Just a Hint: Dont't forget the teamcolor in your models colors.(alphachannel)

-
No it is not - Release date 12.05.2008.

Great site. I look forward to seeing future development.
Try to be innovative with the Clest engine, it will make the game more attractive ;)
-
Love the Website! You made it?
-
No it is not - Release date 12.05.2008.
aww you're making me wait? thats a downer.
-
Love the Website! You made it?
Thank you :)
-
No it is not - Release date 12.05.2008.
aww you're making me wait? thats a downer.
The aim is that it is supposed to be a quality mod, set the bar higher in mod dev and respect to the developers of the Glest engine
p.s. and it will be postponed until the balance is ok.

Hello again everyone,
More updates are up on the website.
- Several screenshots ( http://nihilirian.com/screenshots.html (http://nihilirian.com/screenshots.html) )
- Arcturus & Sirius buildings screenshots
( http://nihilirian.com/arcturus.html (http://nihilirian.com/arcturus.html) & http://nihilirian.com/sirius.html (http://nihilirian.com/sirius.html) )
Enjoy :)
-
:o
This mod seems to be very good! Your models really look different but good!
But as I said before, don't forget the teamcolor(alphachannel) in the textures of all units, including buildings.
I always had problems to integrate them later.
I really look forward to the release date.
If you have any problems, or need help ask here! ( If you are running out of neighbours when recording voices for the units for example ;) )
-
Thanks :) The textures are not that complicated and team colors will be applied not that hard.
More updates soon :P

Nihilirian Rebirth:
Nihilism - similar to everything is destroyed - as in the story when the super weapons /the monsters/ destroyed the world..and then they died
Rebirth - is reborn - the rebirth of the population - somewhat different this time :P
-
omg, this looks so nice i have to test it!
-
The game will be up later today :)

It doesn't run in linux!
Linux is case sensitive! I wonder if it runs on an apple!?
ok here is the fix script:
http://www.titusgames.de/fixnihilirian.sh (http://www.titusgames.de/fixnihilirian.sh)
- Unpack nihirlian as described to the techs folder.
- Copy fixnihilirian.sh to techs/nihilirian.
- make fixnihilirian.sh executable ( on console: chmod a+x fixnihilirian.sh)
- execute fixnihilirian.sh
- play
OK and now I try it :D
-
Now I played it ( the Arcturus faction ) and its fantastic!
And its really fun to play!
Lot's of units, interisting ideas and really nice colors.
Great job!
And now I play again ...
-
Hello, thanks for the great feedback.
I did almost everything on a mac. And especially game testing on Leopard. I didn't know that linux is case sensitive. I will remember that.
I really also enjoy it. I prefer Sirius though... On mac book I get this error I described in Bug reports forum. I guess it is Open GL stuff.
I have played it on multilayer on several machines - always WinXP-WinXP and WinVista-WinXP. It really is amazing! I always kick ass :)
I shall start doing upgrades to the website, also manual and strategies, and I will see if there is a high interest I may start a more larger project with a lot more units, vehicles and flying units, upgrades etc. called Nihilirian The Return - if you red the story, there is still these real human species that left the world many years ago. They are the returning ones...
I hope this turns out great.
-
Hello everyone,
What do you think about the game? :)
-
Ok, review away:
I played both factions the other day. I liked the special effects (guns, magic blasts, etc) and liked how one needed to build a city of the soul-producing structures (the normal game usually makes it look kind of sparse).
The things that bothered me were minor. I thought a lot of the units looked very similiar and some looked a little undetailed (is that a word?).
Overall through, I liked it and want to try putting it into my "normal" Glest mod as playable factions. However, when I tried it it started yelling things about how it couldn't do it because it couldn't find the faction or something.
-
hai SciFi Junkie and 10x for he review :) ) I had to compensate due to time limitations I had. The whole thing including everything, had to be done in less than 2 months. Sleepless months :)
I hope the game gathers more interest so I can start on with the bigger project I have in mind which will expand both races to an unimaginable stages and add a new race also.
It would have been easier if it was a mod on a famous movie or something but it is hard for a game with a new freaky unknown concept...
I hope more ppl turn up with reviews...
-
Very nice work, man :)
-
10x tucho,
Titi warned me twice about the team colors :P
-
this is the best mod I've found so far!
one thing though, i think you should turn up the attack of the spiritea for Arcturus because I've found that atomicas are much more worth the cost.
-
also ich kann nur deutsch schreiben aber papa(titi) sagt das du Deutsch bist
Nihilirian ich finde die sirius gruppe zu schwach oder die andere zu stark
aber ansonsten find ich diese gruppen echt cool :shock:

