Systems Commonwealth's Nova Bomb:

Hello:
I am Chiletrek and this mod contains a model and texture I made from the Nova Bomb, to make use for mods in the universe of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda.


Things I made:

1) A model along with a buildbutton, alternate Button if used as an offensive special weapon, a basic wireframe, Admiral's Log pic and ODF.
2) The missile uses a trail for visual effects, but the coding already comes with the game, so it should cause no problems.
3) This Read me with instructions to make this mod fully playable.

Installation Instructions:

1) Unzip the contents of this file on a temporary folder.
2) Open your Star Trek Armada II folder.
3) Copy cwnova.sod and paste it in your SOD folder.
4) Copy cwnova.bmp and paste it in your bitmapsAdmiralsLogShipImages folder.
5) Copy cwnovaCT.tga, cwnovawire.tga & cwnovabut1.tga (or cwnovabut2.tga for the alternate special weapon button), and paste them in your TexturesRGB folder.
6) Copy cwnova.odf and paste it in your odfships folder.

7) Open your Sprites folder and open gui_global.spr with Notepad.
