Gives you the option of using a diffrent dilithium moon in the map editor.


Hi, I'm Chiletrek:
Remember some campaigns of ST Armada1? In those campaigns appears not only the dilithium moon, but rather another moon design also appeared, something but resemblance to a "potato". In ST Armada2 those moons didn't appeared, but I discovered that the model (.SOD) and the data file (.ODF) appears in the game so...why don't try some new moons??

This little mod will allow you to put this new moon in any map you are making, all you have to do is to copy the file:
ej_moons.odf to the --> Star Trek Armada II\odf\other directory

Or if you had modified this file already, then open the file ej_moons.odf with a text editor (notepad, etc) and add the line.
item* = "mdmoon3" --> where you must replace the * with the next free number and the moon will be accesible from the map editor.

I hope everybody likes this moon, it has the same amount of Dilithium than the normal one.
For any suggestions, opinions or ideas you can E-mail me at: astro_nejiro@hotmail.com

Thanks for the comment, I hope everybody like this "potato" moon .

But why does not appear the: "Other Files by Chiletrek" ?? Because I made the Theleron Beam patch too...

Well, it really doesn't matter.... All my concern is to make enjoyable things for everybody :-) :-)

Thanks again for the post!

To get the map editor, follow these steps:


1) Go to my computer, with the A2 disk in your CD drive.


2) Right click on it, and select Explore.


3) Go to the Setup/Editor folder.


4) Select the files ATVI and unsupportedextension_mapedit.


5) Copy the selected files


6) Go to your A2 directory, and paste them.


7) Go to your desktop, right click on your A2 shortcut, and select properties (If you dont have an Armada2.exe shortcut, go to your A2 directory, make one, and paste it on your desktop


8) Find the Target line, put a space at the end of it, and type this:


/edit newmap.bzn


This will activate the map editor when you use the shortcut. "Newmap" can also be changed to anything, as long its less than 8 characters and ends in .bzn. Do go back to standard A2, just delete the "/edit newmap.bzn".


9) Press the <Tab> key to move back and fourth between the menus, press Ctrl+A to bring it into a moving game mode, and right click on a unit to see its stats. Enjoy!


To get the map editor if you have the Action Pack:


1) Go to this link: www.armada2files.com/file.info?ID=12053


2) Download the files.


3) Extract them to your A2 directory, then follow steps 7-9 for users with the original A2 disk.
