[url][/url] DJ Die: great news beghins looks good as always Nerb: Wow, you work fast. So did you find a map editor or did you script it all? Cant wait Epon: What about adding a few vertices to the sphere used for planets? (to avoid those hard hedges in the shape) vila: Beghins wrote:Ciao, Complex 6.8 out this week end on Saturday. It will be downloadable only for members of this forum. Features: -planets on map background; -new map called Topleca (large scale, 90000); -enhanched game camera view (more far, 9000 -> 15000); -gameplay balancing; -AI balancing, expecially for the honour progression; -other few issues on bugs and tuning. After this release (I think the last of the 6 series) we will start the development of Complex 7. Excellent!But will dreadnought badges be the right way up now? :? JAX: Wou great, it will be cool, that's for sure! :) ThroneMonkey: Yay, more AI honor balencing. Love the planets in the background by the way.

After this release (I think the last of the 6 series) we will start the development of Complex 7. Cool. I see here a preparation for BIG maps... and real planets :D Will the new big map be for 6p or can we play it like in duel? I like to play against only one AI at the time, lol. Also, just an ideia.. it would be so cool if we could hyperspace to other maps. Altrough this might be vey difficult to mod or even impossible...:roll: Pete J: I'm really glad that you're still working on Complex Beghins! As for larger maps, I'm all for it. I only play on the largest available and that starts to feel a little cramped (well with five enemies it does anyway:mrgreen:) groucho: sounds great!big maps sounds terrific.Thanks for all your hard work, Beghins and the rest of the team. Aliksander: That map looks great.Is all of it dark like their fighting in the planet's shadow?We need more planet backround maps, make it look like your fighting for more than resources.It would also be cool to have a map with a destroyed planet as background in fragments with lots of asteroid bases, dust clouds and radiation clouds on the map itself. Lechi: nice ^^ i think the BC won :P the planet in the background looks also very cool but the hedges in the shape are too hard as Epon said. should be like the screen with the earth in the planet management thread :) and thx for the enhanched game camera view ^^ darkhelmet: Its hard to believe after all these years Relic did such a good job (as usual) this game still moves on. Especially with other companies still putting out $50+ crap. Thanks Beghin for the best mod for HW. Tingmore: People pay for mods that aren't Complex?:shock::shock::shock: $50?!!:shock::shock::shock: bigarv65: Good Lord, man!Do you have a life?Well, either way, I am boundlessly grateful for your efforts.I'm looking forward to the bigger maps (what, more maps?YAY!)and how we're going to interact with planets. There are some naysayers, but I think the planet(iods) are a viable gameplay option if used properly.Of course, knowing what would be how to best do that is the trick, no? I mean really, just how much does the Complex have in common with the original HW2 as far as gameplay goes?I have a stock version on my computer and when I played a skirmish recently I was out of sorts because so much of how I manage things are totaly different.I got bored. So I dig it man, keep up the good work. kuponutmog: Bigger is always better :) Trouble is i have a pretty slow computer, so after about 40 minutes of play im down to single figure FPS. Doesn't stop me of course :) cazilla: Has the 6.8 update happened yet?:roll: (thinking: cant wait cant wait cant wait :shock: ) Beghins: 6.8 out, check the web site, Beghins. chewy: great news. Is there a changelog online perhaps or is one included in the exe? vila: Topleca: now THAT'S what I call a deep space map! Nice one, Beghins, thanks very much. Nerb: chewy wrote:great news. Is there a changelog online perhaps or is one included in the exe? Havnt you learnt yet.... NO But of course your free to type one up. chewy: of course i haven't learned yet. I got this mod about a week ago and been on this forum for 1 day O_o. Nerb: Mate, you have 23 posts... thats one of the longest serving forum members! You probably know more about the game than the rest of us:lol: Nerb: Just played 6.8... i love the start position locator on the server screen.... very handy. No crashes, all ran perfectly. md1053: sensor manager's blue blobs are rendered behind planets... also, I can notice a relevant fps drop when looking at the earth-like planet in the map where that planet is present toghether with a large moon Epon: 6.8 crash when loading level (whatever) on osX... (I get a segmentation fault as error...) :( Epon: Epon wrote:6.8 crash when loading level (whatever) on osX... (I get a segmentation fault as error...) :( Someone can confirm, or it's just me? kuponutmog: Works very nicely for me. I've only tried the new (huge map) and i quite liked it, although my personal favourite remains Balcora (i only ever play as myself versus a single CPU player). That map has some very nice resource areas, i love all the dust clouds. JAX: I can't play huge map like Topleca, cause my machine is too weak for that... damn! :D But new machine will come very soon :) Epon: Epon wrote: Epon wrote:6.8 crash when loading level (whatever) on osX... (I get a segmentation fault as error...) :( Someone can confirm, or it's just me? Still no one tested it on osX?? :? JAX: I know, maybe i am a noobish one, but what is that osX, u mean Mac? Epon: JAX wrote:I know, maybe i am a noobish one, but what is that osX, u mean Mac? ... yep... kuponutmog: Hey Epon don't be surprised that he asked that, us civilised people stay well away from macs :) Epon: kuponutmog wrote:Hey Epon don't be surprised that he asked that, us civilised people stay well away from macs :) ah... did knew I was a neanderthal... :roll: Beghins: May be a problem related to osX. Someone on Mac run Complex 6.8? ThroneMonkey: It crashes while on the game loading screen on Mac OSX 10.4.10. I get the same thing as epon in the terminal, a segmentation fault. I could post the full error from the console if you want to see it, its kinda long. Beghins: OK, post it, thanks. Epon: Another osX user (not a member here) also confirmed the crash... Beghins: The only thing I've added into maps are planets in background, but it's very strange you can't load the game. Try a match in a map without planet, like Elliptical Assault, and if the game crash during loading, try to load it more then one time. Let me know what happen. And, is there here some Mac users who load levels without any problems? Epon: Elliptical Assault load! Now, Epopea2 for example crash during "Render Pre Level"... Strangely I don't get the segmentation fault in terminal and don't have any crash log... strange... Epon: Ok, got the crash log (hope it will help): Code: Version: Homeworld 2 version 1.1.1 (1.0) PID:    9591 Thread: 0 Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes:      KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at

load map with planets in background. Try to load Fast War or Total War (they have no planets) and let me know. We have to discover if problems are related to planets 3D model or to maps dimension. Epon: Both maps work fine! So it must be something related to planets... Beghins: OK I've no a Mac, so, I can send you some files (maps), but you should insert them into the game and test it. So, can you open the .big archive and run the game with the -overridebigfile command? Epon: Yep, no problemo; see your PM. sangamc: im having the exact same problem on osx 10.4 it crashes during load level. i can post my log file if someone can tell me where to get it. i could never find the hw2.log file thats supposed to be created with the '-luatrace' modifier. btw what other switches can be used?

The log is available to you on the osX pane after crash. (or in Console in your Utilities folder) By "switches" you mean commands? Beghins: To Epon or any other Mac user. download the attached file, it contain 2 levels for testing, let me which one you are able to load. No log, only if you can load it or not, thanks. Epon: Test1 crash while test2 is ok. sangamc: where is the attachment with the levels for testing? also how do i load individual levels into hw2? ill give it a try when i get home tonight and post the result thanks! Epon: sangamc wrote:where is the attachment with the levels for testing? also how do i load individual levels into hw2? You need to unbig the complex68.big and place the two test levels in the complex levels folder. Beghins: OK, the problem is not in the map size, but into the planet model. Can someone provide informations about Mac texturing an modeling with Homeworld 2 engine? Planets are taken from worlords mod, may be there, someone has just encountered the same problem. Epon: Beghins wrote:OK, the problem is not in the map size, but into the planet model. Can someone provide informations about Mac texturing an modeling with Homeworld 2 engine? Planets are taken from worlords mod, may be there, someone has just encountered the same problem. Wait, if a textured ship work on all platform, why another textured model won't? I mean HW2 engine use a specific format, not two, or yes? Could not be a simple problem of coding in the level itself? How could we test your planet models outside those levels? perhaps replacing a ship model by the planet one to see if it load? Beghins: Quote: How could we test your planet models outside those levels? perhaps replacing a ship model by the planet one to see if it load? Epon, In the map you have load (file 2) instead of the planet in background you have Balcora Gate, take a look, so the problem is in the planet model, may be its scale, may be textures, but I'm not on a Mac and it's hard to find what's wrong, so I need informations, try to read the warlords forum, or try to play that mod in a map with planets in background. Also try to replace the file attached here to data\ship\earth\earth.ship and run the map Open Cosmo, let me know what happen. Epon: You ask me to play another mod!? grrrr! :wink: (have to dig, don't know this mod) In the meantime, Balcora's gate is fine in Test 2 and Open Cosmo crash even with the above earth.ship file... :? Epon: After some reading at Warlords forum, seems the mod run on Mac... EDIT: Bad news! Seems there is a limit for object size in HW2 port on Mac!

Epon: ThroneMonkey wrote:woah, Epon, how do you open .big archives on mac, and do that -overridebigfile thing? You need Bigar, a command line tool to pack or unpack .big archives.

OK, we have to establish what's that size limit, so, download the this file http://www.homeworld2complex.com/earth.zip, you will find 4 files (the planet earth scaled to 0.75, 0.5, 0.25, 0.1); rename each file to earth and replace it to data\ship\earth\earth.hod then run Open Cosmo and tell me which file works and which no.

Sorry, if 0.1 doesn't work... planets are not for Mac, the next release will go out in 2 version, Windows and Mac (without planets in background), unless you find some documentation/informations around the net. Epon: No problemo. Edit: To avoid you packing 2 versions, why not just have some maps with and without planets and tag the map thumbs with something to say that maps with planet won't load on Mac? sangamc: well i downloaded 6.7 last night, just so i could the 2p maps. i sincerly hope we can find a solution coz this mod is friggin awesome (i even conerted my brother from sins-oase) ioll probably be able to contribute heavily to the testing over the weekend. so if no solution is found by then ill be more than happy ThroneMonkey: Epon wrote: ThroneMonkey wrote:woah, Epon, how do you open .big archives on mac, and do that -overridebigfile thing?

It appears as though macs can't have planets. I believe Beghins said he would ul a mac version w/o planets. And to continue the off-topic spamaroo, I bet Carla Bruni does use a mac, but for all the wrong reasons (because she thinks it makes her cool, unique creative, etc.), not for the power user reasons, right Epon?

However, I have also noticed the crashes(I tend to do a lot of solo skirmish vs cpu), while not early into a game, they tend to happen 2+ hours into play for me. Also, when playing as the vaygr, fleet selection only shows total ships in each class, while as hiigaran, each ship type present shows up as well. I don't know if this was something still in development or not. But it's a great new breath into what was for me, a mediocre game at best(sorry, but sierra had it right in HW1!).

When I put the to hard though the AI was fine Fury.UK: I bought a new pc (old pc wouldn't play complex), installed vista, installed HW2 and ......waited.....waited a bit longer....emmigrated to Australia, immigrated back to UK....and......vista crashed... Restarted Vista...blue screen...after blue screen.... I found the vista disk, it now makes a very good anti drip mat for my Tea. Finally, installed XP again, and guys...wow what a exceptional mod. You've created a real gem of a game.I have been a fan of real time stategy games since Total Annihilation and Star Trek Armada.Chris Taylors new Supreme Commander is also excellent.All I can think about when I play this is the epic space battles in B5, and some of the DS9 stuff. The game is well balanced, and the A.I is quite challenging.The construction options are very unique and I'm amazed at how much thought has gone into it.I believe there will probably be a new game soon, I hope they use your mod as an example of what they could achieve. Its really good to see a group a people showing dedication and quality to something they believe in. Keep up the good work, FURY. Beghins: Mac release available, http://www.homeworld2complex.com/lastversion.htm It removes planets from maps and now it allows Mac users to play Complex on Tactical, Normal and Fast modalities. nitemaestro: YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!

Just wanted to say "oh my God, you guys are legends!" This mod rocks my universe. I got HW2 a couple weeks ago and then a friend downloaded Complex and I don't think either of us have slept since! P.s Has anyone tried the BattleStar Galactica mod? I couldnt get it to work:( Fantastic work, cheers. [Alpha]-0mega-: I tried it, it's kinda limited though. And I don't really get why they have TNS and TOS. Beghins: Quote: BattleStar Galactica mod? Do you mean BattleStar Galactica Trailers, if you want you can find a lot of these trailers around the net, perhaps all made by the team, but where is the mod? I mean, where is the playable version? I only have found some ships put into the engine. Nerb: http://www.moddb.com/mods/6951/battlestar-galactica-fleet-commander I tried it and thought it was pretty crap. No real gameplay, just models. Ive just been looking at FX mod though. Beghins, you should look at that one. It has 7 playable races. Add that into complex and we're rocking! Sajuuk: Yeah, we, those from the FX Community Forums, thought of implementing Complex into FX...or vice-versa... nitemaestro: It'd be a good idea in my opinion. I've been talking to the FX english community, and it's slowly dying out, but enthusiastic nonetheless. The main FX mod community is Chinese however, but I honestly dont think they would have any real issue with some sort of collaboration in order to keep both communities alive and kicking... http://hwfx.galaxygaming.net/ is the english community's forum site link Mikeybee123: I love some of the stuff thats being planned on the work in progress forum...are you planning on integrating all of that?????

