Ferengi Textures Upgrade and updated A2 model for Ferengi Marauder and Trader.:
This is version2 of my previous mod.

Hello:
I am Chiletrek and this mod contains upgrades for the Ferengi Trader and the Ferengi Marauder. This pack also contains a re-exported Marauder model with illuminated texture and re-exported ferengi Trader with added missing joints, like ventings and hull damages for better ingame playing.

If you want to keep playing online, do not install the new models and just install the new texture.


Things I made:

1) An update of the Ferengi ships' textures.
2) Added missing Alpha Channel for the Ferengi Trader, and added insignia for cooler details and added missing joints while keeping the existing ones.
3) Updated model of the Ferengi Marauder, texture with Alpha Channel for illuminations and added insignia and missing Impulse Engines, also modified Materials for better effect ingame, specially in dark maps or maps with custom ambient illuminations.
4) This Read me.


Installation Instructions (only re-texture for online playing):

1) Unzip the contents of this file on a temporary folder.
2) Open your Star Trek Armada II folder.
3) Copy FERENGICARGOSHIP.tga & Zferengi.tga , and paste them in your TexturesRGB folder.


Installation Instructions (Updated models not for online playing):

1) Open the directory "updated models" inside this zip.
2) Copy Zferengi.sod and Zfercarg.sod and paste them in your Sod folder. Replace when asked.
3) Copy ZferengiA2.tga and paste it to your TexturesRGB folder. (This will add the texture with alpha channel for proper illuminations).


And that's all, I remind you its up to you to install the updated models, I think it looks nice when illuminated but sadly it may not allow you for multiplayer games, so the best would be to backup the original models and install the new one when playing Instant Action and then recover the original one whenever you want to play online.
