Installation:

- All folders can be found in your Star Trek Armada main directory(C:/Programs File/Activision/Star Trek Armada)

- Please be sure to back up any files involved just in case you wish to revert back later.



1.) Now, if you already have an existing tech1 file in use then please open that up instead and add thise line into the special weapons section....


gfsremod.odf 0


..otherwise copy all files into their corresponding folders and over-write.


2.) Go to your sprites folder and open the gui_global file, look for the section containing the special weapon listing.....


# Special weapon buttons
@reference=64



..when you find it, add this to the list......

b_gfsremod gbfedremod 0 0 64 64



3.) Finally, open up the file of the ship you would like equipped with this weapon. Once selected, scroll down to the special weapons section and add this....


// Shield Remodulation
weapon## = "gfsremod"
weaponHardpoints## = "hp01"


....change this(##) to the next number up from the ship's last special weapon number count.



Note: I've included an additional special weapon odf to extend the idea of multiple special weapon button placement(for flexibility with various ships' other special weapons)this weapons' default is the second slot and the second(gfsrmodd)will over-write the corbomite reflector button(slot four)to make it work you'll of course need to add this one to the tech1, gui_global, and unto the ship as well.