I think we should try everyting at least one time in life (well.. almost everyting:mrgreen: ) Back to complex. Nerb: I agree Fasta, Complex is the bomb.... but the addition of other races is good. A lot of work left to do on FX i believe, while complex really only needs some finishing touches. vila: I've felt tempted to try FX but after reading the above maybe I'll wait a bit. I would love to see multiple races in Complex.I suppose most pvp games are same-race contests to make an even match, but in human v AI I think it would be better if all players were different races.With a maximum of six players per game and a choice of seven races I would have a real problem deciding which to leave out! I can see one snag though.At least one of the FX-created units is already in use in Complex in a different role: the Turanic gun platform.It would have to be taken away from the Hiigs and given back to the Turanic Raiders, but I don't see a problem with that.I think I've only built them once! Dwarden: sry to sound dumb but i'm trying to figure out simple feature :) how enable / disable altitude indicators for visible objects (including non selected) ... i'm sure it's possible i just can't remember thanks in advance vayg0r: @vila, space combat games with different races... hmmm... reminds me of pax imperia II. great game for those times! played it till i had headache from those rotating planets ;) callitri: hi guys first of all grate job beghins as usual i managed to play last night a 6.91 match and was a bit disapointed about the battleship it behaved likean ion cannon frig wich is good considering its heavy weapons are on its side but the nukes it fires are waaaaay to powerfull and frequent and u dont even have to build them like tho other weapons in my idea the nukes in general are killing the strategic side of the game the juggernaut was fine couse it was slow and u could defend your self against it yet if umanaged to slam on in the midle of a fleet it did quite a lot of dmg but now even the shuttle has nukes , and the battleship , yes it the most expensive and such ship but still once u get like 2 of those its like nothing the vaygr can produce last most then few seconds i dont ask u to remove the nukes alltogather couse a lot of ppl may love em althow i would like to see them go but at least make an option at start no WMDs :no battleship nuke (or if its to problamatic to tkae out its nukes then take out the battle ship alltogather for this option) no shuttle nukes no nukes of any kind except the juggernaut yesterdays match i had 3 battleships and just stood there and decimated entire fleets of 6-7 super cap ships most of them even before the battleships got within fireing range of there conventional weapons so as a request and i hope i am not the only one could u make an option where u can play without all these nukes ty Dwarden: pesonally i think the number of attack minicrafts from H BattleCruiser become problem in moment You are jumped by 6 or 10 of them that mean hundreds just these ones such battle become FPS lagfest even with very powerful videocards ... and please do something with the 'AI helps' because it's complete waste of time to play game just to realize AI just was donated 3 BS and 10 BC out of nowhere and you being attacked by fleet more powerful than your whole side ... hell once i even saw AI being donated battleship while you started just research destroyers ... (fastest research route) ... something is wrong with that (i got no problem with AI gets some boosts but in moment it turns game to unplayable something is wrong) once i defeat first wave of BS/BC and then get jumped by 4 times bigger force from same AI (no chance he could raise such forces) so i wonder how the hell AI aids work ... is it cummulative or multiply each time is there any cooldown or probability it happens ? this happens on few which quite shocked me on normal it was nearly unbelivable what they got donated in 3vs3 match ... nbates66: cool, i'll have to try the new version, we get uncapped tommorrow!!! also: Fury.UK wrote:I bought a new pc (old pc wouldn't play complex), installed vista, installed HW2 and ......waited.....waited a bit longer....emmigrated to Australia, immigrated back to UK....and......vista crashed...

I tried several online services and even after correcting the spelling of "Zerstörer" I got these results: To replace for the nevertheless rather simple destroyers with these beautiful ones (3 times) To replace the nevertheless quite simple destroyers by these beautiful (twice) The nevertheless rather easy destroyers by this clarify to substitute (twice) The relatively simple by destroyers to replace these beautiful The but right simple destroyer by this belles to replace The first one is obviously the best, even if not perfect, but you definitely need to get lucky with your choice of translator.

It speeds things up a bit in the start, and it unlocks upgrades to let you gather RUs faster,store more RU's faster dropoff etc. 2 They can shoot far but an Ion platform wil take care of it. 3 Fighters have to be in large groups to be effective. 4 Disable its engines and keep the you're ships awa, destroy it at a distance. Mikeybee123: Quick Notes I think the Vagyr Battle Cruisers release far too many perforation pods, maybe make the wait interval longer??

They came at me with 20+ destroyers and other stuff BC, BS etc. Simmity: Because the vaygr do not have multiple research modules crew requirement modules and if you want to rush to destroyers you only have to research it.

I can't await to try out the new version. boldlock: yeah i think mikeybee123 is right... the vagyr is just too damn powerful...how can they produce RUs that fast?...next thing u know u'll be hit hard from BSs, BCs, destroyers before i got a chance to build up my fleet..and that really is DAMN frustrating... the AI needs to tune down a bit...its just overwhelming... :( vila: Baroness wrote:Sorry mein englisch ist nicht gut !!!!! und sorry für die schlechte Übersetzung aber google gibt nicht mehr her !!!!!

They should have a longer reload interval and also a much shorter range - at the moment the little blighters seem to be able to re-target and chase ships all over the map.

Thakns! I think that in Coplex 7 is need to bring to Vaygr new technologies... Scaala: Just to reiterate...It still looks like there are no .big versions available for download.Kind of frustrating when a mac user would like to give this a try. Diiadiiax: i cant play it! it crashes at the universe part.. Furite: im already downloading it :Dcan't wait.. ArushaOfDenmark: is the mac version out yet? Its not the main site yet... Is there a way that i can extract the .big file from the exe file for pc, cuz that's all i need, unless the .big files are different from pc to mac... anyone know? Furite: oh no! my comp is to slow for the mod, it wont work properly:( .....oh btw i noticed that my ships flash red sometimes is it just my comp or a bug? Scaala: I thought I saw some notes or discussion that macs couldn't handle planets correctly.Whether that means an object on the map or a picture in the background, that would be one possible thing requiring a different build... npc_gman: Seraph wrote: Mikeybee123 wrote: I think the Vagyr Battle Cruisers release far too many perforation pods, maybe make the wait interval longer??

Maybe the pods should shoot little missiles that do exactly as much damage and have the same characteristics but look better. Concussion missiles might do the part.

I'm new at complex, and i dont understand a thing there. but the mod is very promising and awesome!!! MAPS!!!! PLANETS!!!! OMFG!!!! Best HW2 Mod EVER!!!!! :D bierman: Author fashion greetings from Ukraine. Thank you for this modification. We are waiting for the seventh version of HomeWorld. Leonidus: if your wondering about the mac version PM behgins and ask cause all i gotas a responce was aug 25-30 adn its not sept 11 with no version. ALC: I second that, patiently waiting for the Mac version here :wink: nitemaestro: I... "third" that... Is that even the right way to say it...?? :P Point is.. patiently(esque) waiting. Scaala: I think it's pretty fair to say the mac version's dead in the water at this point. CloudAge: Have no fear there will be a Mac version of Complex 7 for sure! after all the mac community here is pretty large! Beghins: Yes, only I need help from mac users... I've not a Mac -download the zip; -you find 3 map inside, place them in your "data/leveldata/complexlevels" folder; then place europa, europa1 and europa2" in your "data/ship" folder; let me know which map you can load... and you will have the Mac version. www.homeworld2complex.com/download/MacTest.zip ezopus: bigarv65 wrote:Good Lord, man!Do you have a life?Well, either way, I am boundlessly grateful for your efforts.I'm looking forward to the bigger maps (what, more maps?YAY!)and how we're going to interact with planets. There are some naysayers, but I think the planet(iods) are a viable gameplay option if used properly.Of course, knowing what would be how to best do that is the trick, no? I mean really, just how much does the Complex have in common with the original HW2 as far as gameplay goes?I have a stock version on my computer and when I played a skirmish recently I was out of sorts because so much of how I manage things are totaly different.I got bored. So I dig it man, keep up the good work.Thank you very much Beghins, for your huge effort on making this mod for us, I am very grateful for that. This whole Complex mod is a masterpiece, a piece of really good artwork, t could be sold separately as a standalone game. It is exactly what I was looking for since years in the space strategy genre, I would have done the same if I would had your talent, knowledge and of course time :) Thanks again. whitebrightheart: I've been following this mod for a long time now.I can't believe how much entertainment I've gotten out of it!I'd happily have payed for this. Keep up the good work, fantastic stuff. Leiyun: Its mods like this that uphold the gaming 'industry'. What I'm trying to say is that compared to many new games, this is something I actually look forward to! I love the complex mod! Every new feature (and thus new update) makes me drool in anticipation! Many, many thanks:shock: CloudAge: HEY IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEAS AT ALL HIT THE FORUMS AND POST UP!!

Btw. if looking for assistance in coding or calculations (e.g. balance) i can offer my help. Actually i am better in creating/modding games then playing them.

I think that in Coplex 7 is need to bring to Vaygr new technologies... Agreed. The Vaygr almost always feel like they need more...stuff. The Hiigarans have a type of ship for excavations, they have a ship for research, a ship for crew, a ship for chamber music concerts, a ship for large formal functions, a ship for crew members with pets... Those last few are jokes, obviously, but the Vaygr just lack the sheer unit diversity that Hiigarans can field. That said, this mod is the best thing since molecular oxygen and Beghins is my new favorite person ever!!! -jsax Dark_Safi: i agree that the vaygr need more ships but half the point is that they use cruder technology mackjsm: New in town!glad I found you guys!! 8)8) mackjsm: Beghins, Thank You Thank you! :D Band2C: Thanks. Beautiful work. A glimpse of heaven:mrgreen: . Thank you. DaFranker: Beghins, just so you know, the poll hasn't reset the vote count even though you changed the options, so it already has a TON of votes even without anyone having voted yet. Nighteyes: This looks like a great mod can't wait to play it! p.s. The link for 7.1 does not work atm Killtech: Huch, I was really wondering about that vote and how come so many have already submited their vote. StWolf: Download for 7.1 is broken.

I think its for 7.1.If there are issues, then we post, and Beghins has a centralized place to get a general opinion of 7.1.That being said, hopefully he will un-kill soon the link so we can play it.And I was around for last time, but I'm not sure exactly what the problem is.I'm not sure, but I think it has to do with people distributing Complex for download all over the place.But chances are its something entirely different. sinhosie: @Beghins What map editor do you use?

I even downloaded the one before this one and that mod works just fine. So I think the 7.1 needs to be resubmitted or something is very wrong. shadowl: I was also wondering if you guys can make it available at download.com becuase the link above is way too slow it take me almost 2 hrs to download. MaxTech: In the last few weeks more than 400 new users have joined, so they are all trying to get this file at the same time. Distribution control is Beghins one request, so everyone will respect that and not put this file anywhere else. Corrupt files are from download problems, the actual file works without any problems. Use a program like GetRight, and you'll see it does stop two or three times you have to resume to recover from. Regular download does not show that and simply stops with errors in the incomplete file or general corruption that makes the file unusable. Kuchinawa: Hi , gguys , wish you A HAPPY NEW YEAR FULL OF prosperity and NEW MODS , and a great thanks to BEGHINS and all his staff ,and AAALLL the HOMEWORLD FANS , happy new year:D:mrgreen: Doomgiver: What has changed from 7.1 to 7.2?

JAX: Btw can i ask for something? Does v7.2 bring any news i mean like new ships or subsytems? Cause there is no difference betwen 7.2, 7.1, they both have 226MB. ouch: 7.2 fixes some bugs like the higg's loseing all thier upgrades while the crewstation, and research station are docked to the shipyard. so it's pretty much a "must" upgrade... adriengi: I'm going to ask the same question that all mac player is going to ask but rather than an answer i wonder why you didn't make a mac section that would be easer for everyone and it would stop boring you all the time. So when the mac version would be out? ANd thanks for this mod who is excelent and give a second life to this game. kzr: what's the new about the game I dont understand what is difference between 7.1 and 7.2 zdonner: Any mirrors?

