Maelstrom 4.0.2 Add-ons (mods)

This is a collection of add-on content for the SDL3 port of the game Maelstrom. You can find the game at:

https://github.com/libsdl-org/Maelstrom/

The .zip files in this collection contain content adapted from the old Maelstrom add-ons, formerly available at:

https://www.libsdl.org/projects/Maelstrom/add-ons.html

...and still available on the Wayback Machine at:

Graphics and sound mods:

Sound-only mods:

NOTE: Due to a limitation of the game, only 3 mods can be displayed in the chooser (4, actually, but Maelstrom_1980 ships with the game). If you install more than 3 of these mods, you won't be able to select any beyond the first 3. This is because the "Select art & sounds" dialog box can't be scrolled nor resized. A future version of Maelstrom may fix this bug.

The old .zip files were extracted, and the Macintosh-format game resources were converted with "macres" from the Maelstrom 4.0.2 source, then zipped up along with a README.txt file for each.

The original documentation from the old .zip files is included, in the docs/ directory.

To use these mods in the game, copy the .zip files to the "mods/" directory for Maelstrom, e.g. /opt/maelstrom/mods/ (use the directory where the Maelstrom_1980.zip file was installed). Then start Maelstrom and click the 'cardboard box' icon in the lower right corner of the title screen.
