Introduction:
After many years I've returned to the Armada 1 and on the Internet I've discovered an addon by Evans-Jordan, which allowed to build and Galaxy class ships in the game. Then I started exploring other modifications and finally I tried to create something of my own.
In my creation I have included addon by Pepperman that adds cloaked sensor satelite to Romulans. For Klingons, I added the possibility to build K'Vort class starships. For all game fractions I made some adjustments of parameters and I also added some new icons for the construction menu.
Modifications:
--------------
Federation:
* Starbase can now build Venture class scout ships
* The shipyard can build Galaxy class starships
* Construction ship can now build a large Spacedock
* Spacedock sensors have longer range and are able to detect cloaked ships
* Spacedock can construct the same ships as the basic shipyard
* Spacedock was equipped with torpedoes and stronger shields
* The construction of Spacedock will be very costly both in time and raw materials
* Antimatter mines now operate as real mines, their life span was set from 30 to 180 (probably seconds)
Klingons:
 * Starbase can build NuQ'Duj class scout ships
 * Starbase can build B'rel class destroyers
 * Construction ships are now equipped with one disruptor for self-defense
 * Gravity mines now operate as real mines, their life span was set from 20 to 240 (probably seconds)
 * The shipyard can build K'Vort class cruisers
Romulans:
 * Starbase can now build a Talon class scout ships
 * attached addon by Pepperman to add cloaked sensor satellite armed with its own disruptor to construction menu (the satellite should have its own special weapon but I was unable to make it work)
 * Mining ships are now equipped with a sensor jammer and their special energy has been increased from 1000 to 1500 (1 sensor jam cost 800)
Borg:
* Starbase can build a Detector class scout ships
* Construction ships are now able to replicate themselves
* Construction and mining ships now can be build also in a basic shipyard and for their construction it is not necessary to have a starbase (or otherwise, you can loose the starbase and you will be still able to construct them)
* Borg Assimilator now have a maximum capacity of the crew set to 250 (skeleton crew remains at 200)
* Cube now have a maximum capacity of the crew set to 2000 (more drones fits while assimilating enemy ships using borg tractor beam)
* Interceptor Transwarp jump now cost only 600 energy (ie, after a few seconds it can turn to jump away)
Setup Instructions:
==================================================
0. Running the game on Windows 7
==================================================
- Install Patch to 1.2
- Go to the directory where you have installed the game (e.g. C:/Program Files/Activistion/Star Trek - Armada)
- Right click on Armada.exe
- Select Properties
- In the Properties window, select the Compatibility tab
- Set it for Windows XP SP2
- Run in 256 colors
- Set to run as administrator
- Start the game
==================================================
1. Download file
==================================================
Download file, virus check and extract files to a known location other
than the Armada directory.
==================================================
2. Copy files
==================================================
Copy and replace files:
Note: !! Each file you are going to replace, you should first back up in
case you want to return the game to its original state without having to reinstall the entire game.
Copy the *.SOD to your Armada SOD Directory
Copy the *.odf to your Armada Addon Directory
Copy the *.tt to your Armada Addon Directory
Copy the *.tga to your Armada Textures/RGB Directory
==================================================
3. Mod the appropriate addon files
==================================================
If you have replaced all the files in the previous step, then nothing
needs to be further modified.
==================================================
4. Mod the Gui_global.spr to add build buttons
==================================================
Open the gui_global.spr file located in the Star Trek - ArmadaSprites
folder.
Add the following buttons under the # Federation build buttons header:
@reference=64
# Build button for the Galaxy class starships
b_fgalaxy gbfgalaxy00 0 0 64 64
# Build button for Federation Space Dock
b_fbaseHQ gbfHQbase00 0 0 64 64
Now add the following button under the # Klingon build buttons:
@reference=64
# Build button for the K'vort
b_kkvort gbkkvort00 0 0 64 64
And now add the wireframe references under the # Ship Wireframes header:
@reference=128
# Wireframe for the K'Vort class cruiser
kkvortw1 kwdestroy 40 0 40 40
kkvortw2 kwdestroy 0 40 40 40
kkvortw3 kwdestroy 40 40 40 40
kkvortw4 kwdestroy 80 0 40 40
kkvortw5 kwdestroy 0 0 40 40
==================================================
5. Install Advanced Romulan Spy Satellite 1.0
==================================================
Extract the files from the advanced_spy_satellite zip and follow the instructions in the readme.txt. **
** Note: The newly copied .tt files and the const.odf
file already contain the line adding Advanced Romulan
Spy Satellite in the construction menu, so this point
in the instructions can then be skipped. Unlike
the instructions, here remains the possibility to build both
the Romulan satellites.
==================================================
6. Have fun!
==================================================
I hope you enjoy this addition to ST Armada. Have fun.
==================================================