Hi Osiris,
Well, you might have a point there. I might just lower the Atomica's helth and regen speed but here are some points why I would pick Spiritea:
1)
Spiritea has 950 health and regenerates 5, and armor 3
Atomica has 850 health and regenerates 2, armor 2
2)
Spiritea relatively not that more expensive.
3)
Spiritea takes 140-200 hit points with range 13.
Atomica takes 75-95 hit points with range 12 - true true has a splash damage.
4)
And once you make Experimental Evolution upgade you add - 100 HP, 50 Mana, 2 sight + 1 range, 10 hit points, 3 armor - where Bionic Implants give to Atomica only Sight and Range.
Great comment btw!

Hello PT,
German:
Vielen dank für dein Kommentar. Ich bin kein Deutscher und mein Deutsch ist schlecht, aber ich studiere in Deutschland . Du hast gut gemerkt, dass Sirius schwächer als Arkturus sind, aber Sirius sind auch billiger und werden schneller produziert. Arkturus auf der anderen Seite sind teurer und stärker als Sirius. Glaub mir, ich finde, dass Sirius eigentlich die stärkere Gruppe ist.
Engrish:
Thanks for your comment:) I am not German and my German is not that good, but I am studying in Germany. You are right that Sirius are relatively weaker from Arcturus, but Sirius are cheaper, faster produced. Arcturus are more expensive but powerfull, all their buildings and units regenerate... But trust me, I find Sirius the stronger race.
:)
Thanks again!
-
Ok dann mach ich es nicht so schwierig.
Ich finde das der sirius lerod gut gebaut ist, aber sollen die die Gebäude kaputt machen?
Trotzdem ist es eine gute Idee mal etwas anderes zu machen. Aber ich weiß nicht ob ich das gut oder schlecht finden soll.
Aber bei den Gebäuden ist mir was aufgefallen:
1. das die Flüssigkeit (die aus manchen Gebäuden kommt) plötzlich zu Ende ist und genau so plötzlich wieder anfängt.
2. bei der sirius Gruppe hat Gebäude Sborr einen zu kleinen Kreis
3. bei Gebäude Cheycalbie läuft die Flüssigkeit nicht sondern es sieht so aus als ob es auf der Flüssigkeit stehen würde
Das sind die Sachen die mir aufgefallen sind
Aber ansonsten: voll gut :shock: :wink: perfekt
Ich spiele es auch sehr gerne! Seit 3 Tagen spiele ich jeden Tag dein Spiel mit meinem Bruder zusammen. Weil mein Bruder aber immer nur Lits bauen will haben wir auch einmal gegen den Computer verloren.
-
I like it... If only there was a way for you to break it down into smaller download sections...
-
Hi Omega,
I can break it, I didn't thought that 90mb will be a problem nowadays :)
I will soon make site and game updates and will find another host and store it as well in parts.
Thanks for the tip

you have a good point....ill try that.
Great comment btw!
thanks! :D

The cpu players are not very good in nihirlian. Probabaly you can improve this a bit. A big problem for the cpu are ressources based on buildings ( like "housing" in my indian mod ). I had to increase the numer of housing points in the tents to get a good cpu behaviour. ( but then I had less tents in the game :( )
-
Well, truly the AI is lacking and they are not very well prepared for a rush. But once some time pases they get pretty strong.
I noticed though that Sirius develops very quickly and can produce all units and does nice attacks, but on the other hand Arcturus builds mostly basic tree attack units. I haven't seen them making many or any Spiriteas.
Anyway it is very competitive in multi player (human vs human) :)

Increasing housing screwed up the AI more than before.
If anyone has the time to write a few sentences how the AI works may be everyone will be grateful and follow some guidelines so the games are playable not only MP but single player too.

