FYI: Mod is broken and is abandoned so there wont be any fixes/updates anymore, you can refer to my post in the discussions to talk about the future of this mod...

When loading in a match It crashes and I get the "General Failure" error very bad fix it intel i 7 11700k 32gb ram geforce 3060 titan 8 gb .

Well, I did suggest something they didn't like at all (not that I blame them one bit), rebuilding from the ground up. All the issues had pointed to this one, stone cold fact.

I've been tempted to ask the creator of the Wing Commander mod (Flag Commander) to take a look at this mod and see if he can do something or notify someone who might be able to do something. Thing is, his mod alone is a pretty hefty (and fun) revamp in of itself, but it's difference from core play is like this one's, hefty revamp.

Regardless, I only just discovered (last night in my case) about a fix that will allow you to roll back to 1.3, where this mod does work. I've posted what I learned in the "Does it even work?" thread.

2022-11-20... for future reference, for anyone wanting to check this out.

This mod appears to be dead. Abandoned by its devs. Issue appears to be a compatibility issue that arose after patch 2.0. Nothing anyone has suggested anywhere on the internet has helped.

If the devs are able to fix this, then I will happily strike down this post. Until then, save your internet.

:(

When loading in a match It crashes and I get the "General Failure" error/prompt

Tried this "fix", it still crashed for me as well. Are you sure it's for FreeSpace Remastered, and not for FreeSpace Classic?

Strange. it works for me. :/

Tried the method in the discussion, still crashed.

So there is a Way to get this Mod to work.
Look at the Newest Discussion call: "This is how to get this mod to work".
enjoy

@Sudden-Impuse.
Sorry No idea. Best of luck to you.

Will this still work if i just have the vanilla version of homeworld???

Sad... x( it doesnt work

i know right

is this mod even active? could u guys please update this mod>?

Please we need an update on this one

@Petroph It was the best. Got homeworld remastered just to play it.

I still come back to check if it's suddenly got an update.

Same here... the screenshots look great.


@Tenshi Noyo Senshi : Agreed.

This is a damn shame this mod doesn't work anymore. I am 4 years too late playing this mod.... >_<

Would love a compatibility update for this latest and probably last official version of the game, because who doesn't love Freespace?

I hope the mod devs come back eventually to at least top it off...or open it up to others to finish it. That's kind of how the Wing Commander mod is still going, I believe. Real-life matters take precedence, but do love these mods and hope for their continuance.

update plz someone

this mod keeps freezing on me mid load

yes please anyone can revive this mod please it not currently working.. we need help!

i don't have any clue on how to mod Homeworld, but i know how to program if someone is interested in reviving this, please hit me up

Sourcecode can be obtained downloading the mod and unpacking the .big file. I don't have the program to do that myself anymore, I'd suggest looking for more info in the Gearbox forums.

Be advised that both devs have real life pressing matters. This mod is dead. One of them had serious medical issues and we should assume that they are moving on with their lives. If anyone would like to help me work on this and help me ask for source code, please let me know.

That being said, the mod might as well be dead. Not to sound intentionally negative, but times can get hard and considering the mod devs, (In fact, many authors for mods besides this one, on this particular title as I have noticed as of late) have either been busy or just simply can't get enough funding to work on them/and or going very slowly as a result. Just go play classic or some other mod that isn't dead. It sucks but what are you going to do?

Nope, no fix. Until it says last updated recently assume it doesn't work.

Is this mod dead? Is there a workaround fix to be able to play it?

Ship models will be fine, coding on the other hand would be quite a pain. 2.0 made a lot of changes to how the innards of HWRM work. So, the models themselves would work but there's no way of knowing if they would work correctly (IE, if they have turrets that are actually turrets that turn or shoot).

Hello psylighttrigger, the game engine was changed quite a bit with the 2.0 patch, so I'm not 100% that the code / ship models for this mod can be fixed or if they need to be redone in another format. Anyway, you have to download the mod to access its code (you might need to extract the .big file located somewhere in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\DataWorkshopMODs or wherever you have Steam installed). Regarding the modding info, I'd redirect you to the gearbox forums https://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/c/homeworld/homeworld-modding/
I'm not sure, but maybe someone has made a tool to converd the old model format (that worked in the old engine) into the new model format, this for ships. For the text files with the ships stats, they might need extensive work (forexample, iirc the projectile model went from pure rng to a mix of rng and ballistic).

That would be Sweet. I would love to have this game fully updated/Fixed.

I'm a game dev with some free time, anyone interested in sending me source code/ modding info so I can get started on fixing this?

Mod was broken by gearbox, other authors and I too busy at the moment to fix. Mod will not get fixed. Please read previous comments

'd like to play this mod but for some reason, when i attempt to load a game, it's shown a general crash, could you attempt to fix this?

@The Mighty Goldfish.
thanks for the info.

@edwin.gibson I'm not sure what -nopbuffer does, but you use it as so:

http://prntscr.com/m1e5o8

It ONLY works for the classic versions, It does NOT work for mods created for Homeworld Remastered

Its not gonna work edwin. The mod needs to be overhauled.

@The Mighty Goldfish.
What does the "command augment -nopbuffer" do? And how do I use it? There are a few other mods that have stopped working for people. I may recomend this as a possable fix to them.

Sorry for the delay, @edwin.gibson Yes it still works

thats too bad man

Its dead as fuck bro, trust me

I hope this mod is not dead. I enjoyed the classic version and would love to play it remastered.

A tremendous amount of work

I would love to play this mod. What would it take to make this working again?

It does with classic workshop mods, yes. For ModDB mods I honestly don't know.

@ The Mighty Goldfish .
does that Command code work with other mods too? Like if I want to play a mod that I'm no longer able to play now.

It's a shame, but I MUST reiterate, the classic version of this mod still works (albeit you probably need to use the command augment -nopbuffer to get it working). So whilst we can't experience this great mod in RM, we can atleast all enjoy it in classic.

I understand. I wish I could help, but I too am starting to grow short of time and I don't have any modding skill.

The only thing that will work is either myself, or chrischris sitting down with it for a good 30 manhours.

Right now, I don't have time for that, you can PM me for details, but that's the jist.

I started a general discution about the problem. Maybe that will help? I want to help get this mod back on track.
