Homeworld 2:The Ultimate HW2 Mod[Pic Heavy]

**Crossroads inc.** · 16th Jan 06 4:26 PM

Just finished reading through the entire Mod and have to stay I'm seriously impressed. That your adding the ships from both sids has got to be an immense undertaking, not to mention making the Bentusi and Progenitor playable ((as well as balanced)) races.

So, eh, making a Mac version of the mod?

I have tried your mod but I am unable to get it to run.
I appear to have the normal HW2 when I run it, with nothing new.

I have the overidebigfile modification to the start icon.

I tetsted this by then removing your mod and installing the complex 3.0 mod and this ran fine.

The installation guide txt file says put the file(s) in the data/.../deathmatch folder.

Please help, I would love to try it but clearly I am stupid, only the 2nd Mod I have tried apart from complex one.

Cheers

Install.txt?????There are no install txt files only badgereadme.txt, badgereadmeclan.txt and hw2mapthumnailreadme.txt.Read the htm file for installation.

I am curious Max, is your mod compatable with a Mac? I tried DL'ing it just for kicks and I didn't see anything that was incompatable, and it seemed like the only reason it didn't work was because the DL packet didn't have a launcher designed for the mod.

Any help?

**maxdamage** · 19th Jan 06 3:01 PM

Crossroad:

read .htm file in mod zipfile and follow instructions in it.There is a shortcut .lnk for the mod in the zip file which works in windows.

It should work in Mac but I don't know as the only apple computer I've worked or played on is a Apple II from 1982.....

Jolly good work Max!

Got the mod functional, but not fully working... Theres a few bugs and mistakes that I think just may be Mac related... Darn mac...

**maxdamage** · 23rd Jan 06 2:22 PM

Good to know that...Crossroads inc.

List the problems and I can say whether its my mod or something else.BTW there is an earlier post in this topic which list known problems with my mod so look there and please tell me if the problems are one of those or something else.....

*New version available* V2.87

Only thing missing is the advanced research module for HGN_VGR_SHIPYARD and HGN_VGR_CARRIER.

Modified some AI files in HW2 and the comp uses the added ships like a dream.:thumbs:

**Crossroads inc.** · 6th Feb 06 4:12 PM

Oh MAx, I don't think I ever got back to you, but I wanted to list the bugs I had with your mod on my Mac to see if you could check them out. So far they are:

Bentus: When it warps in, it's non functional, it doesn't move and won't build anything. Also it has no weapons. It will hyperspace, but thats it.

Dreadnaught: Won't be built but still costs 1500 :P Basically when I click on it, I loose 1500, it goes red and says I have one, but nothing warps in.

Fighter Drone: Takes forever to repair. When I spend the resources to make one, and it gets damaged, I tell it to dock like any other fighter. But while a normal fighter will be healed in less then a minut or so, the Drone takes over 5min before its healed.

**maxdamage** · 6th Feb 06 4:31 PM

I'll fix the moving of Meg_Bentus but bentus won't fire,build,etc...

Dreadnaught:will build playing as the Vaygr but not as the Hiigarans.Why I don't know but I have tried everything to get it to work while playing as the Hiigarans but nothing?

Fighter Drone????

maxdamage.

**Crossroads inc.** · 6th Feb 06 4:35 PM

Fighter drone...

The progenator Fighter that comes out of the Keeper, member that one?

**maxdamage** · 6th Feb 06 5:08 PM

Heres the regen time for the Keeper Attackdroid or fighter drone:

Code:

NewShipType.regentime = 0

With me when it docks it doesn't take that long to repair it!

maxdamage

**maxdamage** · 9th Feb 06 2:01 PM

Added Sajuuk but had to remove it.

Sajuuk can be built from the Vgr_Shipyard and the Vgr_Shipyard but if built from the Hgn_Shipyard and Vgr_Hgn_Shipyard the game stops responding when the ship is suppose to either come out of the shipyard or hyperspace in then I have to ctrl +alt + del.

maxdamage

**maxdamage** · 16th Feb 06 2:14 PM

Final Version Coming soon!!!

maxdamage.

**OutriderVS9** · 16th Feb 06 2:54 PM

You can just change the dockfamily of Sajuuk so that it hypers in.

**maxdamage** · 16th Feb 06 3:21 PM

Well it still doesn't explain to me why with Hiigaran ships Sajuuk causes the game to stop responding when built from but with the Vaygr the ship doesn't cause the game to stop responding when built from???

maxdamage.

**DatonKallandor** · 16th Feb 06 3:48 PM

Most likely some coding error on your part. Sorry for the harshness, but Ive just never seen such an error happening before.

Infact Ive never heard about an error that made the game lock up like that. Usually its CTD.

Daton

**maxdamage** · 16th Feb 06 7:16 PM

All I have done with Sajuuk is to make appear both Vagyr and Hiigaran shipyard build script only yet only the hgn_vgr_shipyard + vgr_shipyard can successfully build it without problems????

