I created this mod for several different reasons. First, as a tribute to the Armada 2 community. Without all of your work, this mod would never have been created in the first place. Second, in remembrance of Ricardo Montalban (KHAAAAAN!!!!), and third, I think the TMP era was one of the greatest in the history of Star Trek. I also made it in anticipation of the new Star Trek movie. The goal of this mod was to take the best TMP work from the community and combine it to create the ultimate TMP race mod which I have called Starfleet. I have created this mod in the exact image of the pre-existing federation, so I know the mod is balanced. I have also tried to stick to canon material as much as possible, so all of the ships should be recognizable. This is my first mod, and hopefully is the first of many more. Once again, thank you to the Armada 2 community, this is for you!

The screenshots were taken with the Armada Upgrade project.

19. Locate the file named "weapon.spr" found in the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/Sprites folder and open it (use notepad).

Search for where it says:

"@reference=128
@tmaterial=additive"

And underneath that add:

# Starfleet Phaser
tmpphaser tmpphaser 0 0 32 32 @anim=tex4x4

# Starfleet Torpedo
tmptorp tmptorp 0 0 32 32 @anim=tex4x4

# Probe
probe probe 0 0 64 64 @anim=tex2x2


20. Open the file named "starfleet" and "races" found in the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/odf/other folder and open them (use notepad).

At the bottom of races add

racex = "starfleet.odf" where x is the next consecutive number. At the top, increase numberOfRaces by 1

Note: this next step is only necesarry if you have additional races added into your game

Change the instant action slot number in starfleet to the number it will be after your other races. Be carefull, the game starts counting slots at 0 so it's probably 1 less than what you think it is.

That should do it! You should now have Starfleet working in your game and you can now enjoy all the ships from the TMP era.


Final note: I have included the shelley and thufir class within the mod, but they are not usable in the mod as it is. I intend to turn the Shelly into a carrier and the Thufir into an interdictor in further mods. If, however, you still want to use them, open upt the tmpyard2.odf and delete the // infront of them (they have not been balanced)

Special Thanks to:

All who helped out my AIP problem on the forum thread (http://forums.filefront.com/st-a2-modding-editing/393824-aip-files-crashing.html)

The Armada 2 Community, without you, I would never have become interested in modding, and would never have compiled your amazing work into this mod. Thanks!
