Where to get HW/HW2 models?
-
I have some problems, the DXripper doesnt work with HW, and the tools doesnt work either D=
-
The DXripper doesnt show up in-game.
And about the tools, it pop ups a strange window about installing something “Microsoft Windows Game Redistributable” dun remember exactly what it said. After trying to install a few times and failing the program executes, but I cant extract the .big files. -
You’re using 3d ripper correctly I assume? Launch 3d ripper, browse for the exe for homeworld at the top, then select launch at the bottom. You have to use 3d ripper to launch the game, you can’t launch the game from it’s own shortcut.

Is HW 3d game?
@Fagu: Maby the game is too old for the program to include it in it’s DB? Or the game just works on very old DX features, so the program can’t see it.
I actually only guess, I don’t know how the program works since I have DX11… -
Homeworld is OpenGL I believe.

Well if it’s opengl then your screwed with the ripper route, it will not work with software rendering either.
Still, all is not lost, like I said earlier, the tools and instructions are on the relic site, trust me, if they were difficult to use I wouldn’t have bothered using them some time ago.
FF is right, I just dug out my old copy and it calls for opengl supported hardware on the back of the box.

HW1 is OpenGL, later in a patch was given a possibility for DX software rendering. HW2 is DirectX 9b, but only uses DirectX8 features.
EDIT: HW1, HW: Cataclysm and HW2 are all 3D games. So yes, HW is 3D games. You might wanna take a look here: http://hw2wiki.net/wiki.hw2.info/ResourcesTools.html
