Vanished, dead or cancelled Mods

Oh, how I hate having to do this page. But after a while, sites go quiet, files dry up, servers go down and somehow never return quite the same. These are the dead mods. Often, you'll find a pickled version of a dead mod at JST-Online's Discontinued Mods section.

Mods are declared "dead" if there's a formal declaration by the modders announcing its demise, or the website hosting it vanishes and no other signs of life can be found. Should they reappear, then they'll be restored to life again. Let me know.

0083 Stardust Memory weblink 0083 Stardust Memory: A Gundam total conversion for Homeworld that jumped to the greener pastures of the Homeworld2 engine before quietly dying from chronic inactivity. For what it's worth, you can track its history at its RelicNews Forum. It never produced anything.Back
 
Alternative Ships Mod A custom mod where every ship is replaced by new custom models. Why? Because they're there! Has anything happened yet? Not since 2002...Back
Annihilation Mod A now discontinued mod (look here at JST-Online. The Annihilation Mod lurks amongst many others in JST's downloads section. It retunes Homeworld so that the Kushan get more accurate weapons, but the Taiidan get less accurate but more devastating ones.Back
Babylon 5:
Dark Age Mods

This was another active Babylon 5 TC site that went down with its TGU Host. The Dark Age Mods were based around hi-jinks with the villainous Shadows and other nefarious beasties that menaced the original TV series', concentrating on the Centauri Empire (those way out Napoleanic retro guys with the way out sideways mohawk haircuts) who seem to be going into a bit of a decline. The scary black Shadow ships are definitely a winning feature. This was a site where the fans had a complete romp - lots of over the top warships'n'stuff for any breathless fans to sink their teeth into. The regular game shipping gets completely slaughtered by the customs, but its a definite contender for some serious custom netgaming.

Current version: 1 (plus patch). Both downloads are available here and here at JST-Online. Racy screengrabs can be found here at the Homeworld Screenshot Archive.Back

Babylon 5:
Movement of Fire & Shadow
Dark Vengeance

A pair of Babylon 5 mods, one for Homeworld and one for Cataclysm. Once again, both concern dark and nefarious to'ings and fro'ings with the dreaded Shadows and their secretive plans, corrupting the human Clark government on Earth and preying on the fading Centauri empire, desperate to return to pre-eminence. Both mods were still in their early days, both at version 0.2, when the mod was discontinued in 2002 and the site disappeared along with The Gaming Union's webserver.

You can can find a copy of both mods here at JST-Online.Back

Battlefleet Gothic Set in the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop figurine gaming world, Battlefleet Gothic is the outer-space component where the mighty armies truck around in space before blowing each other up on the field. The ships have an interesting baroque look in this total conversion, changing the feel of Homeworld considerably. There are three sides: Imperial (human), Eldar (ancient super-powerful Elven style magic users) and Orks (gun totin', tank drivin' over the top Orcs). Site deteriorating! Actually, this might have migrated across to Homeworld 2.Back
Battlestar Galactica TC A conversion that changes the Homeworld races into those funky Cylons and the clean cut Colonial Forces. The original mod disappeared online, but a new group seem to have resurrected the project. Oh oh - its gone again. Try this big Battlestar Galactica fan page and look halfway down under Games or go for the downloadable here at JST-Online. Back
BTSW modDB weblink BattleTech Space Wars (BTSW): A now discontinued BattleTech mod that made the jump to Homeworld2 (as the now defunctBTSW2) where it seemed to fizzle out there, too. Instead of focusing on big mechs clumping on the ground, BTSW's goal was to model the spacefleets that trucked them between the stars. There is a download for this, however, the 1.0 beta version can be found at the Discontinued Mods / Project page at its old host, Battlemech Mod Productions (BMP). Status: Closed.Back
Carrier OPS A fighter and corvette orientated mod that eliminates all Capital Craft save the Carrier and the Support Frigate. Nothing but dogfights with Strikecraft and Corvettes, all the way! Originally produced by The OutPost, now since lost. Try here at JST-Online. Current version: 0.1 test 1.Back
Conquerors TC A Homeworld mod based on the Conquerors' Saga of science fiction books. Since this science fiction series doesn't describe its ships in detail, the team is building all its ships from scratch on their own designs. Link lost; try hereBack
HWMods.de weblink

The Derelicts Mod converts all Kushan shipping with the out-takes and derelicts found in the Taros Graveyard single player mission amd some old, unused folders buried deep within the Homeworld .big data file. The Taiidan are replaced by the Turanic Raiders, who retain a few Taiidan ships along the way, while a number of extra custom models are added to fill in any other gaps. Site lost! Try here at JST-Online.Back

