FERENGI SCAVENGERS Mod by STGamerNew2002(original idea by WarBorg)


DESCRIPTION:

This is my version of the Ferengi race called "FERENGI SCAVENGERS". Based on the original
mod by WarBorg, they have the almost same story premesis of STEALING, SELLING and/or using
other races's TECHNOLOGY for their GAIN of POWER and DESTRUCTION. I've just made the mod
abit different/PLAYABLE now. All weapons in this mod are known weapons from other races in
the game, but in different color effects.

Again, thanks for downloading my mod and continue to enjoy it!


INSTALLATION(2 TYPES OF INSTALLATION CHOICES):

First Type Installation(for the Newbies):
This is a zipped files program and should be EXTRACTED first into a SEPERATE folder,
then place those folders into your Star Trek Main directory in this way:

C:\Program Files\Activision\Star Trek Armada II


1. Place any .SOD files into the 'SOD' directory.

2. Place any .tga files into the 'Textures' directory.

3. Place gui_ferengi.spr, gui_global.spr & weapons.spr file into the 'Sprites' directory.

4. All odf folders into the 'odf' folder directory.

5. Place misc folder into the 'misc' directory.

6. Place sounds folder into the 'sounds' directory.

7. Place bitmaps folder into 'bitmaps' directory.

8. Place these files into your MAIN Directory: event.dat(*), ART_CFG(*) & RTS_CFG(*)

9. Place the Ai/AIPs folder into your 'Ai/AIPs' directory.


Second Type Installation(for ANY EXPERTS OF MODDING):
*This is for EDITING of certain files and to not altenate ANY OF your PERSONAL/MODIFIED FILES
settings*:

This is for the EXPERTS of Modding/Editing that DON'T want their own personal/modified altered,
but if you feel CONFIDENT enough in doing this yourself, NEWBIES, then I say CONGRADS to making
the EFFORT in doing so. I hope that my instructions here will make this editing MUCH EASY and
Understandable in the BEST WAY I can describe it. What's listed here are 5 setions of editing
menus. This will be more of a 'Select, Copy & Paste' editing. Each one will represent a
specific file(s):

Ferengi Events(events.dat file)
Ferengi Gui-Global(gui_global.spr file)
Ferengi Techtree(tech1.tt file)
Ferengi Weapons(weapons.spr file)


For the 'events.dat' file: open the Ferengi Scavengers file 'Ferengi Events', Select, Copy & Paste.

For the 'gui_global.spr' file: open the Ferengi Scavengers file 'Ferengi Gui-Global', Select, Copy & Paste.

For the 'tech1.tt' file: open the Ferengi Scavengers file 'Ferengi Techtree', Select, Copy & Paste.

For the 'weapons.spr' file: open the Ferengi Scavengers file 'Ferengi Weapons', Select, Copy & Paste.


***IMPORTANT NOTE: make sure the files goes in the right area EXACTLY as it reads or IT WILL NOT
WORK/CRASH! Also, when you START TO go into the window selection of the game's races, MAKE
SURE YOU TURN OFF THE 'FERENGI SCAVENGER' SELECTION ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WINDOW CHOICES!
THE GAME'S FERENGI SCAVENGER SHIP WILL NOT WORK!!!!***


DISCLAIMERS

Some files may be OVERWRITTEN like; events.dat, weapons.spr, gui_global.spr & tech1.tt files
that you may already edited/modified, so back up your files! If you're a EXPERT in editing
files and don't want your personalized files changed, then I suggest to back-up your
personilzed modified files and do what you know best in EDITING.

I CAN NOT/WILL NOT BE HELD FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGE(S) TO YOUR COMPUTER,
so you install this at your OWN RISK!
