Hello! I’m trying to adapt this beautiful mod to play MP with my buddy, if I was to succeed, could I post it on Workshop crediting you and linking your original mod? Thanks in Advance mate!

Colonol Dekker AKA the voice of Orestes Tactical AKA the GD Moderator at hard-light.net approves this mod.

Sorry, there hasn't been any new development since 2010. The mod is available here as-is in its unfinished state, just as it says in the description. If anyone wants to develop custom missions or do skimirsh battles using the Nexus Skirmisher tool, then that's certainly possible. But there are no plans to resume development right now.

So is this mod ever going to get finished, or is it basically done at this point? I know Nexus will probably never see another update.

@Nimiria Nova:
The mod was never finished, but contains enough stuff to have fun for a short while, I think.

Fighters, bombers, cruisers and corvettes are all "finished" and functional in-game. The big destroyers (e.g. Orion, Hecate, Lucifer) are missing / not functional.

There is no campaign and only a few demo missions available. Nexus Skirmisher can be used to create some skirmish battles with the available units. Or if you're into mission scripting yourself, there's nothing holding you back from creating your own.

The download isn't huge. If you like Nexus and FreeSpace, it's worth a look, I think. But I'm biased, of course ^^

How finished is this mod? I would love to play full scale battles or campaigns :)

Thanks for getting back to me! I was eventually able to get a copy of Lightwave 11 and that does seem to do the trick :) I haven't had as much time to work on this recently but hoping I can finish the project at some point!

@ShotBot:
Sorry for answering so late. Haven't used Ligthwave in a long time, so I have no experience with issues with the newer versions. Lightwave 11 worked fine back then - if you can get access to a copy somehow.

I see they changed the file format for Lightwave 2018, went from LWO2 to LWO3. I don't know if it's still possible to export the files in the older LWO2 format - those should still work with Nexus. Lightwave 2015 seems to be the last version that used LWO2.

Other model formats are not supported by Nexus' converter. You might be able to use something like Blender and export to LWO2, but that probably won't support all the required features you need to set up a complex model. E.g. the hardpoints for weapons, engines, etc. I haven't tried it, though.

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. 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?

There is FreeSpace 2 you can play Rubinelle

This is so damn beautiful! As a big fan of Freespace I'm always hoping that every space battle game I come across will be like this and here it is. An amazing mod that is so freaking faithful I can't believe it. I can't even imagine the work it took to recreate the weapons which are all different from the ones found in Nexus. The warp in effects are amazing too. Damn fine job, damn fine.

Thank you Arparso, much love for freespace and its awesome fans.

I'm glad to see the idea of Free Space continue to evolve. Thanks, it was and still is my favorite Space Syms of all-times!

Is there ever gonna be more to this?

Thanks, glad to hear that :)

Ok Thanks, I thought I was missing something. BTW very nice mod I do enjoy playing the missions that are there. =p

@RavensDaemon: Sadly, there is no storyline campaign. The mod is pretty old now and was never quite finished - it only includes a few simple missions. You could use the (inofficial) Nexus Skirmisher tool to create more skirmish battles using the mod's ships and fighters, but that's it.

For the Skirmisher to work, you might have to copy the mod from Steam's workshop folder to the game's own mods folder, though.

.... I start the story, then battle one ship and some fighters, win battle. States Mission Complete and then goes back to the choose Story, Battle, Dual screen. I thought this was a storyline mod?

@Nidinhime: You mean the mod tools included with the game? Yeah, there are modding manuals included within the game. Look in the mod_tools/docs folder of your Nexus installation. There's also an old modding wiki with a few tutorials and references at http://nexusthegame.net/w/

This looks really cool! Are there any tutorials for using the modding tool?

thank you! :D :D

@wellsml2: You subscribe to it here and wait for Steam to finish the download. Then you start Nexus and select the mod you want to launch.

how do i get this mod?

Seems like it would be a fun mod, but I'm stuck on the first mission because when my reinforcement ship shows up the enemy just runs away and I can't catch up.

Hi very nice Mod but it would be great if in Duel battle you could pick more ships to have a fleet duel battle.

Tried everything i can find to fix it but everytime the enermy turn up in the first mission it crash's the game.

Hey Aparso, nice to find you there, could you add your wonderfull skirmisher mod here (i joust post a thread on the main forum before to find your mod here)

why is it not possible that Steam does this by themselves. There are enough people, who don't understand much how to do or find it. I think they must send a link to uninstall and install new version. so you don't have to do it by your self.

I swear to this day the visuals of this game have really done well standing up for themselves

nice

great

Thanks for the hint, Orez! Didn't think of that.

For those who can't find this in the Modifications tab when you start Nexus. Make sure you have the ver 1.03. of the game. It is 1.03 that has access to steam workshop. I had ver 1.01 at first as my steam for some reason didn't auto update it. A quick uninstall and reinstall gave me ver 1.03 with the mod (after redownloading it). Hope this helps. :D
