Hideki Class Hideki Class

He's at it again. This time, the subject of Dan1025's modding efforts is the Hideki class Cardassian scout ship. And like every other mod that he's released as part of this continuing effort, the awesomeness continues. The Hideki is the spoonheads' answer to the Peregrine, or the Bird of Prey, and the screencap clearly shows just how well they work in that role.

As of late, Dan's begun adding wireframe and build button replacements --and they fit really well! Fortunately everything can be installed to replace the stock version using the detailed install instructions listed below, and as always, Dan's outdone himself in his readme.

Download this one and add it to your collection.

Cool


Continuing my line of replacement Cardassian ships I present the new Hideki Class, made by simply converting Zorgs Hideki Class from SFC. The model has 2 textures and a poly count of 776.

This will act as a replacement for your Hideki Class (cscout).

Included in this mod are:

SOD file
Ship textures
Borg textures
Ship ODF
AdmiralsLog picture
Buildbutton
Wireframe

****************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Installation Instructions:

1. Place "cscout.sod" into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/SOD folder.
2. Place all files found in the RGB folder into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/Textures/RGB folder.
3. Place "cscout.odf" into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/odf/ships folder.
4. Place the "cscout.bmp" file found in the ShipImages folder into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/bitmaps/AdmiralsLog/ShipImages folder.

(Ensuring you click "Yes" when the computer asks if you'd like to replace the older files).

5. Find the file named "gui_global.spr" found in the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/Sprites folder and open it (use notepad).

Search for where it says:

"Cardassian Wireframes"

and delete the entry for cscout

now find where it says:

"@reference=64"

(if "@reference=64" isn't in your Cardassian Wireframes section you'll need to add it at the end of the section).

and add:

cscoutw1 WFcscout 0 0 64 64
cscoutw2 WFcscout 0 0 64 64
cscoutw3 WFcscout 0 0 64 64
cscoutw4 WFcscout 0 0 64 64
cscoutw5 WFcscout 0 0 64 64

Save and close the file.

Very very nice Dan! Altho I have adjusted your peregrine where Hideki will no longer be able to get that closer to them, lol

Wait a minute! I've seen that model before, in about a dozen TCs for both A2 and SFC, not to mention BC. I don't even think this one's kitbashed.

P.S. Resistance is futile, eh?

Superb work dan! I do have one question... I noticed tthis model has blinkers while all the other cardie ships dont, is that intentional? Myself personally not a fan of blinkers but the ship is just too nice to pass up.

Yeah I used the stock hardpoints on this one since I already had it in my game, I deleted the blinker sprite entries a long time ago so I didn't notice they were there. If you like, you can send me your email address and I can send you a version of the .sod file without the blinkers.
