Deathstarmod installation

[kane_anuenue]

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?

Here is the link.

its the DeathStar (1.1) download

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

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

[Lord_Trekie]

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.

[Lord_Trekie]

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...
