Legacy Homeworld 2 bugs are listed below. Homeworld 2 Bugs, Issues, and Workarounds Game Exploits See this thread . Data Modding Related Issues Campaigns Custom campaigns cannot be selected from within the default UI. They can only be loaded via the command-line switch. Campaign descriptions and level thumbnails should be listed in \"*.campaign\" files, IMO. Cannot load levels/maps from outside the (largely) hardcoded level-selection screen. Workaround suggested here , see Mikali's post. Race is set to 1 (Hiigaran) by default in singleplayer campaigns; and, there does not seem to be any way around except by reversing the order of races in \"races.lua\". See this thread . Game Rules It would be better if the entrance of the MS out of hyperspace at the beginning of play were done via scripting, since the workaround for delaying/modifying this is ugly. Need more functions to handle subsystems. Need a function to save persistent data in skirmishes. Automatic resource harvesting at the end of missions is really annoying. Auto-harvesting is easily disabled; however, one would still need to provide the player with a means to end the mission manually (e.g., by mapping the function to an unused key). Victory conditions based on the number of build-capable ships don't work so well when build capabilities are added to such things as fighters, corvettes and frigates. that is not such a problem; you can easily add another condition to the game ending chunk (like the ships being of capital attack family) - SunTzu New, scripted commands (such as evillejedi's kamikaze command) cause de-syncs in multiplayer. Players affecting deterministic data is not permitted in gamerules. Weapons Weapons with \"gimble\" setting will not periodically update their targeting assignment even if secondary target engagement and independent scanning is enabled. These will \"stick\" their target to the one designated either by the player, or the ship's selected target. If no target is selected, then the Gimble weapon will scan once, then \"stick\" to that regardless of whether it is within field of traverse or not. Use AnimatedTurret if you'd like to have weapons independently selecting and engaging targets without player input. Vagyr and HGN Mothership defense guns function much better as AnimatedTurret setting. Note that this does not require an actual turret model, see Vagyr Battlecruiser's side hull lasers. Munitions don't take dustcloud or nebula damage. Ships Resource collectors tend go clear across the map in search of ships to deliver their salvage to -- even when a suitable destination is close at hand. There should be a scripting method for getting/setting the inclination and azimuth of a ship, relative to the map plane. Currently this can only be done in the .level file. Marine frigates will continue their approach, even when their target is no longer visible (or no longer appears in sensors). One shouldn't be able to retire ships inside battlecruisers, IMO. Can't dock Movers with Battlecruisers. Can't retire captured carrier modules, but can retire captured mothership modules. Ships will only use one (the first) launch path, even when several exist. Can't build ships from other races. There have been some workarounds suggested. See this thread . A greater number of ships may temporarily dock with a target ship than is specified for the target ship's shiphold size. AI AI doesn't avoid radioactive nebulae. AI doesn't use minelayers. AI never uses command corvettes.This can be changed in the AI building script. However the RDN docs say that AI cannot properly use the command corvettes when they build them. AI never repairs its own ships. AI never retires ships or subsystems. AI doesn't use EMP. AI doesn't use Keeper ships. This is easily fixed by editing \"data\\ai\\classdef.lua\". AI quits playing after it runs out of production/resourcing options. Starting Fleets Starting fleets are per-race, only. Per-player-and-race starting fleets would be better. See this thread . Collectors should be listed within the mothership's shiphold in the starting fleet luas rather than being listed seperately (...and having to resort to a crude hack to make them exit the shiphold as a result). Madstate Animations often work better if they start on frame 2 instead of frame 1, for some reason. See this thread . Quote from the RDN docs: \"NEVER create keyframes at frame 0! Start at frame 1\" . Counting beginning with zero, frame 0 is the first frame and frame 1 is the second. UI On large maps, when a ship is past a certain distance from the camera, it cannot be selected using the mouse (even though it can still be seen). It's tactical icon will also disappear when this is the case; so, it's probably due to a setting in the .ship file. See this thread . Change the farClip value in \"ui\\camera.lua\". Sometimes the \"Edit Profile\" menu doesn't leave the screen (e.g., when the host leaves the game setup screen while you're editing your profile). This happens with other menus, too. Very laggy! It is often becomes difficult to add/remove ships to/from contol groups using the mouse, or to assign a target to a ship. The level name isn't displayed in the game setup screen when joining a game with a custom level. Can't use the keyboard to navigate through the front-end menus. This can probably