Mod Question

[Ostwindflak]

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is or was at least talk of someone doing a DU mod centered around the Mass Effect universe? I looked around on the Mod section of the forums and did not see anything. Just thought it would be a cool idea.

As a disclaimer I am not a modder and have never modded anything in my life for those that might say "well you can do the mod". [;)]

Haven't heard anything on the subject. Sorry....GP

There's this:

tm.asp?m=3144439&mpage=1&key=

Idk if the download works anymore. I do know it's dead so it might not work anyways.

Also, I've had much better success finding what I want through google instead of the internal search function.

Thanks for finding that. I didn't think to do a search using a search engine. Thought I could just find it on here if there was one. I will download it tonight and check it out.

Np. It looks like it's still the initial release and that was posted in 2012. It may not work with universe or the latest patch. The good news is you could use what's there and keep modding it. I don't think Kalthaniell would mind.

I downloaded a DW:U compatible version. Another person who was interested in the mod converted all the necessary .txt files and other things so it could be used with Universe. It isn't bad, clearly never got finished though.

On another note I also downloaded and tried your mod last night too Retreat. I am using the second iteration of it: Unleashed Extended II + AI Research orders. So far I like it a lot. I already see many differences from the vanilla game that are quite pleasing.

Had a bit of a problem early on in the game I started with moving Caslon around my starting system, but I sorted it out once I realized it was happening. Never had that problem in vanilla before. I like the new challenges. Good job.

If you're playing RetreatUE, read the AAR by Twigster.

tm.asp?m=4125285

Be warned, at higher difficulties it is very hard. I still laugh when one of Twigsters colonies got invaded by the Naxx. 58492k worth of troops. Think about that number for a second. If you don't believe it, it's on page 10 of the AAR.

If you have the time, modding isn't that difficult. I'm sure a lot of us would like to see a Mass Effect mod.

Funny you mention that AAR. I read it all the way through which is what inspired me to download the mod. It was an entertaining AAR and yes that massive horde that got dropped onto his invasion force was ridiculous.
