Has anyone got the cosmic_BG and cosmic_bg_a shaders to work in background hods? I get a black image, in the proper place and the MASK channel works fine, if I change the shader to bgmoon or bg_planet the texture displaysm but with the wrong effect and blending (need full bright transparency) I have also trie saving the TGA as 24 and 32 bit and setting the shader texture parameters to things other than DXT5 to see if would display anything

In my mod I am adding several "characters" with lines of dialogue. What would be a good way to indicate to the player that some ships can be talked to, but others cannot? I need some sort of visual indicator that can be seen at a glance. Thanks!

Other than writing to a file and then reading it, what's a good way to pass values (mostly strings) between gametype scripts and GUI scripts? Thanks.

I'm trying to change some text on a button. I see a few possible choices for functions:
UI_SetButtonTextHotkey UI_SetTextLabelText UI_SetLabelTextHotkeyI don't really understand what the first one does. (Why the need for a hotkey?) And the second one doesn't work with buttons AFAIK.
Are there other methods? Thanks.
[edit]
Never mind. I think `UI_SetButtonTextHotkey is definitely what I want. But is there a list somewhere of unused keyboard keys I can bind to the button? Right now I have it set to key #666. Thanks.

Is it possible to make a ship only appear in sensors manager? Also, is it possible to edit the pie plate model?
[edit]
I was able to do the former by setting
NewShipType.meshRenderLimit=0.

I created a TextButton in the in-game GUI. I can make it stretch horizontally. Has anyone been able to get one to expand vertically and wrap the text? Thanks.

So I unzipped a save game file using 7zip. I got a file that is semi-readable in Notepad, but a lot is garbled. What format is this file? I know that the
globalstable is reproduced in it, but nothing about the rest. I tried decompiling it using SpookyRAT, but got an error.

Does anyone have an updated version of this script or a similar script or workaround?
http://hw2bsg.org/wiki.hw2.info/UserFunctionSobGroup_SplitGroup.html
It is returning multiple ships in a single sobgroup, because "there are only two ships in sSobGroupToSplit".
Thanks.
[edit]
Never mind. The same function exists in "data\leveldata\multiplayer\lib\lib.lua" but renamed to
SobGroup_SplitGroupFromGroup, and I just used the workaround Gearbox devised.

It seems the function
SobGroup_OwnedBy()returns-1for the human player instead of0. Anyone know why this is the case?

Here’s an event from my mod that I adapted from the Postmortem mod/tutorial.
{ {"obj_prim_newobj_id = Objective_Add( sectorName .. ': Build a Scout', OT_Primary )",""}, {"Objective_AddDescription( obj_prim_newobj_id, 'Build one Scout squadron to win the mission.')",""}, HW2_SubTitleEvent( Actor_FleetIntel, "Build one Scout squadron to win the mission.", 4 ), },Why are some commands surrounded by quotes? What is the difference between a quoted command and a non-quoted command? Why is there an extra pair of empty quotes at the end of some commands?
Thanks.

I’m looking at the in-game timer in newtaskbar.lua. It has a parameter that formats the time into HH:MM:SS.
customFormat = "%H:%M:%S",Is there a way to get it to show days as well? I’ve tried changing it but the game just crashes. Thanks.
[edit]
I managed to write my own code for this and used it to replace Gearbox’s timer:
function seconds_to_days_hours_minutes_seconds(total_seconds) local time_days = floor(total_seconds / 86400) local time_hours = floor(mod(total_seconds, 86400) / 3600) local time_minutes = floor(mod(total_seconds, 3600) / 60) local time_seconds = floor(mod(total_seconds, 60)) if (time_hours < 10) then time_hours = "0" .. time_hours end if (time_minutes < 10) then time_minutes = "0" .. time_minutes end if (time_seconds < 10) then time_seconds = "0" .. time_seconds end return time_days .. ":" .. time_hours .. ":" .. time_minutes .. ":" .. time_seconds end

Ever since the relicnews forums went down, we lost all of the old threads on obscure small topics concerning homeworld 1 classic modding.
In my quest to disable any and all polygon model scaling in Homeworld 1 Classic, I ran across this ancient thread, which made me want to search old ancient posts in the modding forum at relicnews:
Now, is there such a setting that I can switch on in Homeworld 1 Classic?
Or do I need to go into each…
and every…
*.lod file…
and modify the view distance at which the .lod files are switched?
Because that is annoying if that is the only way to disable the low polygon models. I just want to play this game, in all of it’s nostalgic glory, without having my ships look like little blobs of twigs stapled together because I zoomed out 1 time. It’s not necessary when you have an i7 processor and a Geforce GTX 980 Ti.
Any suggestions? Any and all help is appreciated.

When you click the Objectives button it automatically closes the Recall button, and vice versa. What makes this possible? I don’t see anything obvious that would control this behavior in the GUI screens themselves.
Also, what determines whether a screen can be closed using the Esc key?
Thanks!

Are there any ships in HWRM that can both hyperspace and dock inside another ship? Right now I am using this difference to distinguish between different types of ships, and am worried it might result in problems later on. Thanks.

If I copy an old ship using LoadSharedModel into another ship, do I need to make copies of the old ship’s Lua and Events files as well? Or will the new ship fetch them automatically from the old ship? For instance, I want to create a “hgn_mothership_karan” that uses the same model and animations as “hgn_mothership”. Thanks.
[edit]
I’m trying to test this, but the generic error messages are less than useful.