I've done a search, seems there is Mac users here but still I'm unable to locate any link... :cry: Someone can help, please? Sagyxil: James, check this topic: http://complex.mastertopforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=68&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 James: Tx, but that means a Mac user need a PC to use the mod?? :shock: Sagyxil: No, it means you need to find someone who can send you the *.big file. Another option might to find a way to emulate Windows on your Mac so you can run the *.exe file and get the *.big file yourself. James: Tx Sagyxil. This stuff is far from being practical... No way the devs could propose the ".big" file for download?? :| Sagyxil: Not on the forums they can't. MasterTopForums will only allow specific file types to be uploaded. (for archives they are [acegtargzrartarzip], and images can be [gifjpegjpgpngtgatif]) (There is a simple way around this, by appending the extension ".zip" to it, but that's not advisable for a number of reasons; the most prominent being that many people's computers are set up to hide the extensions of known file types, so they couldn't change them back.)

Mmhh... changing an extension seems to be faar simple to me than having to buy and install a piece of software to emulate a system (that I need to buy too) all this to run an .exe file to extract a .big file etc... And even if I do all that, the link you point me seems to say that a PC big file won't run on Mac... :? Sagyxil: Try posting something in the aforementioned Mac topic; I can't really offer a great deal more advice; I use a laptop PC. It has been many moons since I last used a Mac (though it was the first computer I ever used.) The installer is simply meant to help those who aren't familiar with installing mods by hand. It creates the necessary desktop shortcut and installs the *.big file to the HW2 installation directory without the user having to find it by hand. Edit: Spelling/Installer Explanation WallyCrooze: Would it just not be possible for the developers to archive the .big in a tar. I think .big is compressed, but if not, then zip would be fine as well. Master_Drow: The easy way would be to put the .big into a .zip container. The mac stuffit expander will automatically unzip the file when it is downloaded and the mac users will have the .big file.

Crinjagizmo: What would be awesome is for the players to use ADW to destroy a planet (that the other player would try to defend =P) Kind of multiplayer mission objectives tankerkid: sorry to sound retarded, but i downloaded a v 7.3 a couple of days ago, and now its 7.3.1 - whats the difference? Sagyxil: I do believe a Desync error was fixed. Sniper_Ghost: I haven't yet downloaded the latest version of this mod 7.3.1 as i was wondering what has actually changed/been improved etc since version 6.9.2? Is there as thread showing all the changes i.e a Readme? As I haven't found one. JAKEhp: Wish download was faster... Senris: Honestly, this is retarded.Why is the download only available though the site?Download speed is 40kb/s tops (No, its not my end.I have a fine cable connection for just about everything, 40kb/s would make sense if this was a torrent or something but this is ridiculous), meaning 2 hours minimum (isn't really that long but that means the download is bound to time out).I'd give the benefit of the doubt and assume they haven't had it hosted on any other site like ModDb, or Filefront yet for a reason, but 2 hours to download, don't really see what justifies that.I know its only been out for a few weeks in which case there hasn't been much time for it to be hosted elsewhere, but seriously, this is completely impractical. EDIT: Sure enough, 30 mins in the download stops >_>, simply put I cannot download this from this forum atm (Too much traffic, location, poor server for this type of thing to begin with, plenty of possible problems, none of which I can do anything about on my end, so would someone (I really don't care who) please host it somewhere. vila: Quote: Download speed is 40kb/s tops I got 90kb/s with a very slow connection, no time-outs or any otherproblems. Senris: We live in different areas so...(Arizona, US) Traffic was also probably different when you downloaded.Regardless of how or why there is a slow down, hosting it in more then one place would solve it >_> (yes I'm being a %^$ about it, but inefficiency tends to bother me, especially when there is a fix out there that isn't being used (maybe for a reason I'm not aware of yet) and yes, the only reason I'm saying something is because said problem affects me, wont deny I'm a prick like that) ORCACommander: ok this is weird I get a better download time using the down them all ad on for firefox then I do using normal download methods. EDIT averaging 240 KB/S using DTA AVG using normal methods: 80-90 KB/s Warprince: WTF ive tryed to down load it 7 times now and every time about half way it stops. its really geting to me now and i cant seem to find any other sites to download from. on top of all that i can only down load at 63kb/sec which sucks so bad. and i know for a fact i download at atleast 750-800kb/sec so im thinking somethings messed but with there severs?

No. Beghins is releasing it his way (and if I had a MOD of this stature, I'd release mine in exactly the same way). Please respect the fact that the Complex Forum is the only official place to download Complex from.

FOUR POINT ONE ZERO KB PER SECOND. While...Ill say it again..I respect this being the only 'offical' place to Download it. IS IT to much to ask for an upload to Gamespy or somewhere else. And DONT tell me to 'Just use a Download Accellerator/Mannager. I SHOULDENT have to use an outside piece of software for a simple download...

Nikolaus_Tinkerer: Most internet providers get you marvelous transfer rates inside your country but horrendous rates when going international. Try downloading it from work/a friends/school and so on. You could take your laptop/smartphone for a ride and hunt for a free wireless somewhere. Send your mom/dad the link and ask them to try at work. Or... you could have patience, grasshopper... patience.

Post your locations. The guy in asia says he's gettin 100kb/s Im in Illinois, USA. Where's the DL server hosted? Also? Paitence I would normally have, but the Download Drops every half-ish hour to an hour so Unless im going to babysit it for a day and a half restarting the DL.....All the paitence in the world wont really help..

I've been playing the PC version through an emulator for ages now... Can go back to playing natively. Cypher wrote:ver 7.3.3? nice:mrgreen: so whats new in this version btw? anyway bk to the point what changes we have in this one? bug fixes? er, read all the posts in the forums in the last 3 months since 6.8! :D EDIT: Downloading now. Speed I'm getting for the MAC version is 50kbps, a steady stream. EDIT 2: Btw and this to the developers, are there any features that are in the PC version which are not supported in the Mac version? KaziArmada: Whats the difference between 7.3.2 and 7.3.3? Ill tell you one Its DLing at 50 Kb/s For me, WOOT! Edit:Its back down to 10 Kb/s Damnit Sagyxil: Some small changes to some of the weapons...nothing major...a few unspecified bug fixes. orion: Thank you so much for this mac version.I'm up here in Seattle, WA on Comcast 20 Mbps (yea right) pipe.5 min into dl and I have a steady 43.9 kb/s.If ppl want, and mods allow, I can podmail, torrent, direct dl this to whomever. I have waited so long for a mac version as I could never install HW 2 onto a pc - I hate cd checks.But I am very excited.I'm guessing planets don't exist for mac, but I just want to see what y'all have been up to.I have literally checked at least once a week for many moons trying to keep up on the changes. Truly, thank you for all of your work folks.I can't wait to open this up tomorrow morning! Nerb: here in australia i was downloading at 25k/s... but a download manager with 5 segments had all 5 at 20k/s, so 100k/s for me. nekokinryoku: I live in the UK and I get over 100Kbp/s, sometimes up to 200kbp/s when traffic around here drops. Evil Penguin: 280-350 constant here in the middle of the uk joe 2987: My download speed for v7.3.3 is around 45Kb/s.The download terminates itself after about 20Mb (out of 200-some Mb).Does anyone know why?A normal download for me is around 3Mb/s (Upload is around 300Kb/s).I'm guessing the site's bandwidth is too low for me to download any faster, but it still shouldn't just cancel my download 20Mb in. GamerOS: While I download 7.3.3 (already did 2 times, busy third time now) it seems to go from 100 KB/s to something in the 40's, and the 2 previous attempts had been thus far either incomplete our cut of early. seems some thing's wrong with the server. xgxe: you have to use a download manager like firefox's downthemall Vfef: FlashGet is also another good one I used it for a long time there. I am able to complete it *2 hour download >.<* at 44-50Kb/s I wonder if they have posted something stating they don't want it on Filefront or something. To the Search Tool, It would save time and bandwidth IMO. But its up to the Devs nouchi291: good Earthplayer: Germany here, static 400-600 kb/sec. Fast as an arrow^^ reyfeo23.7: :mrgreen: hola muchachos y muchacas cuando es el lanzamiento de complex 7.4 Earthplayer: el más tarde dentro de una semana sthodla: Complex download seems to be stuck at the 45kb/s level and then when I try to install, it complains that the file failed archive integrity (or some version of that) Anyone have any ideas on anywhere else it's available? exops91: can say gud mod but bout the yellow circle space station i would make it soit can turn and move but slowly cus then could defend areas better:idea: Strikestorm: I'm gettinga incomplete file .

I see that there is no Mac version. Why not, if Macs are supported? Or is Mac support being dropped? tutyit: I think the Mac version needs more tuning... But great news and good job! I really like the new 7.4 Complex! BigT: Hi guys, don´t know if this thread is the right place for it, but I´m very thankful for the Massmail. I don´t check with this board regularly, but I´m always happy to test out a new version of this great mod! MasterP: Many thanks for the mass mailer. Kirill: Thanks for E-mail. I was realy surprised.

Thanks :D coldspyderSLS: Again you are awesome ,even though I had an DL issue. I've been busy remolding my home not much time to play.

