PDS ships in regular Homeworld 2
EviLincarnatE
I was wondering if i could make it so i could use a few PDS ships in regular hw2? if so, how? what the heck is this: Harobeam

First off, please define you're first question in greater detail.

Secondly, This Hamharo is Harochan, our resedent laser ball thing and spam buster Harobeam. Do NOT bring about his wrath.
 
Thorin
He's right. You should not incur the wrath of Harochan.

And yes, you can. Go for it.

What i meant was i wanted to bring only certain ships from PDS into regular homeworld2, so while playing homeworld2 i could maybe build a tulwar or one of those avenger fighter squadrons. and i have one question: how would i do this?

wait, dont bring about HIS wrath? I thought chan was for females and san was for males?

you have to copy the ship file from the pds directory to the regular HW directory, also u have to copy all of the weapon and animation files that the ship uses.

You know we all could be reading a book right now.

Putting an AS ship into PDS will give you a similar result to putting a PDS ship into stock.

As for AS ship into stock - your computer probably explodes due to collateral damage.

Uh... "-chan" implies cutesey-ness. It is usually reserved for children, little siblings, and so-called "chibbies".

And, actually, a Khopesh is quite fun in vanilla.

And - oh god. Haro-chan. XD Er. Anyhow.

How to input PDS ships into vanilla HW2, you ask?

Delete all the other ships. That's the simpler method.

Of course, the mere appearance of an HGN Arelian Defender against a maxed group of Vaygr standard BC sends the Vaygr ships running away.

Imagine a fully armed and oped Battlestar in place of the dreadnaught in that mission where it breaks. Buahahaha.
 
EviLincarnatE
where in the regular homeworld directory? the homeworld2 folder, data folder, or bin folder?
 
MarieHawke
C:\[insert location here]\Homeworld2\Data\ship and delete everything in there except for what you want. After that, delete everything but the Homeworld2\Data\Ship and Homeworld2\Data\Animatics folders.

Indeed, those should be the originals (all three) from the installation of the game itself. If you remove one of thsoe, you are in big trouble. Smile

I r confused, ok, how do i put only the HGN Arelian Defender into player vs. CPU and campaign?
 
Inert
You do realize that... if you put PDS ships into stock HW2... stock HW2 ships would explode out of sheer embarrassment. Just a warning... ;D
 
EviLincarnatE
yeah, i put a battlestar :evil: into vanilla, and it defeated about 6 vaygr battlecruisers. with only a scout squad for backup. wow. (the scouts would possibly be described as "cannon fodder")

i put in a lot of other ships, but the game quit because it couldnt find the animations or something.
