An Idea? Thread - The Nexii

Well, I have been playing around with the modding tools; strafing Forums, and reading manuals. And WAN'T to make a Storyline full mission set. But not with the "Gorg, Vardrag, Raptor, ships / races = Human" I'm leaning towards a new race in a new timeframe where the Angelwing is no match for the larger class vessels im planning to implement. Perhaps something super destructive (alike the Mechanoids) "Harder hitting, Faster moving" But not with the JUNKY cubic and paradime ship model. Perhaps larger ships with more catchy and deadly setups. Yeah, you get my drift lol.

Some ppl have been saying way to many different "options" on how to build ships (programs to use etc). And well im a noob at this, im no pro. But, so far its been a hobby of mine just to flip through and gather nifty info. So this is sorta what im looking for:

1. I need a comprehensive list of everything you as a modder uses or would use to accomplish making something like what I hope to get about to do. (tools, programs etc)
2. Also looking for the "edge" in this game. kinda like the last mission of the Nexus game where its near impossible to do but yet doesn't turn out being absolutely annoying.
3. As for a persons imagination, I have a huge one. And hope to also implement this.

*This is totally on the drawing board, and any help would be greatful*

Hi there Stingaraz,

It's good to see Nexus getting some new blood

All you really need to write a Nexus mod (aside from a copy of the game, naturally) is a text editor (I use notepad), plenty of imagination, patience and time.

I'd recommend downloading as many of the existing Nexus mods as you can for use as reference material... as well as 'unpacking' the game with DaTool. (I'll also see about adding it to our downloads section too).

As for making your own ships...Well, any 3D program will do initially, but you will need to run them through Lightwave at some point in order to add the required hardpoints and parameters which Nexus will need to recognise your new designs.
