I've always loved K7As retexture of the Romulan Shadow Class, the only thing it suffered from was the fact that it was a retexture of a very low poly stock model, so here I've tried to change that. I've increased the detail of the stock Shadow model, increasing the poly count in certain areas to make it look more detailed. I've also altered K7As textures to make them match the darker green Romulan ships available.

This will act as a replacement for your Shadow Class (rspecial).

Included in this mod are:

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

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

Installation Instructions:

1. Place "rspecial.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 "rspecial.odf" into the Activision/Star Trek Armada II/odf/ships folder.
4. Place the bitmap 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:

"Romulan Wireframes"

and delete the entry for rspecial

now find where it says:

"@reference=64
@tmaterial=interface"

(if this reference isn't in your Romulan Wireframes section you'll need to add it at the end of the section).

and add:

romulan_shadoww1	WFromulan_shadow	0	0	64	64
romulan_shadoww2	WFromulan_shadow	0	0	64	64
romulan_shadoww3	WFromulan_shadow	0	0	64	64
romulan_shadoww4	WFromulan_shadow	0	0	64	64
romulan_shadoww5	WFromulan_shadow	0	0	64	64

Save and close the file.