Are you planning on releasing the full Mac version soon? Thanks again! ShotgunWilly: heh, any chance of getting a better mirror. please? I'm downloading this at 40-60KB/s, it will take me over an hour and a half I'm downloading another file from sourceforge that is 100MB larger than this one. It is ranging from 400-600KB/s and it'll be done within 15 min ALC: What you see is what you get. Complex is only available from Complex. Enjoy it though. It is worth the wait. ShotgunWilly: ALC wrote:What you see is what you get. Well, what I'm seeing right now does not impress me in the least It had better be darn impressive to be worth it ALC: Life is so cruel Cozakaxo: Superb, absolutely superb Oeffentliche Meinung: Downloading atm! Will vote after i played a while to get a clue! Thx for the Email.Homeworld 2 (Complex) especially its gameplay has been never reached so far. Keep up the good work. Impressive for a 5 year old game! Streaks: Hi guys. I'm new here. Always thought that Homeworld2 could have at least been as epic as Homeworld1. Instead, Homeworld2 became the fast-paced, better graphics version of Homeworld1. Its got so few units! And every unit blows up so fast if you have enough fire-power. Frigates in HW2 are practically sitting ducks that requires Resource collectors for repairs...and the mines you deploy expires? Hmmm... I hope that this mod would re-make Homeworld2 for me. Question: I am using a No-CD v.1.1 ENG patch. Will this mod work with this patch? I tried using DAEMON Tools on HW2, to no avail despite the fact that I tried every security option when creating the HW2 CD image. (Sorry to the developers for doing this, but I don't want to wear out both my Homeworld2 CD and my laptop's DVD burner just because I have to stick in the CD again and again. Don't worry, I have an original copy of both HW1 and HW2.) BlackWolf: o...m...G this looks so cool am new n all and this is so old omg its cool lol :P Sagyxil: @Streaks...yes the mod will work with the patch. ricolevengeur: Hello, me i've got some trouble to down this last version. First, it's make a very very long time to download, and after when i launch it, it's make that the file have some corrupt file...So Have you got this same trouble? koren: i have download and installed the 7.4 version the higaraan side is superb, but it is no so good on vaygr part. it is almost difficult for vaygr a pack of 6~10 cruiser or destroyer to take down the heavy support "scafford" ship. I only managed to hold my ground with flagship less than 50% and all destroyer gone after i JUMPED my space station later when my destroyer squadron all blew up. also, vagyr space station is inferior than the higaraan type. no heavy nuclear production, no super gun turret. u make higara too strong in term of late game heavy ship on ship choices and firepower. if i would give a suggestion. I hope benghis will consider adding an extra command in behavior type to add "ship capture/disable mode" idea: when #1~#10 fleet group is call up with infiltrator frigate or marine frigate in it, all ship in the same fleet group with "ship capture disable mode" will only harass the targeted ship with emp fire and engine/non-destroy able part with intention to be capture. this will make more sense to have emp fire and disabled duration for frigate type and above. it is difficult for player intend to play ship capture game. :oops: ricolevengeur: I have down again (3th time) and now it's run. Sagyxil: ricolevengeur wrote:Hello, me i've got some trouble to down this last version. First, it's make a very very long time to download, and after when i launch it, it's make that the file have some corrupt file...So Have you got this same trouble? You need to use a download manager to get it.Otherwise it will always come up corrupted (not sure why this is so.) I use Firefox's "DownThemAll!" koren: Internet Download Manager, IDM is decent too. but it ain't free program. :x ALC: tisk, tisk, still no Mac versio for 7.4:shock: hell diguner: The download manager that I use that has been kind to me is "Free Download Manager", which as you can guess, is free, unlike IDM. The only problem that I have ever had with is it doesn't like the dowloads from one of the major dowload host sites (I forget which one). Whenever I download something from there, it just makes a download file called X6, and fails to work. On another note, please be nice when useing a download manager and only open one section for dowload at a time. Utilizing ten seperately dowloading sections at once really hurts everyone, especially those who do not use such download managers. Skandalos: Just downloading. Man, this thing has grown, 320 MB now. Cant wait to play this on my new hardware *drool* reyfeo23.7: :mrgreen: hi all el complex 7.4 les quedo la raja super bueno aunque me gustaria que el guardian tambien sirviera para el contraataque de cazas y bombarderos gracias PinScher: why not set up a torrent for this? people can donate with their bandwidth camroguy: When i go to download the newer versions i get the "connection reset" message. But, I go back to the forum and continue donwloading and it seems to work. Delta202: As Always you did a great job I completely love it the 2 or 1 hour download wait was worth it i also like how you can build nearly everything for the game i am very happy that build speeds are faster:twisted::) bruxo: Pleae help, im new at this, How do i install the mod?... or is there a step by step thingon how to install the mod?.. (im downloading it as I type this.) Tanx a lot!... pics look great... spanto6@yahoo.com Dark_Safi: just run the .exe file (double click) and point it to your hw2 root directory (typically C:\program files\sierra\homeworld2) hell diguner: Aaah, you decided to put 7.4 on Strategy Informer. What made you decide to do this, and not just wait for 7.4.1, the last of the seven series? penyuan: Is there a particular reason why there are no customizable game parameters for the Mac version? Will there be such options for upcoming versions? ALC: Hmm, 7.4.1, downloading now... ...and 7.4.2 announced. As I recall a Mac version of 7.4.1 was promised. May we know when will it be out? NunoDRKS: whats the chabges between 7.4 and 7.4.1? hell diguner: I could have sworn 7.4.1 was to be the last of the 7 series... rastapasta: alt link isn't 7.4.2, only 7.4. please fix, because the main link takes 1.5 hours to download :@ :shock: ALC: Hey Beghins, will there be a Mac version of 7.4.2? hell diguner: Beghins, you need to update the website, saying that either the next version is 7.4.3 or 8.0.0. Are there any changes from 7.4.1 to 7.4.2 besides the sync error fix? DeusExmachina: Amazing work! This is truly the best thing that's happened to this game ever since it got released. Thank you for all your efforts. Andreaz: DeusExmachina wrote:Amazing work! This is truly the best thing that's happened to this game ever since it got released. Thank you for all your efforts. I fully agree. This mod is the reason Homeworld 2 will be on my drive for years to come. I sure hope Relic has a look at this mod when creating Homeworld 3. If they do the same oversimplification for Homeworld 3 as they did for DoW2 than we fans are again in for a bad surprise. Please Relic, do not dumb down Homeworld 3. Do not make the same mistake as you made with DoW2. (as if this plee would help:roll: ) qwery_fake: Relic should not ignore all this effort. Great job, thanks everybody involved. Haekel: Just played a Game with a friend of mine, crashed after about 30 Minutes due to out of sync error.Sorry, but it´s not fixed, at least for us :-/ boun619: My 3rd attempt to download the file.I run into some kind of an error 3/4 way through the download with file inconsistency and cant' continue.Anyone else have problems d/l it? jxlt: thanks for shareing WARDUDE: YEA i had ame.turned outa bad bandwidth problen reset and was fine Beghins: Once the 7.4.3 will be out (this WE) an alternative mirror at Strategy Informer will be activated, so wait for the 7.4.3 if your download speed is low (mine is at 400 and more, but I download from Italy, may be it depend from this). Lord Overmind: Italy is a great country for many things. 1: Nintendo's Mascot 2: Pasta! 3: Homeworld 2 Complex was made there.:mrgreen: Nakamura: An advice for all you, who are nerfed because of the slow download: try the program "download accelerator plus (DAP)". I downloaded complex with this prog. at 250kB/s Of course it's free. Sithicus: Beghins wrote:Once the 7.4.3 will be out (this WE) .

This way, the AI's attack one another while you figure out how to win. ALC: 7.4.3! Cool - great to see it out. Downloading now. tankerkid: have we got a changelog addressing whats been improved/fixed in this latest version of complex? Beghins: http://complex.mastertopforum.com/last-tuning-on-7-4-3-log-1-3-07-15-09-vt1213.html ALC: You need to update the version on Strategy Informer. There's little point in having a fast reliable download option if it doesn't have the current version on it. hoodaticus: First download was corrupt - retrying... THANKS ALOT GUYS FOR THIS AMAZING WORK!OUTSTANDING!I CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY! hoodaticus: Second download was reset at the server - retrying ... hoodaticus: Third time was the charm - it installed flawlessly! MrBooko: Hey the Vaygr got a dreadnaught <_<... When I was playing I made like 4 battle arks and a FULLY LOADED command post... I have to at least have seen like 30 to 40 dreadnaughts attack me ..... But thanks to my command post and super bombs... I survived and defeated them <_<... first time playing complex, its cool... But what about the Keeper? From the Progenitor Race? And not just anykeepers.. the keepers of sajuuk that the Bentusi had to sacrifice themselves to save the Hiigarans... ... How come when I was playing with the Gujking Battle formation the mega shield suddenly cut off? when it showed it still had power?? and then the shipyard exploded all of a sudden too...

WARDUDE: been playing game,till a virus killed my pc.redowning all over. ALC: Thanks for the Mac version. No thanks for placing the file on a mirror, FilePlanet which assumes that the user is using a PC and requires the said user to install a PC specific plug in in order to download the file!

But since I've played and started to get bored if HW2, i was looking for news of a possible HW3, and Sierra didn't had the idea to produce a third one. That got me really..:cry: But then i found Complex a few days ago, I've tried it. I Love it. Specially the fact that i can build new stuff including some Ships/Stations that were only available to "see" in the campaign. Very Thanks to the Developer(s) great work..:mrgreen: blaster9000: the download link seems to be borken... EDIT: oh i just noticed the mirror link :P sorry8) Bravo Six: Lolwut, link is broken on the newest version. (In case nobody has noticed) marinedevil: last time ive experianced complex, it was on v5.5, i cant believe thise mod is STILL rolling along at a greater then healthy pace, this is the greatest work of art on the face of the earth, congratz on all the publicity and all of your mod followers you should become a game developer using the same engine in which units move, but with and updated system, graphics continue to be pushed past the limit of HW2 man and i commend you and your whole team for your years of hard work, cheers8) eloy: tanx for the mod beghins!!!

If you don't get a dowload accelerator. My recommendation is "Free Download Manager". Just be nice to everyone else trying to download the file and set the number of downloading sections to a low number, like 2 or 1. Basically, with either downthemall or a dl accelerator, downloads automatically save themselves so that if you loose your internet connection, you can pick up the download where you left off. With dl accelerators though, they are able to download multiple pieces of a file all at once, making you one computer seem like 4, or 9, or 7. But the drag on the server is however many sections you have, not just 1 - your computer. So even with 2 sections downloading at once, you are bogging down the server as though two people were downloading at once. I don't know but downthemall may do the same. If anything you get does this, and the normal download speeds are slow, be courteous to those without dl accelerators and choose few or just one section of a file online to be downloaded at once. HWStargatelover: I cant get my complex to start! Norb: Today, I found Homeworld Complex and started to download the mod. The pictures and movies are fantastic!

I'm really excited, as Homeworld 1 remains one of my all time favorite games in terms of plot and gameplay...and well, Homeworld 2 lost the amazing gameplay and the amazing plot for me. Hopefully this mod will add the gameplay amazingment back in! ...can't do much for the plot, but whatever! airofsky: one question after player this mod is: shouldn't frigate being more useful? Deloused: Complex is great... turned Homeworld into a 4x game :) The lag is unbearable with a 64mb Video card, I can play all the maps but everything that has a planet and more than 2 players requires me to pause the game to give orders because the cursor is just too laggy. Tell yourself... somewhere... someone is tolerating unbearable lag to play your mod :D ackarion: Hello all. I am really in disbelief. I had not played HW 1/2 and the ofset second one in over 4 years,I thought it had died off.I was browsing XFire, when I cam across a few movie shots of complex. Let me tell you my reaction is floored.I thought HW2 (favorite) had died off. I am impressed with what I have seen. I am currently reinstalling HW2 and installing complex.I hope all is welcoming here and look forward into delving back into HW. ackarion: I do have an issue.I have downloaded Complex 7.4.3 Now I think I have removed all other mods the existed on this computer.Not sure. I select Complex shortcut.The game seems to begin to activate then goes black with the HW blue mouse pointer with black backdrop then kicks back to my desk top.I go to my homeworld2 shortcut and activate it, takes me straight to game. So what is it that needs to be checked or reomoved in order to allow the Complex to run. Any help would be apprecieated. WARDUDE: have you got updated drivers for video card/sometimes its that ALC: @ackarion Make sure that you have the latest update patch for Homeworld 2.

It would be nice if there was a version history somewhere that lists the changes that differentiates the verisons. :) Maybe the anomalous behavior of the heavy nuclear bomb losing effectiveness at really long ranges was addressed. Saleh_Ahmad: Gents, did anyone tried to use external maps with complex? It will be huge to enjoy complex with the many add on maps! :shock: WARDUDE: found that i couldn't run new 7.4.4.keeps returning to windows.must assume that i've reached the max that this old laptop can handle.i still have 7.4.3.so,i'll keep in touch but this seems to be it for me till i upgrade video.well just tried new version of upgraded 7.4.4.now i can play.ahh all is well with the world again.LOL Filippo.zp: Nakamura wrote:Is the someone who realized changes between 743 and 744?

Is this for bug fixes or an actual update to the game material or more research options? What would be really cool is if you could build two research modules so you can research 50% faster that is of course if you had the money.... Either way I'm sure the new version will be great and did want to thank you very much for developing complex its really quite awesome and is probably my single favorite game to play. CaptainDukhat: The map sure looks nice(though I myself still have to test it). I agree with Aliksander, it would be nice to like fight in a planets shadow. :wink: Symphony of Construction: Filippo.zp wrote: Nakamura wrote:Is the someone who realized changes between 743 and 744?

Well, I tried it with 3 players.It worked fine, but my computer started getting laggy near the end, and at the same time, one player retired.Then it went out of sync.Whether it was the frame rate issue again, or the other guy leaving, I don't know.Hopefully the third player leaving caused it, and we do have the "out of sync error" mostly fixed. jrgador: wow greati have oldhoweworld and HW caly and HW 2 nowbutI hearn't yet HW3...

ALC: @Beghins Hey Beghins, would you kindly change the MAC alternative download mirror from filefront which will only allow a download on a PC to some other host like Moddb, which will allow a download from a Mac. There is little point in having an alternative Mac mirror which doesn't work on a mac :) Bladyrunner: Very thank for this mod. This game is immortal. Best strategy game forever :) soraff: OMG!!! great work xD~ i need helppp~ i dont know how to install this big fill on my mac.. is there anyone know how to do it.. i have HW2 v1.1 on my mac already.. so what i should do??? insanelymatt: does this work for windows 7 [Alpha]-0mega-: Woohoo new versions.

Oni: propabli corrupted file, alternative download link maibe help. ALC: @aagc14 It works fine on XP, so no worries there. Use a download manager and the alternative link. Downloads from the primary link have frequently been unreliable. Check the completed downloaded file size. For 7.4.4 it should be 334,303,955 bytes.

If you provided this mod so that anyone could download it, you would easily have more people playing/bug testing/fixing it. You could even add "Go Home" links to the installer. I just don't inherently see the point of hiding something in a hidden forum, forcing people to register in order to download it. I have tested the mod, and it is a good mod.. if you have twelve hours to spare to get everything in place. WARDUDE: WOWtalk about anal Er_DoneT: Hello, sorry if I can not read well, speak Spanish, and I am using the Google translator. Using Windows 7, and opening ComplexMod, I put the black window, and returns to desktop without spending anything, is my version of Homeworld2 v1.0, the ruling will probably version but I'm not sure if I can give a solution I would appreciate that, although not too much trouble, and I do not understand English, do not say my name wrong to translate the post. A greeting. Masakary: You need 1.1 english patch, not v1.0 :) then you need to install Complex.

