sure, modify the "CanBuildShips" parameter in the ship file to add mover_hgn and any other Keeper types YOU have defined in familylist.lua (e.g. drone_kpr). Then modify the build.lua and research.lua for the race you want it to build from.
10% of life is what happens to you and 90% is what you DO about it
ok i finaly figured out what i was doing wrong i needed to change the name of the files and build and reserch stuff to hgn_keeperM10 now i have a new problem the ship icon for the keeper that i build looks like meg_wreckage how do i change it back to the keeper icon?

If you want to have a ship type that is not defined in familylist.lua, you have to add an entry to it (same goes for armour, avoidance family, etc.).
Since you effectively created a new ship you need to go into icons directory under the ship folder and add that ship. Something like : hgn_keeperM10 = kpr_destroyer and put it in immediately after the kpr_destroyer entry (if you put it in before that, it won't know what the kpr_destroyer icon is and if you put it in too far afterwards, it seems to get confused during game load and "forgets" what kpr_destroyer is, at least as far as re-using the icon info).
well ive been working on adding bentus to the higaran build list and so far i have it down i only have a problem with bentus spawns right on top of my ms i would like to have it hyperspace in similar to how a shipyard would anyone got some tips for me?
in the scripts folder of the stuff extracted from the .big file, there should be a directory called formations. Under that is a file called something like mothership_parade.lua that lists where specific ships are to go. Any ships not listed go into "default" slots which is what is happening with your bentus....
So how do you know which one your starting fleet is using? For instance, I have a custom fleet used for testing that's made from the keeper race and, so far, consists of sajuuk, a dreadnaught, a destroyer, drones, movers, and a few other custom ships.in the scripts folder of the stuff extracted from the .big file, there should be a directory called formations. Under that is a file called something like mothership_parade.lua that lists where specific ships are to go.

Also, how do you set a new starting formation for a new race?

in the mothership's .ship file is a parameter called "parade" something or other. That gives you the formations name.
You mean this one:
Ok, thanks.NewShipType.paradeData = "hgn_mothership_parade"
you can also make up custom parades, I don't know how, but i've seen it done

keep in mind when playing with formations that LUADC doesnt decompile them properly, if you realy are looking to make custom formations i have been meaning to place a tutorial on the forums for quite some time,
mothership parade is quite simple, when decompiled it gives you the starting place of the ship line and i belive the ships moove outwards along the X/-X axis away from the origin in spaceing determined by the formation spaceing perametre in the ship files.
i have been meaning to do some reserch into this so bear with me
I would like to do two custom formations for the two new races I am adding. I was going to take a hiigaran formation and tear it apart, but if you've made/are making a tutorial for making them from scratch it would be really helpful.keep in mind when playing with formations that LUADC doesnt decompile them properly, if you realy are looking to make custom formations i have been meaning to place a tutorial on the forums for quite some time,

Modding the keeper race to work on a mac is proving to be quite troublesome.
Everything works (without adding weapons to bentus) up to the point of changing the build.lua, then afterwards its crash after crash. I can't post an -luatrace log either since that doesn't work on macs.
Question,
I have added a weapon hardpoint as per the tutorial, and it 'functions' properly, that is the vessel fires it's Battlecruiser Kinetic round, but there is no visable turret, and instead of firing two simultaneous rounds like the BC, it's firing a single shell from an invisible weapon system.
I am altering the Hgn_Mothership and converting her into a dreadnought equivalent, as my mod does not require resourcing or construction. Therefore little old MS was left out of the loop and I figured all my races have large vessels that could function as a new class of ship I.E. dreadnoughts.
I am currently working on arming the Hgn_Mothership with BC class Kinetic turrets along her flanks, and though she is deadly firing ghost weapons, she isn't really all that intimidating without the turrets bristling her sides.
If anyone can illuminate my problem I would be more than pleased.
Currently Sujuuk is the Keeper's "dreadnought" and I am planning on converting the Vaygr flagship and Hiigy MS into those race's equivilent combat ships.

firecaste, you need to add a turret (subsystem) instead of a weapon to that hardpoint.
I thought that was only for the Ion Beam...
I went through the BC .ship file and cannot find the Turret Subsystem to yoink and add to my MS.
Anyway I could get a bit more detail on the process?
ok. goto the BC's ship file and look for a line like this:
StartShipHardPointConfig(NewShipType, "SCC_Turret", "Weapon_TurretTop", "System", "Innate", "Damageable", "HGN_SCC_3xAC_Turret", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "")
Basicly, anything in the subsystem directory can be added with the above line.
You can then copy the turret and change the weapon to whatever you want.
in the example the hardpoint used is Weapon_TurretTop, and the turret is HGN_SCC_3xAC_Turret. Also, you can make it so that the weapon is buildable, and not just give as is in the example, by adding "", infrount of the turret.
You don't have to actually create a turret subsystem, you can just create turret weapon hardpoints, and assign turret meshes to them in the HOD, then change the weapon type from 'gimble' to 'AnimatedTurret', and set turning speeds for the turret in the wepn file.. Look at my Progenitor Platform in my mod, as none of it's turrets are subsystems.have added a weapon hardpoint as per the tutorial, and it 'functions' properly, that is the vessel fires it's Battlecruiser Kinetic round, but there is no visable turret,
My mod thread:
http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=189945
If you make 2 or more barrels/muzzles for your turret, then you can have the 'slave' muzzle/s fire at the same time as the first, or have a slight delay using the wepn file.and instead of firing two simultaneous rounds like the BC,
Muchas Gracias.
I shall get to work fiddling with your suggestions, I appreciate the responses.

