NEXUS Skirmisher rewrite
Arparso:
1 - I'd love too, but I just don't have the time. The old Skirmisher still works (well, mostly) and a new version wouldn't really improve the functionality all that much, but still require a shitload of work to get developed. That's a lot to pay for a rather small payoff (considering the small Nexus community) and I simply can't afford it right now.
Of course, with the possibility of Nexus 2 on the horizon, there's also the problem of developing tools, that'll become obsolete next year (or whenever the game comes out, IF it gets released).
2 - The model is included with the game, but I don't think it ever gets used anywhere. When you extract nexus_00.dat, you can find it in meshes\aliens\feher_hajok\feher_destroyer.msh
The_Small_Time_Modder:
1- well, you do make quite an arguement there... maybe a few years down the road perhaps?
2- Really? huh, guess theres more unfinished stuff in the game than i thought, does that ship have a name?
3- also, is this nexus_00.dat file located somewhere else? my copy has seemingly misplaced the _00.dat and _.01 dat files if that is not the case...
4- can you simply extract them in it's current state and get the files?
Mularac:
you can't have misplaced those files, the quite literally have everything the game need to run!
They're located in the main nexus directory
Arparso:
Yeah, nexus_00.dat should be in the base folder of your Nexus installation, right beside nexus.exe and "Nexus Skirmisher.exe", if you have installed the Skirmisher.
You can extract it using elFarto's datool (command-line utility) or by using my own DatXtract tool, which has a simple GUI to make life easier.
I'd suggest not to extract it into the Nexus base folder, but rather a separate directory... unless you want to mess with Nexus' campaign or anything. ;)
The_Small_Time_Modder:
hah, thanks for the tip man!
you two truly are the jacks of your trade, you know about this game inside and out like if it was your own house. ;D
i tried downloading elFarto's datool, which fouled up, ill probably use your DatXtract tool. If you're Skirmisher is so reliable DESPITE all those bugs you were talking about im sure your DatXtract tool will come in quite handy.
Btw, just out of curiosity, is your avatar from 3:10 to yuma? ;)
EDIT: Ok, i downloaded the sucker successfully, now what?
