dostillevi -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (5/29/2013 6:20:32 PM)

Hahah I see your post! I was just in the process of adding your mods to the list I have too. Someone requested a list over in the general forums and I figured why not?



TanC -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (5/29/2013 7:17:35 PM)

Nice, let's get an updated Mod list. Hopefully this one is better curated than the last one. [;)]



rjord -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (5/29/2013 8:16:26 PM)

Star Wars - Alderaan

can be added to the list of upcoming mods and is working and currently being developed in Shadows. With a little luck it will be available soon.

Star Wars - Alderaan : set two years prior to the Battle of Yavin

Antiscamp -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (5/29/2013 8:46:48 PM)

Human Revolution has been made compatible with Shadows.



TanC -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (5/30/2013 12:41:21 PM)

Oh, do remember to keep the latest copy of all the mods from the authors' post as backup just to make sure the mods are preserved for the future just in case the authors do not return to update the mods/posts.



dostillevi -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (5/31/2013 6:32:20 AM)

I'll try. Its not a high priority at the moment since Shadows is so new, but maybe it'd be possible to find a hosting service that will be around a while, like a dropbox or something.



Sirian -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (5/31/2013 7:18:57 AM)

Here we go. I installed and tried Shadows yesterday and can confirm that:

Fully Compatible
Sirian's Resource Mod is fully compatible with Shadows

Compatible, but missing Shadow specific stuff
Sirian's EVE Component Mod is compatible with Shadows, but there are a few icons missing at the moment. I have started creating those icons but am not fully satisfied with the result.

Sirian's Character Icon Mod is compatible with Shadows but there is one icon missing, the ship captain icon. It will be added as soon as possible.

Sirian's Ship Mod is apparently cmpatible with Shadows but I admit I haven't checked all the ships. There are 4 additional ship families in Shadows, these will still show their original graphics.

Incompatible
Sirian's Troop Icon Mod is not compatible with Shadows and should not be used. It won't ruin anything as it is added to the Customization folder, but the results will not be very pretty.


---------------

I also use Martian's GEM mod and can confirm that

- the icons are working, but there are some new icons
- the planets (plus cloud overlays) are working
- the planet scenic images are working
- the ruins are working
- the race icons are working

There is an issue with the planet shadow image, you will have to backup and use the D:\Matrix Games\Distant Worlds\images\environment\overlays\shadow\shading.png file from shadows. There is an explanation in Martian's GEM thread I think.



dostillevi -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (5/31/2013 7:25:17 AM)

Sounds good. I believe your ship mod should be fully compatible! I yanked some of the infected ships from Space Pirates and Zombies, maybe those could fill in the missing holes? I haven't had time to process them into shipsets yet though. Also got screen grabs of most of the ships in Nexus: The Jupiter Project which should amount to at least 3 shipsets, if the quality ends up being good enough (not sure yet).



Mansen -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (6/2/2013 10:12:35 PM)

You can move Distant Worlds Xpanded up to the released mods section. [8D]

AstroCat -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (6/3/2013 12:09:20 AM)

Hey, which GEM icons are missing? Maybe we can make some replacements.



dostillevi -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (6/3/2013 3:22:55 AM)

@AstroCat Try asking around in that thread, I haven't used GEMS with Shadows yet myself.

@Mansen Gladly! That was very fast from announcement to release, and really nice work on it too! I doubt you'll find much in the way of artwork for the troops for these races, so stealing bits and pieces from the existing troop icons is probably the way to go. I'll dig into your files and see how things are balanced as soon as I have a chance (later this week?). I wish pirate ships didn't count against the shipset limit.. I wonder if there's a way to trick the game into thinking there are only 50 folders when there are in fact more.. hmm.. will have to think more on this!



Tyrador -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mods (6/3/2013 9:45:04 AM)

Upcoming Shadows compatible mod: Prothean Cycle Mod http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3152095



Osito -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mod List (6/3/2013 1:27:40 PM)

My real star names mod is compatible with Shadows. You may not want to post it, given the similarity with Tampa_Gamer's mod, but mine steers clear of fictional names, sticking purely to real star names including all the "Delta Obscuritus" type names which Tampa sensibly avoided. I also took no prisoners with the North American tongue :-)

Great thread!

