Torel for Armada 2

Cadet 2nd Year Joined: May 20, 2006 Posts: 38

I no longer can play Armada cause disc copy broke somehow and was wondering if anyone can or has uploaded Torel from Armada to a website to be downloaded? I ask because I am gathering and adding as many "Hero" ships to my Armada 2

What happened to the disk exactly? If it is only scratched, you can repair it. If that is not an option, see if you can personally obtain the disk from a friend so that you can make a copy (or virtual copy) to replace your broken disk. Discussing any means of obtaining a free/illegal copy is not permissible. However, I'm sure that you're already aware of the many options available for this route.

You don't need the disc to play Star Trek Armada I! I only borrowed it from a friend and I still can play it, just use your Star Trek Armada II disc. I was just playing Armada I and all I have in my PC's disc drive is the Armada II CD.

*****

But if you are really wanting a Torel Hero Ship in Armada II, I wanted one too, but I couldn't get Torel Voiceovers or find one any where that had voice overs, so I copied Martok's Hero Negh'var and made Torel's just by commenting out the sounds. Now I have Torel's ship in Armada II!

Its not fixible.

A few years ago I decided I wanted to play it after not playing it for 5 years. Found its case on my desk with my other games like Hexen, Doom 2, Unreal original release to Unreal Anthology, and my other Star Trek games, it somehow got a crack that ran half way through the disc from the hole in the middle. I have no idea how it got cracked but it wasnt cracked the last time I used it.

I was so pissed cause it was during a time I didnt have a computer strong enough to play Armada 2

By any chance, have you tried to play Armada I using your Armada II disc yet?
Before anything else, I strongly recommend that you try that since it works for myself when I play Armada I just fine. Very Happy

I would need to download Armada I or buy a completely new copy since my original disc is broken and probably still decomposing somewhere in the local landfill

Yes actually, that is exactly what I am saying. I have done it hundreds of times now and it always works. The reason I think it does is because it also has the same information that originally came with Armada I. Just check certain files and you'll find Armada I information there as well as Armada II! Especially the label.MAP file, this file lists both Armada I and Armada II mission names!

say you wanted to change the name from 'Torel' would you just change 'Torel' to whatever you wanted it to be?

You can make anything a Hero Ship (or a Hero Station) just change the units name for the part below that I have writen as: "WHAT EVER YOU WANT HERE"

Code:

//This ship is a hero.
isHero = 1

//Ship label provided because this is a unique ship.
label = "WHAT EVER YOU WANT HERE"

Code:

//SHIP NAMES
//Possible Craft Names
possibleCraftNames =
"WHAT EVER YOU WANT HERE"
