gearbox is crooked af.

and yet, I'm not the one insulting people who are trying to be helpful to other Steam users just because my fragile ego has been bruised am I?

you arent one of the mod devs, retard

stay out of this

Hi Kashi, this isn't down to the mod devs but a long-term problem on the part of the Gearbox launcher which corrupts mod files during the transfer from the Steam Workshop folder to the games own mod folder.

Gearbox have been aware of the issue for years and never bothered to fix it.

how about the devs just fixes theyre own mod instead of everyone else having to do it

Still valid, just remember that you still need to manually fix your mods since Gearbox refuse to fix the launcher

is it still valid with the latest updates?

also - in any case - KUDOS, bro! the idea is just epic

Refer to the Pinned General Failure fix above, the launcher is likely corrupting the mod.

when starting up the game i keep getting a snowy screen then randomly get access violation

You've hit the problem the HW launcher has with corrupting your mods when it first copies them from your main Steam directory. Follow the steps in the pinned discussion above the comment section.

uhm, is there a way to fix the skirmish mode? cause I started a skirmish mode with Terran confederation WC I & II against random HW2 faction and it gives me an "Access Violation error"

Is there a way to fix this?

What kind of error do you have, and if it is a general failure one, check the relevant post.

Glad you enjoyed it, @IronDeath84.

This is such a cool mod, I love it!

ebat blyat cool mod

How do you capture carriers? I cant find the unit that allows it.

@pd2 doozer have a look just above the comments to the general failure post. It's a problem with the Gearbox launcher corrupting mods when it transfers them from the Steam Workshop directory into the games own directory.

Does it every time a mod updates.

im new to homeworld mods, and when i try to lauch only the 2 mods for flag commander, it crashes

Thank you for your help, Rufus Shinra. WC 1/2 units are now working!

The convoys jump in, and the merc frigs blow em up, tried a few things but it wont work, i dont think you can order fighters to suicide into them either

The frigates being friendly and uncontrollable is OK, but you're saying they're attacking your own convoys? Not THAT is a bug I should check indeed. The privateers are supposed to hunt other players' convoys to keep an escort need.

not sure if its a bug or faction related byt the convoys are getting attacksed by these pirate/merc frigates bit i cant do anything about it cause they show up as friendly and uncontrollable

For the WC1/2 factions, you need the associated DLC mod here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1177490387

The content is separate because the Steam workshop doesn't like files bigger than 2GB.

Beautiful mod. Able to run WC 3/4 races just fine, but when I try to do WC 1/2 races it crashes to desktop. I tried the pinned general failure fix and it hasn't resolved the issue. Any suggestions?

Tried to run a singlplayer in mod, but game crashes back to desktop.
Skirmish against Ai work just fine.

well my pile of screenshots from playing this mod have had 3 people ask me what mod it is and Ive given them the name and link so hopefully thats 3 more people converted :D

@JohnStar145 Have you performed the pinned general failure process? As far as I know that should fix most of your issues and is an issue only because Gearbox borked their launcher then never bothered fixing it.

Has anyone getting access violation upon loading a player vs. cpu skirmish mode?

@Miss Kitten The FLUFF please look above the comment section at the pinned discussion that tells you how to fix the crashing issues.

Before you scream and rage at the developer who has presented a fix you didn't look for it isn't just "this mod" that has this issue. The game launcher made by Gearbox is the source of the problem as corrupts the mod files for just about every mod when it transfers the mod files from your steam folders to the actual game folders. Gearbox is aware of the issue and have done nothing about it for years.

The mod unable to play. Every map, and every race on my end ctd the game out. Every loading screen end up with a catastrophic failure, general error, system termianted or other error messages in 7-9 different languages.

Several times reinstalled!
Every Other Single Mod, Pack or Anything else! EVERYTHING! Works perfectly! EVERYTHING!!!

So, the problem not in my system before the "great" maker start with that card!

HAVE TO BE FIXED!

fixed
ty :)

Steelwork, this is a common problem with Homeworld mods and is entirely the fault of the Gearbox launcher. For some reason it corrupts the files upon downloading. Look right above the comment section and you'll see a pinned thread telling you how to sort the issue.

Only downside is that anytime a mod updates you'll have to redo the process.

général failure upon launch. my friend dont have this problem tho

It would be nice to have better reports, or if you checked the pinned thread just above indicating the fix if the Steam download messed up and left you with a corrupted version of the mod. :-)

this mod crashed my game

In Player vs CPU, setting an AI to a WC 1&2 faction on a vanilla map seems to make the game CTD, with a 'General Failure' message. Or at least it did on two of the 6P maps I've tried. Haven't been through every iteration, but that seems to be what's causing the crash. I'm using the Secret Missions mod, and those factions appear to work fine on other maps.

Is this singleplayer, i cant get multiplayer matches to connect?

Actually it seems to be something of an issue with Hvar'Khan as well though that sometimes resolves itself.

I've noticed something of a problem with the Kilrathi Ralarrad Light destroyers hangar, the game lets me task a squadron of Dralthi IV's to land on it but they can't seem to find a way into the hangar bay. The fighters just hang there on the starboard side on the hangar not doing anything but keeping perfect position with the ship as it moves.

A similar problem occurs with the Ralaxath Heavy Destroyer where they just hang there at the entrance to the hangar not wanting to land.

Hi, quick question, i love the mod and will play it for hours on end, however there is no weapon sounds for me, just wondering if that is supposed to be like that

Oh. Do you have downloaded and activated the secondary mod 'Secret Missions'? The workshop limits the size of individual mods, so these two factions cannot hold in a single package and you need to use the second package activated at the same time as Flag Commander. Grab Secret Missions here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1177490387

it happens when i use Terran Confederation and kilrathi empire era 1&2 all era 3&4 work fine

Huh?

1) Can you tell me on which map, using which factions?
2) Can you start the game with the mod while writing the following text in the small text window of the launcher below the mod list:

-luatrace

(with the -, that is)

If it crashes again, go to your game folder, and in it to \HomeworldRM\Bin\Release\, open with Notepad the file called HWRM.log and send in the comments the last dozen lines or so of the file. It'll help me see what went wrong. Thanks!

i get an access violation everytime i start a skirmish battle

Gratz Rufus!!

And well deserved too.

Yay!

There's a link just below the description that explains what you need to do when Steam messed up the download and gets you this problem. ;-)

I get a 'General Failure' when I try to start the MOD.

No problem. Enjoy!
