Battlestar Galactica Mod gone

I was informed that it would go at that time. Though I thought it would be announced more broadly. Anyway, not sure if Venom is still around here (he sort of left the Freelancer scene altogether), but I could try and contact him if he could upload the server files somewhere. I doubt same would be possible with Aigle about the BSG Exodus mod (which by its contents is superior when it comes to system layout, sound balance and meshes), but since he left, too, I suppose there might be a chance.

Actually, BSG Exodus was released and had a server back then even more popular than Dawn of War by Venom. Many Exodus players came back to Dawn of War (later Edge of Apocalypse) just because Exodus went down. Crossroads was cancelled because NBC/Universal started banning BSG mods altogether (read full article here; and that despite Bigpoint’s game contains ripped-down models from authors of one of the major BSG mods) and they had a slow progress anyway. Not to mention that their ambitions of inputting tan.j’s models were remarkably high and took more time and effort than the team had motivation to spend.
Venom said, that the strike by NBC was one of his reasons to leave Freelancer as well. He also said that there were fewer and fewer players to work for and named some rather personal reasons. He expressed a generally weak motivation for further action around the game. What Aigle is up to now I am not sure. I assume, too, that those mostly would be real life matters such as education.
Diaspora for Freespace 2 is currently the closest active BSG game you’d find and it just released a little while back. Anyway, I’ve contacted both Venom and Aigle so we’ll see what we can get ;). Both have accounts here so they could (however unlikely) respond before responding to my respective messages.

if you have the last mod on your HD thats all you need,
the rest was done with hook, its all avalible on my forge site

i take a look from time to time here also on chris board

You are perhaps missing the right server.dll (unless the latest mod version provides one?). Since Acid and Venom are on this thread I guess you’re gonna resolve that.

Anyway, Aigle responded very enthusiastically and is willing to discuss release conditions of a server and client complete package of BSG Exodus, too. If anyone has requests regarding certain details of that as well, I’d gladly represent interests of any community member beside my own; thus feel free to make me know

you might want to inform yourself on hex editing and then have a look at the limit breaking list on our wiki.

In fact, he is tweaking Exodus currently a little and went as far even, as to leave the project to me (including distribution and development rights under discussed conditions) for I am the last he ever worked with who might potentially have time for modding and is still in contact with him. Since it is still in progress, there may be changes but it looks quite like this is what’s going on in the coming months. Thus, yes, there will most likely be a package released at least. I don’t know if I will be setting up a server but I might keep modding and improving it a little here and there with time passing. Feel free to PM me some requests or suggestions

hey is this a private lan gaming or can anybody join in on it? i live in a block house that spends alot of time gaming together, any chance we could join you? we’d be willing to be cylons some of the time. we do have a spare server, if you are interested.

As said, you can setup an Edge of Apocalypse server yourself. BSG Exodus will be released for public use with or without an official central server and will or will not be further developed after the release. Either have patience or try the Edge of Apocalypse mod… Or both.

Any news on a release for lan or open sp? I’ve been looking for months for even a mod w/ a viper available in sp, not even just a full bsg mod.

I found Galactica 2.0, Edge of Apocalypse, Dawn of War, and one or two others. I could not find a download link for any of them that were actually functional. It looks like anything that actually may be out there is mp only anyway.

I did find Edge of Apocalypse, but I don’t know anything about fl hook or anything like that. If any of you could guide me in any way I would be eternally thankful! That or if anyone has any of the BSG mods server files.

Thanks for you responses.