be made to work by modifying \"keybidings.lua\" (in the \"locale\\english\\scripts\" directory). Can probably even make the bound actions vary depending on the currently-active screen. -Mikali It would be nice to be able to view more than one thumbnail per map. More substantial text level descriptions would have been nice. One workaround is to add the text to the level thumbnail in a graphics program. It would be better if one were able to select levels from more than one directory. This would make it possible to distribute levels made to work with specific mods, while still allowing the player player to play on maps meant for 'vanilla' HW2 when running the mod. Clicking on the queue (accessed in game using the 'q' key) a second time should close the build/research window. The Diplomacy menu is not available in Skirmish mode. (Arguably, this would give the player an unfair advantage over the CPU.) The kick player dialog steals focus from the chat window. This is really annoying. Levels It should not be possible to add clouds or pebbles to a level from within the DetermChunk portion of a level file, as they do not get saved along with the rest of the map data when saving the game. There may be issues, where programmatically creating start positions causes games to de-sync in multiplayer (but not in skirmish). See this thread . Can't have \"extra\" CPU players like you could in HW1. There is a maximum limit of six players in a game; and, all six players are visible in the game-setup screen. Other When added to the HW2 shortcut, the \"-GameRule\" flag is often ignored (I think). As of the 1.1 patch, the randomseed function is ignored. What the devs could have done is created a global variable containing a random seed value. This way map authors would have the choice whether to use a random seed value or a pre-defined seed value. Lua tables start with index number 1. Some tables, such as the 'player' table in level files, begin with index number 0. Unfortunately, Lua treats index number 0 like a string index--making iterating through tables difficult. Missions Game-stopping bug in Mission 12. See this thread . Multiplayer Kicking players should be done via a vote, IMO. Stuff that can only be done in Maya See this thread . Engine Limitations Also, see this thread ) Object Size Limit: Objects cannot be larger than somewhere around 25000 units. One solution is to split a model up into several sections and then bind them together. Please update this with the correct info, and a link to a discussion thread, preferably. -Mikali Object Number Limit: Through testing I have found out that you can have 5000 asteroids in a map, but not 10000. I don't know the exact cut-off number, and whether this applies to all objects. -Mikali Render Distance Limit: There is a farClip value in \"camera.lua\". Objects beyond this distance from the camera are not rendered. This makes creating/playing on large maps difficult. Very Large Objects (VLOs) & Collision: Collision meshes can only take the shape of a rectangular prism. In order to have more complex collision meshes, you'll have to split your model into several smaller objects. See this thread and this thread . The hyperspace effect is hardcoded. Performance See this thread and this thread . Game Recordings See this thread and this thread . No. Polygons See this thread . Differences with Mac version See this thread and this thread . Bugs/Errors/Typos The parameter RequiredResearch for PlatformIonWeapons in the Hiigaran \"research.lua\" is mispelled. HW2 prints the following error message regarding the 16-bit color-depth setting. \"do not show again has not been hooked up properly for this dialog. you must give your message a name\" The pop-up window is not supposed to appear after you have checked the box. \"FrigateSpeedUpgrade2\" is misnamed for all Vaygr ships. \"Fleet Defense\" is mispelled in the description for the Defense Field Frigate. The description for the Hgn Gun Turret should say \"StaticDefense\" instead of \"StatiMinelayer\". There's a typo in \"ShipTuning.xls\". The string \"RepairAbility\" should be \"MinelayerAbility\" in the Minelayer Ability section. 'data\\scripts\\scar\\scar_util.lua' contains many instances of poorly-formed strings. The 'vgr_prisonstation' (as well as its special sensors module) is missing an icon in 'shipicons.lua'. If you zoom in real close to a ship, the level light source will shine through the model. Level glare set using the setGlareIntensity function doesn't work with all graphics chipsets/drivers. See this thread . Tech Sharing If you've researched, say, Battlecruisers or Destroyers and you transfer a ship with a Capital Module, your teammate benifits from your research and is able to build those ships. Badge Glitch (Not sure exactly how this works.) If you're in the GS lobby and a player has applied a badge you haven't downloaded yet, a different badge is displayed in its place. Players Dropping I suspect I've noticed that players drop frequently when I do very rapid zooms using the mouse wheel. Players still drop and game desync all too frequently for other reasons. Game Loading Games often freeze in multiplayer when initially loading. The function \"SobGroup_FillSubstract\" is mispelled. Related Pages Elite modding taskforce: what needs to be figured out?

