Free ships and instant building:
--------------------------------
Go into the folder you installed amarda 2 into then go to folder odf
and then go into ships you will see a lot of files concerning ships data.
[back up all files you change first]
1.Open a file with write or word, and go to line that says 'dilithiam cost'
and change the number to 0, do the same to 'build time' and 'metal cost'.
2.Do this to all the files you want to in the race you are playing eg,
fed/borg/... then load the game and start building for free.
You can also do this to the stations.
Add Dilithium:
--------------
Hit [ENTER] to bring up the comm screen, then type "showmethemoney" to add
2000 dilithium.
Cheat Method:
-------------
Open the RTS_CFG.H file. Go to the line under difficulty settings and modify
the line to says what you want.
// // DIFFICULTY SETTINGS // // Damage coefficients for
incoming damage for user in single player float
EASY_DAMAGE = 0.5; float HARD_DAMAGE = 2.0;
If you set it to 0 your ships will not be damaged. However some nebulas still
damage the ships if you leave them in it to long.
NOTE: Always make a backup before editing files.
Increase Officers:
------------------
To increase the amount of officers just change the following line in the RTS_CFG.h
file for Armada II from 600 to 999.
// the max value that officer capacity can be in a single player game, and default
in multiplayer game. int SINGLE_PLAYER_OFFICER_LIMIT = 600;
Hint:
-----
You can open the mission files in the bzn folder by using the editor on the Armada
II disk, right click on any mission you want to edit and go to properties and take
off the "read only" tick and you can then edit and save the missions in the game,
for instance; on the last mission with the Borg put starbases a fair distance away
and around the fluidic gate and you will be able to build your base up with no
problems at all.
Build a Fusion Cube:
--------------------
Set the "byard2" file in the "\activision\star trek armada ii\odf\stations\byard2"
folder as archive. Use a text editor to edit the "byard2" file.
Scroll down to the section:
buildItem0 = "bfrigate"
buildItem1 = "bbattle1"
buildItem2 = "bspecial"
buildItem3 = "bbattle2"
Underneath "builditem3" put the lines
buildItem4 = "bbattle3"
builditem5 = "bbattle4"
In single player mode, you can not use it until the level "Rifts",when you
build the Technology Node and research the Collective Hub. You can however
use it in Instant Action and Multi-player modes by doing the same thing
(constructing the Technology Node and researching the Collective Hub).
More officers:
--------------
Note: You may need to toggle off the "Read Only" file attribute first. Use a text
editor to edit the "rts_cfg.h" file in the game directory. Change the value for
the following line to "999" so it resembles:
// the max value that officer capacity can be in a single player game, and
default in multiplayer game. Int
SINGLE_PLAYER_OFFICER_LIMIT = 999;
Faster crew production:
-----------------------
Use a text editor to edit the "fed.odf" file in the "\armada2\odf\other" directory.
Locate the following section:
//number of crew added to the team per second per starbase
//also used as base for planetary civilian rate
crewAccumulationRate = 4.0
Change the value to "500" for very fast crew production.
Invincibility:
--------------
Note: You may need to toggle off the "Read Only" file attribute first. Use a text
editor to edit the "rts_cfg.h" file in the game directory. Change the values for
the following lines to "0.0" so they resemble:
float EASY_DAMAGE = 0.0;
float HARD_DAMAGE = 0.0;
Begin game play under the easy or hard difficulty setting to have shields that
cannot be harmed by normal weapons.
Better transporters:
--------------------
Note: You may need to toggle off the "Read Only" file attribute first. Use a text
editor to edit the "rts_cfg.h" file in the game directory. Change the value in the
"TRANSPORTER_MAX = 5" line to a higher number to transport more people.
Better sensor arrays:
---------------------
Note: You may need to toggle off the "Read Only" file attribute first. Use a text
editor to edit the "fsensor.odf" (for the Federation), "ksensor.odf" (for the Klingons),
or "bsensor.odf" (for The Borg) file in the "odf\stations" folder in the game directory.
Change the value of the "rangeScan =" to "32000.0f".
Better resources:
-----------------
Use a text editor to edit the "rts_cfg.h" file in the game directory. Note: You may
need to toggle off the "Read Only" file attribute first.
Change the following settings under the "// resource gathering parameters" to
change the corresponding resource.
Edit the "int cfgMaxDilithium" value to change the maximum amount Dilithium that
can be mined.
Edit the "int cfgMaxOfficers" value to change the maximum amount of officers.
Edit the "int cfgMaxCrew" value to change the maximum number of crew members.
Edit the "int cfgStartingDilithium" to change the initial amount of Dilithium available.
Edit the "int cfgStartingCrew" to change the initial number of crew members.
All campaigns:
--------------
Note: You may need to toggle off the "Read Only" file attribute first. Use a text
editor to edit the "art_cfg.h" file in the game directory.
Change the "0" in the "GIVE_ALL_MISSIONS" line to "1".
Edit ship settings:
-------------------
Look in the "\star trek - armada 2\odf\" folder to find folders named "ship",
"weapons", "station", and more. Select one and use a text editor to
change the values of the ships, bases, weapons, etc. For example, edit the "battle.odf"
file in the "\star trek - armada 2\odf\ships" folder to change the values of the
Sovereign Class ship (metal cost; number of officers; amount of time to build, etc.)
Lifelines mission:
------------------
In re-supplying the base at Alpha Theta VI with 1,500 Metal, 1,500 Dilithium and 1,500
Latinum, you can also build only one freighter to send it off with 500 units
of Metal, Dilithium, or Latinum. Once it has arrived and is unloading, keep a watch
on it. If it starts to reload at Alpha Theta VI with whatever goods it usually ships,
tell it to load metal. It will take the shipment at the station itself. Unload at the
same station and you will have given another 500 metal to Alpha
then press [Enter].
