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.

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 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!

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 :-)

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.

Status: offline 		@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.

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).

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


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.

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
