Click on the link on the top of the page. It links to the thread on Relic forums, and in the opening post there is a link to the beta.

I thought that it was obvious.

[übermetroid]

yea, but im lazy.  I will do it the hard way now...

[Jetmech Jr.]

heh, I should have checked for this, way to keep heads up, hollewanderer

I'm thinking of buying HW2 just to play this:

How do you get the Beta to work: I dont understand the part about the command-line??
"Installation/Deinstallation:

Installation

Add -overrideBigFile to the command-line of your HW2 shortcut, and place the data folder into HW2's root folder (ie C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\).

Back up and remove all folders except of animatics from the data folder in your HW2 directory. Copy the data folder from this archive into \Homeworld2

[JC Denton]

*sigh* okay, here we go:

Edit the HW2 shortcut so it reads:

"" -overrideBigFile

i.e. leave the target field as-is except for adding the override command onto the end (outside the quotation marks)

Next, copy the data directory and paste it somewhere out of the way (a level up from the HW2 folder itself works).  Then extract the one in the Zip into the HW2 folder.

[Hollewanderer]

*cough*New version of Beta is out*cough*

And it has NTF in it, too.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Yeah, and at the moment, I cant get the damned mod to work...

Sucks to be me right now  

[jdjtcagle]

Yes!!!

[Guyver]

Hehe...

[Deepstar]

I have Problems with the Mod.

I have installed it, have added the command line and start the Game.

The FS Music and the Maps are operatinal. But i haven't the FS Ships in the Game. I have only the normal HW2 Ships.

I have the German Version of HW2 is that maybe the Problem?

[Jetmech Jr.]

A lot of people are getting that problem at the moment.

Are you using v0.3?

[Jetmech Jr.]

they've upgraded (kinda) to v0.31, which fixes a few bugs.

The mod is also now in .big format so it should be easier to install.

[AnnihilaterD]

which means instead of -overridebid file, you use -mod FSFC.big ,before anyone asks.

[Jetmech Jr.]

no more messy folders, which kept screwin me up, so im happy about it

[JC Denton]

yarg, now I have to download it all again...damn, just no respect for us poor dial-up users, eh?

[Jetmech Jr.]
