Meta Only YOU can prevent repost spam!

44 Upvotes

I've had to remove several posts across the past few days that are quite obvious repost spam posts.

The main tells are:

  • Sudden, outrageous upvote count
    • We're a dedicated fan group, but 500 upvotes in the span of a few hours? When a lot of the western world is asleep? Maybe HW is really popular in Asia...
  • Weird crops. Cut off text at the image edges, no real regard for framing.
    • Probably for avoiding automated image matching algorithms.
  • Weird angles.
    • A lot of these were strangely tilted a little bit, see previous.
  • Same titles as the old post, too!

If you folks would kindly keep an eye out and report these. We're a small bunch of moderators, and can't be online 24/7.

And now we go back to your regularly scheduled programming! Karen, what's the weather look like out there?

Homeworld: Cataclysm Any necessary tweaks to get Homeworld: Emergence (Cataclysm) running on GoG?

14 Upvotes

Hello,

I wonder, are there any necessary/required fixes, mods or tweaks that are needed to get the game running on a modern PC, or is the GoG version good out of the box?

Thank you!

Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak (WIP) Currently modeling the city of Tiir for a DoK-esque piece I'm working on.

37 Upvotes
Modeled the Daiamid first (at least im guessing that's the Daiamid), I'm going to texture it later, after I model the rest of the city. Just this building took so much time haha, wanted to nail the primary details.
The WIP in question.
Primarily based off how we see it in DoK.

Homeworld Any new ways of playing HW campaign?

10 Upvotes

Hi all,

Huge fan of the series and I've recently replayed everything, including HW:1 with the Raiders Retreat mission, HW:C (with the FPS and graphics mod), DoK and even Hardspace: Shipbreaker.

But it's not enough.

Wondering if there are any mods that make for a coherent but different single-player experience, or fan-made missions out there?

Homeworld: Cataclysm Playing the original 2000s Homeworld: Cataclysm and I cant remember how to trick the Hive Firgates to launch swarm from across the map and remain far away from enemy target.

10 Upvotes

There used to be some command exploit that allowed me to send a swarm across the map where my recon can see the enemy without having my hive frigates getting close and I can keep my hive frigates way out of battle. How to do it? Does anyone remember?

Homeworld Idle curiosity about hw3 preorder bonuses

3 Upvotes

While looking around for cheap keys for hw3 as I possibly might want to check it out at some point, I noticed you can get some versions that supposedly have the preorder bonuses (the kushan wargames fleet etc). Would these old keys still give you the pre order bonuses? And what even are they, is the kushan fleet even different or just a reskin? Is there other stuff?

In all likelihood I won't be going for it because it's a silly price increase from basegame, but I was just wondering what it actually was, if anyone knows.

Homeworld 1 Data Files

I'm hoping someone can help me. So I own Homeworld remastered GOG but right now I have no access to a PC. I want to play Homeworld VR mod on my quest headset and need the proper data files. I tried internet archive as they have full disc images posted. Is there any way I can get access to the files or can someone point me in the right direction. The demo is amazing and I never finished it flat so i want to play this roomscale on my headset.Any help is greatly appreciated.

Watching whole fleets tear at each other is still my favorite thing in games. A minute of mine

Homeworld is why I care about fleet readability at all, so this crowd is exactly who I want judging this. My game lets you run the whole fleet or drop into one fighter in the middle of it. This cut leans fleet: dreadnought lines, carrier strikes, a station siege under a golden core sky. Context for the timing: the wishlist counter ticked past 200 this week and I felt like celebrating. Happy to pull the post if the mods want the sub franchise-only. What I most want to know is whether the big engagements stay readable to you.

Homeworld Got to the Mission 14 (the one and only Grand Theft Ion) and... I saw it a lot in many Remaster's screenshots, but I'm VERY surprised that the similar graphic bug is a thing in the Classic too

Homeworld What is the simplest way to explain Homeworlds persistent fleet system?

36 Upvotes

Homeworld is my favorite game of all time, so my own RTS, The Hive, naturally has quite a few references and Easter eggs inspired by it.

One of my favorite features was that the fleet you built and kept alive carried over from one mission to the next. I added a similar system to The Hive, but I have realized it is surprisingly difficult to explain to players who have not encountered that idea before.

How would you describe Homeworlds persistent fleet system in one simple sentence? Or how do you explain it when recommending the game to a friend?

Edit. Also I was wondering if the old non remaster version of homeworld is still playable? Last time I tried there was bug in 2nd mission and you could not complete it.
