Final build: FX 1.39 - Last Stand

FX:Galaxy v1.39 - Last Stand
The FXmod project is an effort to recreate that raw excitement vibe from the original 1999 title in the remaster. We innovate and expand upon the base game while paying close attention to Homeworld's lore, and have received acclaim from Gearbox while doing so. Our goal is to provide enjoyment, have many exciting things for players to discover, and add more content to the game in general.

Existing Features
  • 8 Playable Races: All eight races from HW1 & HW2 are available as fully playable factions. Continue your adventure as one of the overhauled vanilla factions, or come see how we brought player favorites like the Progenitors, Kadeshi, Turanic Raiders and Bentusi to life.
  • More Strategy, More Challenges: All factions come with their own unique units, abilities and playing styles, bringing a vast amount of new strategical options to the table. Unit abilities play a bigger role, and with a vastly improved, almost human-like AI the galaxy is more dangerous a place than ever before. Will you emerge victorious?
  • New Content: Continue exploring the Homeworld universe in 5 new Single-Player Missions, hone your skills via 2 unique Challenge Modes (Skirmish/Survival), or spice up the new 8-faction experience even further with new Gameplay Modes & 10+ new Maps.
  • New Features: Co-operate with (or assume command over) AI players with our AI Diplomacy System, collect brand new Achievements, customize your in-game BGM, name your ships - and much more. 15+ years of innovation in HW modding awaits you.
  • 40+ New (HD) Units: Some of these are based off original Homeworld concept art, others were designed by us from scratch. Summon the newly discovered Progenitor Frigates or Kadeshi Nagual from the voids of space, unleash new gamechangers such as the Taiidan Battleship and Vaygr Defense Cruiser, or check out our take on old favorites - like a re-textured version of the Turanic Outpost from HW:Cataclysm! You can view our remastering progress here[docs.google.com].
  • Enhanced Graphics & FX: New fleet command voices, animations (e.g. Turanic smoke, Progenitor energy), weapon fx (e.g. Taiidan Ion Beams, Kadeshi energy weapons), subsystem models, unit blueprints, sound effects, and more for prying eyes (and ears!) to discover.
  • Vanilla Tweaks: Featuring improvements from both the 2.3 Player Patch and our own tweaks, you will find that e.g. HGN Bombers can now rotate their turrets to attack from any angle as originally intended. Unused units like the Gunships and Gun Platforms have been merged or removed, and Research & Production trees have been streamlined across the board. Balance adjustments are ever ongoing, and are shaped by player feedback.
  • New Player Aid: With over 1GB of new content things may seem overwhelming at first, but rest assured - we're not just throwing you in unprepared. Two new Tutorial Missions will help you on your way, and our 33-stage Challenge Mode "The Shimmering Path" will allow you to hone your skills as you go. We've left many more tips throughout the mod, and you'll find even more on our Discord!

"A must-play, even if you're just dabbling in solo missions."

Troubleshooting
❗ To prevent some potential issues, we recommend creating a new game profile for the FXmod.
- FX:Galaxy requires your game language to be set to ENGLISH.
- Your Homeworld:Remastered version should be v2.0 or higher.
- FX:Galaxy is not compatible with other Homeworld mods (exceptions: Map and Badge/Emblem packs) and should be the only mod active.

If issues persist it may help to reinstall the mod:
1. Unsubscribe from the mod.
2. Close (exit) the Steam client, and keep it closed.

*\steamapps\common\Homeworld\HomeworldRM\DataWorkshopMODs\76561198034399157\423694988 *\steamapps\workshop\content\244160\423694988
4. Re-subscribe to the mod.
5. Launch Steam, and launch Homeworld Remastered once without any mods.
6. You can now launch Homeworld Remastered with the FXmod.

Is it just me or are the singleplayer campaigns impossible?

@CanadaMan7 :
Thanks, I saw this several months later. I gave up unpacking it and moved on. This helps a ton. Ironically there are more carriers to strikecraft in this mod so I can barely field 4-6 complete carrier strike groups. Thanks again, and its been good talking to you. Been a fan since UAW.

@Talos: If you use the launcher make sure that your game language to be set to English. FX should also be the only mod you launch with. Map/emblem packs are okay.

If the issue persists please contact us on the Discord mentioned in the description so we can maybe work out the problem.

I ask for help with launching the mod version. We want to play multiplayer with our friends. But to do this, you need the game to be launched through the launcher. The game crashes through the launcher. If you make a label with the prescription of bigs, then everything works. But in this case there is no network connection. Someone can tell you how to launch the game through the launcher. Thanks!

@RoamingCharges:
Yeah, they have an open Git Depository of the uncompiled files. You can grab those and run it with your changes as a local mod.

I got a question, now that this version has stopped development, would it be possible to allow us to edit the files in the game? I want to increase the unit caps but it won't let me do it using the way to edit most mods. Would that be possible?
Geesemen Aug 5, 2024 @ 4:03pm 
oh I see, that makes sense.. thanks for the answer! I have a new found respect for the models now lol

FX was originally a race port mod for HW2(c), and since the TAI didn't exist in HW2C we had to make something to not end up having to use HW1 textures. When HWRM came out most of the team preferred their versions over the HWRM TAI models, and since a lot of work was put into them they wanted to use them a bit longer. So the Fighters/Corvettes and utility ships were changed to HWRM, and the Frigates/Cap Ships kept using the HW2 FX models.
Geesemen Aug 5, 2024 @ 11:53am 
glad to hear :]

also question about HW2 FX, why are the textures for the taiidan using the old ones? always wondered why but never remembered to make a comment til now lol
