Phoenix's Map Making Extension 1.0
posted on May 17th, 2010, 7:25 pm
Description
This mod adds a few new map editing functions for aspiring map makers and provides a standardised "package" for people to download and keep track of all changes, added by myself; Phoenix, to their game (related to Map Making), and thus, reduce the risk of online incompatability.
Features of this mod
1. No Stars odf file - for map makers to add an eerie sense of "emptiness" to their maps.
2. Extra small "Block" trigger - adds a new block trigger which is 1/4 the size of the default one; allowing for more intricate map making.
Installation
1. Download the mod: http://phoenix-d.webs.com/Mods/PMME/Phoenix%27s%20Map%20Making%20Extension%201.0.rar
2. Extract files to "Star Trek Armada II Fleet Operations" Folder.
3. Find "edit_trigger" file in the "ODF" folder
a. Modify the build list to include the small block trigger, as follows:
item1 = "trigger_blocking.odf"
item2 = "trigger_blocking_sml.odf"
item3 = "trigger_derelictcreation.odf"
4. Save and close the "edit_trigger" file.

Nice, but sadly not everyone who plays online visit FO.net
A new sized blocking trigger and a no stars odf would be most appreciated though for 3.1.3 (what was that about The Old Man's map though - didn't that work, as it worked for me in 3.0PR).

Aye my version of The Void works without the actual odf file being present, just like The Old Man's. As such, I removed the odf from The Void 1.3 (which now makes The Void just as compatible with online mode as any other map) and included it in this map making pack, to assist map makers who wish to use the file
.
I'm hoping the new 1/4 blocking trigger takes off with map makers, as I think it'll open up the possibilities a bit and hopefully we can get even more maps ready for 3.1.3

I have made it a requirement to install this extension with The Void so hopefully noone should be using The Void without the proper void odf
