-Resources Cheat 

To give yourself a huge amount of RU's just do the following: 



1. Go to the directory where Homeworld2 is installed. 

Open the directory Homeworld\Bin\Profiles\\Campaign\ASCENSION 



2. Open the file persistXX.lua, where XX stands for your mission 

number. Scroll down to bottom and find the line "RUs = ". 



3 Change the number in ther "RUs = " line to something like 

"RUs = 2000000". Don't use a very big number otherwise it will 

return a negative RU number in the game. The number above will 

give you a huge ammount of RU's that are enough to finish all! 

the missions....save the file, start the game, load the campaign 

and have fun. 



-Modify Ships

Locate the file "persist*.lua" where the * is the mission number. 

The file is in the 

"Homeworld2\Bin\Profiles\Profile\Campaign\ASCENSION" folder.

 

Open the "persist*.lua" file with a text editor such as Notepad. 

Locate any string containing the string for your ships 

(Example: Hwr_Bomber). Edit this one with ex. Hwr_AssulteCorvette, 

and your former bomber is now a GunShip. You can do this with all 

your ships, the only thing you have to find out is what the 

different ships are named. 



-How to unlock all the missions 

Go into the Profile folider in the homeworld directory mine is for 

example ex. C:\Games\Homeworld2\Bin\Profiles\Profile1 

In this folder there is a file called "playercfg" it should be 

a lua file. Open it up with notepad, and scroll down just a bit 

till you see "maxmission = x" obviously x will be differnet for 

everyone but if you want to be able to play all the levels the 

just type 15 here. This will open all the missions, just to let 

you know though it bases your starting fleet off your last 

completed mission, so if you try this in the very beginning you 

get jack crap to start off with (use next code to fix this 

though). This is good however for skipping a difficult 

mission...like 4... 





-Command Line Codes

To work these codes, right-click on your Homeworld2 shortcut.
