The most recent build is v1.21, which based on UQM 0.6.2's code.
Windows
Step 1: Download the required .dll files and place them in your main UQM directory.
- The DLLs never change between updates. Skip this step if your computer has a previous iteration of the mod installed.
Step 2: Download the effects package and place it into an addon folder. Do not extract the contents of this .zip file, just leave it as it is. The addon path that I use is this: C:\Games\The Ur-Quan Masters\content\packages\addons\balance
- The effects package often changes between updates.
Step 3: Download the Windows .exe file and place it in your main UQM directory.
- The Windows .exe file changes every update.
Step 4: The .exe file needs to be opened with a shortcut. The shortcut path that I use is this: "C:\Games\The Ur-Quan Masters\uqm-balance.exe" --addon balance
- This shortcut puts the effects package into the game. The .exe file can function without the effects package, but not correctly.
Mac
Nic has compiled builds of this mod in the past but is no longer interested in doing so. You will have to compile your own build if you want to play. If anyone does compile a Mac build of the mod, please contact me (Shiver) and send me the app.
Everything Else
Here is the source code and the effects package. Good luck!
