if it's crashing to desktop type"-nopbuffer" into the target line in the launcher. works now. :)

just checking on this, is this working properly currently?

Hah, that's not even the main problem. The real issue is that unlike in classic, projectiles are now modelled as individual physics objects that are tracked completely from weapon to destination, unlike in HW2 where weapons either applied damage or didn't and projectiles were just cosmetic for the most part. This increases CPU load and thus in Remastered, it may end up piledriving people's computers. Again.

Hi folks - sorry there has not been much progress with PDS in the last year. The last HW:RM patch vastly changed the way how squadron code works and this has been difficult porting PDS' dogfighting scripts for squadrons with their changed weapon systems. Work on this mod is asleep right now until any of the devs (myself included) get a chance to sit down and work on the patch overhaul which may take some time.

Apologies to all the fans looking for updates, but thanks for your passions and sorry we won't be able to deliver for a while longer.

There isn't going to be an RM version. The mod's dead, sorry folks.

sweet

Is there word on the HW:RM version?

This Mod breaks my game

Revisited the mod recently, it was great fun! Keep up the work guys!

Just wishing you guys all the luck, damn but I miss my PDS!

hey man haven't been on in awhile and was wondering if you guys are still working on this

To answer your question yes. We're still working on things. The update broke a lot of stuff and real life has been getting in the way of development. However the gears are still turning and we're keeping the spirit alive! Adapting what we have to the new movement code will take some time but we can definately take advantage of some of the new additions.

Also note we're looking for additional modders and coders and such to help pick up the slack. Feel free to contact myself or Typhoone if you're interested or even just want to talk or ask questions.

thanks and gl

There have been substantial delays in development by the mod team - thanks for your patience! Integrating with the new patch is going slowly.

Yo Ironwatsas, is the mode dead???

does this mod still work? as the others got messed up?

who give's a fuck LASERS AND SHIT!!!!!!!!

this is a awsome idea and a great addition to some of the ships that cant do squat to defend themselves. keep it up man.

PDS is fun, but it is in no way lore-friendly. =p I say that as one of the original devs-- 99% of the fluff for this was generated in wierd roleplaying on various forums, and it is scattered with excessive and gratituous technobabble.

"Point Defense Systems" [PDS] is a simulation-oriented, lore-friendly gameplay improvement and conversion for Homeworld 2. PDS has several iterators and forks dating as far back as 2004. A current "Remastered and Reimagined" mod of PDS is under development for HW:RM. This is version 6.1 of the original PDS mod, for Homeworld 2 Classic.

Features:
--Adding several weapons and hardpoints to original ships.
--Faster, high-octane space battle gameplay.
--New models, units, and re-skins of some existing units.

Visit the PDS community in the following link: http://www.pds.homeworldaccess.net/

so, what does this do, exactly?

Ironwatsas. Yep, I use the name "LoBlo" alot now. Sometimes "BullyHeedro". I see that the old website is back up trying to get things restarted for the HW2Remastered PDS. Nice.

Oh wow, this takes me back. I remember that when I finally had a computer that could run HW2 that my first mods were Warlords and PDS, which at the time had just switched over to 6.0. So this is doubly nostalgic for me.

(Wasn't there a campaign file you could edit that would allow you to play the other half of the (unfinished/unbalanced) HW2 campaign, though?)

Deathblow? It is you! It is you!

Tel'Quessir would be proud

Wow, I remember this back when the HW2 mod community was up. It even has the old MP missions ("Dead Man's Fog" and Dead Man's Run")I created for the mod back when I was using the name "Deathblow". Great to see that its still up and running.

Crash on start running win10

Agreed - made the campaign (at least the half that was modded) fantastically epic - really loved the increased health of the ships, especially the frigates and the larger number of hardpoints on everything, felt like your fleet had weight and mattered instead of being churned out by the mothership

This was my favorite mod back in the day. Glad to see someone put it up here and to hear that someone is making a newer version .
