so how do you make this work in this day and age? I remember loving this way way back but now whatever I try I always get dx9 input error :-(

thank you for this mod!

nvm i worked it out in the engine file, thanks!!!!

ty ty this is amazing, next question and sorry to bother you but do you know how to disable the engine animation? its weird to have the massive yellow line behind the ship as it moves

Yeah, that is not that hard, as long as you want to do simple model swap that is. Might be a little buggy for various reasons but should not crash the game... possibly.

First of all, back up game files or be ready to delete manually entire game folder (in case something goes wrong). Quickest way would be to take \Stargate Mod War Begins\textures folder and copy it into main game folder "Nexus The Jupiter Incident" and do not make it replace any files. Then go to \Stargate Mod War Begins\meshes\Wraith\ and copy hive.msh to \Nexus The Jupiter Incident\meshes\earth\main\. Next, rename hive.msh to keyship.msh and let it replace original keyship.msh.

AngelWing should look like Wraith Hive now.

Is there anyway to replace the angelwing model with the hive model for the campaign? that would be super sick

i remember playing this game back in 2012 during Beta - brings back fun memories - glad to be able to revisit this again!

Hey @Dreamor, it worked, thanks for the guide :)

Will give it another try. Will keep you posted if this is not successful.

Oh, I see... go to \Steam\steamapps\common\Nexus The Jupiter Incident\mods\Stargate Mod War Begins\NEXUS Skirmisher\_templates\ a copy .mach_ files into \Steam\steamapps\common\Nexus The Jupiter Incident\mods\NEXUS Skirmisher\_templates\ and restart Nexus Skirmisher (if it was running).

You should be able to chose mission type after that.

Hey @dreamor

So I have downloaded the skirmisher. No issues.

Unfortunately I am unsure how to get the shield to engage straight away.

I am unsure by the guide you provided

"The use of skirmisher: You use it as before, but you have to select the "WarBeginsSkirmisher" Mission Type in the upper right corner of the program for your shields to work properly" could you provide a screenshot guide by any chance?

You can download skirmisher from this URL: http://www.arparso.de/nexus/downloads.html There is also an installation guide. If you have any problems just let me know here and I will try to help with any problems

Yo what.. Update? Yahoo

October 2024 Update is out! Made some changes here and there, fixed some things, updated some visuals over the years (read update description for more info). Does this mean that this mod is alive again? Well, sort of. More like a perpetual zombie state actually, a little fun project full of nostalgia made in spare time.

Let me know, if you encounter any bugs or problems! I will try to sort them out.

Have a lovely day!

we are around! we all still love it, dont ask and hf! xDDD. Also u still can get the start trek enhanced batte...MOD on moddb.com or sth

Adding to this, you also need to copy the entire stargate mod folder into the skirmisher's own mod folder, or it won't get detected.

Hey for those not finding the files for Skirmisher, when you're in /steamapps you have to go to /workshop instead of common, you'll have to dig through folders with numbers but it the files from this mod should be in one of them.

Hi there, amazing mod! Not sure if you are still around or active but I wanted to know if you could help with a modding / modeling question (similar to Era's below). I've been working on modding some ships and I've noticed that the current version of Lightwave is not fully compatible with Nexus TJI. It seems the newer .LWO file format does not play nice with this old game for things like engine nodes and UV textures.

I was able to locate a trial version of Lightwave 9.6 but being restricted to 400 points is a bummer. Do you know of a better way that works today?

Капец, я только купил игру, а уже наткнулся на мод по зв

Thank you for your reply.

Can i ask you what software and plugins you used to model a ship and define the position of weapons?
I have a project to modify the vessels and armaments of the solo campaign but since 1 year the project is stopped because I cannot define the location of the armament on the model of the ships.

I am working on small update right now. Mainly fixes for smaller things and workaround for shield penetration bug with weapons that should not penetrate ship shields. No ETA at the moment.

Is an update planned?

If anyone has same issue as stugerb and jamie_walls, and cants find/dont have a folder for the mod, steam puts it in a different place. Foe me it was: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\6420\1287553011"

Hmm, interesting. There should definitely be some folder with the mod. Maybe steam created different name for it? Anyway, search for your local "\Steam\steamapps\common\Nexus The Jupiter Incident\mods\" folder and there you should find mod that has modinfo.xml with name of the mod inside then you can follow instructions from the description. Hope this helps.

Have the same problem as jamie_walls

I dont have the Stargate Mod War Begins folder but i am able to get on the mod so how would i use the skirmisher?

Man Dreamzor, can't believe you are still working on this. Over 10 Years of Development, and it really shows.

Looks really good, finally checking out the old 2004 Nexus Game again nice job very much appreciated

Sweet Niblets! It is great to see older modes uploaded in here.

jesus this is incredible

awesome how do you make it so you can use the weapons in single player campaign?

Yeah.. if this works I will get into it.. Love the Stargate stories. Thanks for taking the time to make it. People like you keep things moving forward.. Very appreciated!

I just reinstalled it and checked this. I feel like playing it again

Nice. glad people make mods for this game. Just started playing it again.
