So the Star Wars Warlords mod was released on Moddb with a GoG version, but there are no instructions. The zip contains one file, a .big file. I tried putting this .big file in the homeworldworkshop folder and each and every data folder, but the "mods" button never shows up on the launcher and I have no idea what path to use to make a desktop launcher.

Does anyone have any idea how to install this mod or what to do with the .big file? I asked on the Moddb page under the file download, but I don't want to make a big deal about it because that is the main reason these mod authors aren't releasing outside of the steam workshop. Basically there are nowhere near as many people interested with the GoG release only, and it's too much of a headache to have a release outside the workshop since it automatically downloads and installs for you. At least that was the reason given by the authors of the Stargate, Star Trek, and BSG mods for Homeworld.

Anyway, just looking for some community support since I'm not familiar with this file format and see it seems to be unique to Homeworld. Any help is greatly appreciated!

edit - Ok, so the big file goes in the homeworld remastered data folder. Then open the shortcut and in the target box, put -mod SWWarlords.big at the end. I got it to load into Warlords, but I got an access error when I tried to start the game. It may just be something with my game, so at least that should get you all started.
