[MODS] Hidden Clusters and DSO Mini Update

[Zach Fett]

In case anyone isn't aware, there are two mods for DarkStar One that are tucked away on the internet. One because it's on a German forum, and the other because the original forum it was hosted on has been wiped.

I've taken the time to upload both to ModDB and Nexus so that they'll hopefully never be lost to time and more people will be aware of them. I've also translated the text files and updated the READMEs so they're braindead simple to understand how to install and use.

I highly recommend using Hidden Clusters, I think it's the definitive way to play the game, but if you want a vanilla experience then use DSO Mini Update, it only adds a handful of things that Hidden Clusters also has.

Side note: The creator of Hidden Clusters, [SNF]Norbert, has been working on his mod for the last 12 years, even just last month it had an update! I'll try to keep the above links up-to-date with the latest versions whenever they release.

Nice ... completed the vanilla game ...never heard of those ... maybe I'll giv'em a try someday.
But if [SNF]Norbert did a update a month ago ... where can I find the original release? And is there a full changelog somewhere?

The full (and very long) changelog is included in the files, machine translated to English.
Norbert posts about his mod, and modding the game in general here:

Everything is in German though, one of the two major reasons why I wanted to upload it to Nexus/ModDB.
