Armada 2: Activison & Mad-Doc

INSTALLATION:
1) Unzip the contents of the file into a temporary directory.
2) Open the folder C:\Activision\Star Trek Armada 2\Bitmaps\Admirals Log\Ship Images and copy fpulsar.bmp there
3) Open the folder C:\Activision\Star Trek Armada 2\ODF\Ships and copy fpulsar.odf into it.
4) Open the folder C:\Activision\Star Trek Armada 2\SOD and place the fpulsar.sod file there.
5) Finally open C:\Activision\Star Trek Armada 2\Textures\RGB and paste nova_1.tga, nova_2.tga, nova_3.tga, nova_4.tga, gbfpuslar.tga, and wirePulsar.tga there.
6) Next to add the ship to your game, open C:\Activision\Star Trek Armada 2\ODF\Stations\fyard.odf with a text editor, scroll down until you see:

//Construction Parameters
buildItem0 = "fscout"
buildItem1 = "fdestroy2"
buildItem2 = "fdestroy"
buildItem3 = "fcolony"
buildItem4 = "fcruise1"
buildItem5 = "fcruise3"
buildItem6 = "fassault"
buildItem7 = "fcruise2"

add buildItem8 = "fpulsar" right below buildItem7 = "fcruise2"

7) Next to get the buildbutton and wireframe to appear, open C:\Activision\Star Trek Armada 2\Sprites\gui_global.spr, scroll down to the scetion titled Federation buildbuttons, add this line right below @reference=512:

b_fpulsar gbfpulsar 0 0 64 64

for the wireframe scroll down some more until you find # federation wire frames, with @reference=256 right below it, then add this below that line:

fpulsarw1 wirePulsar 256 256 256 256

8) The final step is to add the Pulsar to your techtree. Open the C:\Activision\Star Trek Armada 2\techtrees\ folder and then open the techtree you want to add the ship too (I reccomend tech1.tt and fulltech.tt)

Anywhere in the file (tech1.tt or fulltech.tt) add the line:

fpulsar.odf 0 //Pulsar Class

9) If you followed these easy steps then you should now have the Pulsar class in your Armada 2 game. Enjoy.
