What is NSU

Nightstalker’s Universe Mod has been in the works for 7 years, the mod itself has gone though many incarnations including being rewritten several times. The concept of NSU is to give SciFi junkies what they are looking for. There are several sections of the mod dedicated to different SciFi Shows such as, BSG, Star Trek, Babylon 5, Firefly, and Star Wars. There are several sections of the mod that come from different ideas I have come up with and each system is uniquely different with custom suns, starspheres, and a few planets. The Mod has a lot to offer for a wide range of players. At the start you are given 5 choices though the use of one way jump holes (one in ST, SW, B5, Nightstalker Space, Terran Alliance Space). There are also 4 unique Factions in the mod, including Rogue Asteroids, Comets, Derelicts (Moving wrecks), and monsters (They hurt too).

How and Where

How do you get a hold of the mod??
Go to Nightstalker’s Universe 1.66 section on the Olympus Forums (http://galacticgate.com) and you’ll find the link for the mod under the thread NSU Download 1-66 Final. It is also available here as well.

http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/freelancer/mod/40437.html

You could also make the props a separate model and add them in as an object (solararch.ini) with a spin setting in the system ini. I do this with bases in my mod so I know that works.

This is from the Tekagis Treasure forums

To the Tekagis Treasure Community
To the Admins and Helper’s
To the Family’s
To the Friends

and to YOU the players.

The Tekagis server will be closing as of this message being posted, the forum will remain open for the time being so people can still get in contact with each other and Teamspeak will still run as well.

Myself, Cursor and the rest of the fantastic team that kept it going for so long after our dear friend passed, Uni, we have come to a point in our lives where ‘Real Life’ has taken a front seat and everything else has become secondary. We have always said in the admin room, RL comes first.

I would like to thank three very important people:

Ringy, mate you were like a whirlwind when in game and a force to be reckoned with in Admin chat and on the forum’s, and for that I am very great full.

Jaco, thank you for all your help with giving me information from before I started on TT, your input from the beginning has made a difference. Also for being there in RL, for me and for others.

Madcat, Cat you are one crazy SOB, most people at your young age Cough, should be in the garden in summer and tucked up in front of the TV on a cold evening…… NO, not Cat, day in, day out, nearly 365 days a year he has been in game and on the forum, giving help, tormenting the players and admins and his famous “BAN!! Goodbye”, has put joy in our hearts, Madcat THANKYOU!

There are others like McKooter and Qjake, again with out their help and input, things would have been different.

To everybody, do keep in touch, either forums, TS or Skype.

Fair well fellow Freelancers

Rags

I noticed you want it to be free to buy, In FL you need to have a price of at least 1

1. If you are using DDS textures they must be square (64x64, 128x128, 256x256, 512x512, etc)

2. if you are using tga textures, they must be flipped (In photoshop and similar programs it is flip vertical)

3. If you specify a specific FL ship (shiparch) make sure your Hardpoints on the model match them (If not, remove them from both the goods.ini and shiparch.ini).

BTW, I’m not trying I did, this version will not run without the server version. I have been working on this mod for 7 years (That began after I was banned from WTS with my Blood-Legion Brothers) and it has always been on two servers (USA-1 has gone through 3 owners and EU-1 about the same). Our community has been around through thick and thin through the different versions. The community members and clans have donated ships (Some with strict provisions) and other content for the mod, for our community. Tell me something, if you painted a work of art would you want someone to copy it and hang it on their wall without your permission?? The mod was created for the Olympus Community and there it will stay. And if the servers ever close down the mod goes with it.

That is because you are using the client version to try to run a server which a majority of the files required to run a server are in the server version only. Sorry, but the server version is restricted to both our USA-1 server and EU-1 server.

Try this one

Yup, that was it. Is there a way around that?? Is anyone else running enb and have intro videos?? I don’t mind having to lose the intro but it would be nice to have.

One of the players made some intro videos for my mod (yes they are in wmv), when FL starts all you hear is the sound. So to troubleshoot it I reinitialized the original FL videos, sound only there too. I am using Windows 7 x64. I am thinking it is a codex or something similar.

Any thoughts on why I can collide with waypoints and jump holes?? I see phantom_physics = true on the jump hole. As for the waypoint, it is nav_buoy.3db correct?? Or is that a effect. Maybe phantom_physics is failing, I don’t know

I am using Numeric

The first one has baffled me, when you look away from an NPC the health and shield bar goes down to zero (Dead NPC) but when you target them they reappear (The shield and health bar that is). So if the NPC is not in your direct line of sight they appear this way. Example:

The second one is when you get to a waypoint, players are actually colliding with it. for some reason the waypoint is solid.

The problem with the Darkstar One Zeboa, is that it has all the parts (I never played the game + I don’t know what it is supposed to look like) plus it is a high poly model (60k+) so HardCMP is not going to work on it. I’ll have to look for it since I did not add it to my mod (Probably sitting on my PC somewhere).

Fantastic, thanks for the help

Here it goes.

I reused ST03 and so when you fly in the system (Even though the system is set to visit = 0) it says No Nav Map Available. What I need is that to go away. (I don’t know what happened but I made a similar post on Friday and it was gone when I got back Sunday, so here it is again).

I know it is hardcoded. I am using ST03 as a normal system but the navmap does not show up (It is not on visit = 128 )

I found another way, just have to test it further

1. Create the sur using the SUR Creator

2. Import the sur into MS

3. Import the model on top of that with the hardpoints (Delete the unnecessary one’s like HpPilot, HpCocpit, and Lights).

4. Delete the model leaving the sur and the hardpoints (If you have a multipart you need to find the part name for each part of the sur xxxxxx_lod1) and export it using shield bubble + disable mesh directx reduction

This has work well so far on smaller models (No console errors with both single part and multipart surs). I’ve also used this on my bigger ships with full success too (Full success meaning that it didn’t crash on takeoff and took damage without any shots going through the hull). Now it is time for stress testing and see if anything comes up in the GetCollisions and GetRoot. I’m writing from work so I hope I remembered everything.

Wait, isn’t there missions where you take down freighters and a escort?? I’m at work, so I cannot look that up right now. If there is, it would be easier to change those formations.
