, as i said in [1], i never downloaded version 2.1 so i may have been lucky and avoided a problem.

homeboy said he/she will be repackaging the mod and placing the langauges in seperate folders (but the same 1 rar file) for easier installation/understanding/whatever. He said once he's finished with that, he'll post it on his site/server and provide a link which would be much faster then the mod creator's.


I dont' mean to sound confrontational but your initial post wasn't exactly the most friendly. People on forums (from my experience) are quite willing to help.

[NeoBear]

hmmmm ... if u guys wanna play over the net can look for mi =P

[Homdax]

ADAM!!
I have cut my download off temporarily due to repack and adding translations.
I have noticed that some 300 attempts have been made to download it since I cut it. Version 2.2 that is...
WOW.
It will be available again on monday, given I got the translations.
I am male, btw. lol
So chill. Nothing is so hot it cant wait a few days. At least not in these forums...IMO.

[adamstrange]

Pvt.Parts.

Sorry if i sounded brash in my response to you,it wasn't personnel and at times i do behave just a bit

I was just upset that everytime i trying to DL it i was or i had to wait so long like a few hours to get it.

I've DL units for the SuddenStrike games from Russia and the most i had to wait because of the server was about 10 minutes.

Anyway,thanks for making that clear to me.

Thanks Homeboy.

Ever thought of making your avatar into a HW2 Badge?

[Viperslayer]

Wow I really have missed alot since I stopped comming to the forums... well I'm glad to be back. Homeboy, tell me when you have a usable link for the mod up, I'm looking to try it out and put it on my site as well.

[Homdax]

Mr Strange: I tend to mess up the Alpha channel stuff. Never learned to make badges...:hide:
But, If You like, feel free to take that, and the ones in my site logo, and do. I would be very grateful.

I am waiting for translations...waiting...waiting...

VS: When I have a link I want to make public again I will send it to You, following the instructions in my recent PM to You.

[adamstrange]

Ok thats great.

I will have it done by tonight.

I'm working on a Badge Pack that will have HW2 and non-HW2 images.

If you can point me to a site [or a few that you know of ] that has really cool icons,images,logos or whatever i will make badges out of them and various versions of each in 2 formats, Solid and SemiTransparent.

[Homdax]

Oh, great!
Thanks...

Sadly I am not able to point You anywhere, but hang on...damn cant find it, I know there is a download link posted recently, last 2 months or so, to a package containing all of the HW1 concept art...but with the search limitations its unfindable for me humble human.

STOP...found it, seem Über posted it first...(Thanks)

I am mirroring it AT ONCE on my server...lol

[Locutus]

Sorry I'm a bit late on checking this thread.

@Adamstrange: If I see one more post like that, you'll be sorry. Constructive criticism and asking for alterations to make it easier to use is okay, insults are not.

This is without a doubt the worse mod i ever downloaded.

[Kou Uraki]

what did he say that was so insulting? what? about dissing the mod from b4 or something? or did he insult a fellow member? what'd he do?

[Pvt.Parts]

adamstrange: I too, am not fond of long downloads. Took me a while to get any version of this mod.

And I'm sure we all respond weirdly at times. We've all had our moments. Just trying to set this straight. No harm done. Just have fun!

[milaoshu04]

I've found the differents,there is some tiny changese there,will be checked in 5 minutesThank you Everdis.most of the discripition is the same to Ver.2.0,just some adjust on the money and time it takes to build or reseaching,I'll give my new tranclation here tommorow

[Dr4900n]

Go in the off hours.

Early in the morning is a good time.

[death_ab]

Ok...

Vere 2.2 has some very minor changes and the whole tzj thing is the creators way of marking the the files as 'his'.

Theres a translated copy of the 2.2 readme a few pages back. This threads only 19 pages long as it... 5 min tops to go over it.

2.2 is also up on other sites... or you could get a DL manager that actually works ratheer then using IE as a direct DL.

[Homdax]

death:
I know, but since I was promised a fresh translation, and that has been confirmed, I am waiting for it.

[Katana69]

Do any of u know any resource cheats for this mod and do trainers work on this mod if so can u tell me how and give me the websites to the trainers please!!!!

But this is a great mod i love it. Exept NO CHEATS lol

Thx for the help

[adamstrange]

Constructive criticism and asking for alterations to make it easier to use is okay, insults are not.

I didn't mean to insult anyone Locutus.

I was just voicing how i felt about how the mod was setup.
If you look back on one of my earlier posts,you will see that i did say that the units in the mod were really cool looking.

But this i will say:

If i have insulted or offended the creators of this mod or anyone else reading my post about it then i truly apologize to those who felt so.

[Homdax]

Its history. Dont dwell in it.
We are OK, all of us.

