### Addons
+The art and sounds for the game are in the Data directory and can be freely modified for your own use.
+
If you have access to the original sound and sprite packs for Maelstrom, you can build Maelstrom from source and use the included tool `macres` to unpack them into the Data directory to change the art and sounds for the game:
macres --export ‘%Maelstrom Sprites’ Data
macres --export ‘%Maelstrom Sounds’ Data
+If you play network multiplayer, all players must have the same set of sprites, otherwise the games will get out of sync.

Enjoy!
