So, I fixed the Federation AI, but they need a Hiigaran in the game to work. (Just at the start, it should be fine if they die later.) I bet this problem was in there the whole time and I just didn't notice it because most of the time there just happened to be one in the game. Anyway, have fun!

Yeah, the Federation AI is messed up somehow. It really doesn't work. Crud. I'll fix it.

I think it must be a memory issue. I was going bananas looking for a bug, but I got the exact same scripts in this version to work in a smaller game with the AI set to aggressive. So, if they’re just sitting on their butts, turn the setting ‘texture limit’ down some more or play with fewer players, and set the setting AI Strategy to anything but ‘Normal’. I’ll get ‘em pepped up in the next one.

Crud - something is wrong with the Federation AI, he's just sitting there like a doofus. I'll fix it =/

Hi Siirhaan - It works now! It took me forever to get those Hero voices to work in this mod, and they still get dropped in big games because this mod is really pushing the memory of the game, but I think this is as good as it's going to get. You should be able to just set Boss Fight or Jumbo Shrimp in the Research Boost settings, or Doomsday and Armageddon so they turn into a boss if you don't kill them in time. If you want to be a boss yourself, don't forget to build the ship for it all the way at the bottom of the Capital Ship build list. Have fun!

They're not set up corretly in this mod yet, but I'm trying to fix it right now. Normally, you can select Doomsday or Armageddon in the Research Boost game settngs and at a certain game time they turn into a boss fight. I think selecting Boss Fight or Jumbo Shrimp in the reserch will grant it right away, and I'm pretty sure this works. In Goliath they work for sure. I think I can update this mod today though, and I'll put the better descriptions in the game settings as well.

How do I get boss fights to work?

I think it's fixed and updated! I'm gonnna play a couple games to make sure. ;-)

Hi Okita,
Thanks for the info! I can recreate the error, and I’ll get it fixed. I think other maps should work though because that’s the only map I could recreate the error on. But there are some things I need to update on this mmod from Goliath though, like the Doomsday devices and Heroes. I’m off until next year, and I’m totally in the mood to mod it up! I’ll update this one today or tomorrow.

Was trying to play this mod selected federation as myself Veger as CPU under Butch (Bishop)
Starting resources medium (3000)
Map is two player Mars
Everything else is default AI strategy is set to dynamic

Tried playing as other factions and got he same results.

I get a general failure as it's about to load is anybody else having this issue?

Hi Slayer,

It should work with other maps and badges, but not with anything else. If you turn all the extra settings in the game set-up off, Goliath is pretty much just like the vanilla game with all the bugs fixed. If that’s what you were looking for.

Now that HW3 turned out to be a pathetic flop, I’m gonna keep modding for HWRM though. Been working on the addition of Heros and Villains to Goliath, then this one will get updated, and then: Missile Command vs. Homeworld is coming!

hey are there any other mods that this is compatible with?

Happy to report that worked ty.

Hi Langy, If you can get to the main menu, turn the graphic setting 'texture size limit' all the way down before starting a match. If it still crashes, try to start a small game with only two sides to see if that runs. I can play a game with all five factions with the teture size limit at the second from the bottom (1024 I think) and after that the game runs out of memory and starts to not draw things or acts goofy. I've had the game just crash as soon as I started the match as well if that setting was turned all the way up and the game was too big. If that doesn't work, write me in the troubleshooting discussion and I'll try to help you. Good luck!

I'm not sure why i get an access violation, but i follow the screen shot load list exactly, its not rocket science, so no idea whats going on here.

Hiya, Coyote. I just played a game, and it still works. So, maybe make sure you’re following the instructions correctly, or go through the troubleshooting steps in the discussion tab.

I’ve been meaning to update this for a long time, but I was working on a Homeworld novel instead. =D Sadly for me, I think it’s gonna have to either be stupid fan-fiction, or I might un-Homeworld it and self-publish it. (lol) Or maybe I’ll turn it back into a series of single player missions, which was my original plan anyway.

