Babylon 5: Conflicts of Loyalty - v0.5 released!

Well, it's now officially out! Without further introduction, the download link:
[url=http://b5col.firstones.com/files/b5col_release_0.5.rar][size=3][b]b5col_release_0.5.rar[/b][/size][/url] (103Mb RAR archive), hosted by Firstones.com
IMPORTANT: This will most probably be brought up quite fast so I'll answer the question before you get the opportunity to ask it. [b]REGARDING SKIRMISHER[/b]: Since the Nexus Skirmisher recognizes mods by the main.ini file, it recognized B5:CoL as a multiplayer mod only. This means that by default it shows only the multiplayer settings. [b]This can be bypassed by editing the main.ini[/b], all you need to do is to comment out the lines
[code]"gss_mpjoin" mpclient
"gss_mpserver" mpserver[/code]
After this the skirmisher allows you to create single player missions. Problem solved. If you want to play multiplayer, however, you'll have to uncomment the lines again.
And here comes the readme:

2. Introduction
==========================
B5: Conflicts of Loyalty MOD is an intermediate release of the planned Total Conversion for Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. Since working on the campaign is proving to be a slow bit of work we finally decided to release a MOD version of the TC to release the work we have done to the public. The TC will have much more, we originally planned to extend the ships to all known races and to have a full campaign with voice acting. Unfortunately this will take time so we offer you what we've come up with so far. This piece of work is a result of months and months of work and things have progressed whenever we've been able to put ourselves to work. We're doing this stuff on our free time, nobody's paying us and we don't always feel like doing it so although the release isn't a big one, alot of work has been put into it.
3. What's in it?
==========================
The mod features several models and ships to be used in user-made missions:
- EA Hyperion
- EA Omega
- EA Nova
- EA Thunderbolt
- EA Transport
- EA Olympus
- EA Starfury
- EA Ring Base
- EA Cotton Tender
- EA Defense Platform
- EA Crew Shuttle
- EA Atmospheric Shuttle
- Raider Deltawing
- Raider Frigate
- Raider Battlewagon
- Narn G'Quan
- Narn Frazi
- Degati (a non-canon race) Destroyer
- Degati Cruiser
Plus a bunch of other meshes such as cargo boxes, jumpgate, a cargo handling platform and weapon models.
Four new NPC faces have been included as well.
Two B5 battle themes by Cristopher Franke are also included.
Additionally a single player demo mission is included as well as two multiplayer maps that have been made with Nexus Skirmisher (by Arparso) and mission examples showing the usage of jump points and jumpgates.
4. Multiplayer
==========================
A few things to say about multiplayer... no ships have a value in multiplayer, therefore point limits are pretty much useless. The same applies to devices. We could have started fiddling with them but we just wanted to push this release out. Also, I'm not exactly sure how MP likes it when a ship jumps out using a jump point or a gate. Try it. Or don't try it. It may eat your dog or perhaps even taunt you. I really don't know. Other than that, things should work fine. Make sure the others that join your game have the same version of the mod.
NOTE: Also make sure you have the small MP patch installed (check the Nexus news page for a link), it changes the master server IP to the correct one. If you don't have it installed you won't be able to find any MP games.
5. Disclaimer
==========================
This mod is freeware and may be copied and distributed freely as long as there is no commercial profit made.
Use at your own risk. I will not be responsible for any damage or problems this mod may cause to your software or hardware. However, I believe it is extremely unlikely that the mod kills your dog, pillages your house and declares victory over WW3. Nor do I believe that it'll cause any problems.

Comments
wohoo!!!
Just finished the demo mission and now starting to play with the skirmischer.
great job!
Nexus Egine + B5, a dream came true.
thx for the efforts :)
soo, im off, need to teach those pesky rebels a lesson.
Also I hope you dont mind but i added the download to my server for people to download (FileDomain)
Here is the link to the site:
[url]http://www.stargame.co.uk/download/?dlid=9[/url]
Give me an email if you need anything: [email]jonathon@stargame.co.uk[/email] :D I would love to help out.. :)
Thanks again for this mod :D 10/10 ;)
Thank you for hosting the release, I appreciate it. And we do need help... we need an able modeler/texturer who can handle LightWave. Nobody is working on new ships at the moment and that's what we need for any future releases. If we get the modeling going we could release a couple more "addon" releases to give people more ships to play with while waiting for the campaign release. So if you know somebody... don't be a stranger :)
Not trying to advertise my forums or anything but if you post for a request i know there is a few 3d designers around that prob will help and i know one is a big b5 fan plus uses lightwave as there main 3d software.
Forums: [url]http://www.stargame.co.uk/forums/index.php[/url]
Also will you be getting a domain name soon + hosting?
Love the work again guys :D
[B]Cool :)

Let's see if I can draw some attention... :)
Actually we already have a domain ([url]www.b5-conflicts.com[/url]) but since Firstones.com hosts us, we have a simple redirect page set to that domain. I've also added the mod into moddb.com and thanks to that the mod download should have been mirrored to FileFront (USA) and Planet Mirror (AUS).
I just wanted to know as i have a small hosting biz, and currently its the same old stuff happening on there so i dont mind hosting peoples website for free if its for a good course. As it does not cost me anything more to host your site i dont mind.
Check it out: [url]http://www.relichost.net/[/url]
Also i will add more space for you :) something like 500MB hosting space & 5GB traffic.
If your interested i can set it up for you any time :)
If your wondering why i am doing this is because i like to see people get bigger in there projects :D also any other websites anyone has here i will host for free if its a project for something :D
[B]OK cool :)

Ok, good to know :)
It has come to my attention that another team has picked up the project with a new name, with the goal of extending or perhaps completing this project that was unfortunately abandoned years ago. You can see it in MOD DB: [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/babylon-5-conflicts-of-loyalty-2[/url]
Just to let you know, I'm standing 100% behind these guys and will provide them any dev material that's still left on my hard drive (amazingly I still seem to have a lot, I'm such a collector...) to be put into good use. I hope they can do a better job than we did and cross the finish line properly ;)
Also, this is my first time logging in to these forums in two years... with my current life I had almost forgot that these forums still exist :rolleyes:
