**INSTALLATION**

To make this quicker and easier, in the Armada II main folder, select all, right click on an item and go down to properties, and uncheck the box marked "Read Only".


1) Copy the ODF folder into your Armada II directory, which is by default, C:/Program Files/Activision/Star Trek Armada II.
This mod will not replace any item, as I have developed this to be easy to install into both a stock and a modded game, so when it asks if you would like to overwrite, just click Yes.


2) The buildbuttons, wireframes and admiral's log pics do not need to be installed, as the models used are from the stock game to ensure compatability.


3) In your Armada II directory go to the ODF folder, then "ships" and scroll down until you find fconst.odf, open this file.


4) Scroll until you find the line: buildItem12 = "fupgrade".
Underneath this, type in: buildItem13 = "fturretbase".

in odf folder open kconst.odf

buildItem12 = "kupgrade".
Underneath this, type in: buildItem13 = "kturretbase".

in odf folder open kconst.odf

buildItem12 = "kupgrade".
Underneath this, type in: buildItem13 = "kturretbase".

in odf folder open rconst.odf

buildItem12 = "rupgrade".
Underneath this, type in: buildItem13 = "rturretbase".

in odf folder open cconst.odf

buildItem12 = "cupgrade".
Underneath this, type in: buildItem13 = "cturretbase".
Save changes and exit.


5) Go back to the main Armada II folder. This time open the "techtree" folder. Open file "fulltech".


6) Press return on your keyboard to start a new line, and paste these lines in:
