This mod adds some addition backgrounds to Armada II that were included with the origonal game but not used, because they didn't look quite right. These have been modified to work correctly with the original game, and also includes some original backgrounds.


Redux Backgrounds mod for Star Trek Armada II by Slider17

Summary:
You may have noticed Armada II came with some additional backgrounds, but they are not used because they are rough in-game. I have reformatted 7 of them to work with the Armada II Background field, accessed via ctrl+r in the map editor. I think they are from Armada I, but I have never had the pleasure... And I have thrown in one of my own, from the TNG episode Where No One Has Gone Before. Anyway I know its a lot of stock files, but I finally decided to release it after all, enjoy!

Requirements:
Patch 1.1 installed
Map Editor installed

Features:
7 unlocked backgrounds
1 new background


This archive should include the following files:

Now these look pretty neat (all except the forth one, the image looks a little fuzzy and not too good quality) :sad: Nevertheless, neat job on sorting out the other ones Slider ;-)

It's always fun to snoop around and find what hidden goodies are in games that weren't used/not all used.

Erm, guys, they're not "Hidden Armada-2 Content". They are from Armada 1, that were included in A2 (like many A1 files) but not used. :-P Nice to see them enabled though :-)
