Nov 15, 2012 Full Version 0 commentsThis addon replaces the original DW weapons, shields and planets graphics to better suit the ME universe. Unpack into main DW folder and let it override...
Current mod version: 1.00
Features:
-Twelve playable ME races added to the DW ones.
Alliance, Turians, Asari, Salarians, Quarians, Geth, Batarians, Volus, Vorcha, Elcor, Hanar and Krogan.
-Reapers, (replacing Shakturi)

-Over 120 customized characters (generic characters form ME games will be included in future releases)

-Sound effects and music matching ME setting and epic atmosphere.
More will be added as the mod develops.
HOW TO INSTALL THE MOD:
-Unpack the 'ME mod 1.00' file into your Customization folder in your DW directory.
-The correct path should be: Distant Worlds\Customization\MassEffect mod 1.00
-Start the game and enable the mod in 'custom theme' section.
-Start a new game and kick some Reaper ass.
(make sure to enable the RoTs and DW:L events and storyline each time you start a new game to enable Reapers invasion)

Unpack and install. Detailed instructions are in the readme file. Enjoy!
Hey, this sadly is far more instable than regular DW:Legends or when playing with Human Revolution, I get game-breaking errors almost every 10 minutes, from innocent things such as looking at the tech screen, click-selecting a gas giant or looking over the galaxy in the editor.
You're the first person with such difficulties. Try updating to the latest version of DW:Legends.
Any plans for Cerberus?
Cerberus, at least design-wise, pretty much is just a color-changed Systems Alliance, they use the same designs as the standard humans do in the Mass Effect universe.
In a future release probably. Right now we are waiting for the next Distant Worlds expansion (Shadows) and start update the mod after it is released.
Cool, good luck!

"problem": the graphics addon link on gamefront seems to be down
Graphics addon uploaded to moddb :) have fun ^^
I think, in this case, we should remove gamefront's download link from the description, to prevent confusion =)