But regardless, I think I’m in the mood to update this thing! I wanted to make the Gorn treaty a lumbering unstoppable capture dreadnaught using the Grendel as the infamous Gorn Slavers, but I can’t get it to work. :( So, I think it’s going to be the Airspace Denial Behemoth instead! The Feds need more anti-strike craft stuff anyway, so how about a REALLY slow ship that just shreds any strike craft that dares to get too close to it? Sounds cool, right?

Sadly this is not working. I get access violation.

Thanks you guys! Glad you like it! I think I'll wait and see if there are mod tools for HW3 before I start another big project, but I'll keep updating Goliath for sure, and this one when I get a chance too. I still want to put in the Gorn treaty and adjust the balancing again. I think the Federation is a little bit too weak right now. The feds could probably use a defensive corvette as well. I might do a small VS mod if I get a chance, but nothing as big as Star Wars. This mod already uses every scrap of memory available, so 5 big races is pretty much the limit. (That's why you have to turn the 'texture size' setting down.)

ST vs SW mod I beg

can you guys do more vs please you guys mods are awesome

Perhaps it bothers you that your beloved Federation is finally being exposed as the fascist crypto-capitalist imperialistic cartel for which it is? They shall rue the day that they dared to extend their retched narcissistic empire of misery and strife through the dimensional rift! :b

Not so much a fan of the weapons here. Seeing fed ships firing other races nations is weird to me. Not knockin the mod but i think it misses the mark for me personally.

Hi Mosser, nah. Just 2310 as the Federation with a couple ships from the other races mixed in through treaty researches. The game is already at the limit of what's possible based on the memory restrictions of a 32 bit game. But try it out, I think it's super-fun!

does this work with any of the other trek eras?

Hey Kane, were you looking at your own profile picture when you wrote that? lol j/k – I just played a game though and it still works fine, so you're probably doing something wrong: make sure you load them in the right order, turn the 'texture size limit' down if you're using a bunch of different races, and make sure at least 1 slot is set to Hiigaran. There's a troubleshooting discussion as well if that doesn’t do it. Good luck and have fun!

this sucks!!! Game crashes , Userinterface is buggy it only works when iam playing Hiigaran !!!

Okay, it works again!

Just saw the bug where you can't destroy the Higaran mothership - working on a fix!

Hello Friends! Anybody still play this thing? It's going to act funny until I update it for compatibilty with Goliath 5.0. You can still play it, but the Federation is gonna suck until I update it. The target selection is a lot better with the update, but the Feds don't have it yet, so they'll proabably try to shoot the wrong stuff. It shouldn't be too long. Probably by tomorrow.

The picture of that dreadnaught fleet gave me chills....o.o

this is the first homeworld mod i have seen that requires mods wow

Fantastic! Happy to hear that!

Hi (I won't try to write your name :b),
I'm not sure what I think about Star Wars, I loved it when I was a kid, and after the new ones I kind of thought it was lame, but then I watched Mandaloian and now I like it again! =D I thought about it, but for me the main thing is the gameplay, so any races I add have to be different for the ones we already have. I'd have to think up a new race feature- maybe the Empire's ships could have really high health, but not be able to hit a bull's butt with a canoe paddle! Just like the movies :D But I already have some stuff on my to-do list for this mod and Goliath, so if I do it then it's gonna be a while.

Have you ever thought about a ST vs SW mod? would be fun, i think.

This is quite possibly the most ridiculous homeworld mod to date, I love it.

Hi Gray, there's a troubleshooting section in the Discussions tab. I bet you'll get it going. ;-)

Don't work =(

Thanks for the tip Captain_Freedom, I'll be sure to check them out! I hope you and your GF (Btw I died of laughter when I read your 3rd, 4th and 5th sentences) have a Merry Christmas, and stay safe during this pandemic. It would be sad to lose a wonderful creator such as yourself. Also, I never saw it as a puzzle until now lol. That's a smart way to look at it! I usually just look at 'coding' as some sort of mini-game in itself! Anyways, I'll report anything I have trouble with to you, have a great evening (or morning/whatever the time is where you are XD).

