Description:
Hello:
From Gene's Roddenberry's Andromeda serie, this is the first Systems Commonwealth pack I have made and more packs might come soon. This is the High Guard's Glorious Heritage class with all the three coloured versions seen in the series.
It also come with a completely new model of the Nova Bomb I made a long time ago and it is also included a model of the drone weapon seen every now and then.
This mod comes with the models, odfs, new sounds, new weapon sprites, build-buttons, wireframes, Admiral's Log Pics and special weapons. I hope you'll all enjoy it.

Systems Commonwealth Pack 01 (Glorious Heritage class pack):
Hello:
I am Chiletrek and this mod contains my version of Glorious Heritage in the 3 versions shown during the serie "Andromeda": standard colors (like the Andromeda Ascendant), golden colors (like the Pax Magellanic) and red colors (like the Crimson Sunrise).
All Glorious Heritage models have an accurate scaling compared to the stock ships, but the Nova Bombs and Drones are bigger so they can be seen ingame with no problems.
Things I made:
1) Models of the 3 versions of the Glorious Heritage class, updated model and a new texture for the Nova Bomb and a model of Drones.
2) Buildbuttons, wireframes, Admiral's Log pics and ODFs.
3) New sound files for the ships' weapons. Sound files taken from videos of Andromeda episodes.
4) This Read me.
Installation Instructions:
Before anything, you should make a backup of your files since some will be edited and/or replaced. The file that will receive a big editing will be gui_global.spr, so try to have a backup of it before editing it, so it will be easier to revert to a previous state.
1) Unzip the contents of this file on a temporary folder.
2) Open your Star Trek Armada II folder.
3) Copy .sod files from this "SOD" folder and paste them in your SOD folder located in the main game directory.
4) Copy all .bmp files and paste them in your bitmapsAdmiralsLogShipImages folder.
5) Copy the content of the "ships" folder and paste them in your odfships folder. Replace if asked, these files are the ships' main odf files.
6) Copy the content of the "Pulse" folder and paste them in your odfPulse folder. These files are the ships' normal weapon files.
7) Copy the content of the "special_weapons" folder and paste them in your odfspecial_weapons folder. These files ar the slipstream, deploying/retracting of Battle Blades and drones special weapons.
8) Copy all .wav files of the "effects" folder and paste them in your soundseffects folder.
9) Copy all .tga files of the "RGB" folder and paste them in your TexturesRGB folder.
9a) The .tga files from the "RGB (hi-res)" folder are optional and they are the original texture files for the 3 Glorious Heritage ships, the Nova Bomb, the Drones and the Pulse Weapon sprites. Install this to get the best quality but it might cause lags ingame.
10) Open your Sprites folder and open gui_global.spr with Notepad.
11) Search for:

Posts: 194 | Holy mother of god!!! It's finally out! I never thought this would be made available for A2, but here it is!!  I always wanted to have the BC model of the Glorious heritage for A2, and now I finally can! And believe me folks, this is a thing of beauty, and by far the best model you'll ever get with A2(the only model that can compare is probably the BC one). It even comes with battle blades!  If you're a fan of Andromeda, GET THIS, NOW. |

Well, honestly I was thinking in only doing a basic Commonwealth Fleet. But we'll see as I might attempt that, but no guarantees. I hope that is still ok  . |

Posts: 194 | Any new materials for commonwealth get two thumbs up from me Chile. Just out of curiosity, how many type of ships do you plan on doing? I ask that because I'm not sure there are that many variety of ships in the show. There is the siege-perilous class that I can remember, but I think there are no more than four or five types of different ship classes in the show, well that are shown anyways. But if it's your own concept ships, that would be |

Well, I have a model of the Siege Perilous in the making, the other canon ones are the Righteous Fist oif Heaven (a favourite of mine) a cruiser and the Eternal Vigilance (not sure if the Renewed Valor was of this class). There is also the shipyard design and maybe a station or two so we can actually build Commonwealth Ships .
There are a couple of fan-designs I might attempt, but first I need to get some vacations as I am in the weeks of final exams so no new releases any time soon. Sorry.
But ideas are present that can be made. |