AreusAstarte: The Macintosh File doesn't work. I can download it but somehow the link gets corrupted and the file is damaged... edit: I downloaded it now for the 2nd time and here's what happens: The file SHOULD be completed, because the blue loading bar arrived on the other side ^^ BUT it says it's not finished and keeps downloading. It has now downloaded: "257 of 247 MB" which obviously doesn't make ANY sense... I'll let it load for a little longer but seriously, this is starting to piss me off -.- btw. it's the intern Mirror (http://www.homeworld2complex.com/download/Complex743Mac.zip) The alternative site doesn't even has the file anymore :( doug3216: the upgrade for the hiigarin mothership u know the battle mode one it does not work! Uriel24: I think it does work. You only need to meet the prerequisites. Sopi83: Great mod! Thanks, team! doug3216: the battle mode can be built but it dose not fire or attack. you NEED to fix this vila: Don't forget that if you want to use the heavy ion cannon or nukes you have to Z-key them. DaMan234: Can some one please reupload the mac version? The links are broken. ALC: The main homeworld2complex website seems to be down at the moment and the File Planet mirror never worked for the Mac version. The main link may become available again shortly. We can hope that the downtime may mean that an update is on the way! Barman1942: Are there any alternate download links for the mod? I'm only getting around 30kb/s from the download on the front page. It shouldn't take me two hours to download 300MB =/. JCookiemonster: Hmmmm.....having problems downloading Complex 7. Server keeps reseting. Any ideas on how to overcome this issue? :( ALC: Have you tried both download links? I've just tested them now: 575 kb/s from Moddb - downloades in about 8mins 45 kb/s from complex server which speeded up to 103kb/s after Moddb download finished. Slower but a steady connection. Neither download dropped the connection. Beastie: Wow, just found this mod after not playing Homeworld for a couple of years, looks awsome. Downloading now...:) ALC: Welcome to the Forum. Enjoy 744 :) Complex 8 is on the way too. Aeshi: The 7.4.3 Download links are dead by the way. ALC: You are correct. The fileplanet link is indeed dead. However, the direct link is still functioning. lmsmi1: Linky to Complex 7.4.4 On Cnet THECREATOR49: I honestly just want the files. I don't need a self-installer, I know what I'm doing. ALC: @THECREATOR49 You could download the Complex Tool Pack. It has a Data folder from version 7 in it if I remember correctly. CHIMAS: ALC, Hi and happy new year. My doubt: I've donwloaded 7.4.4 and I've found the PDF too resumed. Do you know where I can get more explanations from previous versions of COMPLEX?

It's going to take me a good 2 and a half hours to download :/ Hawawaa: 30mins! YES! (get a download accelerator (for me download accelerator plus does the business) Thanks for all the hard work and thanks beta testers for killing bugs and testing!

Sqelson: Haven't been playing HW2 complex since 7.4, I can't wait 47 minutes for it to download!:( Olantigh: the link i got was so slow at 65k that the server reset itself after 2hours 15 mins (but the download takes 2hours 30 mins minimum?) so i'm screwed... and a so called "download acelerator plus" decided to destroy my internet connection, so much of my day didnt go quite so well as everyone else? any suggestions (including someone in the uk actually whacking it on disk and mailing to me? or perhaps doing a naughty thing and dumping a link on moddb? at least i could get 216k then?) its such a large file that doing a link off here just doesn't work for me...waiting two years for this- can't believe that something as small as this can possibly stop downloading this file? :( Sqelson: Yes, I can easily install homeworld 2 with its patch in far less time than complex. Complex does revamp and add alot though, so it isn't small.:wink: The only advice I can think of is to try again and maybe get a better connection? If it still goes on then you'll probably have to wait for a Mod DB or something, sorry.:( [UF] KillZone: You should put your downloads on Torrent to make it fast and easy for everyone.

(the only other way is to bribe sqelson to pop something in the post for me as he only lives twos hours away from me...naughty me.) paisis123: interesting , but is there another link for the downloads? we should have multiple mirrors for downloads this way is not as 62 kB per second that is happening to me. CHIMAS: Before anything, I'd Like to say a huge "thank you" to the Complex team - Directors, Designers, Testers and colaborative community in general. Some new stuff already make it worthy. Congrats! Please, don't get pissed, this is really to bug you a little, but "I think I saw WALL-E" ehehehheh. And don't bother to change it, it is cool the way it is. I'm just making fun out of it.

Now there's a torrent around and it's corrupted, this can compromise Complex itself, not all regulary comes here to be updated on last releases. I recommend to break that torrent, the 8.1 will be on-line in 6 hours. Also bugs discovered here http://complex.mastertopforum.com/complex-8-bug-tread-vt2887.html will be fixed darkhelmet: You don't need to apologize, especially considering all the work you and everyone else has done with a decade old game.

Use a download accelerator, or download via torrent. Hagen: I encountered some strange ship behavior earlier today on a 1v1 AI. I attacked with 2 BS, 2BC on a Vaygr Command Fortress and when the Ion Cannons of the BC's hit it, it started moving with extreme speed (almost 600m/s, mostly between 400m/s-500m/s) towards the BC that hit first...I should not mention that 1 hit destroyed all my ships from where it passed, but it also made some nice pirrouettes before it finally exploded. It seemed like it got berserk when that mere BC (no matter it had 460exp) dared to hit it and decided to punish it disobeying the rules of good behavior... :lol: Another less minor incident is when my BS's arrived the enemy Flagship and at some point it also moved fast (not in low HP's, and not THAT fast as the CF - like 150m/s)and healed itself 20% of its lost HP. I thought it happened because it left some defensive module's range but there was only 1 guardian near it.

'Easy' AIs get me killed all the time though. because of either me being lame or bugs. I think i will be able to adjust some settings later to fit my taste. A stupid question: is this ok to just install 8.1 over 8.0 w/o doing anything else? Uriel24: You should delete \Homeworld2\Data\Complex80.big(or was it Complex8.big)? Also, all the installation instructions are shown when you start the installation. Skandalos: Great stuff. Like always big fun gameplay. The musical score is just .... wow!! I like how you covered a bunch of great old game sound tracks. And it fits so perfectly, makes a really awesome experience. HolimS: great job y'all ! there's just one thing that disturbs me: why must the larger Hiigaran vessels earn XP before building enormous weapons (especially the BC) ?... If I remember correctly, the Vaygr ships do not need Xp to build anything... which makes them really faster in base development -well, faster than the Hiigarans, at least. Plus, it forces me to choose the Vortex more than the BC or BS when I play them. But it's not really a problem since the Vortex is definetely a Weapon of Mass Destruction... ^^ Complex 8.1 is a must-have, thx again for the good work !:D darkhelmet: Finally got this installed and everything looks nice after 6 hours of play. My questions: 1. Is there a specific place to post bugs???So far the only one I found was for the Shuttle - when I set it to lay mines they trail out of the deployer (or whatever the mechanism is called) and hit the bottom of the Shuttle and explode. As such no mines get laid just the Shuttle takes its own damage. 2. Also how come as a Hiigaran I can't find where to build the good ole Battlecruiser? The AI had no problem showing up with 3 and destroying my Mothership in a matter of seconds :( 3. Is there a manual or post for all the new ships - the choices are almost mind boggling and kind of hard knowing what to build first? 4. Oh and the Outpost seems kinda useless other than providing radiation protection. The guns take forever to destroy even a Flak Frigate. And no way to move or upgrade the Outpost? Seems kinda useless. Again, thanks for all the hard work!

Here is my mirror ;) http://ul.to/45ctqwjv Olantigh: Numrollen's mirror page not found error 404 or premium at £4.99...and yes norton blocked that one too! only downloaded c8.1 6 times today and had it deleted everytime? :x i've got to the point of trying to save it to an external drive and failed, next iv'e tried to save it to memory stick and failed, i've tried turning nortons sensitivity down and everytime i've tried to download this file it just gets deleted everytime...what the hell is on c8.1 for norton to hate so much? its starting to drive me mad! its either that or i unsubsribe to norton...coz i'm screwed? there must be someone out there that knows what to do... Uriel24: That's why i hate residential antivirus software. They do their work fine, but they often provide nearly the same functionality as viruses themselves: 1) They are hanging somewhere in your system, doing something, consuming resources. 2) It's often impossible to stop them, only by deletion. 3) They do stuff, ignoring your opinion. 4) They cause random conflicts with other software, and it's hard to find the culprit. Olantigh: ok i think ive got this one to work... i tweaked norton (go to antivirus, real time protection, auto protection off, sonar protection off and then switch them back on after the download) and saved the game off the main harddrive onto a stick for backup. the program doesnt like this and says your computer is open to attack so i did this for the last five minutes of downloading- it didnt seem to do any damage and c8.1 seems to work although i dont have time tonight to play a game...if this doen't work i'll let everyone know- and if anyone else has the same problems perhaps this info here might help someelse... see how it goes :? Numrollen: ? my DL link work and there is no virus :) its the official file, nothing changed. Olantigh: no its norton being a right pain in the a**, its not you Numrollen- i'm really sorry if i implied that- the solution i came up with though is starting to back fire as i'm being attacked left right and center from alsorts of unknown attackers- so i might have to reset norton back to its original settings...bummer? for some strange reason it thought that c8.1 was a virus? and then anything to do with complex was an attack on this computer? its strange what it filters out and lets through? and the pain of it all is the help link on the program doesnt work either- saying the website is of medium risk too and tries to delete its own website? i've got no idea whats going on there but it does have regular updates? so how does that work i wonder? i gave up years ago...and if one phones the help line all they want is to sell you the next version not really helping at all... if anyone else has the same problem and find a proper solution post it on here and see if it occurs again- any help is better than nothing at all. ALC: Numrollen's link does indeed work fine. Note: Team can only vouch for the official download of complex. ALC: Fyi: I get a steady download speed of ~80 kbps from the complex server. File size is 570,751,170 bytes for Complex 8.1. lord_combine: Theres a BUG: Missle Bomber- are Selfdestructing while attacking with missiles :( there a bug report forum or something?

Pogs: Hello, I'm new to this mod, the only mod I really ever played and loved was the old PDS mod back in the day. Looking to get back into the game though with the new amazing mods on offer. I am downloading 8.1 currently, and was curious if any of the existing content is updated at all, such as textures, effects, models, etc? I'm sure I'll find out, but thought I'd ask in case it wasn't immediately apparent. Thanks and nice work from what I've seen! ALC: Hi. Welcome to the forum. You will find that almost all of the existing content —meaning vanilla Homeworld 2— has been modified. additionally, there are many new ships and gameplay modes. Enjoy :) Pogs: Thank you for the kind welcome and the reply! From what I've been reading, this mod seems almost too good to be true, insane detail and variety always sits well for me. I'm very excited to play this :) Edit: holy mackerel there's a lot of detail! I was right to be excited!

I tried so many space simulators all these years and none can bring me the joy I have with this one. The last game I tried was X3: Albion Prelude (Terran Conflict) and again I'm disappointed with almost everything.

Agent X: @McCloud: thanks for the tip, i had tried to download it overnight (it was already late evening when i posted) but i was still cut off. i'll give it one more try if it doesnt work i'll get downthemall for FF. P.S. once i have it downloaded i'll re-upload to my media fire account and post a link here so you guys can get it more quickly. Rooney: FYI, I downloaded 8.1 at my local coffee shop/internet cafe. No issues with installation or gameplay so far. Using download accelerator plus, the entire download took about 55 minutes (more or less). Will the upgrade that will be issued on the 27th be in the form of a patch or a full multimeg download? Many, many thanks to Beghins and the rest of the design team. ALC: Upgrade is likely to be a full download. ALC: Agent X wrote:is it possible to make a torrent version or somethingWe discourage torrents and the like until a fully satisfactory version is completed. There is no objection to torrents though. Rooney: @ ALC: Thanks.... Great excuse to amble into my caffeination station and settle in for a while... :D ALC: gotta keep those caffeine levels maintained...

Knight of Ravens: Is it possible for someone to share or post the extracted version of the Complex823.big file? As far as I can tell, there's no way to make any extraction program work with 64-bit Windows 7, as registering the .ocx files is apparently impossible. It's quite frustrating being unable to mod the game at all. Sagyxil: Just keep a copy of the *.ocx (and/or *.dll) files in the same directory as the executable you are trying to run.

ALC: I think you mean 8.2.4 Log is here: http://complex.mastertopforum.com/8-2-3-gt-8-2-4-dev-log-vt430.html DrysonB: I just received my HomeWorld 2 CD in the mail today. A fresh unopened and working key. It has been patched and I am uploading the Complex Mod as I write. It is also very curious and a somewhat unrelenting feeling that in the CD Key sequence one set of the key is MAN6. In religious terms MAN has seemingly been given the number six. I am not certain what such a sequence is meant to invoke. But it seems that a possible new entity has arrived with the shipment. Someone had better check the transport that it came in on for any signs of viral contagions. I will let you know what I think of the Mod come Monday. Complex Module delivery status is at 24.25 minutes away....and counting. I can almost see the sun reflecting off of the transport command bridge canopy. Edit : Okay its installed and running. Although I did get a message about my vide card drivers being obsolete. Not possible since this is a new machine. I absolutely love the Mod and I only played it for about five minutes.