Ok i've gotten to the hardpoint part and i have the net thing installed, and i made the 3 children per weapon hardpoint i made and when i went to save it gave an stupid error message
And the forum wont let me post it cuz theres a URL in it?
The forum won't let you have a link in your first post. Successive posts should work.
By the way, you should D/L and use CFHodEd (available on these forums) to edit your hardpoints, etc. It does a great job on stuff like that.
Man that a lot of stuff you got to do, why can't anyone just upload it not to be lazy or anything, but that takes a bunch of time for newbies.
Hmm, for the life of me I can't find these "Eviljedi Script and AI files" that are mentioned in the final portion of the tutorial. Of course, the forum search was useless as normal. I even manually dug through the thread.
Am I blind or are they just never linked?

No, they're not linked. I think it means that you need to get the full decompiled data file and use the AI folder.

I'm attempting to go through the Keeper tutorial, but I'm only at the second step (changing the meg_bentus to keeper and attempting to load), and it ctd when it loads. First step was perfectly fine. Here's an excerpt from my error log:

Ok, that's not the log, that's the minidump file. The log should be further down in the folder and called HW2.log. Post what's in it, and we'll see if we can't help you out.
I beg to differ. That is the opening couple lines of the HW2log. But, as requested, here is the log:

That is the minidump dude.
Just check that line that says MiniDump saved to blah blaah blah.
hey is there a tutorial that explains how to get the ai to research?
My mistake. It wasn't the minidump, it was the dated error log file. My apologies.
This should be it:

Thanks in advance.
Heres you error :
GameObj: Error: Level has ended on the first frame. Game rules (lua) has determined game is over. Level may have no ships. -- FATAL EXIT --
This usually means that you have no build capable ships in your starting fleet.
The first places I'd look is your starting fleet file, to make sure you have a build capable ship actually in there and everything is in order, then at the .ship files for the ships that should be build capable to make sure they really are. Mind you, I've not actually followed this tutorial, and am just going off of what I see in your error log
Yeah I'm back on track guys. Thanks.
hey, it won't let me download the keeper bentus .hod file
a window opens that says
"unknown file type"
and instead of run it says "find"
and it still has "save" and "cancel"
find being find an appropriate application
any help?
...make your own?
i cant downlod harded it says application has generated an exception that could not b handled process id=0xedc (3804), thead id=0x5ac (1452) can any one help me out plz
shuki : Its just the .hod you want to save it to your hard disk and open it with CFHoded. If you can't download it, do as xxobot suggested and make your own by opening the Meg_Bentus.hod in CFHoded and saveing it as Kpr_Bentus.hod, then moveing it to its new home in it proper directory.
Phoenix666 : HodEd has been replaced with CFHoded
I've followed this tutorial from the beginning, except I made a new race. When I started, the game, after I had edited a few things, the race I made seemed more like a random pick than what it was supposed to be. Basically, when I started a Player vs. CPU match, it spawned the wrong mothership. I don't know what could have done this, does anyone else?
check your starting fleets file and the hod for your mothership most likely the starting fleets file will have to be changedd i ran into the same problem its a simple fix
Cliop: make sure you still have the "Random" race in its own slot, is a hardwired option.
Yes, that helped a lot thanks. sadly now it won't start a match, it crashes before I can start a game =\
You need build and research files in a directory that has the same name as the first entry in race.lua of the race you made up (where your racename will go):
THEN, you need to have a racename00.lua file in the startingfleets directory. If you have all that, post your hw2.log file so someone here can look at it.Code:{ "Hiigaran", "$1100", "hyperspace_gate", "etg/special/SPECIAL_ABILITIES_HYPERSPACE_IN", 2.5, Playable, "HGN_", },
I did what you explained already, and I've constantly checked the HW2 file, but there's nothing wrong with it.
My latest HW2 file reads:
Obviously the end of the code is where the game crashes.Code:Tue Aug 12 18:38:05 2008 Loaded Archive: 'Homeworld2.big' UTIL -- filepath failure, path doesn't exists 'C:\PROGRA~1\Sierra\HOMEWO~1\data\locale\english' Loaded Archive: 'english.big' Uing ..profiles\ for profiles folder GAME -- Using player profile Cliop Changing from a 32 bit colour depth in winNT (5.1 build 2600), Service Pack 3 Using NVIDIA Corporation's 2.1.2 GeForce 7600 GS/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! renderer (Suspected driver is nvoglnt.dll 6.14.11.7516) Loaded Archive: 'englishSpeech.big' Loaded Archive: 'Music.big' SOUND -- created destination [ fdaudio ], handle [ 4 ] with [ 48 ] channels created SOUND -- created destination [ fda streamer ], handle [ 5 ] with [ 8 ] channels created Build name: The Dust Wars - AutoBuild3569 - Ordered by smmatte Built by : mrbuild Data path : C:\PROGRA~1\Sierra\HOMEWO~1\data Resetting fp control word.

