Prometheus Class, V1.1

**This update includes completely fixed ODFs and properly lighted SODs, as well as some small texture tweaks. It should now work perfectly using the extract and play methood. Also, high res textures are not included in this update since the low res ones are smaller and that there's not that much noticable diffrence between the two while in game. Details for obtaining high res textures can be found within the install directions.
I also greatly apologize for any inconvenience or frustrations this brought.**

The Prometheus class is one of the most well known ships from Star Trek, mainly from a new take on Starship Seperation; the Multi Vector Assault Mode. Dispite it's fame, this ship is a rather elusive one in Armada II, especially with MVAM support. While there is a version of the Prommie originally created by Deemon/Gonwee, time had not faired well with it.

So here I present a new Prometheus class model with MVAM support, as well as several diffrent textures to choose from. I admit that while I tried to get it as close to the cannon design, it's not perfect. But it is of good quallity, and it brings a bit of Diversity for the class.

Please note though, that the PP 1.2.5 patch is requred for MVAM support.

1 - Installation


Within the zip file you will find a directory for the core files, as well as a directory for alternate borg textures. By default, the Prometheus uses non-green borg textures, and all texture files are at a 512 by 512 resolution. If you wish to use higher resolution textures, you MUST install the files in the Prometheus_Files directory FIRST! Then download the first release of the Prometheus (V1.0, link below) and extract the Prometheus_Files/textures/rgb directory into your Armada II directory. The Version 1.0 Prometheus can be found at;
http://armada2.filefront.com/file/Prometheus_class;97029

To install, extract the contents of the Prometheus_Files into your Armada II directory.

Afterwards, you can extract the files of the GreenBorg_Textures to the same directory if you're green with envy for the Borg.

"It's not my fault!"
"Then who's fault was it, the torpedo's?!"
