"In my opinion, no soundtrack captures the profundity of space as the Homeworld soundtracks did." AltusDusk

The Homeworld Soundtrack, composed by Paul Ruskay, was released with Homeworld's Game Of The Year Edition in the year 2000. It was the only soundtrack to be released on a separate CD in the Homeworld series of games. In 1999, the game's soundtrack had been awarded the title of that year's Best Soundtrack by PCGamer and Eurogamer. Homeworld Soundtrack Homeworld Cataclysm Soundtrack Homeworld 2 Soundtrack

The download set are ogg replacements, no other files needed. 
Can be used alone or on top of most mods. For any version of SoaSE.

For the MP3s

I am trying to keep this compatible for stacking, but mods can add tracks to the GameInfo\SoundMusic.sounddata which will error when they are accessed. 

I will do some testing 1st to see if modding the SoundMusic.sounddata causes multi-player conflicts. If it strictly single player, you can save your choice of songs to the mod or a new mod stack-on and modify the SoundMusic.sounddata to access the new track.

For using with your favorite mod, I recommend creating a stack on mod tha goes on top of other mods. Create a folder in the mod dir called HW-Music or something like that. Inside that create 2 folders, GameInfo and Sound. Copy the SoundMusic.sounddata from the mods GameInfo folder to the HW-Music GameInfo folder. Right click, "Save-as" the tracks above to the HW-Music Sound folder. Edit the SoundMusic.sounddata like above to link your new songs.

You dont need to link them all. Whatever songs you did not edit and are not in the HW-Music\Sound folder, they will then be looked for in the mod below, then the games install sound folder.

Info pending...

Just starting with base mod changes. Trying to get as many files for use in all versions first using the symlinks. 
Merged the string files, and musicdata.sounddata and will work on GSD next. The assets from later versions will not be included with older versions but this will make multiple mods a lot easier to maintain.

Complete Guide to Symbolic Links (symlinks)

I just tested this and it works great for XP and up. XP is a little different procedure.
I moved the Homeworld Soundtrack to "F:\Homeworld\Homeworld Soundtrack" and the 1 folder is now a mod for all versions.

To share separate files, the central shared folder must be on the came drive as the mods folders.

mklink /J "C:\Users\myfist0\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.34\Homeworld Soundtrack" "F:\Homeworld\Homeworld Soundtrack"

mklink /J "C:\Users\myfist0\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.053\Homeworld Soundtrack" "F:\Homeworld\Homeworld Soundtrack"

mklink /J "C:\Users\myfist0\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.193\Homeworld Soundtrack" "F:\Homeworld\Homeworld Soundtrack"

Win 7 Rebellion
mklink /J "C:\Users\myfist0\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.1\Homeworld Soundtrack" "F:\Homeworld\Homeworld Soundtrack"

You can also do single file links with the H/ switch, just dont link a symbolic file inside a symbolic directory.

So for the Homeworld mod, I am going to create a Homeworld folder for all versions and create symbolic links to the Mesh, Movies, Font and Textures directories too start, all linked to a shared Dropbox Folder which will update with every change.

mklink /J "C:\Users\myfist0\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.34\Homeworld - Vengeance\Font" "F:\Homeworld\Dropbox\Homeworld - Vengeance\Font"

The reb meshes are different so I need a link for Trinity meshes and Rebellion meshes

mklink /J "C:\Users\myfist0\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.34\Homeworld - Vengeance\Mesh" "F:\Homeworld\Dropbox\Homeworld - Vengeance\Meshes Trinity"

mklink /J "C:\Users\myfist0\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.1\Homeworld - Vengeance\Mesh" "F:\Homeworld\Dropbox\Homeworld - Vengeance\Meshes Rebellion"

yup, still working on the models. I am desperately trying to get the gun turrets to rotate and track targets.

Keep and eye on the  models post. Once there is a pile in there I will release something, until then, feel free to grab the models or the soundtrack for your own mod.

already grabbed the music and set it up as its own mod. good times!

TobiWahn from  B5 mod, manage to make rotating parts via particle effect, and so far it's only way in sins to make rotating parts.

There's no way to make a particle effect that 'obscures' the stationary turret but looks like a turret that is facing the target? Might that work?