BTW Nihilirian, I need it broken down into ~20MB parts because I have dial-up and 90MB is a little (actually a lot) too much. Also, can it just be the tech tree? No extras or anything, just the tech tree with all the tech tree components? Thanks.
I should mention that its a good idea to download 7z (its a compressor) and compress the file into an excutable auto-extracter (choose 7z format and choose SFX archive) It is among the best file compression programs and the exe auto-extracter makes extracting easy! Thanks!
-
Or you could get ALZip (a free, yet powerful compression utility for Windows, and maybe Linux ) and use it to compress it. It can compress to, and extract from practically all of the compressed formats in existence (that I know of. ).

haha cheers!

Join the club titi, (but you do realize thats not a good example for your son, do you) Although at the least, can you tell me if ONLY the necessary files are in your mods (you both have mods) and if you can break them donw (still gotta find an ENGLISH download manager Titi, the one you recomended is german (or at least a german webpage)
-
The Total Commander can break it to smaller parts.
-
hmm looks like a remake of glest hahaha...
-
I'm using free download manager, and it works great. On heavy mode, I'm boosting my speed. Although it took me 6 years to load this webpage... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :O
-
Titi, the one you recomended is german (or at least a german webpage)
keep in mind his name is titus tshnarke (sp?)
keep up the good work nihilirian.
btw i like how it is harder to kill units than in normal glest. its a different challenge.
-
Thanks, I've also put a lot of time in the balance.
:)
-

I thought 7zip (and p7zip in linux) was open source . I tryed ALZip and I saw that it works only on windows (or in linux with wine).
i downloaded this: http://www.moddb.com/games/nihilirian-r ... an-rebirth (http://www.moddb.com/games/nihilirian-rebirth/downloads/nihilirian-rebirth) and i compressed it with p7zip. I have a 57 MB compressed file : http://www.mediafire.com/?dq9zvtw4dgb (http://www.mediafire.com/?dq9zvtw4dgb) (but mediafire is slow, so get it only if you have a bad connection).
-
Who needs it broken down into 20mb increments cause i'll be willing to do it, just let me know if you still need it and great work btw on this i'm also doing a solo mod so props =)
-
Don't worry, I downloaded it using the Free Download Manager (that's its name) It works great and really boosted my download speed on dial-up (normally average 4kb/sec {REALLY slow} and with FDM, I got 6kb/sec-- Man do I hate dial-up)
Good mod Nihilirian.
At one point though, The foe stopped attacking, and it seemed as though only one type of foe was capible of attacking me. The others would only attack me if that one unit attacked me first. It was a one time thing, but it was kinda weird. I got tons of points since I had lots of kills and little deaths. Even when I attacked them, the foe just kept walking! :lol: :oops: )
[Omega, you don't need to spam either. I'm not blind, and the edit button is available for users too. - @kukac@]
-
One of the factions is really out of balence with the other. It's the one with HP regen. It's too powerful, or the other faction is too weak. Consider balencing them out.
-
After applying the fix posted by titi, there are still files with wrong case (uppercase letters) in the data directory. You can fix them by running the following bash command in the data directory:
find -name "*[A-Z]*" -print0 | xargs -0 -L 1 bash -c 'mv "$0" "$(echo $0 | tr [:upper:] [:lower:])"'
This replaces all upper-case characters in filenames with lower-case. You can also use this in the techs dir.
Please use all-lowercase filenames next time (or at least provide the fix(es) with the download).
And now I will take a look at the mod :)
-
I don't want to sound jealous or anything, but why is this topic stickied yet all the other developing factions are not. I would recommend either stickying all other faction topics or unstickying this one...
-
It's not developing, it is already a released faction. By the time it was released, it was one of the best factions (if not the best), that's why it deserved a sticky. It is a bit old, so I will remove the sticky from it for now. If anyone has a problem, PM me :O
-
It should be added to the mods list in the overview.
-
Hey, I know this thread is 3 months old, but:
This mod is grossly unbalanced. The moment Actarus researches Artificial Shields, which gives Automatons +10 armor, they're EXTREMELY hard to kill. Sirius would not stand a chance if the enemy has even a mediocre army of Automatons.
-
One of the factions is really out of balence with the other. It's the one with HP regen. It's too powerful, or the other faction is too weak. Consider balencing them out.
I aggree.

