Well no one else is around to even update the old graphics mods, so you're our only hope Krdax.  ;)  Seriously, just renaming your old Diplomacy particles to work with Rebellion would be fairly popular.

Well, there is a Rebellion version of bailknight's mod.

The OP was asking about other graphical mods besides Bailknight's Graphical Mod.

There is Solarflair, but that's really old and it would have to be tweaked to work with Rebellion. It's so old that Zorodius designed it to replace in-game files instead of being placed inside the mod folder.

I do like his explosions though... WAY better than bailknight's...

Ah yes, I did see that. However, the big problem with that version is that is not compatible with most other mods (if they change any ship entities at all). What he should have done is renamed the particle effects, not change the ship entities to reference the old particle effect names.

At least it does work with E4X.

All I noticed was the new explosions when I tried to use it with E4X.

Bailknights Mod has different colored explosions for each race including purple for Vasari, and green for Advent. Another reason for the entity files is that the rate of fire was also changed on most weapons.

Yeah, I understand he might have done that for cosmetic reasons, but even back in Diplomacy I just deleted Bailknights GameInfo folder and hardly noticed any difference. Sadly that does not work for Rebellion.

Bailknight's mod for trinity didn't reference much, explosiondef.entity was important, but that was probably it. He did some beam resizings mostly, if I remember correctly...
