I finally found a copy of HW2, but i've got a serious problem with it. I get the autoplay as usual, but when i click install the entire thing freezes. I even dived into the cd to change the compatability options, but it froze up then, too.
-
Check your CD. It may be scratched or in need of cleaning.
It also tends to slow down a whole lot at that point. Just walk away from your computer and come back about two hours later if the CD's okay.
-
nah, it's brand new.

That might be a good place to look as well.
-
eh, nevermind, i did what ntgm1r said and be patient, and the installation started in about 5-10 mins. :D
THREAD CLOSURE!

that station looks a lot like the Pride of Hiigara sideways.
-
Nope, its just Chimera station that sees some action in the first mission. Looks purty'er there because of the pre-rendered state. :)
Tanis Station and the Mothership look pretty fantastic rendered too. :D
But yeah, I was just replaying Single Player for HW2 as well. Up to Ghenna at the moment.

i need to upgrade my vid, i'm surprised it can play it. i'm looking to get a GeForce 5500. It's better than a 9x00. :D

d'oh! that was what the POH was docked to! *bashes head on desk*

*just got his 6800 and is very happy with it*

Be sure to try out the Homeworld2 to Freespace mod...

it's not out yet, is it?

Yep, Duelron1001 posted version 0.25a a little while ago, check out their thread on Relic Forums over here for the latest version, but i believe it's still in Alpha/Beta stages...

And then, there's their forum on GameWarden...here;

The mod isn't quite done yet, and it's slowed done some as of late, but when it's finished, it's going to be one hell of a game...
-
i'm stuck on the mission where you have to stop the bad guys from stealing part of the bentus core. i don't have enough forces to defend my mothership and stop the carrier.

i see your screenshot, and raise you a photoshop edit
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v625/Turnsky/ironclad.jpg)
oh, and i had the same issue as you did, i just bypassed the autorun altogether, and went to the CD drive and ran setup.exe
-
I'd raise your photoshop edit with a screenshot, except I'm pretty sure I'll have a use for that particular image in the future... ;7

:ha:

Nope, that's Tanis base, the Giant structure. Chimera is the one that gets taken down by the first wave of bombers... ;)

LoL, that doesn't count. :p

Btw way, lvlshot tags boy! ^_^

Hey! Why doesn't that count? I believe that a picturesque HW2 Screenshot beats a picturesque *photoshopped* screenshot hands-down...:p - anyway, i'd like to see someone beat -that-

I have learned much, much more than simply adjusting the Brightness/Contrast...

Apart from the ugly Turbolaser Blast coming off the Providence, and the Explosion looking thing in the middle of the Venerator, a rather picturesque shot...
...Edit: There we go, a rather soddy patch up job, but no more ugle Muzzleblasts & Explosion
-
actually, i adjusted much more than that, i used a color burn, some brush highlights, an overlay, a blurred linear dodge layer.
-
Really? It doesn't show all that much, i was able to recreate your image EXACTLY using only the Brightness/Contrast sliders...but then, that's the premiere tool in Photoshop anyway...or, at least, when i use it...:p