I'm downloading it now (at last) and can't wait to play the new version & map(s). Grazie mille di tutto! Ciao! Hawawaa: Getting my ass kicked on expert. Thats my normal difficulty, good work! ALC: @Hawawaa Glad to hear that the AI can finally kick ass :D Nakamura: 8.3.1 is out, with new bugfixes (flashing screen mostly), and interface improvements. Enjoy. ALC: 8.3.1 is a full installer, so download size is 639,517,832 bytes. Available in Windows version only. I'm getting a steady speed of 174 kbps on my current download test. Mettler: Nice to know the flashing has been fixed! :) How soon will 8.3.1 be up on moddb? I'm getting a super slow download from here. :( PublicEnemyN7: @Mettler use http://www.downthemall.net/ for firefox. downloads at full speeds here HK6207: Thanks a lot! :D Uriel24: For those who still have Complex8.3.exe installer: I've made a diff patch that will update it to 8.3.1. Unpack the archive into the Complex8.3.exe's directory, run the .bat file. It will generate a Complex8.3.1.exe in the same directory, you install it and play. Patch's size is 5mb only. Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?e6iudi6c8i7eih6 ALC: Thanks Uriel24, that's very useful :) jortony: Thanks again Uriel24, nice addition. I am curious about how you did this.

I want to thank the Beghins team.I would buy this game if you guys package it and sell it.I wish you would make Homeworld 3, I think you guys could more then pull it off. Delicious Cake: Another good example of why it would be incredibly helpful if patches for these small updates were released at the same time alongside the full installer. Anyone kind enough to provide the updated ai folder and ai.lua from 8.3.2?:lol: Uriel24: A 8.3.2 diff patch on mediafire. Patches your 8.3 or 8.3.1 installer to 8.3.2.

ALC: Thanks Uriel :) I'm sure people will find this useful. GrimCreaper: Minor possible issue with ModDB, when using Desura, it will only download 7.4.4. cant get any other version with it which makes me sad :(Im not sure if this is a toggle you may need to check or something through moddb Also, thank you very much for your continued hard work. I love this mod very much :) Noktovizor_Pl: Hey, I do not know about you but I'm late with downloading the latest 8.3.3 Complex now and says you have to pay it for free either on my eyes is not right or something wrong language?:evil: Alewx: Looks like the normal download link at the landing page is broken, this only affects the 8.3.3 Version download. Noktovizor_Pl: Exactly and I want to download the latest version so what's dalczego as I click it shows me this page? Pay pal in Italian. ALC: @Noktovizor_Pl I don't get the payment request page. It shouldn't be there. Complex is a free download. However, the link is broken. I'll get it fixed as soon as possible. Meanwhile, best to use the Modb link. zsuriam: Same here, download link directs me to italian paypal site:lol: Unfortunately mirrors on moddb are also broken.:( Beghins: no ModDB works, who wants download without donation can download from ModDB for free (about 7 mirrors). Alewx: So everyone who wants to download from here direct, has to pay? ALC: Beghins wrote:no ModDB works, who wants download without donation can download from ModDB for free (about 7 mirrors).This raises the question of torrent and file host mirrors which are put up be members and posted in this thread. What will be the future status of such links? @zsuriam ModDB link does work, testing it now. It's coming in at 1.0 MB/sec. The download link on ModDB is not terribly intuitive. Click on the 'Complex 8.3.3' title under the movies. This will bring you to the gamefront host page. You will need cookies On and you might need your pop-up blocker Off. Alewx: So just that I do understand this correct, it is said that Complex would be free, while at the same time it is not possible at the complex site to download the mod without "Dontation"? That way it really looks like a payment. Nakamura: Beghins, you have to fix that ASAP, this is a violation of copyrights. Beghins: Quote: Beghins, you have to fix that ASAP, this is a violation of copyrights. No, sorry, there's no violation, mod is free and you can get it everywhere, but not from my server/band that I pay. Nakamura: This is a joke and very unprofessional. ALC: Beghins wrote:mod is free and you can get it everywhere, but not from my server/band that I pay.I don't follow your logic here. What incentive is there for someone to pay to download (via an Italian language PayPal link (lots of people don't use PayPal, especially those under 18)(many others wouldn't necessarily understand Italian)) when the mod is available without payment at a greater download speed elsewhere? Alewx: Maybe he has enough of complex and wants to kill the mod? I can't understand this, because license holders are not intressted in what you tell but in what they see at a download. THQ is holding the Homeworld licenses and because they have financial trouble, they better not get any eye at this link. Publishers are not known for their kindness... ALC: Beghins wrote:No, sorry, there's no violationEr. Are you sure about this bit? Beghins: Yes I'm sure Alewx: Beghins wrote:Yes I'm sure I just can't do anything else than:D:D:D:D Officials will smash that to the ground. ALC: Beghins wrote:Yes I'm sureFair enough. At the risk of quoting myself, what about this bit? Quote:I don't follow your logic here. What incentive is there for someone to pay to download (via an Italian language PayPal link (lots of people don't use PayPal, especially those under 18)(many others wouldn't necessarily understand Italian)) when the mod is available without payment at a greater download speed elsewhere? I think that charging for the download could be counterproductive at this stage. Beghins: For me is in english, anyway anyone can choice if download from ModDB, Megagames, Fileplanet and so on, but maybe someone understand that to donate 1, 2 or more dollars/euros is the way to incentive the project and the next release. Alewx: Beghins wrote:For me is in english, anyway anyone can choice if download from ModDB, Megagames, Fileplanet and so on, but maybe someone understand that to donate 1, 2 or more dollars/euros is the way to incentive the project and the next release. And how should someone without an forum account know that? There is only the "paid" link to paypal, and no word about free and other places for download. So this just looks like trying to make the ppl who wants do download it pay for it. You have to take the perspektive of an user that is not already part of this for several years, because that is the view of the publishers, and that is the direction where trouble will come from. rorik: Moddb says to me this last 3 days: "The file you have selected (Complex833.exe) is not available via any mirrors. Please check back shortly as our servers update every 5 minutes. To access more download mirrors we encourage you to join the community, otherwise please be patient and keep trying." after i logged in it says: @The file you have selected (Complex833.exe) is not available via any mirrors.

Way is there no real Free link at the official Site, why is there no link to moddb or the others? Because you want to force the people to pay for it. But it is fine, just do what you do, as long as you can live with the consequences. I believe the reactions here will show how this will end. ALC: Beghins wrote:but maybe someone understand that to donate 1, 2 or more dollars/euros is the way to incentive the project and the next release.I think, for clarity, that you ought to explain this above the first link, that it leads to a paypal page where a donation can be made. @rorik ModDb link works for me. Tested it yesterday, and again just now. However, the official link now leads to here: http://www.homeworld2complex.com/ rorik: Again: "The file you have selected (Complex833.exe) is not available via any mirrors. Please check back shortly as our servers update every 5 minutes." May be it shows only for russian ip's... DanielBrasil: Hey rorik: same thing here, it's strange tried both complex and rearm. about the link, below the complex download it says that you can dowload from mod db, and that is an option, but beghins can have problems if they see the paid download, and think of complex is paid. ALC: I had a look. Apparently the reason for this message is because the ModDB server is updating its download mirrors. kha29096335: Weeks ago I donated 24 Euros to your project, because i think that a great work must be rewarded. I was a happy and supportive Complex user, but i don't like this new direction, sorry. I doubt this barely can be called donations any more, it would be more like a payment for many people. Time will tell that consecuences this will have in mod popularity, but i can talk for me and tell you I have changed from a very happy user to a disgusted one. I know, it may be the donations were few in number or quantity but for me it was worth to donate from time to time, now i feel forced to... and i don't like very much this feeling. Just my opinion on this subject. Oh, and the MODDB link, as stated by others, do not work, i get this window every time: Best regards. iTalos: Moddb files from Russian ip not downloaded!:evil: Heanschenklein10: Beghins, If you want the people to pay for your server then please ask them to do so and don't force them. Many of them didn't use the original download link since the speed is for an unknown reason very slow if you don't have an accelerator. Maybe ask for donations on your main page if you have money problems. Give the people who don't know complex or are at least not a forum member a clear explanation. Maybe you can give a link to the complex page on moddb. edit: for all the russian members: this should workhttp://www.gamefront.com/files/files/22697362/Complex833.exe edit: corrections kha29096335: Heanschenklein10 wrote:Beghins, If you want the people to pay for your server then please ask them to do so and don't force them.

Alewx: Donation means it is an option not a constraint, but the way it is now, it is not a donation. So I'm really intressted in the consequences the this will have, and can totally understand the ppl like Kha29096335. Looks like I'm one of a few luckys where the download link from ModDB works, but Thanks to Hanschenklein10 for the direct link at gamefront. By the way, Merry Christmas to all out there.

To raise that percentage rate I think the following must occur: Release the Map Editor used to create maps for Homeworld Complex so new maps can be generated by the users. A tutorial on how to use the map editor. ALC: DrysonB wrote:Release the Map Editor used to create maps for Homeworld Complex so new maps can be generated by the users.Complex maps are hand-coded. Beghins: OK the alternative link of Gamefront is posted in the first post of this thread, so now there are 2 working free download options, even a direct link to the forum has been added on the main site, and people always have downloaded at this way from here (never from the main site), I think it's enough now.

I love this game and beghins brain, and will pay to see it work some more. Alewx: postman wrote:my opinion: since Complex 9 is a major breakthrough, we should pay for it.

I understand it is your opinion, but it is always an issue with paying for things on the internet, what about the people who aren't able to, I am one of them and it is very frustrating Keep in mind there are always ways to pay for things on the internet - if you don't have a bank account or a debit card or credit card, you can always use cash to buy pre-paid cards through most banks and almost every single major retailer. Likewise, I believe paypal also allows purchase of pre-paid paypal cards. "Unable to pay for things on the internet" isn't a very good excuse, unless you're truly broke, or young enough to not have work or access to payment methods like bank accounts. If that's the case, I understand how you feel - but remember that there are ALWAYS alternatives. ALC: A lot of younger people play games such as HW2, the notion that these persons mightn't have access to online payment systems isn't necessarily "not a very good excuse" imo. Cut them some slack. jackal2002: Same here the donation page is in italian so i dont understand it and how to proceed. ALC: @jackal2002 No need to learn Italian, use one of the alternative links ;) http://www.moddb.com/mods/homeworld-2-complex http://www.gamefront.com/files/files/22697362/Complex833.exe http://megagames.com/mods/homeworld-2-complex-v833 Imglidinhere: I've been playing the Complex mod for a rather long time now. Since 08' and when I get bored of the new games after so long... I find my way back here as always. You guys are the people that these new game devs should be looking at. Has Relic Entertainment ever said anything to you guys? Commented on your mod? :D Would be kinda cool in my book. :D Farcrada: If you've followed the news you know that Relic is broke and has been taken ove by THQ, now THQ is broke. Currently the Homeworld License is for sale. Besides that, there has been 1 Relic memeber here... But I believe that was a long time ago. He/she did say he/she liked the mod, and probably helped a bit. Besides that, not much people from Relic have revealed themselves in public on this forum.

WarHawk: It looks great, nice work guys. Theres not many games i keep playing so much time after the original game release. I would like to submit a donation but im out of job from may 2012 and at this time i really can't do it. Bravo Beghins, Bravo DEV team. Kaskad: When I try to save the game crashes. After about 15-20 minutes of the game and during the battle the game crashes. In what could be the problem? Pupazz: Known bug fixed in 8.4.2, however when I try to find 8.4.2 I'm just led around in circles of "you can download here".:p Dom_01: I think at the moment you have to make a minimum €5 donation to be able to download the file from the Complex team's server. Hopefully new download locations will be available soon. :D KGTM: Greetings. First, I'm glad to see you guys are back and running, been trying to come here as usual, but somehow you phpBB forum had some MySql problem. Well good to see you guys are up and running again. I don't know if many of you knew but Complex 8.4.1 has a bug causing it to crash whenever you try to save a skirmish game. I've tried several variations of the game I was trying to save, and in all times Complex crashed and couldn't save, the gujking shipyard was docking lots of fighters and corvettes. This could be the reason, I do not know for sure. Whenever I tried to save without docking with the gujking I had no problems. (If you want I can post the save game, and instruct how to replicate the situation.) (Dump files are present in the links bellow, didn't posted mine, because they contained the same information with small variations like installation paths, etc, no need to repeat.) To tell the truth this is the firstbug I've experienced with Complex since I started playing it, version 7. And I played it on both Windows and Linux machines without a hitch, I don't know how you guys and girls make it possible, but it is very surprising since Homeworld wasn't programmed thinking about anything else besides Windows. Anyway, I was looking to know if anyone has experienced the issue mentioned with 8.4.2, or if the development team is aware and has fixed this problem in the new version? Thanks and Good Dev days. PS: No, this is not the bug where Complex crashes during battle after few minutes as mentioned before. This is another bug. Note: 8.4.1 crash on save forum threads http://complex.mastertopforum.com/crash-to-desktop-on-vp50047.html http://complex.mastertopforum.com/here-vp49955.html#49977 Beghins: Bugs in 8.4.1 have been fixed (the terrible save bug too), just wait for MoDB, 8.4.2 is uploaded, only needs authorization. Pls report any other bugs in 8.4.2, but I think now the release should be very stable. KGTM: This is great news. I will download it soon and give it a go, then I will be able to resume my skirmish and better see the new changes implemented, the support frigate and new ship class organization, among others. Really good idea by the way. Well, terrific piece of art you people have made, great work. I will be waiting for Complex 9. Good luck :) rojosedano: I do not get complex 8.4.2 download. What happens???? :evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::twisted: paulobj: I also could not download yet. At ModDB, displays the message: "The file you have selected (Complex842.exe) is not available via any mirrors." Pupazz: It's working for me on ModDB right now. Give it another go :) pikokk: moddb.com download dont work!:twisted: Patch: Jeah, Moddb sucks. Now i can't download the file even with explorer, which workd for the previous release. I think they are directing us to download that desura thing. But i have a solution, my work for others: Click the desura button instead of download, then the blue button in the window, close the window and the normal download link will work. I think the site belives we have desura installed. Crapy site...