Heh that's what I said.
The Automacer has 2 armor, but can be upgraded to 2+10 armor. Which makes it the best ranged unit in the game. Get enough, and the enemy's powerful melee unit (the one that takes 3 souls, the 8 souls one just sucks) won't even be able to reach you.
-
That's how I win every time... ;D
:) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :'(
Hey, the smilies work!
-
I already asked nihilirian if it is ok to include his mod in the next megapack to keep this mod alive and he said it's OK.
Is anyone currently working on a more balanced/polished version of nihirlian? ( or he is willing to do that ?)
-
Nihilirian? He's been gone quite a while. Split right after releasing the mod.
LIST OF POTENTIAL CHANGES:
~Increase souls made from the building (names are impossible to remember)
~Decrease souls needed for other units
~Allow souls to be produced from the same building (invisible unit with 0 size)
~Fix artificial shields
~Increase defense of melee units, they die before even getting one attack
~Other bugs?
~Possible (but goes against the feel of the game): Change the names to something people can remember! ???
-
I think that the names correlate to names in the actual game ($$$).
-
I reached him on his moddb.com site and now we have personal messages in the forum to ;-)
-
Why is it called Nihilirian? Nihil is Latin for nothing (I know since I take a Latin class), and thus Nihilirian, I'm assuming this is based off of Nihilarian, means pertaining to Nihilism, which is the belief of nothing or the disbelieving morality.
-
Hello everyone,
I am sorry I disappeared so suddenly. I have a start up company and it is really hard and kept me busy for a long time and still is :)
I agree with the mistake with the Automacer. You can just lower it in the megapack. I think the rest is ok.
I appreciate everyone's support and I am happy that everyone liked it so much.
Also, apologies for the website being down, it should be ok now. There is an upgrade of it, collecting dust somewhere here... can't find time to finish it dough.
I usually prefer not to upgrade bits by bits, but to "drop a bomb" with something real nice. So be prepared for Nihilirain 2 + real humans returning..if anyone red the story you will know what I ment.
p.s. don't wait for this to come up any time soon :)
All best
Hristo

p.p.s. Nihilirain - yes, it is like nihilism - it is not believing in anything.
-
Welcome (back) Nihilirian.
Nihilirian 2? Sounds great!
-
Sorry to revive this old thread, but I just want to say that the domain expired for www.nihilirian.com... :/
At least it's files and some information is on ModDB..
I found this out when I began to try to update the mod list on the wiki...
-
Someone upload and then a mod can edit the first page?
-
Sorry for the bump, but I'm planning to to create a wiki page for this. Also I found out there was a backup of the site, so no worries... :O
http://home.arcor.de/nihilirian/
If you don't like an ad banner...: http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20090414165725/http://nihilirian.com/
I'm also planning to re-upload this...because as a zip file it's 30 more MB...
-
I'm glad this hasn't disappeared. It's a good mod, aside from the balance.
-
maybe we should improve it? you know, bring it up to today's standards.....
-
This is available in the MegaGlest MOD download center now.
