After
a few months of downtime I am pleased to report that this site is now
back up and running again - apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Here is something I had not expected to find after all this time - a
new GW3 movie on YouTube of all places - it looks rather nice!

Spooky
has completed his second tool for Dawn of War - his .RSH Texture Viewer/Extractor
allows you to view and extract the .RSH files found in the game. More
information can be found here,
and the tool can be downloaded from our new Dawn
of War tools section.
After a break Crook has returned to work on his high-poly Millenium
Falcon, which is now nearly finished! You can read more about this model
here,
and there are some pictures below:

Since
our last update Spooky and Crook have both been busy developing modding
tools. Spooky has just released version 2.0.0 of his Relic Archive tool,
the new version of which can extract the contents of the .sga files
found in the new Warhammer 40,000 based RTS game, Dawn
of War. Although the full version of Dawn of War has not yet been
released, this tool also allows you to open the files found in the demo
version! Further information can be found here
and the tool can be downloaded from our tools
section.
Crook has produced two very useful tools for modding Half Life. BSP
WAD Texture Inserter enables you to insert single textures from
a WAD texture file back into a a BSP map, and the Startup
Screen Converter allows you to produce startup splash screens.
CnlPepper has finished his outstanding game model of the EA Omega and
has kindly given us permission to use it in Homeworld 2. There are some
images of it below, and you can find more information in this
thread in our forums.

Farscape has also just finished an excellent high-poly model of
the huge EA Explorer. If you'd like to discuss this model or see more
pictures, have a look at this
thread.

Our
mods have received some very positive coverage in the September edition
of PC Gamer (UK).
The article is in a section discussing successful modding projects and
has some nice things to say about us:
"The four Great Wars mods captured some of the bitter conflicts
and awe-inspiring weaponry from the TV series. They showed just what
can be done with the original Homeworld toybox and they're now a benchmark
for what can be achieved with the sequel."
In other news Crook has been working on new Nial, Lintari, and Victory
models, more details on which can be found in this
thread. CnlPepper has also made a very welcome return to the modding
scene with his
Omega Class Destroyer.

webspace is sadly still down but we've put up alternative links to
the majority of our files, apart from the Homeworld tools page which
I'm currently repairing. I'm also putting together a documents and tutorials
section for the site.

Homeworld
2: Babylon 5!
We're pleased
to announce the start of our new project, the Babylon 5 total conversion
for Homeworld 2, which we hope will eventually recreate the B5 universe
to an extent never possible in the original Homeworld. The website is
being redesigned to reflect the changes, and you can keep updated in
our forum or in this thread
at RelicNews.
As of the time of writing, our files at the Gaming Union are still down
and there's no news on when they will be restored. We're setting up
mirrors to all our downloads so that this won't happen again.

The
Gaming Union, the website which hosts our files, is currently down as
a result of some server problems. Hopefully everything will be back
to normal in a few days but this means that our forum and downloads
are currently out of action.

Crook
has released his Starfury for Homeworld 2! This model is just an experiment,
and replaces the hig_interceptor. Hopefully the first of many more to
come. Extract the file to your homeworld 2 folder, and use a shortcut
with -overridebigfile to make it work.

We've
finally got some news about Homeworld 2! Crook has been experimenting
with putting our existing models into the game, and has so far released
pictures of the Starfury and the Narn G'Quan. More detail about what
he's been doing can be found in this thread
in our forums, and this thread
over at RelicNews. The font in the last screenshot was changed with
Crook's Homeworld 2 Font Editor.
