• Backup/move the Homeworld 1.30 folder and then follow the first section of the guide.
  
  
• After it's best to rename your folder if you plan to play the original version again!
  
  
• Follow the second part of the guide.

Warning: DO NOT install 1.35 to a folder that has previously had Fairy Empire 1.30, it will cause a general failure every time, due to it rewriting core files.

This list is subject to change, as there are active tests going on. Make sure to check the discord, and or comment below if interested in testing, or updates on what will and won't work.

Factions are in order by number

1. Chamber of Trade: Tested in defense mode in LAN, seem to work. Starter ship still has the 'wandering' bug from 1.30

2. Higara: Tested in Skirmish as AI, seems to work fine.

3. Fairy Empire: Tested in Skirmish as AI, seems to work fine.

4.Pixie Heavy: First tests show good signs, seem to be stable.

5. Alos Empire: First tests also show good signs, stable thus far.

6. Pes Crystal: N/A

7. New Faction (No concrete name yet): Good on trial run, same as above tested. Also tested in SP seems to work perfectly fine.

8.Vaygr: Tested in Skirmish both playing as, and against. But not LAN. Blood Blade stage for Skirmish still crashes the game.

9. Kushan: N/A

10.T aidan: Works for defense mode in SP, haven't tested in LAN.

• The 1v7 map no longer works for multiplayer/LAN due to an issue on hosting. Where upon loading the host desyncs completely.
  Strangely enough, the host is the only one that desyncs, and any other players can still play the game? Least that's what happened on our end.
  
  
  
• You can't lower down the audio and music sadly, only option is to go to volume mixer and manually turn down the Homeworld app.
  
  
• There still is no normal fix for the ??? characters sadly.
  
  
• Vaygr set as AI will still crash the game on Blood Blade stage.

I fiddled with the packer for a long time but now everything is fine.
This is the modified file in which the game menu, lobby, settings will be in English.
I added the missing lines, respectively, they will be in Chinese and repackaged it. I checked it by running the company and the battle. Replace original file

Place it in "you game folder"/HomeworldRM/Data/yaoduMODCH.big and replase it

Thanks for the help. really enjoying the new version.

I'd use this to update my version of the mod but for some reason kaspery security is blocking google drive at the moment and I don't know how to turn it off without uninstalling it, so its gonna have to wait until tech support replies. Thanks for your hard work getting the mod available to us, even is I haven't been able to use it yet.

unsure how but I think I managed to open the base game, but with the ???s, any idea how to fix or do I need to restart the process?
edit: my bad didn't see the 'if shortcut doesn't work' section
edit 2: getting an error when I attempt to edit the shortcut target, says that the name specified in the target box is not valid.
I typed it in at least three times to make sure there were no errors and even got to the point of copying the additional section directly from the steam page but it's still not working

If you've done the first part (Which sounds like it from you having the base game with ???.) Follow the steps of installing 1.35.

If you've already done that and installed the files to the homeworld directory, plus created a shortcut from the Homeworld.exe application, everything should be good. All that needs to be added at the end is this

' -mod yaoduMOD.Big,yaoduMODCH.big,yaoduMODSHIP01.big,yaoduMODSHIP02.big -luatrace' (WIthout ')

And everything should be good


Otherwise I have no clue without looking at it myself.

If you're still having problems, link some screenshots of the path, shortcut, and homeworld folder. (If you have discord it might go faster as screen-sharing might be quicker.)

I'll join you on discord and we can find a time, probably at the weekend, to look at the issue because I've done the things you've brought up and they didn't work.

Update: got it to work by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with where the " were placed.

It's a trap, this downloadable package comes with a virus as a gift.

I recommend you download the mod from the official web and follow a tutorial on how to install the mod in bilibili.com, it is not so difficult and it is safer.

False on it being a trap. It fires off a warning on virus protector but it completely safe. Many people have downloaded it with no issue nor had any problems.

It's not a trap, it's an official download, sanctioned and supported by the mod creators, so that people outside of China can access the mod, as it is over the steam WS filesize limit.
