Deathstarmod installation
 

Does anyone know how to install this into the game? I've moved all the files into their folders and added the build to the bconst.odf. But I don't know how and what to add to the gui_global.spr file.

Can anyone help?

does it actually have the wireframe and buildbuttons in the first place? If it doesn't the you don't need to do anything to the gui_global.spr.

It has things to add but I don't know where in the gui_global.spr file to add to. And I guess I don't know what construction ship to add it to either. I just need as much help as I can get. I haven't a clue how to do this. I can only follow specific instructions. HELP!!

Can you give a link to where you found the mod? if not can you zip the files for the mod and attach them to your next post?

you need to add "b_dstar gbdstar 0 0 64 64" below the "# Borg build buttons" and right below this line "@reference=64" to get the buildbutton

here is what it would look like:

# Borg build buttons
@reference=128
b_borpod1 gbbpod100 0 0 64 64
b_borpod2 gbbpod100 64 0 64 64
b_borpod4 gbbpod100 64 64 64 64
b_borpod5 gbbpod200 0 0 64 64
b_borpod6 gbbpod200 64 0 64 64
b_borpod7 gbbpod200 64 64 64 64
b_borpod8 gbbpod200 0 64 64 64

@reference=64
b_dstarw1 gbdstar 0 0 64 64

#Capture the Flag ships

Unfortunalty there is no wireframe however you can use the bulid button as a "wireframe" if you want something there instead of a blank space.

scroll down until you see "# Borg wireframes", at the bottom of the Borg Wireframes just before you see "#capturetheflagships" add the line "@reference=64" then below that add the line "dstarw1 gbdstar 0 0 64 64"

That should get you a buildbutton ingame and also the buildbutton as a "wireframe"

Heres what that should look like

# Borg wireframes
@reference=256
bbattle1w1 borgwireframe01 0 0 48 48
bbattle1w2 borgwireframe01 48 0 48 48
bbattle1w3 borgwireframe01 96 0 48 48
bbattle1w4 borgwireframe01 144 0 48 48
bbattle1w5 borgwireframe01 192 0 48 48

...

@reference=64
dstar gbdstar 0 0 64 64

Re: Deathstarmod installation
 

Thanks for the help. However, I don't find #capturetheflagships in the gui_global.spr file.

Re: Deathstarmod installation
 

should have been below the Borg Wireframes and have had something like this:

ctf_bbattlew1 ...
ctf_bbattlew2 ...
...

Add it below the "//Borg build buttons" and make sure you add "@reference=64" above it.

Ok, I added it in but the construction ship still doesn't give that construction feature.

Re: Deathstarmod installation
 

ok to add it to the Borg const ship (you want it in borg right...) open up bconsts.odf in the odf/ships folder. scroll down to where it says
buildItem0 = "b..."
buildItem1 = "b..."
...
buildItem11 = "b..." (I think buildItem11 is the last entry for an unmodded version of armada 2...)

below that line or whereever there is an open spot, add this"

buildItemX = "dstar"

that should let you build it in game...
