diversityMod 0.5

Graphical mod replacing redundant weapon icons and projectiles by new ones, which makes easier the visual differentiation between weapons and their respective damage powers in game.

Based on FTL diversity Mod 0.3 by liakad (then improved successively by alextfish and Istarune), this new mod version updates all outdated, missing, or modified weapons stats/values to vanilla state, and removes non-vanilla weapons code existing in v0.3.

The mod is now fully compatible with AE and is graphical only (it does NOT change any game values). Not compatible with any other weapon-mod. Fully compatible with FTL 1.6.1+ to support any language. Not compatible anymore with FTL 1.5.x.

Thanks to:

• liakad who created the original content of diversityMod.
• alextfish and Istarune who created an almost clean version (graphical mod only)
• herbert who listed partially the remaining errors and vanilla values still modified by the previous mod version.

HighRes Backgrounds & Planets V2.0

This graphical mod replaces the planets and backgrounds with higher quality versions, trying to stay as close as possible to the original subjects. It also adds a couple of new visuals and modify some others (mix between Splette's High-res Backround Graphics 1.0 and Sanmonku's Better Planets and Backgrounds Mod). Fully compatible with FTL 1.6.1+.
