Homeworld: Cataclysm Onslaught v4.1 Mod

Onslaught is an unofficial modification for the game Homeworld:Cataclysm. It is a tribute to the Homeworld series using almost all of the "un-flown" ships in Homeworld and Homeworld:Cataclysm. These include the Kadesh (inc MS), the HW Ghostship, the JunkYardDawg, most of the HW Derelicts, the Nomad Moon and more besides. Onslaught unites these ships and creates an entirely new game. The "Beast" in HWC provides an excellent excuse for this bizarre mix of ship types!

2. Double click the "onslaught4_1.exe" file and extract to the destination of your choice.
3. In your existing Cataclysm folder you will find a file of called "update.big" (It’s about 300Kb). Rename this file to "oldupdate.big".
4. Inside the Onslaught folder you will find another file called "update.big" (It’s about 19.3Mb). Copy this file into your Cataclysm folder.

HOW DO YOU REMOVE IT?
Assuming you’ve followed the installation instructions:

1. In your Cataclysm folder delete or rename the Onslaught "update.big" file.
2. In your Cataclysm folder rename the original file from "oldupdate.big" to "update.big".

HOW DO YOU PLAY IT?
In order to play the MOD you'll need to know the gameplay of the original game, most of which is applicable to Onslaught. Read the original manual, and use the "TUTORIAL" button on the main game menu with Onslaught installed. The Onslaught MOD makes a lot of changes to the game, but most of these will be obvious with a little bit of play. However, there are some things that you may not notice. Be sure to click the "HINTS" button on the main game menu to find out more.