Below is a long list of parameters, some of them are older and may not work with the latest version of Homeworld Remastered. Steam Auto Load Instructions Go to your Steam Library Right click on Homeworld Remastered Collection Click Properties, and click Set Launch Options Type in the desired parameters. For example: -nomovies -luatrace Note that capitalization does matter for some parameters. Desktop Shortcuts Instructions Create a shortcut to this location: “C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Homeworld\\HomeworldRM\\Bin\\Release\\HomeworldRM.exe” Add the desired parameters to the end of the target location. For example: -nomovies -luatrace Note that capitalization does matter for some parameters. General -params < path\\params.txt > - Loads a text file containing a list of parameters, with each parameter on a separate line. This is useful to go beyond the character limit in Windows shortcuts. If the path contains spaces, you will need to surround the path with double quotes (Example: -params “c:\\users\\ < user name > \\Desktop\\params.txt ”). Note, this command does not work with the steam auto load instructions and must be called from a desktop shortcut. Other commands may be affected as well, but most seem to work with the steam auto load method. Languages -locale < language > Loads the specified language .big instead of your default language Controls -CameraDragX mouse speed multiplier -CameraDragY mouse speed multiplier -freeMouse Free the mouse from being constrained by the window boundaries. Press Ctrl+F11 once or twice to toggle edge-of-screen pan -noMouseCap The game won't capture the mouse into on the first frame -hardwareCursor enable hardware cursor. Likely no longer works. -smCentreCamera Focuses the camera at the center of the map when Home is pressed -noMinimise Overrides Alt+Tab command when process is running -noPause The game will not be auto-paused when Alt+Tab or the WinKey is pressed. Graphics -windowed Windowed mode. May need to specify a w and h resolution. -window Starts the game in a window -freeWindow or -freeWindow=1 Don't apply any rules to the cmd-line ’s window properties. Things like ‘dont go off screen’ or ‘don’t be wider than all screens’, etc. -noborder Disables window borders -fullscreen Full screen mode -fakeFullscreen Fullscreen without any border, doesn't respond to window focus changes the same way either. Handy for using fullscreen on a multi-monitor system. -forceResolution -w 1910 -h 1010 Custom resolution -w < width > Screen resolution width. Has to be used in conjunction with correct height. -h < height > Screen resolution height. Has to be used in conjunction with correct width. -x < horizontal pos > Horizontal screen position in pixels. Has to be used in conjunction with vertical position. -y < vertical pos > Vertical screen position in pixels. Has to be used in conjunction with horizontal position. -800 800x600 Resolution -640 640x480 Resolution -1024 1024x768 Resolution -1280 1280x980 Resolution -1600 1600x1200 Resolution -refresh < refresh rate > Changes the refresh rate. Set it to your desktop resolution and refresh rate for quick alt-tabbing. -facetCount 24 Draws screen in vertical slices to prevent distortion, ‘bends’ the view. Can allow for 360 degree rendering, etc. For 3 screens, use multiples of 3 up to 24. Using 3 will make each screen a unique view side by side. Ideal formula: width_in_pixels_for_360_degrees =  [ tan(180/number_of_facets) / tan(default_FOV/2) ] * height_in_pixels * number_of_facets More information is here . -BACK_FOV=70 Changes the background FOV. The foreground FOV stays the same, and so wraps around. Use with facecount to prevent the background/foreground from being visually separate. Can use lower numbers. -facetAutoFOV=180 Use with facetcount to limit total horizontal FOV. Can use any number like 90, 120, 180, 360 etc. This pulls down your vertical FOV to whatever is required for the width of your views to be that many degrees. If you know, sitting at your desk, that relative to where your head usually is the ‘arc’ of your monitors is a specific amount (usually something like 120-140), setting this near that will result in your screens suddenly looking like a port in to actual space. It’s a bit creepy. At least with facetCount=24. This can also be used to limit those cases where the ultra-wide view (5:1 and up) are seeing more than 360 (where ships repeat on the edges). Now they can be exactly 360, by having the vertical FOV pulled down a small bit. -uiLeft=0.34 UI left border position (useful for triple monitor setups) -uiRight=0.66 UI right border position -uiTop=0.0 UI top border position -uiBottom=1.0 UI bottom border position Advanced Graphics -noVideoErrors Disables error messages caused by incompatible graphics cards, video settings, etc. -nopbuffer Disables pixel buffer.

I've added in the ability to create a mod that is \"localization only\" (for creating new localization text that isn't supported by the game) that will allow you to load it in multiplayer without requiring everyone in mp to have it loaded as well.

Quote from \"HW2_SCAR.pdf\": \"A Rule is simply a user-defined function that, once \"added\", is then evaluated by the game every interval. The Rule is added by using the Rule_Add( \"name of Rule\" ) function, and passing in the name of the Rule that you wish to add. The interval that the Rule is evaluated at can either be the default (every frame) or can be set (every x seconds), using the Rule_AddInterval function in place of the Rule_Add . The interval can be defined on a per-Rule basis, allowing you to specify a different interval for every Rule that you have.\" For example: function myRuleFunction () print ( \" Hello! Gametime is now: \" .. Universe_GameTime ()); end Rule_AddInterval ( \" myRuleFunction \" , 1 ); -- call it every 1 second 💡 Using Rule_Add can be expensive, and you will rarely need to call a function as fast as possible; for this reason its generally preferred to use Rule_AddInterval .
