Some of you may remember hearing about a Freespace Mod for Homeworld 2. There was indeed one in development...

...but the project leader has ceased working on it.

I, as well as several others, cannot express enough the horror of this, so i beg of all, follow this link to their forum:

post, partition, offer help, do something to stop this beuatiful mod (trust me, just go to the website) from dying out.

(I'm sorry, that post sounded totally dumb, but i had to say somthing.)

A thing to mention is that Homeworld 2 requires the models to be made (or converted) in Maya. You can get the Personal Learning Edition of Maya 5 from [here] Maya requires at least 512 MB of ram and that the system runs on Windows 2000 Pro or XP Pro.

Yay for Maya...a 3D program that I can understand.  Does the Personal Learning Edition work at all with Homeworld 2?

GULP!!!!!!

Here are some screenies from the website, located here

I hope that the owner doesn't mind me linking to the pics, I just thought I'de be nice if people could see some progress made on the mod right here in the thread.

Err, looks interesting. I remember the FS2 mod for Homeworld1, its was very comprehensive and just outright cool. HW2 seems to offer many more possibilities than the original, so I hope this gets picked up again.

The models/textures look good, though if you don't me me saying so; they could be a bit better. Anyways, a HW style game with in the Freespace universe would be, well, ****ing amazing. Especially if HW2 allows (does it? I don't keep up to date) for full-fleged singlelayer missions to be made. I mean like story, cutscenes and all.

Looks good so far, and hopefully the mod will get picked up again.

but without an alpha 1 around, to make sure your plans work out even if you screw up, it will be a very hard job to win

IceFire: Maya PLE is supposedly exactly the same as Maya Complete. The only difference is when you render something in PLE the program will stick the Alias logo watermark on the image.

Other tools to Mod Homeworld 2 can be found here.

This is so sad.   I was really waiting for this mod to come out too.

[Liberator]

The file exporter doesn't work with PLE.  The "tools" as released by Relic are laughable when compared to what the community was promised.

Holy hell this MOD kicks ass! One more reason to buy Homeworld 2! (just as soon as the guys get my computer fixed. Sent in today, should be done by 3:40 or later...)

*knifes the net and gets free, then throwing the dagger at UT pegging him in the head and killing him instantly. Makes a mad dash away and jumps into a river*

*goes of to feed UT's corps to Carl*
