This is my Victory 3 1.2 mod for the Federation in Armada 2.
Version 1.2 is an improvement over 1.1 as new weapons are
included (standard turbolasers have their rate of fire
increased and spread out, multi targeting dual lasers included,
and torpedoes that actually do damage). Laser textures are new
too.

I created this to fill the gap in between the Victory 2/MC80a
and ISD/MC80b. Now it's available for the stock version of
game. One of these can turn a Fusion Cube or well defended
base to space dust. After a taste of this, even the Borg will
respect you.

BACK UP ALL FILES YOU ARE MODIFYING--You may regret it if
you don't like the mod and try to uninstall it.

to install:
--put the ivsd3 and vsd3 files into your ships/odf file.
--put the vsd2phys and the swcapcombat files into the odf/
other folder.
--put the torp and torpo files in the odf/weapons/photons file.
--put the ghtlaser(and 2, 3), ghtlasr (and 2, 3), ghtlasro
and ghtlasero files into the odf/weapons/pulse folder.
--put the gbivsd2, wblank, vSD, ewvic, wbpulse3 and wdpulse
files into the textures/rgb folder.
--put the contents of the SOD file into the SOD folder.
--put the contents of the sprites folder into the sprites
folder in the A2 directory.
--put the capital and gtlaser files into the sound folder.

--copy and paste the following into the fyard2 folder:
builditem4 = "ivsd3"

--copy and paste the following into your gui_global file under federation build buttons:
b_ivsd3 gbivsd 0 0 64 64

--copy and paste the following into your gui_global file under fed wire frames:

ivsd3w3 ewvic 40 40 40 40
ivsd3w4 ewvic 80 0 40 40
ivsd3w5 ewvic 0 0 40 40

open your tech1 file in the techtree folder. make it look like this:

fcolony.odf 2 fyard.odf fresear.odf // colony ship
fassault.odf 2 fyard.odf fresear2.odf // assault ship (iwo Jima class)
fgalaxy.odf 1 fyard2.odf // battleship (galaxy class)
fbattle.odf 2 fyard2.odf fupgrade.odf // battleship (sovereign class)
ivsd3.odf 2 fyard2.odf fupgrade.odf // Victory 3 Star Destroyer

if you want to manually install this into your game without
replacing the weapon sprite you have to add the following:

# Starwars Green TurboLaser
elaser wbpulse3 0 0 256 40

# Starwars Heavy Green Turbolaser
elaser2 wdpulse 0 0 256 40

# Star Wars Concussion Missle
