Step 8
Converting into Cataclysm. The procedure is almost identical but this is a small brief of how to get your Homeworld model into Cataclysm.
Ok still working with the Steamrunner that we recently converted into the Ion cannon frigate slot.
First get Delphys Peo/MEX Cataclysm converter.
Load it up and you will get this,
Simply load up your ioncannonfrigate.peo and click convert. You will now get a new file called ioncannonfrigate.hwc.peo. Like before you must rename it to the slot like r1... ioncannonfrigate ... rl0 etc, but for Cataclysm you use different names (main ones shown below)

I’ve decided it will take the Hive frigate slot on the Somtaww fleet. From above we see that Somtaww = race_sect and Hive frigate = sHivefrigate. So in Cataclysm we need to add this folder with the following structure,
Now place your ioncannonfrigate.hwc.peo (renamed to shivefrigate.peo in this case) and its lifs into each LOD folder. The lifs made in the Homeworld liflist can be used.
Now all being well you should now see your ship in Cataclysm. This should work without any in-game texture corruptions but if you add many new ships you will need a textures.ll file (out of my league).