Empire
vs
Republic
A Star Wars total conversion using Homeworld, based on the Star Wars: Fleet Academy (SWFA) mod. If I've got it right, what Empire vs Republic (EvR) mod does is lay a Java based interface over the top of this custom mod to allow players to give orders in a strategic meta map and then sit back and watch the Homeworld engine act them out. EvR is based on an old turn based Star Wars email game, except this time they're hoping to combine it with a real time 3D engine. Sounds interesting - but alas it went down with its TGU host and never came back up again.Back
 
Farscape Homeworld weblink FARSCAPE Homeworld: A total conversion that transforms the Homeworld ships into the ships of the Farscape TV series. The organic hero spaceship Moya becomes the Mothership (of course!) while all the wild and woolly vehicles that appeared through the series will come together to make up the good guys and bad guys shipping. I have it on good authority that the Farscape Mod has now been declared finished and released upon an unsuspecting public: you'll find the mod in their Hangar section, and can chase further info at its forums. Current version: 1.1 It was cancelled - or rather, migrated across to the Homeworld2 engine....where it petered out.Back
Fleet Action Changes the Homeworld ship lines to those of the Wing Commander game series. The site hasn't been updated since 2002, when it moved to a new (non-existent!) site, and the old files date back to 2000. Dead?Back
Kadeshi Void
Mod
Another Kadeshi mod. For some reason the distinctive Kadehsi mushroom-needle shaped motherships have been dropped for a large, non-descript flying saucer. Losing those memorable ships from the single player missions seems to almost undo the whole point of why you'd want to play the Kadesh in the first place. You can find a downloadable here from JST-Online. Current version: 1.0 Alpha. Mod discontinued!Back
MacrossTC
(Do You Remember Love?)

If there's one thing that characterises Japanese anime and manga, its an extraordinary sense of industrial design and a propensity for really silly movie titles. (Bubblegum Crisis anyone?) Homeworld is converted into the (endless) Japanese anime classic: Super Dimension Fortress: Macross. Do You Remember Love? is the name of the anime movie based on the original TV series. Its the U.N. Spacy (earthlings) vs the insectile-mechanical Zjentohlauedy (pronounciation, anyone?) with many of the Homeworld single player bit player races being replaced as well. Some of the preliminary models and screengrabs looked promising, but this mod is discontinued. You can chase up its forums for more announcements and info here.

Last version: 1.35. There's a downloadable here at JST-Online. You may also want to check out the Homeworld2 TC of the same name. Back

Robotech: Assault Mod: A conversion to the famous Japanese Anime epic, Robotech. Is the Robotech Defence Force vs. the Zentraedi! This models look nicely detailed, but production has halted on this mod and its download links have all dried up.

Last version: 0.365. There's a downloadable here at JST-Online.Back

Ships of
the Line

The big ships slug it out This mod removes all corvettes and strikecraft except for the Scout to leave the game as a capital ship class biffo fest, in the same spirit of the dreadnoughts of old. Range and power of many of the super-capital ships has been increased, and there's a new super-duper capital class of ship available, although this ship class uses the same models as the regular super capital ships. Eventually, these mega ships will be modeled. Of note are the rather scary Ballistic Missile Destroyers that can literally bombard targets right across the map. Its gone, along with its original host, The OutPost.

Try this copy here at JST-Online instead. Current version 0.1; or 0.15 with the "Frigate and Destroyer slot test".Back

Sudden Death's
Mods
An example of big ideas, no action. Unless Sudden Death has been extraordinarily busy over the last few years and can't spare the time to update his page. Which I seriously doubt.Back
The 13th Colony The other (i.e. surviving) Battlestar Galactica mod. Current version: 0.9.3. Site lost. Try here at JST-Online.Back
Turanic Vs Kadeshi An early, never completed Homeworld mod pitting the Kadeshi and Turanic Raiders against one another. Due to certain limitations in the Homeworld game and a slight lack of interest, only a large chunk of the Turanic side was ever released, hosted at HWMods.de. Oh dear - site lost! Last version: 2-mp.Back
Wild Universe Its incomplete, but WU is a crazy collage of weird and wonderful ships that replacing the regular Homeworld shipping: you get Doctor Who's TARDIS, Blake 7's Liberator, Space: 1999's Eagle, Galaxy Quest's Trek-esque cruiser, the movie Aliens' Sulaco, the Last Starfighter, the Lexx and even a Space Invader. Its another orphan from the mostly non-functional TGU, unfortunately. You can find it here at JST-Online, though. Have fun!Back
