To install a mod, use [Slipstream Mod Manager](http://www.subsetgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=17102).
Version 1.9.1 is mandatory to install mods on FTL 1.6.1+.
## 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](http://www.subsetgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3363) by liakad (then improved successively by [alextfish](http://www.subsetgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3363&start=20#p21807) and [Istarune](http://www.subsetgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3363&start=30#p23888)), this new mod version updates all outdated, missing, or modified weapons stats/values to vanilla state, and removes non-vanilla weapons code existing in v0.3.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.
Credits
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+.

## Shiny Combat UI 2.0
Based on Russian Rockman's [Shiny! UI Overhaul and Graphics Mod v1.0](http://www.subsetgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25839), this mod redesigns the combat box (bigger viewport) and adds some transparency to it: the background image is now visible, for a nice visual effect.
Fully compatible with FTL 1.6.1+ to support any language.
