Normandy class Beta Mod
*****************************
Author: Tim "The Geek" Underbakke
Name of mod: Normandy class beta

Description: A new Section 31 ship for the Federation. This one also includes a special
weapon I have made (based on an old one, but enhanced) to prevent the Normandy from falling into the wrong hands
(figures, Section 31 alright.)

Build Time: too long to remember!!!

Materials used: Milkshape 3d, utmv (aka assimview), Adobe Photoshop (for the new textures), notepad, Armod 2

Go easy on me since this is my first ship!!

Installation Instructions
******************************
This is the best part. You have two options. You can A) run the autoinstaller
(which may or may not overwrite mods, depends on what you have. Recommended for those w/o
mods) or
B) Add the files manaully. (recommended for those with modified games)

If you opt for choice B, follow these directions:

1. copy fnormandy.odf to your odf/ships dir.
2. copy gnormwave.odf and normandywave.odf to your odf/special_weapons dir.
3. copy all tgas to the Textures/Rgb dir.
4. copy all sods to the Sod dir.
5. Add these lines to gui_global.spr

Add this next line under fed build buttons:

b_fnormandy gbfnormandy 0 0 64 64

Add this line under special weapon buttons:

b_gnormwave gbnormwave 0 0 64 64

Save and close gui_global

6. Open weapon.spr and add this segment under the new weapons segment:

@reference=32
@tmaterial=additive

# Normandy special weapon wave texture
normwave wnormwave 0 0 32 32
Save and close weapon.spr

7. Open fyard.odf and add this to the build list:

buildItemX = "fnormandy"

where X = your last build Item number + 1
Save and close.

8. Open up whatever tech trees you want this to work in and add these lines:

Under fed ships, add:

fnormandy.odf 2 fyard.odf fresear.odf
