Windows

Step 1: Download the extra (URL PENDING) .dll files and place them in your main UQM directory.


Step 2: Download the (URL PENDING) effects .zip archive 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


Step 3: Download the (URL PENDING) Windows .exe file and place it in your main UQM directory.


Step 4: The .exe file needs to be opened with a shortcut. The shortcut's path that I use is this: "C:\Games\The Ur-Quan Masters\uqm-balance.exe" --addon balance

"Ho ho! I was able to run the .exe without a shortcut!"
Your game is missing the effects package which is critical for the mod to run correctly. Expect to run into a lot of sync errors during net play. The game will crash whenever Thraddash or Chenjesu use their primary weapons, even offline.


Mac

Step 1: Download the (URL PENDING) App and place it within your main UQM directory.


Step 2: Send a "thank you" letter to Nic. E-mail is good for this. Snail mail is even better.


Everything Else

Here is the (URL PENDING) source code. Good luck!