That's a very nice comment! Thanks a lot! I got that line from somebody who was telling me about a Stephen King book and he used that to describe punching someone or something like that, so no… sadly, not cultured. But I can still use your comment to rub it in my GFs face! (who IS cultured and thinks I'm a simpleton =D ) Whatever, I'll take it! If you need help with getting started modding then you can ask over at the gearbox forum, those guys will totally help you out. I asked so many dumb questions and they always took the time to help. I'm over there too. Yeah, it took a long time, but it's not work. I look at it like doing a big puzzle, and in the end you get to play with the game you wanted too. It's fun!

@Captain_Freedom did you quote a guy called Tim Minchin when you said 'The Good Book'? If so, you're a cultured person. Also in my opinion, this mod is impeccable! Great work making both mods compatible, and the fact that you reply to feedback, not only reading feedback, but even trying to fix things! I myself don't really know how to mod (yet), but I'm learning and someday I will be making Homeworld mods myself, so I don't really know how long it took, or the hardships of finding that one (or many) line(s) of code that breaks the game. There aren't many compatibility mods out there, so I praise you, and you are worthy of such a name!

No, it just works with STC 2310. And just The Federation with a couple ships from the other races through treaty researches. But try it out, I think it's totally fun! They really play different than the Homeworld races because the Federation ships are heavily armed in all directions. So, against the Homeworld guys, you generally want to try to flank them so they can't bring all of their weapons to bear on the flanking force, but with the Feds you want to attack from one direction because if they manage to fly right into the middle of your ranks, then they're going to start reading to you from The Good Book!

will this work for the other star trek era mods?

Cool! I’m glad you got it working and it’s always nice to hear that people like it. You’ll have to ask Nathanius what his plans are for Continuum though. They’re always working in secret and then launch a bunch of new stuff out of the blue. ;-D

Thanks for the help seemed uninstalling the mods and re downloading fix the issue. now it plays no problem also id love to see the Vengence from the kelvin timeline since its a big military-isk ship. thanks for help and great job on the mod i love playing it.

Hi Shenderson, in the Discussions tab there's a troubleshooting topic with instructions on what to check for. The mod uses too much memory if you play a game with too many races in the same game while the graphics are turned up. So you either have to turn the graphics down or play with fewer race in the game. The next update for Goliath will get uploaded today or tomorrow and that should help the problem, but not completely solve it, then I’ll have a look at using less memory in this mod, but for now just check out the troubleshooting instructions and I bet you’ll get it going. The Federation needs you: these Homeworld ruffians are wearing white pants after Labor Day!

so ive got it work before but after reinstalling the game i can set up a game against the computer when it loads the match it crashes and i get a "general Failure" box after it close any tips?

awww man no shields. Now how will starfleet defend against dust particles when travelling at the speed of light?

I think you mean the Spectre, the bomber-corvette thingy. They pack a lot of punch and they’re cheap, but just build some anti-corvettes stuff and you can one-shot them stone dead!

Don’t forget that you can grant starting researches to yourself in the game options. And there are new BOSS FIGHT options that you can give to yourself if you want to feel like a god among mortals! =D

Quitting is not an option, if these condescending sissies from that other universe get their way, Hiigara and the Taiidan will be forced to join their stupid Federation! Our people will be forced to endure the shame and humiliation of LASTING PEACE! (whatever that is...)

Hi Boghog, I’m glad you got it working!

Read the description and change notes of Goliath, the AI is a LOT harder than the normal game. People complain about it all the time, but there are also people that have been playing this game for years who like a challenge.

I think you don’t think the Hiigaran ships are effective enough, you might not be using your weapon upgrades. Also, keep a scout on the enemy to see what he’s building so you can build counters and look for weaknesses. If you’re already getting swarmed then you’re too late! I don’t want to tell you that you just need to practice, but I think you just need practice. :b

Star Trek enters the battle.

All Homeworld races: Now that's an a Avengers level threat