The Star Trek - Picard Era mod is in production. How long it will take, I can't really say yet.

necaradan666 -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mod List (6/3/2013 3:08:41 PM)

Upcoming mods? Why not wait til they are done and released. I've seen so many threads like this with prospective authors that never ever get around to releasing their mod.
Regardless of whether you've already got a portfolio of mods to show you'll actually get it done why clog up a thread like this with mods that don't exist yet... it's far from conductive to providing accurate information.



Azuran -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mod List (6/3/2013 7:55:36 PM)

Sirian's Component Mod works in Shadows.

dostillevi -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mod List (6/3/2013 10:59:31 PM)

@Osito I will certainly include your mod. I'm trying to make a comprehensive list, similar to what you would find over at the X3 modding forums if you happen to play that game, and there's no reason to exclude a mod simply because another is similar. When I have a number of mods listed here I'll split them into categories, but for now there are few enough that I don't feel this is necessary.

@necaradan666 We have a very small modding community here and I would like to, for now anyway, include any upcoming mods that authors would like to promote. Obviously there should be some substance here to support the imminent release of the mod, but since we are so small and there are so few mods I think highlighting them here may keep promising mods from sliding off the front page into oblivion. I am only mentioning upcoming mods whose authors have posted in this thread, so I wouldn't worry about things getting too crowded.



necaradan666 -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mod List (6/5/2013 1:50:51 AM)

Yeah you're right, I guess it is a pretty small community here.



Sirian -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mod List (6/5/2013 7:46:34 AM)

Just wanted to add, Sirian's Character Icon Mod got its 2 missing character icons added and is now fully Shadows compatible.

Regards, Sirian



Buio -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mod List (6/6/2013 8:34:12 PM)

Ardilus Combat Audio Pack works fine with Shadows.
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3241748

But Shadows has four new sounds that it doesn't update as far as I know. The two tractor beam sounds and the two graviton beam sounds.

The pack is a different take on combat sounds. You might like it, or prefer default. Recommend using Darkspire's updated version with adjusted volume levels (it's a post further below in the topic).



Azuran -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mod List (6/13/2013 7:43:20 AM)

I hope with Shadows their might be a community mod.



dostillevi -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mod List (6/13/2013 8:53:46 AM)

I'm not exactly sure what you refer to as a community mod?



Darkspire -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mod List (6/13/2013 9:31:40 AM)

From my understanding, one that is created by the community, everyone involved provides resources, generally there is list that is made, a master plan as it were, a list of folks in the theme group, creators and testers, all the things needed for the theme. Folks then state which part they are going to complete, for example, ships, races, troops for graphics, then the text files, biases, races, policy, design templates, systems, designs etc. With the amount of work that has been put in around here on non theme parts for DW, like planets, UI etc it could also encompass a secondary overwrite mod. Last decent one I saw was back with NWN and that was moons ago, there a great idea but do take a fair bit of organizing, easy access to the files currently being worked on so that testers can take the current revision and give feedback, an FTP dump from someone in the group with password access to avoid any 'problems', best done with a small group of dedicated individuals, no more than 6-8 and a small group of like minded testers who can give good feedback on any problems. An overall individual forum thread to give direction and feedback for the theme which should only be used for the theme creators and testers and a secondary one for overall updates, questions, ideas etc from the community. Folks are always ready to say, 'I will do that' but it is following up the words, hence the dedicated individuals. You would also have to take into account that folks have real life priorities and things can be a little slow, but if done right they tend to be the showcase theme / mod for the game, like Haree78's Extended theme is at present.

I had forgotten all about that one, there are a few other threads kicking about with edited sounds from me, I might make a post and stick them all in one place.

Tampa_Gamer -> RE: Shadows Compatible Mod List (6/13/2013 12:34:52 PM)

Just a quick update, my two other mods for Legends listed below are both compatible with Shadows but I am currently working on updates for both of them to incorporate some new functionality found in Shadows and waiting for the Shadows modding guide to complete them. In the meantime, here are the links:


Sound Effects Mod v1.00 Shadows compatible - replaces 40 default sound effects

Character Image Resource Pack (Human) v1.00 Shadows compatible - a resource pack of 70 historical/current human character images and statistics to combine into your own custom mod
