**Point Defence Turrets** by species_314159
These are phaser turrets that have had their weapons replaced with point defence phasers. There is one turret for each race.

**Installation**


**For an unmodded game:

Copy / paste all files into their corresponding Armada2 folders

or

copy / paste all folders into the Armada2 root directory (usually C:\Program Files\Activision\Star Trek Armada II)

Click yes to all file-overwrite popups.



**For a modded game:

1. Copy / paste all files in the bitmaps, odf\stations, odf\weapons and SOD folders to their corresponding Armada2 folders


2. Go to the Armada2 Sprites folder and open gui_global.spr . Find

# Federation build buttons
@reference=128
@tmaterial=default

and under that,

@reference=64

Add the line

b_fpdturret gbfturret00 0 0 64 64

below @reference=64.

Do the same for the rest of the races (find the race's build buttons, put the relavent line below @reference=64):

klingons:
b_kpdturret gbkturret00 0 0 64 64

cardassians:
b_cpdturret gbcturret 0 0 64 64

romulans:
b_rpdturret gbrturret 0 0 64 64

borg:
b_bpdturret gbbturret 0 0 64 64

species 8472:
b_spdturret gb8472_Sentinel 0 0 64 64



3. Scroll down and find the wirframes section (begins with ## SPRITE DATA ##)

In the federation wireframes section, add the lines

fpdturretw1 fedwireframe06 0 48 48 48
fpdturretw2 fedwireframe06 48 48 48 48
fpdturretw3 fedwireframe06 96 48 48 48
fpdturretw4 fedwireframe06 144 48 48 48
fpdturretw5 fedwireframe06 192 48 48 48

Do the same for the rest of the races

borg:

bpdturretw1 borgwireframe05 0 48 48 48
bpdturretw2 borgwireframe05 48 48 48 48

spdphasw4 8472wireframe04 144 0 48 48
spdphasw5 8472wireframe04 192 0 48 48



4. Go to the Armada2 techtree folder and open the tech1.tt and fulltech.tt files. Add the lines

fpdturret.odf 0
bpdturret.odf 0
cpdturret.odf 0
kpdturret.odf 0
rpdturret.odf 0
spdturret.odf 0

to each of them.



5. Go to odf/ships and find fconst.odf. Add the following line to the end of the buildlist:

buildItemX = "fpdturret"

where X is the next number on the list. Do the same for the other construction ships and the species 8472 defender:

bconst.odf: buildItemX = "bpdturret"

cconst.odf: buildItemX = "cpdturret"

kconst.odf: buildItemX = "kpdturret"

rconst.odf: buildItemX = "rpdturret"

8472_defender.odf: buildItemX = "spdturret"


6. Save all files before closing them. If you get an error message, open the file's properies and uncheck Read-Only.


**Known Bugs**

None, except that the build button for a turret might not show up if it is buildItem14 or higher in the build list of the construction vessel. This is
problem with the game, not my mod.