Got the Hiigarans to build Sajuuk but still not hyperspacing in?
Going to leave Sajuuk out as it is too powerful!

maxdamage,
(Very late reply, but i discovered it...)
Its all in the SCAR_UTIL.lua and/or the Restrict.lua. In the Restrict.lua, there *MUST* be a MPRestrict() function. It Disables some things in MP check it AND Scar_Util.lua. (Not by decompiling them, but from the RDN package itself. LuaDC somehow decreases the size of the decompiled files! )
And yes, ALL the problems (I AM 100% SURE) you face can be solved my modifying Restrict.lua and Scar_Util.lua ( in "data:Scripts/Scar/" )

EDIT:

look, for the problems with the mover thing

end

----------------------------
--end of lua script
----------------------------

Also, why Vaygr Carriers, etc. wont work with Hiigarans:

function HW2_DisableBuilderOnCapture( sobgroupname )
for i=1,(Universe_PlayerCount()-1) do
if ( "Player_Ships"..i ) and ( Player_GetRace(i) == Race_Vaygr ) then
--~ print("disabling for "..i )
-- get all the players builders and disable on capture
SobGroup_FillShipsByType ( sobgroupname, "Player_Ships"..i, "Vgr_Carrier" )
SobGroup_SetCaptureAlwaysDisables( sobgroupname, 1 )

SobGroup_FillShipsByType ( sobgroupname, "Player_Ships"..i, "Vgr_Shipyard" )
SobGroup_SetCaptureAlwaysDisables( sobgroupname, 1 )
end
end
end

----------------------------
--end of lua script
----------------------------

You can implement many things with SCAR. Just don't make the code execute every 'frame' ie Add a Rule with a Interval of 1.5 to 3 secs, that shouldn't cause much problems.

And yes don't use decompiler for these type of scripts, you may lose a lot of information.

Natopo · 17th Jun 06 8:29 PM

What would be really nice is if someone had a way to build enemy ships when you have taken over one of their construction vehicles. Like using a marine frigate to take over a vaygr shipyard and actually being able to build out of it instead of just using it as a resource vessel. That would be very pleasant to have.

**maxdamage** · 25th Sep 06 3:33 PM

New version coming out soon.Fixed a couple of things,added some files,some new maps,etc..Just need to test some stuff out before I upload mod for download.

**Mantaray** · 25th Sep 06 10:29 PM

i also would like to see a script for doing this, would help alot with the pirates mod

**maxdamage** · 26th Sep 06 1:41 PM

@mantaray

Don't you mean a tutorial?

**maxdamage** · 3rd Oct 06 3:11 PM

Should have the new version ready to upload on thursday or friday evening.Trying to get the load a savegame bug fixed when I start HW2 with my mod and then load a savegame.

Will edit post with when the mod crashes during the load screen.

[edit]mod crashes at the save database part during the load screen for loading a savegame file if you start HW2 with my mod(big file) and then proceed to load a savegame file or if I load any map and then load the savegame it works. Why?

**maxdamage** · 6th Oct 06 2:22 PM

New version ready to download.Check first page for topic for link.

Paktu · 24th Oct 06 5:31 AM

no offence but this is something that even i can do, in fact i made it so that the bentus (thanks moe) can make all races, AND i made my own ships that can be made

i don't think there was any need for a hype for this mod

nova_supreme · 29th Apr 07 4:36 PM

paktu could post a link to the bentus files you mentioned so that i can ue bentus as a mothership?

not a good modder

**maxdamage** · 15th Jun 12 1:43 PM

Busy slowly working on a new version of the mod plus I will be fixing all image link errors as I have moved over to photobucket.Hopefully I have all of the screenshots backed up.Also whats up with the forum site?I tried to update the first post of the thread but all it did was screw up the formatting.Help!

    local numplayers = Universe_PlayerCount()
    while  i<numplayers do
        RestrictOptions(i)
        i = (i + 1)
    end 

end

The only problem is that out of the 3 research "unlocked" only the FrigateHealthUpgradeSPGAME appears in the research menu in-game which I plan to restrict by only allowing it to display once the frigate production subsystem is built.

Code:

 { 
        Name = "AssaultCorvetteEliteWeaponUpgrade", 
        RequiredResearch = "", 
        RequiredSubSystems = "CorvetteProduction", 
        Cost = 0, 
        Time = 0, 
        DisplayedName = "Elite Assault Corvette Weapon Upgrade", 
        DisplayPriority = 1204, 
        Description = "", 
        UpgradeType = Modifier, 
        TargetType = Ship, 
        TargetName = "Hgn_AssaultCorvetteElite", 
        UpgradeName = "WeaponDamage", 
        UpgradeValue = 2, }, 
    { 
        Name = "AttackBomberEliteWeaponUpgrade", 
        RequiredResearch = "", 
        RequiredSubSystems = "FighterProduction", 
        Cost = 0, 
        Time = 0, 
        DisplayedName = "Elite Attack Bomber Weapon Upgrade", 
        DisplayPriority = 1205, 
        Description = "", 
        UpgradeType = Modifier, 
        TargetType = Ship, 
        TargetName = "Hgn_AttackBomberElite", 
        UpgradeName = "WeaponDamage", 
        UpgradeValue = 1.8, }, 
    { 
        Name = "FrigateHealthUpgradeSPGAME", 
        RequiredResearch = "", 
        RequiredSubSystems = "", 
        Cost = 800, 
        Time = 60, 
        DisplayedName = "$7571", 
        DisplayPriority = 300, 
        Description = "$7572", 
        UpgradeType = Modifier, 
        TargetType = Family, 
        TargetName = "Frigate", 
        UpgradeName = "MAXHEALTH", 
        UpgradeValue = 2.5, },

What else do I have to do to get the research to appear in-game?

Hi,

Please, fix your links for the MOD files.

Or write "TBD" or "WIP" next to the broken links, if you don't wanna publish the game right away.
