--------------

The Darnax vessel modification is provided with the following files in compressed .ZIP archive format:-

o cdarnax.sod - Storm3d file containing model.
o cdarnax.odf - Object Definition File containing vessel statistics and armourments
o cdarnax.bmp - Bitmap image for 'Admiral's Log' in ST:A2
o hps.jpg - JPEG image containing hard point information
o readme.txt - This file.

These files are also provided for use if NO OTHER MODIFICATIONS are present:

o tech1.tt - Standard Technology tree. Makes the DARNAX avaliable in normal tech only - other techtrees will not
have access to the Darnax class.
o gui_global.spr - Sprite containing build button (set to Raslisk class style, I don't have a build button for the Darnax)
0 cyard2.odf - Second construction yard with the Darnax added.

If you've installed other mods, the Darnax class will have to be added to the shipyard of your choice by inserting
the following line into a Constuction Yard such as 'cyard2.odf':

buildItemx = "cdarnax"

where 'x' represents the next free number in the list. In the event that no Cardassian mods have been added to your ST:A2 installation, the provided file cyard2.odf can be used instead.
