Homeworld

Ive only played Homeworld 2 , so I cant help you with Homeworld 1

Thats a pretty ambitious project there. Tho it does sound good. Right now we cant make multi star maps with p5y's editor. So we will have to wait for the forge tools. Unless you are feeling brave, and want to do some notepad editing. Open up a .galaxy file, and play around with it (make sure you back up the original). Much will be trial, and error. Most of the entry's are pretty self explanatory. Use another .galaxy file as an example.

Actually its quite easy with my editor.

Just load the program twice or three times. I sometimes do this when im designing with my editor. I have one draft version and proper version

and do a star on each...

then compile one , change its name . compile the other. then copy and paste . you might need to do some editing and its best to see how another multi-star system does it

Yes, I know how to create multiple systems using the map editor.

HW2 info works, I need every little scrap of info I can get about the HW universe as a whole. Note: I will be combining HW 1 $ 2. As in Kharak and Vygar will both be in here.

I realize how ambitious this is. It is too ambitios for me to do allone, if I don't get help, it will turn out realy crapy.

must the help I need should go like this....

"Once you make the map, I can work out the bugs,"
(which I need, becouse I am bad at finding bugs)

or

"I can design the Garden Of Kadesh for you"

or

"Too make it Epic, do this this and this."

I also have plans to do realy cool things like Dual systems. Such as one system is almost inside anouther system. (not possible in real life)

two things I forgot to put in my original post

supposed to be so epic, that intire (short) gaming guides are written on how to play this one map.

And, o yea, the're not Pirates. The're Turanic raiders.

Also, each system will have differnt advantages and disadvatages. The Taiidon System will be easy to defend. The Turanic system will have ALOT of pirate planets. every system has one capitol planet. (ten systems)


Now, if we pull together, we can make this Awsome!!!


Edit- found a site for HW info, it is AWSOME!!! homeworld.wikia.com

question- isn't thier some way to have an ice-astroid? seems to me that I have seen a few in the past (Hiigaran Crystal Moon)

also, begging to desing the individual systems. I will post pictures as I design them (only if someone will tell me how to post imagis off my machine.)

I have made a picture of the map I inteand to make

Tell me what you think

...and give me ideas for the cheasy names for some of the planets and Stars

The HW1 systems are pretty straight forward. (every load screen showed where you were going in the galaxy).

HW2 is a bit more vague on where stuff is. All they do is mention names, and some approximate locations in some instances (where the hell is tanis shipyard?). The only certain locations in HW2 are balcora gate, The karos graveyard, and higara.

wow... you missed the best of the homeworld games...

grrr....

I got the positions down, I found an awsome map for the HW universe.

Unfortinitly I'v had to take some slight liberties..........

But the postitioning is not what I want to hear about (Unless you ACTULLY have an idea)

I'd like you to go to that like and DL the picture (I have NO idea how to host it) and tell me what you think.

as in

"too small"

"too large"

"you need to move planet x from there to there"

or the best one

"That star should not be named Fred, here is a better name......"

thnxs

What about Homeworld: Cataclysm. Isn't that part of the series? I have the strategy/manuals for all three games and BTW that Wikia has to be improved. It's heavily lacking the last time I checked it

..HW cata did not have many "places" in it.

however I'm sure it has influenced some of the sourses I have used.
