NOTE: I am NOT responsible for any damage this causes to your game! (shouldn´t really, but I just wanted to let you know.) This is for the German version of the game but should work for any other version too! If you only like some parts of this mod (HUD maybe) and dislike others (textures maybe) then you can just extract the data2.fbz with WinZip/WinRAR, delete the files you do not want in and zip the archive again - note that the archive must be called data2.fbz to work with the game!
You can choose between two versions (each a separate download!): "Standard" and "Special Edition". The "Special Edition" contains completely new "Alien" style textures for the last two levels of Shadowgrounds. The Amiga levels were clearly influenced by "Alien" while retaining their very own style for Aliens/monsters etc.
You can also choose between several different GUI color addons. The colors orange, green or yellow/orange can now be downloaded as separate addons. Simply extract the chosen addon into your Shadowgrounds folder. All gfx of terminals as well as textures of screens etc. will be changed to fit in color. THIS WILL ONLY LOOK NICE WITH THE STANDARD OR SPECIAL EDITION MOD INSTALLED!
Here is the full feature-list:
Alien Breed III Shadowgrounds (Standard)
#######################-
(A mod by Dex for Frozenbyte's Shadowgrounds)
- NOTE: the "Special Edition" also contains Alien/Alien Breed style textures for alien environments
- fixed Mousecursor (removed slight visible black line glitch near arrow)
- changed the eye-textures for every character to give them a more realistic look
- added a new titlescreen and logo to look like a fake Alien Breed III
- added a complete new ingame-GUI for ammo, health, weapon-icons and all other indicators to look more like a fake Alien Breed III
- changed all ingame terminal-graphics as well as upgradescreen, logscreen and mapscreen etc. to look more like a fake Alien Breed III
- recolored some of the cursors
- recolored the blue fonts to white
- changed the bloodcolor of aliens to an acid like tone - human blood and blood on walls etc. will stay red
- added a new title music (Alien Breed Amiga remix by "DeAdLy cOoKiE")
- added new music for the music hall in New Atlantis ("AmigaKrieger3000" by me)
- changed the rain effect script to use a new "lines2.tga", rain is now more realistic
- reworked 90% of all textures the game uses (this includes the textures that can be found in the "Models" folder, all skins, weapon textures and so on)
to make the game art look more used and dark and to add a fake bumpmapping effect (they may appear to be less sharp in some occassions which is actually not the case)

#####################
If you have another mod installed that goes by the name "data2.fbz", simply rename the file "data2.fbz" of my Alien Breed III mod to "data3.fbz" or the next higher number depending on the last mod/patch you installed (so if it´s "data7.fbz" rename the modfile to "data8.fbz")
As I am writing this there are NO other mods, so this might not interest you at all right now
