Requirements

This repository contains only the source code for Homeworld's engine (metaphorically, the skeleton). In order to have a playable game, you will need the original assets (artwork, textures, sounds, meshes, ... Metaphorically again, the flesh).

So make sure you have:

The Homeworld CD
The 1.05 Patch

Asset checklist

To sum it up, here are the files required for the game to run:

Homeworld.big

sha256: af9dcc06e3f99404334a0a8ec17e399876080e85feb5b47858382dc715136040
Update.big (This comes from the official 1.05 Patch)

sha256: c71b07758ee7696b3a19c1d75c946cbd68830e03b30cd3c2888f2f6d22b7c976
HW_Comp.vce

sha256: 15c4b988adb09b0969b0dc288b21ddc10ca9d42a2064d15b46b53dcf02fc2e44

sha256: b909c2cdbc8c8db67be168f6005bf8e8facaa9857263b16d186c824a0c4eed4f
HomeworldSDL.big (This file should be included in the [releases])

Usually you will find these files in your installation folder. For more detailed instructions, read on.

Linux

Extracting game assets with wine

Install the game and patch with wine (tested with wine 4.1)

wine HWSetup.EXE
wine si_homeworld_update_105.exe

Open the game installation folder (usually ~/.wine/drive_c/Sierra/Homeworld). This is where you'll find the required files. We'll be getting back at them later on.

Installing the binary distribution

Download [the latest release][releases]. (Extract it if necessary)
Copy the files you gathered earlier in the folder you just downloaded
Run the game
Jump to Configuring the OpenGL renderer

Compiling from source

Please refer to Linux/BUILD.md.

Configuring the OpenGL renderer

The first time you run the game, you'll have to configure the renderer to use OpenGL. This will be saved in your ~/.homeworld, so you won't have to do it every time you run the game.

Once the game has launched, you need to:

Select "Options" from the main game menu.
Select "Video" from the available option sub-menus listed on the right side of the screen.
Select "(GL) Default OpenGL" from the "Rendering System" box.
Choose a resolution from the "Resolution" box (any resolution you choose will do fine).
Click on the "Accept!" button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

The game will now attempt to switch to the OpenGL renderer.
If everything goes okay, you should be presented with a confirmation that the settings you requested were changed. Select "Yes", and you should be ready to go!

Mac

Copy assets listed above into the Root repo directory.
Open Xcode project in Mac directory.
Run from Xcode or build.
Assets are copied into App bundle
config file is at ~Library/Application Support/Homeworld/Homeworld.cfg

homeworldsdl's Issues

Issues running in raspberry OS (pi 4/400) in 32 and 64 bit

Managed to compile de engine for both armhf (compiled in Buster) and arm64 (compiled in Bullseye) (with a few minor changes I think, just to make it compile successfully).
Everything is generally ok, however there are a few issues:

Sound gets distorted in 32 bit but it doesn't happen in raspbian 64 bit
Also with the arm64 executable when changing the speaker settings (clicking change) HomeworldSDL crashes with the following message: (null) (0): Fatal error - regVerify: invalid region 0xb3893c80 has validation key 0x56 (That doesn't happen in the 32 bit arm executable but it was compiled in buster rather than in bullseye)
And if the arm64 executable is compiled with the option --enable-movies I get a segmentation fault with the following warning: [swscaler @ 0x55848d38e0] No accelerated colorspace conversion found from yuv420p to rgb24 (probably because of ffmpeg or the limitations of the pi).

[macOS] [ARM] Mouse pointer misaligned

I managed to build Homeworld in Xcode 13 for Arm, using Monterey 12.4. (Although Raider Retreat did not build).

The game ran, but the mouse pointer disappeared after a few seconds. I was able to start a new game using the keyboard, but was not able to play without the mouse...

Compiling on ARM Linux

Hi there,
I've tried to compile on a aarch64 linux machine (Pinebook Pro) but I've received some errors. As far as I can see there are some hardcoded fix to make it build on x86_64 compilers. Do you think is possible to make it work on aarch64? do I need to compile on armhf (32bit) on a multiarch environment?

Steam Classic Version?

I was wondering if it was possible for this version to support the steam release of the homeworld 1 classic assets.

It contains a Homeworld.big and HW_Comp.vce and HW_Music.wxd, although the Homeworld.big is different.

It also does not contain the Update.big, which I've tried both using the Update.big from the official 1.05 patch, and copying Homeworld.big to Update.big.

Either way, I get the following error when trying to load:

./homeworld
memClearSetting=0x3c6ef361, memFreeSetting=0x3717bd79
     930 files found in HomeworldSDL.big
   13887 files found in Update.big
