Mercenary Smuggler by CanadianBorg

This is only my fourth mod, so any advice or pointers are appreciated.

The Mercenary Smuggler I designed is based on a retextured Constitution Class converted from Starfleet Command 1 (yes, I have the original), and the rest is custom-textured kitbash of the stock ships.

This ship is intended to go with my recently released Mercenary Pack mod.

Installation:

Open the archive file and extract the folder "Mercenary Smuggler" somewhere outside your A2 directory.

Copy all the folders inside to your root A2 directory.

Now, open gui_global.spr in the "sprites" folder in your A2 main directory with Notepad, and scroll down to the Federation build buttons. Now enter:

b_mercsmug gbmercsmug 0 0 64 64

below the last item.

Close gui_global.spr and go to the techtree folder within the A2 directory with Notepad. Now open tech1.tt. Scroll down to the Federation ships and add:

mercsmug.odf 0

Now save and close tech1.tt. Open fulltech.tt with Notepad and enter the following anywhere in the list:

mercsmug.odf 0

Now save and close the file.

Now you have two options:

Option 1. Go to the odf folder, and go to "stations". Open fyard.odf with Notepad, and enter the following:

buildItemxx = "mercsmug"

Where "xx" is the next number in the list (replace it with this number). Do the same with ryard.odf, kyard.odf, and cyard.odf.

Option 2. Go to the odf folder, and go to "stations". Open mercbase.odf with notepad (if you downloaded my Mercenary Pack, you'll have it, otherwise, take option 1),
and enter the following:

buildItemxx = "mercsmug"

Where "xx" is the next number in the list (replace it with this number).

That's it! You're ready to use the Mercenary Smuggler in your game! I might be coming out with more pirate and mercenary ships by the way, so stay tuned!
