Nexus - The Jupiter Incident > General Discussion

State of things

Yea, I don't really understand why NBC did that.  Seems like a foolish idea for them business wise.  And it just sucks in general.  I did manage to find a download of 4.1 beta, it took forever.  I'd be happy to post the links if anyone wants it.  I hope the guys doing the nexus project are still moving forward with the development.  The mod was awesome so far.

Does anyone still arrange games of nexus?  Id love to play online sometime.

Also, I'm having a difficult time understanding and actually using the absolute movement feature (where you hold shift).  I really want to move my ships manually around the battlefield.  But whenever I try to do this they end up going somewhere else.  The manuals explanation of how to use this function is severely lacking and I cant find any help online.  Any tips?  thanks.

Better not post any public links to the BSG mod as I don't need to get mail from NBC myself. And yeah, I don't understand their move either. I know they have their BSG online game, but the Nexus mod is hardly a competitor to that... they're in totally different genres, after all.

Not sure, if someone is still arranging games. There used to be some Hamachi or Tunngle networks around, but I'm not sure, if there's anyone still active. I've seen a Steam group with a recent announcement for online matches, though - maybe there you'll find some other players interested in multiplayer:

About the movement thing: you just hold down shift and then move the marker where you want your ship(s) to go. To make the marker move forward/backward you also hold down the left mouse key and move the mouse up/down. If the marker is at the same "depth" as some other object in the scene (e.g. another ship or an asteroid), this object's marker will start to blink. This is handy for situations where you want your ships to move to some other object or just to better judge the distance you ship will go.

It's a pretty unconventional system, but you'll get the hang of it. ;)

Hi Thornard,

In brief, Nordic have now bought the game and released a patch to get the game up to date and running on modern windows. You can get the details here...

They haven't updated the game itself as such, but there are some of us reworking the models and textures in our spare time.

Sargoth:
Bots, bots everywhere ;)

GeoModder:
And Makemake seems to have a moon. Time for an update...