...or should be...

[yessmasster]

Is there working link for the Gundam Mod?

[Homdax]

OK, against better judgement I am reactivating the download.
I have no updated english.big, nor any updated readme.txt's

Please browse this thread for additional documentation.

I am doing this because I feel sorry for those 298 people who went to my site and could not download it. Or was it just You, yessmasster, hitting the download link until it wore out... ?

[Kampfer_ms18e]

erm... sorry all, but what exactly are the modders working on right at this moment?
Ai?
More units?
Balancing?
tweaks?

thanks all, and keep up the good work, i love this mod
all hail the modders :bow: :bow: :smash:

[Dr4900n]

Not many people were helping with the torrent so I took it down.

I'm moving soon, so I wouldn't be able to keep it up much longer anyways.

[BrianGeneral]

Well,since I'd got my new computer so I'll have to reinstall HW2,but can someone give a link that can download 2.2?
Or,just send it to me by MSN?Thanks

[Homdax]

Brian...my site

[BrianGeneral]

Got it,thanks

[Homdax]

Yeah...just go ahead and give me more bandwidth warnings...

[adamstrange]

I got to setup and play the mod for awhile and i must say that this mod brings in a new look at playing HW2.

First off, is the fact that if all the ships in HW2 were to be resized [double their current size which would be a big job] ,you could have space infantry combat in space.

If Beghins [ creator of the wonderful Complex mods] were to have a hand in this,you would have all sorts of weapons and armor upgrades for the Space Infantry/Gundam robots.

If the PDS team did it,you would have all sorts of eyecandy.

If it were possible to spawn a ship or ships when lets say,a carrier was destroyed,then it would look like survivors that made it out before it was destroyed and these could continue to fight.

In the game ORB you can disable a ship and send in Marine pods to capture it but for fighters you would see a marine come out and capture the ship.

Well you could resize one of the current Gundam robots to the size of the infiltrator pods and replace that pod with the resized Gundam unit so that when the Vayg capture a ship,it would actually look like their Marines are doing it.

You can also do a space version of D.O.W.

The robots could use more animation such as legs and arms moving about as they twist and turn during flight,but i would think that this would take a lot of work for each and every unit.

I haven't unlock every unit but from what i've seen so far,i really could see this mod made into a fullscale game or in the least, a mod in the scale of PDS or Complex.

[Katana69]

wat is wrong with my game i hav no limits on builtding gundams and units that hav a low population caps like the commanders can anyone help me cause it is no fun when i an tempted to build 15 GPO2's and own the whole game. :fright:

[death_ab]

The mod is still in progress...

AI i rebuilt is going to AK47_tzj for testing and perhaps implementation in the next version...

Try changing the capital limit to 'Standard' unless the fleetlimit hasent been changed.. I havent checked myself.

A Gundam DOW mod would be cool but this aint a DOW thread... Aint happening here... Takes even more time then a HW2 mod.

[Katana69]

oh ok thx alot and how do u get luna II how do u get the program to unbig files

how do i get Luna II i need specific instructions and the program please!!!!

[twitchey]

yah i cant get to luna ll eather

[Pvt.Parts]

Seeing as Kou Uraki isn't willing to share how he got Luna II, I guess i'll let ya know how

To get Luna II:

1.0) Download unfbig (see this thread for latest http://forums.relicnews.com/showthre...ghlight=uNFbig)

1.5) backup gundam_mod2.2.tgz to gundam_mod2.2.tgz.bak (in case you screw up ^_^ )

2.0)rename gundam_mod2.2.tgz to gundam_mod2.2.big

3.0) use uNfbig to extract the files from gundam_mod2.2.big (files extracted from the gundam_mod2.2.big file are located in the same folder as the unfbig program)

4.0) In GUNDAM_MOD2\scripts\startingfleets folder, edit the_earth_federal00.lua using a text editor like notepad or wordpad.

5.0) change the line where it says type = "Efsf_MS_carrier", to type = "Efsf_mothership",

6.0) Close the file and save.

7.0) Use unfbig to recompress ALL the files and folders that was extracted in step 3.0)

8.0) Rename the file back to gundam_mod2.2.tgz and place it in \Homeworld2\Data

9.0) Load the game and give it a shot

All should work ok. That's the "method" i used to get Luna II. Which, btw, is farkin' HUGE! ^_^

[Kampfer_ms18e]

:giggler:
hehe, ya... got another question:
how do I create my custom fleet symbols, like zion and fed symbols so i can use with gundam mod and stuff (^_^!) i apologize for my nubiness haha

[Kou Uraki]

i never said i wasnt willing to share! dont put words in my mouth! I would have been most welcome to share. All someone had 2 do was ask me, thats all!
