Mods Marked


Vranx UI is not available as a compilation download. If you want a UI like mine I recommend using Neav UI as a starting point, then you can add desired/needed mods from there.

Fonts

I replaced all of the in game fonts using the method described on the font page. Im using the Expressway Free font which is available for free here.

Sounds

I replace a few sound files because there are some things that annoy the crap out of me. The dragon at the login screen, engineer choppers and Little XT. You can find sound replacements on the Sound page.

Custom Graphics

I use my own customized graphics for my status bars and borders.I also use AI Art which changes many default graphics in the game.
