Star Trek Armada II
The Mamacube
By: Reptus

Description: Well, I was looking through the files and I noticed this one file called
bmama.odf. It was an old, unused Borg fusion cube - but why was it called the "Mamacube"?
I still haven't quite figured that out yet, but I'm guessing it was the cube that opens up
and releases a sphere from Star Trek: First Contact. I've completely reprogrammed it and
added a few new things, including the ability to build Spheres.

Installation:

1. Copy all the files included into their directories (or just unzip directly into your A2
directory).

2. Open sprites\gui_global.spr and add these lines to the very bottom:



//Borg Mamacube
@tmaterial=default
@reference=64
b_bmamasmall gbbbattle1 0 0 64 64
b_bmama gbbbattle3 0 0 64 64
b_gmcubeintegrator gbcubeintegrator00 0 0 64 64
@tmaterial=interface
@reference=256

bmamasmallw2 borgwireframe01 48 0 48 48
bmamasmallw3 borgwireframe01 96 0 48 48
bmamasmallw4 borgwireframe01 144 0 48 48
bmamasmallw5 borgwireframe01 192 0 48 48
bmamaw1 borgwireframe02 0 144 48 48
bmamaw2 borgwireframe02 48 144 48 48
bmamaw3 borgwireframe02 96 144 48 48
bmamaw4 borgwireframe02 144 144 48 48
bmamaw5 borgwireframe02 192 144 48 48



3. Add these lines to tech1.tt and fulltech.tt:



bmamasmall.odf 0 //You may want to add something here.
bmama.odf 1 bmamasmall.odf //Please do not make this 0, even in fulltech.tt.
gmcubeintegrator.odf 0



4. Add these lines to a shipyard odf (preferably borg) and change XX to the next number in
the list:



buildItemXX = "bmamasmall"



5. If you want to be able to place this in the editor, add the following lines to the
bottom of odf\other\eb_named.odf:



item2 = "bmamasmall"
item3 = "bmama"


6. To build a Mamacube, either place it in the editor or build 8 Sections and combine them.