It is insane for a low connection to download and manage 814,411,523 bytes again. Please. ALC: Has anyone put up a torrent of 8.4.2 yet? Nakamura: You might want to remove the 8.4.1 downloads from the first post, as it was a rather bugged release. And btw, the main site doesn't lead you to 8.4.3 .... it leads you to 8.4.2 Dom_01: This is not a moan (honest) just an observation. I was happy to make a donation to the project because I've clocked many hours playing this great mod. The donation also gives me the advantage to download new releases from the Complex server before they are made available via other links. As per the homeworld2complex.com site "at this way you have a fast and secure link" I don't get speeds over 150 KB/sec. I don't think you/one can claim this to be "fast" :-) It takes over 2 hours to download a new release from the Complex server, and my first attempt to download 8.4.3 crashed with 20 minutes to go.:cry: If that's the speeds that are available, then fair enough. But i don't think you should call it fast, it's not. Edited for typos.

Terry543: Hi, is there any player menu for the 8 series? I dont know how to manage my power. DrysonB: Why not take one of the roid models that were created by the Complex Team and turn it into a planet sized model where players would have to go around the planet to get at the opponent? Shouldn't be that hard to increase the size of the roids used in the asteroid belts to the size of a planet and then add new textures. DrysonB: Beghins, I suggest adding instructions to the Mod making the Mod Release a Zip file so subscribers will know how to install the mod. The reason I say this is because I installed the Mod a few nights ago but the icon did not appear on the desktop like it should have per the instructions. I was also not able to find any executable file to launch Homeworld in any file either. I uninstalled Homeworld several times and then reinstalled it completely 1.1 patch and all but nothing to ado was seen from the Homeworld Complex Mod. RaybanMonster: Phwahahahahaaaa NO!

I realize you put a lot of time into this, and feel like you are owed something. Making mods is about making the game the way you want to see it, this is an OLD game, and you already have the status of being one of the largest most comprehensive mods ever for the game.Don't ruin it now. If you made something truly good, you have to have faith that it will be worth it.I never forced anyone to pay for the EX MOD (can't compare it to this, but its still a mod that was bigger then most)You know how many people donated for my efforts in that mod?Which btw was reviewed in PC GAMER magazine?Zero, Zilch, Nada.... But that didn't stop me from putting it on my Resume, and now have what most would consider a dream job in the IT field. It took about 5 years, but it was worth it. You should take satisfaction in the fact that no one will probably ever make anything for this game that will even come close to this effort.You made the mod to end all mods in HW2. The question now is, can you turn Minecraft (or some other game) into Homeworld 3 eXcalibur1234: the trailer says that complex will be released on november 20. this means, we still have to wait a little. the link to paypal is only for downloading from this forum. the mod will be uploaded to moddb as well. you can download it there for free! there is a new homeworld game called "homeworld:shipbreakers". we will see how much of a homeworld game it really is and whether it will be mod-able. cgdobrev: Just want to say, 9.0.1 is easily downloadable from moddb. Banelord: Sad to see that the keepers didnt make it to 9.0:( . Battlemaster: It's so great! I was waiting for this moment long time! Huge thanks to Complex team members for input into epic universe of the Homeworld!

I can't download it from ModDB either, and trying to install it via Desura never works. By the way, I'm not sure if there has been a change with this version or not, but PLEASE for the love of god offer an option to completely disable nebula/sun damage. This damage absolutely kills the enjoyable experience on my favourite maps that I used to play on previous versions.

It's that completely max unit cout? If yes, it's possible to somehow increas it? ALC: You can increase it by editing the population.lua file, if I remember it correctly. Battlemaster: Thank you ALC for reply. If it's not hard, could someone say, what exacly should I change, and in which exact file, after I decompres big. archive. ALC: There are some threads on it, in this forum, I think: http://complex.mastertopforum.com/installation-configuration-technical-problems-vf60.html You don't need to decompress the .big, you can use the files in the Complex tool pack and load them into the game using overridebig, similar to running an extra map. Battlemaster: Thank you very much again ALC :D In case of future question, I will make thread in support forum. xxxxxx: 9.1 was releaed! But where are the FX Features? The new explosions and the new ships and bases?! :-( Iam very sad. I thoughed 9.1 will have it all...especially becuase Beghins said 9.1 will be the last version of the homworld complex mod! facc00: I am trying to download through moddb however it seems to not be available.I have been watching for a few hours. Battlemaster: So... the last relice. What guys you gona do next? ALC: 9.1 will likely be up on moddb in the next few days. facc00: Thanks Ill keep an eye out for it! M3usV0x: I wanted to inform Beghins that his special email to paying contributors was fouled up last night. It seems he sent out two emails, one of which had no download link, the other was a mirror for Complex 9.0.1! It maxes out at about 150k, on a good night, ergo I waited about two hours for the download to complete. It was the wrong file.:| Beghins: I'm sorry. Now the file is correct. Shininglight: Sorry to ask if it already has been but I was wondering if a version for Mac is available yet? ALC: A mac version is not yet available. There hasn't been a new Mac version for a while, I do not know when or if there will be a Mac version of Complex 9.1. ssechaud: This is the actual link to the mirrors for 9.1 - http://www.moddb.com/downloads/start/61668/all It's seems that the download links to the latest files are being made hard to find as they are not clearly listed anywhere, and in fact the only clear download link takes you to PayPal with no prior indication that is the destination. If you are being up front and honest at least change the link to say donate instead of download. Otherwise it's just plain shady. Thanks. ALC: ssechaud wrote:It's seems that the download links to the latest files are being made hard to find as they are not clearly listed anywhereRegarding the moddb link, I think it's rather more of an oversight that the initial link to Complex is still to v9.0.1 rather than to 9.1, as opposed to a deliberate attempt to hide the file and force people to download the 9.0.1 version.. I do not have access to the moddb page, so I cannot change it. nathakorn: Complex Mod is not free anymore? ALC: Complex is available as a free download from moddb. ospreyhawk: lot of pepole think the mac version cant be devellop because the new lion system cant use powerPC app but it is false: take an USB key and install the snow leopard sytem , lunch you computeur with the key (while opening press "alt" and you will see a screen where you can chose you basic disk or your key) and now play your favourite game and stock everything on the main storage disk:wink: . so the devs MUST continue the mac version ALC: Potential issues with later versions of OSX are not the reason that a Mac version is not yet available—the Devs just haven't yet created a Mac version. Incidentally, recent Macs will no longer boot under Snow Leopard. SeriousJackson: Big Thx for that great Mod :D The Best Mod for Homeworld 2 Good Work Guys :wink: Edit : Big Thx to all guys that spend so much time and Work in to the Mod :D S.Turtle: Uhm... what annoys slightly is that you have to choose between matches that either go for "Destroy Mothership" or "Destroy All". The good old "Destroy Production" has been removed which means that (especially in matches against CPU) either the game will end prematurely (because they don't really defend Mothership well) or (almost) never because you have to hunt down every little spy and probe and collector... :x Also (i think) the amount of players for map "Solar System" is too small, by size and resources that map would easily support 6 (or more, but hey) players. Not sure if this was the right place to post this, but uhm well... would be nice if you guys could work this out and release a version that would improve those things(?) Anyways thanks for easily the most awesome mod ever, and for first making Homeworld 2 into the game that it should have been from the start and by release, and then taking it beyond that line even. ALC: @Turtle Thanks for your feedback. You have some good suggestions there—right place to post—more than 6 players on the Sol map would be nice, but 6 is the limit of the game engine, I believe. Hunting down all those probes and errant collectors is indeed a nuisance!

Hagen: So this mod is abandonned... richard_cypher: It's not abandoned, They are waiting for the HW remastered that gear box is making. They want to see if the new engine will be any good for mods. If it is they will continue the mod on the new release, according to the Complex website. I have faith in GearBox to do the remastered version right. The head of the Company spearheaded the acquisition of The Homeworld title and I paraphrase "I want it to be as close to the original game that we all loved". There may also be a Collectors edition with a number of possible goodies. So look forward to that. worth a look http://kotaku.com/in-which-i-overreact-to-the-homeworld-remake-box-art-1537398689 quote form the Complex website Quote:This is the first release of the 9 series, and the decade for the Complex Mod. Many additions to the game, new units, new features and better graphical aspect, but the more important improvements have been done on stability, gameplay and performance. Every duplicate ship/subsystem have been removed, redundant functions cleaned, lagging scripts revisited, a lot of bugs fixed. The game has been balanced to reach the better space battle experience.

I have faith in GearBox to do the remastered version right. The head of the Company spearheaded the acquisition of The Homeworld title and I paraphrase "I want it to be as close to the original game that we all loved". There may also be a Collectors edition with a number of possible goodies.

I had bought the original HW2 in retail box 10 years ago, will I have to pay again to get the remastered edition as well? Saturnix: Hello, the download link is not working. ALC: Oh, you're right Moddb link is down. We'll look into that! Saturnix: ALC wrote:Oh, you're right Moddb link is down. We'll look into that! Seems like it is working now.

Cheers! shilum: yea the link is saying its down again http://www.moddb.com/mods/homeworld-2-complex/downloads/complex-901 ALC: Moddb issues. It should fix itself... lazer72: So if Homeworld 2 Remastered is compatible, will you try to port Complex? I guess you'd have to redo all textures and models for 4K. Pretty big job. At Least this mod isn't dead. I hope it never will be. :) ALC: lazer72 wrote:So if Homeworld 2 Remastered is compatible, will you try to port Complex?Probably. darci663: Amazon is showing a Release Date: December 31, 2015. We have to wait around for over a year to see if this may or may not port over? If it doesn't you are calling it quits??? Pitiful...Reminds me of the 3DO. Oh well, Elite is coming out soon...Time for a new hobby I guess! ALC: darci663 wrote: ...are you calling it quits??? !Quits? no. Complex will continue. armin: Seems install package is broken i get CRC errors. ALC: Could you be more specific? Installer works ok for me. armin: ALC wrote:Could you be more specific? Installer works ok for me. Some people on moddb report that they got CRC reports from the installer. Could someonemake a torrent file as backup version? ALC: The error may be due to an incomplete download. The 9.1 file is 895,319,629 bytes in size. My current service provider doesn't allow torrents unfortunately, so can't help there. Numrollen: Several questions: 1. does complex do anything other then put the big file in it? When i try other mods, i dont have sounds, only music. 2. is there any good way for vaygr to transport a big fleet? On big maps only hyperjump is possible, on hiigaran side there is the big one. 3. hiigaran have far more options and features (level up battleships, space station,ships, atomic bombs...).On very big maps for me Hii are advanced but im not a pro. Is there a story behind that? ALC: Answers (as far as I know!): 1. Just the .big file is installed. 2. There is no big transport for Vaygr 3. Hiigaran have more features because they have been the focus of additions so far. Also it is the Hiigaran ethos, more micromanagement. Vaygr tend to have more integrated systems on their fleets. They are a more 'basic' race. Numrollen: Thx ALC, helpful as always. ;) 2.Vgr Sinner would be a perfect transporter. ATM i dont see the point for this ship. It can produce but there are cheaper ones out there. There is too much micro for transporting stuff around with Vaygr. Perhaps the "upgrade for faster repair" should upgrade also the slots availible on all ships. 3. That ok with micro and basic. But both should have some specials for the endgame. Hiigaran have fast super capital and more. If the basic Vaygr shouldnt have micros, then they should have the opposit. Yes their best super capital is a beast but slow and wont stand against all the features Higg have. Its very easy to destroy his drive and then he is useless. Perhaps with a new class named super duper capitals ;) I will post my ideas when there is a "Complex 10" capter for the new one. I love complex, i like both factions and i will buy the remastered only because of complex. Daniels San: to @Beghins or other admins, Hi, I have been playing complex 9.1 a lot with friends after it released. and I have been translating complex mod for japanese and chinese community 'cause this mod doesn't have other languages version. Also, I bought the newly released Homeworld & Homeworld2 Remastered series last month. so, I tried playing complex mod on "Homeworld2 Remastered" version 1.0 see if it is compatible. At first it keep crashing when i launch the game. then i ask a few modding friends to teach me how to adjust it a bit so that it can load normally. it loads fine now, most of the time. The graphics,lighting,explosion etc in this version are far more beautiful than that of Complex in HW2. however, the game still crashes while too many dustclouds appears/ when playing in multiplayer(sometime) Since i don't have enough knowledge of modding, i don't know how to make it completely compatible with "Homeworld2 Remastered" version. from my community, many teenagers(around 10-20 years old) have heard of Homeworld 2 now because of different new beautiful trailers, videos on utube, advertisement of the remasterted version etc. some of them even bought it like i did. then they have heard of different fun and deep mods (like complex) and want to try it. however it's not too compatible with "Homeworld2 Remastered" version. and it's not easy to find the original Homeworld 2 to buy now. they want to enjoy this mod but it doesnt seem to have an easy way to do so. I wish to help them... however, i don't have enough knowledge to fix the compatibility problem. So , I wish to ask / I wonder, if there will be future release of complex. If there will be, can it be compatible with "Homeworld2 Remastered" too? thanks a lot. (If you need help on translation on japanese and chinese language in future releases, you may send me message find me too. I can provide help and it's completely free of charge) Oni: Well complex 9.1 is not compatible with homeworld remastered. You can play it only on homeworld2 classics. However the classic version is also remastered and is released as patch 1.0. So complex will be also buggy and crashy on homeworld 2 classic because it require patch 1.1 It is kinda confusing i recommend you to simple wait until remastered version of new complex is released.

