Homeworld Stats Program

    Homeworld Stats Description: It's a program that you run after a Homeworld multiplayer game, that ranks player performance in different areas. I personally think that was a lacking feature in Homeworld. If you've had the chance to play a game, then you know that as soon as all opponents are killed, the game is over and you're thrown back to the main menu -- no statistics, no rankings, no nothing. Homeworld Stats is an attempt to fix that. It is easy to use and very fun, as it allows players to rant or brag about the way they and their opponents play.

    Updated 1.01a to will run with Homeworle 1.04:
  • Windows 95/98 version: http://dl.fileplanet.com/dl/dl.asp?StrategyPlanet/hwstats/hwstats.zip
  • Windows NT version: http://dl.fileplanet.com/dl/dl.asp?StrategyPlanet/hwstats/hwstats-NT.zip
  • Yet another Stats /Converter Displayer

Homeworld Patches

Version 1.05 Patch

The Homeworld Update Version 1.05, featuring additional game tuning, bug fixes, and many added features (including dedicated server support), is now available for download.

This patch will update versions 1.00, 1.03 and 1.04 of Homeworld to version 1.05. Please see the file readme.txt for a complete list of changes and updates.

Version 1.03 Description: The second piece of news for Homeworld's growing band of devotees is that a 1.7Mb version 1.03 patch has been released for the game. The patch will fix:
  • Auto-detection of firewalls, where previously the game would always detect that you were behind a firewall.
  • Previously, Open GL was not available for any of the Nvidia TNT cards under Windows9x. This was disabled due to driver problems under Win95. OpenGL is now available for Win98 but not Win95.
  • The Intel i740 is now more reliable under Direct 3D.
The patch is automatically downloaded when you connect to an Internet game. If you can't wait you can get it immediately from the Adrenaline Vault.
