Hi Axatar. Really great tutorial. Your method still works. I managed to repeat all the steps and extract files from several .bip archives (only in HomeworldRM\Data folder). I have not been able to download files for Classic, HW1Campaign.big and HW2Campaign.big, but everything else works. Thanks.
Going nuts trying to get this to work, the archive tool returns "ERROR: Failed To Initialize Archive" other wise thank you for being the only person to provide a guide for this, just spent 2 hours trying to find a proper tutorial on using RODOH to get the current versions from HOD to DAE
Hello, i forgot to mention that before using the archive tool, you had to decrypt them first :/ using this tool github.com/mon/bigDecrypter/releases sorry
hello i am wondering if you still have these models available for me to download as cfhoded cannot open a majority of the .hods extracted from pre 2.0 .bigs, cheers!
doesnt work at step4 now - CFHODeD errors System.IO.EndOfStreamException: Unable to read beyond the end of the stream. at System.IO.__Error.EndOfFile() at System.IO.MemoryStream.InternalReadInt32() at System.IO.BinaryReader.ReadInt32() at Homeworld2.HOD.Texture.Mip.ReadIFF(IFFReader IFF, String FourCC) CFHodEd.exe Information: 0 : Skipping chunk: ID: "POOL" Type: 'Default' I think CFHODEd needs updating to cover new POOL id etc.
There seems to be an issue with the decryption software. I'me getting the same erro as OverSavior when attempting to decrypt the .big files. They are downloaded from Steam fine but when attempting to use big decrypter the below error appears. "Homeworld Remastered .big decrypter v1.4 by monty. github.com/mon/bigDecrypter Opening F:\New Folder\Decrypt\HW2Ships.big... Performing sanity check... Loading cipher... 0xDEADBE7A should be 0 bytes from file end Could not read encryption block location, is file wrong format or not encrypted? Press any key to continue . . ." Are you still able to decrypt the files yourself?
Hey, been trying to get these models following the guide. I've done this once before, but this time I can't seem to get it to work. If I try to launch created bat file, after I enter my credentials it says "'DepotDownloader.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Later I figured that there's actually no exe file, only a bunch of dll files. I tried to find an older version of DepotDownloader hoping there would be that exe file, but no luck. Any idea where I can find it? Or am I supposed to somehow compile those dlls?
I have used the 2.2.0 version, things might have changed in later versions that probably make some things stated in the video obsolete. you should check the documentation :)
@@Axatar The documentation offers no explanation. Can you provide a link to the 2.2.0 version, or determine how to handle this process with the current version?
@@Axatar I found it, but it stops at "Downloading depot manifest..." and after three hours, has remained unchanged. No files were added to the directory in that time.
Awesome tutorial Axatar. But I'm stuck. When I try to open CFHodEd it says I need DirectX 7 or newer. I'm on Win10. Did you have any problems with this?
man i need ur help :S the file.bat print this in the screen. "DepotDownloader.exe" is not recognized as an internal or external command, program or batch file executable. sorry for my bad english :/
Please Please Redo this tutorial I am severely lost and confused. I really want this to work but due to how vague you are at points and how you don't elaborate on your process - doesn't help I am seriously getting upset over something that should be fairly easy. Redo the tutorial, read from a script that goes through *every* step. Don't go on tangents like "You could read this OR NOT" . . Also practice staying a certain distance from your mic and speak clearly and audibly. If you did this, it would help a ton of people (including me)
Thank you! Finally stumbled across this, been wanting to 3d print some of the models to paint.

Hello, is it possible to extract 3d models from a pirate, if so, do you know how???
If you can tell me I will be very grateful
It seems that you can no longer download the files in the first place...
Unfortunately I think the recent 2.3 update removed the old .bigs from steam, so you can't download them anymore.
shit :( , I can't do anything about it :/
You can download an earlier Yarred release of the game.
Yay! Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial.

Starganderfish hello, I managed to decrypt the old downloaded files, try extracting them and tell me what happens :-)
did you manage to fix this?

@@sampel5547 the link for the 2.2.0 is on the github releases

I writed a comment here how to do it with 2.3.2.
Awesome tutorial Axatar. But I'm stuck. When I try to open CFHodEd it says I need DirectX 7 or newer. I'm on Win10. Did you have any problems with this?
Ravenbolt thanks :-) ,I don't have win10 but maybe look on their website or try using compatibility mode,as I have never had this problem
I got CFHODED to open. Needed to install a win10 fix for general directx issues. Sadly I get the same error message as Antenociti.
Same problem on win10. But it works on win8.1 by the way.
Is it working for mods as well? I want to extract models from Homefront, a Halo mod for Homeworld 2 Remastered.
I don't know, probably, you should look for the mod's .big file and see what happens :)
where did you get cold fusion hod remastered editor?
Hi great Axatar. I have a question. Works with HW 2 RM? i trying 1 year ago but not have results...
yes it works, just make sure to follow all the steps and it should work
Axatar thanks i try again. 👌
man i need ur help :S the file.bat print this in the screen.
"DepotDownloader.exe" is not recognized as an internal or external command,
program or batch file executable.
sorry for my bad english :/
Did you create the .bat file in the same directory as DepotDownloader.exe ?
Axatar yes i download HW2Ships.Big now dont use gbx's tool. The file archive.exe and shortcut no respondin. I open and inmediatly close crashed....
Did you solve this? , I have the same problem
@@pablopolis2011 no... :/
I am trying to do the same thing, I noticed that the latest depotdownloader doesn't have an exe file anymore.
Hello, will your process work with extracting models from the Homeworld Mods?
Hi, probably, if the data structure is the same :D
cold fusion hod remastered editor does it work for HWR 2.0+?
Check description
Sadly this tutorial needs a update
cool vid, but holy... you are either a mile away of too freekin close to the mic.... :)
I know, i just got used to my then-new microphone :)

I didn't have time then to write a script or even rehearse what I was going to talk about. This video was made on the first attempt 😊😊
@@Axatar oh dang. . But could you remake the tutorial some day?
maybe one day™
