hi sorry but I can't start the mod, it closes the game help me

@BSR We'll see! There will definitely be a HW Remastered version of TFS at least!

Will we get a HW3 Version pretty please?!

I can’t complete the third mission, please help, and tell me what is the reason?

can`t win mission 2 the captain spawns in a bording fregate and dies super fast

When can I play the remastered version?

@Battlecry I added -nopbuffer to the command line and it loads just fine.

@Titan Uranus Can you check your HW2.log file and report what error message it gives you after trying to start the game?

I'm still interested in the mood, Battlecry. However, it appears to crash on startup at present.

@Battlecry well as I said before your mod is by far my favorite mod for homeworld so many custom ships and yet still compatible with the original story, plus I always thought your ships fit the plot better, I mean homeworld 2 comes a few centuries later from homeworld 1 I always figured the ships and fighters would be more advanced and specialized

I still have a pending update for TFS classic I never finished from over a year ago. If there is still interest in the mod, I would consider revisiting it and finishing the planned update (includes small re-balances, bug fixes, slightly modifies one of the campaign missions).

@firestorm, i have that. but that has its own freaking campaign, i wanted something with the original story, with custom ships up the ass. havent had problems with crashing but the campaign likes to freeze up and not move on sometimes

Complex EVO is solid albiet prone to crashing.

FX Galaxy has got lots of new stuff but is still pretty much vanilla

@starfury
I haven't been following the mod development scene for a while, so I am surprised there aren't any decent mods for Homeworld Remastered after all this time. I agree about vanilla Remastered; I didn't enjoy the pace and game balance of it at all.

@battlecry well that sucks. its so hard to find a decent remastered mod, that is as good as your classic. in fact i havent succeeded. guess im stuck with vanilla crap for remastered :(

@starfury @Firestorm
The attempt required a lot of work, too overwhelming for one individual to do most the heavy-lifting. Because the RNG system for weapon hits was changed in Remastered, a lot of files would have to be re-balanced from scratch. New script features had to be modified to work, but the biggest obstacle was getting custom ships and their textures into the Remastered engine and being able to edit them as HOD files (Remastered assets were locked-down unlike HW2C assets). Many things would have to be redone from scratch. It's a doable project, but a daunting one for a mod like TFS with so many new interconnected parts.

@starfury There was an attempt at remastering this mod but it was abandoned.

any chances for this to get into the remastered, my favorite HW2classic mod due to all the different ships and an extra challange when you run through the campaign. and i just cant find a mod for remastered that adds in custom ships like this does. Though it would be nice if we could customize the Motherships on-board weapons systems a bit; pulsars and anti-fighter missiles maybe? ooo wait!! FLAK cannons!!! no big ship is complete without some old-school defenses like flak

Remastered would be great

Any news for remastered?

after first mission the game fall back to desktop and nothing happen anymore.. dunno why it chrashes when mother ship rescue in hyperspace

wow, that took a bit of work for me to get this to work right, figured out the first number sequence on the folders didnt match up for your instructions, it was the same for 76561198 part, but the last set of numbers were different, the second folder number sequence did match up perfect though

aside for the painfull sunlight or the light glitch on one of the dusty map the mod run fine.
did got a random crash to desktop after a few games.

@Battlecry (I can't seem to reply directly to people in-thread for some reason):
NVidia frame-limiter seems to have fixed it --Free-sync in client smooths it out but causes "hitches" every so often (due to no pre-rendered frames interval, I believe? My NVidia is at interval 1 which usually fixes things like this IME)
It's always more or less smooth with just a few small units unless they;re zoomed way in on big ones (like Battlecruisers and larger) so yeah. This engine is probably over 20 years old, after all.
Thanks, mate.

No, I can't recall seeing choppiness in HW2 classic. Which reminds me, I should play the classic campaign again.

@Noobie Noobcakes
My first guess would be vsync. Try disabling freesync and using a frame rate limiter instead; there is a built-in FPS limiter in the Nvidia control panel.

Does unit movement look choppy at the start of the game? The game slows down when there are lots of units active in the game due to engine limitations. Is unit movement choppy in vanilla Homeworld 2 as well, or just TFS?

Brilliant mod (I even won my first game just now :)), I love what you've done.
Just one small issue:

I find that unit movement --IE, the motion/manoeuvres/turns/whatever the models themselves do, not the response to commands-- when you zoom in close (IE, focus in on one or a squad) is very choppy --It's especially apparent when you break focus on the unit, and it moves away from/off camera.
Does this come with the territory, or is there a fix.

Spec/Settings:

O/S: Win7
Core i7 - 3770k @3.5GHz
GTX 1070
16GB RAM
Hardware is a bit old, but sound as far as I know

Monitor native-resolution is used (1600x900)
Shadows off, per the requirement to avoid artefacting
All other settings High, or On depending which
VSync is on client-side, native refresh is 60frame/sec (rock solid per my FPS counter)

@Morbo513 pretty sure that bug is experienced by everyone...

what is the name of the main menu song? i really like the way it sounds.

Got 2 issues: Ships are partially transparent, and their colour schemes are darker except for the parts surrounding the emblem. Win 10 GTX 1050, i5-4670k fwiw

@DOGFORT I am on the discord that was set up for people who were going to test the RM project, and nobody posts on it anymore. One of the people who was working on it even came out and said quote: "Sorry guys. Battlecry made this server and I invited people with the intention of working on a new TFS for HWRM. Shortly later it seems he decided he wasn't interested in porting the mod, even with all the people that have been generous enough to help.
Given that it's his IP, I'm not sure there's much we can do unless he changes his mind."

@firestorm Is IP the limiting factor to continuing the mod? Have you communicated with @battlecry about releasing the IP to let an a more open group work on it?

@tokenwhite85 Battlecry has apparently abandoned the project and since he owns the intellectual rights to the mod and has not given permission as far as I know, the RM project is halted indefinitely as no one else can take it up.

How goes the struggle?

@Hormaeus it has been in the works for YEARS.

this is such a great mod, can u make a HWRM version please?

@cc666phoenix what do you mean? It works fine! you are aware that this mod is a classic Homeworld 2 mod, not a remastered mod right?

would b nice to have this mod working again :(

oh boi

Good news everybody, we're officially porting TFS to HW Remastered, but we need your help. We're looking for experienced modders and contributors that could help make the process more fluid. We're also starting up TFS multiplayer matches again. If you're interested in either, join our new Discord here: https://discord.gg/PwN9eWg

@The2lied Before HWRM was a thing, The Homeworld franchise still had a devoted modding community. These venerable classic mods have been reposted to the workshop for posteriety and the ease of access and installation that the workshop allows.

Why is making mods for non remastered versions even possible??

It would be amazing to have this as a remastered edition in 4k.

Should we lose hope for a remastered version?

@=LUMINAK= nope, unfortunately

Getting some really weird pixellated bloom effects on the ships.

any one know if they have a remastered version of this one ?

To get around the Issues in Mission 3, establish a forward resourcing operation ASAP, before the probes spawn. Read it somewhere on the interweb - it seemed to work for me. Everything else seems to break the script unfortunately.

Will this ever be ported oer to the remastered version ? Its everything that the game needed and more

remastered please

I'd love to see this in Remastered as well