Which is probably in September this year so about half a year. From experience with software development it is more realistic to expect it to be released around the new year. So far 9.1 worked with my classic HW2 fine. Wintermist: Classic worked for me too, except for the bit with installing the sensor upgrade. grokee: the post reads like 9.1 is available for mac?is this not the case? If so how do we do it? ALC: The last release of Complex for Mac was Complex 8.2.4. grokee: @ALC ThanksIt's been a long time with mac upgrades since I was last able to play complex.Any chance of a refresher how to boot the mod on a mac? Cheers ALC: @grokee The best way to run the Mac version of the mod is to use ModRunner 1.2. See this thread for download. grokee: @ALC That's for PowerPC Macs.Running intel.Its a No Go ALC: Uhh, sorry about that. It's so long since I've used ModRunner... I used to use it on my PB, rather a long time ago. Currently, I run the PC version of the game on Parallels on my Intel Mac! There is also a way of running the PC version natively on the Intel Mac, though it hasn't been tested on later systems. grokee: Any suggestions on how to get it running without the app? ALC: I don't think it can be done. App is the only way I've heard of. jetcutter: So download and install over top of steam bit? DayStar: so i tried to get it off of DB but the file is just titled "Complex91" nothing else but that, try to run it, and it does not work, and honestly refuse to put in 5$ on the paypal right now, so any idea how to fix my db version, or will I HAVE to pay 5$ from that paypal link to get it? Help plz Jelrak: Did you put it in the Homeworld2\Data\ directory? Did you modify your shortcut to include -mod complex91.big ? Oni: You don't need to pay for download just use link from moddb http://www.moddb.com/mods/homeworld-2-complex grokee: Anyone know how to run a Mac mod yet on the new remastered version? ALC: I'm not sure if Mac mods will run on it. ricasmster: -right click on your HomeworldRM shortcut in your desktop -type -mod Complex10.big at the command line Which command line? lazer72: Right click on the shortcut and go to properties. Then go into the Target line and add -mod Complex10.big at the end outside the quotes (with a space) e.g "E:\Program Files\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\Bin\Release\HomeworldRM.exe" -mod Complex10.big zolja: Not work. Program does not register mod at all DoktorD: For those who would have a problem launching with "steam" see the image above: Simply run the shortcut in administrator mode (right click executed in admin) DoktorD: zolja wrote:Not work. Program does not register mod at all You go to "steam" where it finds your game, you make a right click on the one and creates a shortened on the desktop Then this shortcut must be edited "see the instructions of lazer72" 794613: just start the game from the launcher you don't need the mod list (if you have done the shortcut correct) also you can just add (((space))) + "-mod Complex10.big"to the steam launch options for HWR if you have trouble to create the shortcut lazer72: It's up on steam already so it should appear in the mmod list. just wait it can take a while for the list to appear Kitkun: What's the difference between 10 and 10.1? ACHIM KRAFT: Hi all ! I will say many many thanks to Beghins/Patreon and all supporter of this great piece of software. I try to buy the basic software next days from GOG. The updated mod (10.1) is allready dl and wait on my HD for a first test. Greetings Achim fire_angel: Hello all, i've been waiting for complex on HWR for so long ! But i dont understand how you download the mod by steam ... When you open the game, and click on "mods", there are no mods available at all, only a grey area and... nothing... Am i stupid or i missed something ? Must i DL the game from the drive even though i use steam ? Thanks pals ! wint: Go to Steam HW Community Hub,then klick the Workshop button on the top and search for Complex10. Now you can add this Mod to your Gamelibrary . fire_angel: Thank you so much Wint ! You saved my day ! Hobel: why is Complex 10 so Different ? :/ ALC: Progress. Everything evolved. Hagen: Man, I remember playing 7.4.4 back on 2010 or something. Everything is so much different now. Like...different game. You did a big cleanup, so there are no useless ships that noone ever used and now you can customize your ships' turrets. I still miss the elite corvettes though. Also a big cleanup in technologies. I remember nuclear bomb power lvl 3 needed 30k RU's. Also, no Battle Ark, Mothership Battle Asset, Balkaan Ion Cannon etc. What are your plans about these? Will you bring back Battleships, Dreadnoughts etc? zvr: Excuse me but where I can find latest patch notes? rorik: Is there a changelog for 10.3 / 10.4? rorik: And for 10.5? Oni: Ony some bug/crash fixes. The game is same. snigelkotten: I really want the gameplay option to destroy all capital ships not only the mothership to win . is there a way to change this in the game ? :?: Teldrean: I just realised after playing vayger that the sound for building the laser fighter sounds like the announcer is lisping the name cause it sounds like "Laserzzzfighter squadron complete" ricasmster: I did everything, but the game just crash... I dont have steam. It doesn´t appear on the Mods, how do i launch the complex 10? Also, what is about complex 11? Masternode: ricasmster wrote:...how do i launch the complex 10? ... Beghins: and don't forget to place the "locale" folder in your data folder, else the game doesn't work! ricasmster: Still doesn´t work, And evertything it is like instructions, i have the locale and complex in the data folder, and did the modification on command line... but mine is "D:\Homeworld Remastered Collection\HWLauncher\Launcher.exe" -mod Complex1057.big Beghins: go inside your ..\bin\release\homeworldRM.exe do a link of thin application and add the cmd line to it, forget about the hwlauncher ricasmster: Still crash.... can´t understand where i did wrong... When you say, do a link, it is do a shorcut? ricasmster: Reinstall the game again, it works the homeworld remastered, then i install the complex 10, do everything, and the game just crash... lazer72: "do everything" could you elaborate? Step by step what did you do exactly? Beghins: we’re releasing the build 18 now, so you will try again, anyway the only thing you're doing wrong is to link your commands to the launcher, link it to homeworldzRM.exe PANITA: "now" takes around 5 days or longer i guess... bosio: I ve the same issue install complexx run with the instructions it crashes immidiately. use it on win7 64 as admin with -mod Complex105.big EDIT: as i use complex105 any solutions till now? how can i find out if i own the english version? the spech in remastered vanilla game is english but if german notes. Edit i have version v1.22? edit: as i uppdated to v2.0 all worked proper if u have read u can forget to delete some bigfiles in ur data folder.( make sure ur target is on homeworldRM.exe -mod - complex1057.mod ------------for eg. its just hard to find the update. ?!!!!! for none steam users. all work poroper i ve german versin complex is in english. sad is i ama liddle dissapointed. beghins especially about the in game music. is there a way to change it? bosio: complexx9 was fntastic complexx 10 still it is .a lot of changes but not logical explained. maybe u think aboutof a restart of complexx 9 in homeworld rm edition to get it more stable?. thank you for ur work. hiig: Well, I've given this a few months, in case later updates to Complex might have solved my crash issue. Latest version at the time of this post crashes in the exact same manner that I first experienced. From what I'm seeing with other people's replies, I guess I'm not the only one. I'm going to just stick to my original Homeworld 2 disc. What's the latest Complex version that works with the original HW2? Not the HW2 Classic that comes with the remastered edition, but the actual original from 2003. And more importantly, how can I get it running without Desura? Seems like it was bought out or something and completely ruined by the new owners. Oni: You should have patch 1.1 if you mean complex9. For relic version of the game If you mean complex 10 you must have homeworld remastered patch 2.1 or latest. hiig: So Complex 9 is the latest Relic version then? I see a 9.1 version is available as well, which, assuming is also compatible, lacks any download link that works. The one from http://www.homeworld2complex.com/lastversion.htm leads to a PayPal donation page, but no file, and the ModDB link in the first post of this thread says the file does not exist. ALC: @hig I'll take a look... ... ModDB page also has a link to the steam community page which hosts version 9: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=870497410 You need to subscribe to download it. hiig: Okay, I've subscribed, but I don't see a download button. Jelrak: I could probably upload you a copy of 9.1 if you cannot find a way to download it hiig: I'll try a little more tonight. Maybe I missed something. hiig: Yeah, not sure what I'm supposed to be doing. Sorry to be a hassle. Jelrak: Try this link http://www.homeworld2complex.com/lastversion221213.html I know it looks similar to the one you tried first, but if you click on the download link it simply downloads the game hiig: Even better. Thank you very much for that. haymana48: I did everystep on text file but it didn't launch.. Zheega: I keep getting "Access violation" error on Steam.

I noticed that the big file is actually "Complex133.big" and not "Complex13.big" as stated in the readme.I corrected the shortcut accordingly, but the game crashes. Vanilla game appears to work when I use the normal link. Tinkering currently to get working on a friends PC... Edit: I just wanted to add that we did fix the issue.Oddly, it took a full reinstall of the GoG Version of HWRM before things worked.Not sure if any other tinkering had been done with the build prior to that first attempt to install Complex, but it's working just fine now. Scoob. Battlemaster: Greetings again! First things first- thanks for keeping this game and mod alive! You are the best! Been waiting for Kushan race for a long time. But I've got some strange bug or an error with units cap. I've have increased units cap to have a larger fleet to fight, however, closer to end phase of the game, when I've had a decent fleet, for some reason all ships' icons becomes red in a build menu and I can't construct even a probe anymore. Is there any parameter in scripts for like a general or total population or how many ships can be on a map? Thank you in advance! Jelrak: There is a hard-coded limited in the game engine that I believe limits your fleet to 250 combined units...however you are able to spawn as many as you wish through scripting. Battlemaster: Oh, well, I thought there is some kind of hard limit. Could anyone give a tip how to modify this script, please? Jelrak: What would you like to do, exactly? Feel free to PM me if you would prefer. ALC: As far as I recall, there is a limit on the number of total objects of all types that can exist on a map. Battlemaster: Is there an option to increase this limit somehow? I'll be very thankful if you could say which file has those limits, so I can modify it. Jelrak: It is in the executable and so cannot be modified without a work-around. Battlemaster: So, it's not that easy to change those parameters. Might be there is a point to check some mods, where unit cap is disabled? ALC: Disabling the unit cap wil not override the maximum number of objects in a level limit, afaik. Battlemaster: Well, that's very sad. I enjoyed large fleet battles in HW 2 Complex, and this object limit in HWR is quite harmful to a gaming experience, especially when your rig can handle it. MasterPayne: Hi. Just tried the link from the OP, "This item might not exist or is no longer available" Is there another link or can this be updated? Thx. FWIW, I also tried the link at the top of the page that reads "Downloads." "This download section has no categories" Kinda seems like stuff is all over the place. ALC: I'll take a look at that and see what I can see... Plofre: Hi there! I just returned to the Homeworld Games after 20 years (gog had a sale running ;-)) and now I'd like to try out complex in the newest version.