Once again, I have no idea what correlates to this exception.Code:0x00A93CE1: MeshInstance::getBlock ()
I don't know, but it seems like its complaining about something in your HOD or associated files. If you have missing textures or weapons files, the log file does not show you that...
thank you ford6 but now i cant do part 3 of the tutorial as i dont have the scripts file
If you mean the events file it should be in the homeworld2.big. Just extract it with spookyrats big extractor.
If you mean the scripts folder . . . just grab it from the big file as well.
Okay Guys listen up
I know this issue has been disscused somewhat during this thread but i have not found anything that fully explains the entire mechanics. So...... Here goes.
I have realized that any noob at this game is going to get stuck at a very crucial point in the tutorial: Building
So i PM'd this to moe today in order to fix this misunderstanding
This "should" help any noob having problems getting Bentus to build.Okay here's the problem
I haven't played homeworld 2 in a long time and i've never uninstalled the game, that would be a waste right? So i said to my self: why not start modding!
Thats right i'm a newb. And i only started yesterday. So i followed your guide on making the keeper a playable race on wednesday and i finished the guide with only one problem. Bentus wouldn't build anything. I noticed that a few other people had also encountered this problem but i couldn't find the solution anywhere on this thread so i decided to see for myself where was the problem.
After a few hours of Bug hunting i finally found my problem. It comes down to this:
in step 1 of Section 9 (i know this isn't your work so it's not really your fault)
Classic thunder mentions (This is messy so if you want just roll down to wher the quote ends):
Okay now we are going to set up the kpr_mover, the kpr_capture_mover, the kpr_attackdroid, kpr_sajuuk, and the kpr_Destroyer for use in multiplayer. To do this we need to change the unit caps family and the display family for each craft. _____Fixing the unit cap. So open kpr_mover in the ships folder and change the below line Code: NewShipType.UnitCapsFamily = "SPMovers" to this. Code: NewShipType.UnitCapsFamily = "Corvette" There now the Mover has a usable max ship capacity number. If we hadn’t changed this line the mover would have a unit cap of 0. _____Fixing the Display Type The other line that will need to be changed sometimes is this one. Code: NewShipType.DisplayFamily This line tells what class the ship is under in the build manager. Example a ship set to “Capital” will show up under the Capitalship build menu. For the mover we can leave the line as NewShipType.DisplayFamily = “Corvette”. Now repeat this for all of the ships making it so that those lines look like this for each type of ship. For the Attackdroid: Code: NewShipType.DisplayFamily = "Fighter" NewShipType.UnitCapsFamily = "Fighter" Capture Mover: Code: NewShipType.DisplayFamily = "Corvette " NewShipType.UnitCapsFamily = "Corvette " Sajjuk: Code: NewShipType.DisplayFamily = "Capital" NewShipType.UnitCapsFamily = "Capital" Destroyer: Code: NewShipType.DisplayFamily = "Capital" NewShipType.UnitCapsFamily = "Capital"
So he baisically changed the unit cap family and the Display family
but mate listen! that doesn't allow Bentus to BUILD ANYTHING
and i was stuck there for AGES MATE!
Just today however i discover this line on the Kpr_attackdroid.ship File after analysing that Scripts/familylist.lua file my log kept bitching about :
NewShipType.BuildFamily = "Fighter_Hgn"
Dude it took me ages to figure this out!
That Fighter_Hgn part is supposed to go with the line in Kpr_Bentus.ship file:
addAbility(NewShipType,"CanBuildShips",1,"","")
it has to end up as
addAbility(NewShipType,"CanBuildShips",1,"Fighter_Hgn","")
otherwise the Bentus ship can't build Fighters right! Well how on earth is a noob supposed to know that?!!!
moreover the other keeper ships mentioned all have different buildfamily names that also need to be inserted in
addAbility(NewShipType,"CanBuildShips",1,"","")
to make
addAbility(NewShipType,"CanBuildShips",1,"Fighter_Hgn,Flagship_Hgn,NotBuildable,Mover_Hgn,Corvette_Hgn","")
In addition to what classic thunder tells us to do in step 1 Part 9 this is all that's required to actually finish the tutorial properly so come on! Please fix this ASAP else no one will know what to do!
by the way i'm going to post this on the thread just in case you don't chech your message box!
By the way i forgot to thank Moe for his outstanding tutorial! it's just inches from achieving perfection!
And if anyone needs help your free to pm me and i'll try to help resolve the problem.
