well when you goto build a borg cube, you have 6 upgradable slots to choose from.
i would like to add 4 more slots making it 10 available slots total for a borg cube.
i need to know the name of the odf files to alter.there are alot of borg odf files having to do with cubes.
im no novice on modding i can pretty much do anything with basic armada 2.well off to work.

Well, If I understand the prcess correctally, that would require a tone of work.  I mean I can't even think how many odf's woud be required to to do that.

Timing isn't everything. But it almost is.

I think there's only 30-50 permutations for the Cube, because most of them can only be done once or twice, which cuts down the number a lot.  So as long as your extra modules can only be installed once per cube, it wouldn't be as big a deal.  You're still talking about almost doubling the number of odfs for the cube, even with restricting how many times they can be installed.

Basically, to answer your question, each cube odf is one of the combinations possible, so if you really wanted, you could make a table with all the possible combinations of what you want to add, and then write 1 odf for each one, plus the weapon odfs of course.  Adm Z's right.  That's going to be a lot of work.

Kemmer:  Very well, then. I request that you open a channel to Earthdome.
Ivanova:  Request denied. Have a nice day.

I also think you would have to edit the borgs gui module interface as well.

Not to mentine 5 odfs for each cube combination.  Or do the borg have experance?  I can't rember right now.
