1 - Installation

Backup any files that will be overwritten if you wish to save them. Not Needed but is smart incase you or I make a mistake.

Unzip this into a temp or mod directory in your A2 install.

Copy the contents of each folder into the matching folders of you chosen A2 install.

Overwrite any requested files.

If not open your tech1.tt file in the techtree directory and at the bottom of the Fed listings add the line
fambassador3.odf 0
and then save and close then open the fulltech.tt file and at the bottom add the same line, save and close.

Now go to your sprite directory and open the gui_global.SPR file and add the next line to the bottom of the Fed build buttons

@reference=64
b_fambassador3 gbfambassador3 0 0 64 64

and this at the top of the Fed wireframes

@reference=256
fambassador3w1 fambassador3w4 160 0 80 80

and save and close.

Add it to the build list of the yard you have chosen by adding the line
buildItemXX = "fambassador3"
Where XX is the next number in the list. Remeber no yard will buld more than 13 ships.

2 - System Requirements

This mod is designed to work best with stock 1.1 A2. The model is a medium quality model around 4200 polies; however every effort has been made to maintain proformance. This includes 5 Levels Of Detail for both the texturs and the mesh. Inspite of this older PCs, especially thoughs with less the 256MG of Ram or less then 128MG vid card might have problems with lag.

3 - Online Multiplayer

As long as you and your opponets intalls are EXACTLY THE SAME this should work online but it has not been tested in multiplayer.

4 - Known Issues

None known. That said if you find any bugs please report them. so I can fix them the next go around.

This mod is strictly for non-profit use. I don't own the rights to all of this stuff and so couldn't give you permission to charge for it even if I wanted too.

The reasons for this are fairly simple

1) We want to know where our files are being downloaded from!

2) We would prefer only having a few download mirrors because its considerably easier to update a smaller number of mirrors.
