INTRODUCTION
HW2 Manager is a front-end program for Homeworld 2. It allows
you to setup and configure Homeworld 2's command-line options
before running the game. You can save your configurations to
disk, and even save shortcuts to the Desktop.
INSTALLATION
Extract the contents of this archive into a folder on your
harddrive. To run HW2 Manager, open the file named
"HW2_Manager.hta". This program requires that Windows Scripting
Host v5.6 be installed.
INSTRUCTIONS
• To create a new config file, click the "New" button and enter
a name for your new config file when asked to.
• To load a saved config file, select the file you want to load
in the "Config Files" field. Then, click the "Load" button.
• Click the "Test" button to test the validity of your
settings.
• Click the "Create Shortcut" button to create a shortcut on
your Desktop with your new settings.
• Click the "Run Homeworld 2" button to run HW2 with the
current settings.
If you have set up the %HW2_ROOT% environmental variable as
instructed by the RDN docs, you can use it within the "HW2
Directory" dialogue.

RELEASE NOTES
CHANGES IN 1.21
• Now fully compatible with the Windows XP theme.
CHANGES IN 1.20
• Too many changes to list. Almost completely redone.
• Have attempted a workaround so that it will work in Windows
98 again, but I no longer have a computer with this operating
system to test it on. Need feedback.
CHANGES IN 1.12
• Probably some changes I can't remember.
• The contents of the application window now grow and shrink
along with the window as it changes size.
• Fixed a problem causing the "Run Homeworld 2" button not to
work in Windows XP. As a result, the button may no longer
work in Windows 98. Sorry!
CHANGES IN 1.11
• Fixed the capitalization of some flags for case-sensitive
systems.
CHANGES IN 1.10
• Changed the sizes and positions of some of the panes.
CHANGES IN 1.09
• Variable keynames have been shortened to two characters plus
a number. This means that config files made using older
versions of the program are no longer compatible.
• A slight speed optimization when retrieving data from
ConfigTable.
• Switches are now printed to the screen dynamically, instead
of being stored in the file (decreases filesize).
CHANGES IN 1.08
• The program now works properly if it is not installed on the
same drive as Homeworld 2.
CHANGES IN 1.07
• Updated the program to include SnakeChiken's newly-found
command-line switches.
• Fixed a bug.
CHANGES IN 1.06
• Fixed the bug where the program would crash if the last-
loaded Config File no longer existed.
• Fixed the bug where the program didn't check/save the proper
extension for Config Files.
• Removed the "" option from the Config File list.
• Added the "New" button to the main window.
CHANGES IN 1.05
• Fixed the bug where Config Files with spaces in their
filenames would cause errors.
CHANGES IN 1.04
• The name of the Config File being overwritten is now
displayed in the confirmation message.
CHANGES IN 1.03
• The most recently used Config File is now automatically
loaded when the application starts.
CHANGES IN 1.02
• Settings are no longer cleared when saving new config files.
• The correct file extension is automatically added to new
config files if it is not already present.
• The %HW2_ROOT% environmental variable is now properly taken
into account before displaying the Game-Type and Mod .big
file directories.
Note, that you will not be able to create shortcuts if you
are using the %HW2_ROOT% environmental variable.
• Instances of the batch file used to run HW2 now close
automatically.
• Now asks for confirmation when saving over old Config Files.
CHANGES IN 1.01
• Minor fixes.
CHANGES IN 1.0
• Initial release.
