I have been trying this mode, and I cant seem to get it to work, is it something wrong with the version or is it a problem with the mod

It works with 2.3

No idea, never used that fan-update and I've got no clue what modification it brings to the system.

hey, can you check if the mod works with 2.3 please?

Modifying SP missions is a pain in the ***, sorry. I'm currently way too busy with my Total Conversion already.

Thesde seems like a cool idea. Does it work in Single player missions? would be cool if some missions were a thing that happens. Also would be cool if you can capture enemy transports for even greater rewards!

Not really, and it would require a complete rework of the code to not hilariously break the sequences.

Is it possible to capture the convoy ships?

Nope on both counts. The whole idea is to escort them and they come with their code and specific parameters, so building them would be counter-productive.

Do the transport ships have defensive capabilities? Also, have you considered making them buildable units?

A scam? Why would I make such a thing? BTW, have you checked the competitive variant? It's designed specifically to make customized and balanced convoy gameplay for MP games.

great mod and it works i am happy that its not a scam

Glad to please. :-)

And thank you for the mod.

Seems interesting. I will try to play this ASAP, and if I like it then I will not play with out this.

Yep, HWRM brought quality of life improvements for modders, no doubt about that. It has a patch system that avoids having to re-upload entire ship files every time you change minute aspects of the ship, it allows the integration of powerful scripts in the ships themselves and other stuff. But the fundamental file structure remains the one from Homeworld 2: superb for massive single mods like the total conversions (for example, the Wing Commander one I'm managing, the Star Wars, etc.) but unable to support the kind of thing Bethesda games have nowadays.

However, if you want to try your hand at modding, it can be a really fun project to analyze the workings of various total conversions and insert in campaign missions stuff like Goa'uld death gliders for the Vaygr while you field the Galactica.

Theoretically, if the various modders take the time to structure their files properly, a mega-crossover mod could be doable without that much work (I mean months rather than a decade).

That's interesting if you think about it.
Since one of the ideas that went into the RM was that it would be easy to mod.
Yes mod by a single mod, however with this singular kind of file system it's barely modular.

It's the way HWRM is made, with a low number of files covering each asset. For example, if the mod modifies in any way the properties of the mothership, it will conflict the Convoy Mod because the ships' properties are all stored in a single file. Same for the game settings: they are modified by the Convoy Mod, so if the mod you talk about changes the files for the deathmatch settings, it's very likely it will have modified the same files as I did and will conflict the mod.

I do not know this mod. I guess you can try to turn both of them on at the same time and see whether it works, but I do not guarantee anything and it's very likely it will not work with any mod not specifically designed for compatibility with it.

does this work with HomeworldRM: Infinite Deathmatch?

Ah that's a shame, will keep it favorited and liked though since I like the idea and mod :)

It won't work with other mods. Homeworld Remastered is sadly not modular enough to allow such things. Long story short, it would require doing a plug-in specifically to fit Complex.

Does anyone know if this works with homeworld complex 9 or 10? I still play 9 but I'm also going to try 10 soon.

Err, did you want to ask something? XD

lol get rekt internet

so any ETA on the Wing commander remastered mod?
im curious TBH

its alright mate

Yeah, while HWRM is great to mod, it is however not that modular, unlike stuff like Fallout or Skyrim. Sorry.

rayyork93 Mar 26 @ 5:50am
oh well it was an interesting idea either way

Rufus Shinra [author] Mar 26 @ 5:23am
It would require reverse-engineering the Complex mod and rewriting a good part of the code to ensure compatibility, though.

rayyork93 Mar 25 @ 10:16pm
damn
it would have made those mods very interesting

Rufus Shinra [author] Mar 25 @ 10:15am
Nope. Such mods are way too large to be compatible with anything not specially designed to work with them, and Convoy wasn't.

rayyork93 Mar 25 @ 9:37am
ummm quick question will this work with othe

There's quite a lot of work being done ATM, including the integration of what are, AFAIK, the most-detailed models to have been put in HWRM.

The main discussion thread about it: http://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/wc4-mod-for-homeworld-2-in-the-works-june-5-2006.18930/page-88

Examples of ships being currently worked on:

Thanks Rufus. Good mod!

Click on the nice green button, wait for the download to finish, start HW Remastered on Steam and when it asks you to choose Homeworld 1 Classic, Homeworld 2 Classic or Remastered, go on bottom right and click MODS. Then, wait for the list of mods to load, select the one you want so it appears on the right box, then launch.

Im new to the workshop here and thought this mod seems pretty cool. Can someone explain (or link me to an explanation) how to install mods?

What a great mod from the maker of flag commander! (yet another good mod!)

Asymmetrical teams? That's an idea... Not guaranteeing things, but I'll see if I can build something like this.

Very interesting and innovative idea! I really like this. Although I think it should become an entirely new gamemode instead of simply adding convoys to standard deathmatch: for example, only one team would have to secure convoys while the other one(s) would entirely focus on capturing/destroying them, along with the mothership.
The game could be won by having a certain amount of transports dock with the mothership (just like in the singleplayer mission), and could be lost by losing either too much transports or the mothership itself. I feel that, this way, the entire strategy and game would be focused on the transports, rather than them being a small addition to the battlefield.

be sure to check out the other variant that Rufus was kind enough to make after i talked with him a bit, its called "compettetive version" but rly its just spawns centered on map, random, and one transport every 30 sec constantly per player, so cover up that map edge with pickets, sensor nets, anti frig platforms and graw wells to stop the enemy hypering his MS to scoop up transports, if they all make it home its 4k money per min, but realistically most will be lost or captured once that gets working (that you can then retire for money, gogo HW1 salvagers)

Glad to see the mod leading to new gameplay tactics and strategies! :-)

@Angel. I do it so the enemy doesn't win. Then again, maybe you're right, I should instead, spawn camp for transport ships. Much better idea indeed.

Just wanted to drop by and say I really enjoy the fresh tactical aspect this mod brings to the game. I've even seen AI's begin to rely on these transit shipments for isk over going to new asteroid fields (them taking into account the tactical reliability of protecting their "free RU".) :D

Exactly. Your job is to attack/defend convoys, not buoys. In the competitive version of the mod, I had them even further so the buoys themselves are outside the map standard limits (thus impossible to reach normally).

@*Hunter* Because you are supposed to be killing the convoys, not the buoys themselves. Its not profitable to destroy the buoys based on what I've read in the description.

Why does the jump buoy have 16 million hp? It took me 15 mins to destroy it with 39 ion beams and 6 cruisers

yeah that should be it

There are most likely incompatibilities due to similar files being used, probably that other mod tampering with either AI or the mothership in some way.
