Star Trek: Armada III begins with the first stirrings of the Dominion War and allows players to take command of five unique factions, the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, the Cardassian Union/Dominion Alliance, and the Borg Collective. Explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no one has gone before.
This file contains an icon replacer, so players can enjoy the more traditional empire window icons for all factions, working in both Nemesis and TFF. To Install it, unzip it into your mods folder like you have so many others - select yes to overwrite.
Sweet!
any word about updating the 2nd dreadnought addon?
Much like this one, our team didnt produce that addon. If the community member wants to send me a new version ill happily upload it.
I would love to have one of each. Not 2 of the same titan ship.
Thanks for doing this, Bruce! I know what's involved and it definitely takes time.
That image is some grade A meme-ing right there.
ITHANKYAW
*Takes a bow*
Thanks Bruce :)
Thank-you! My eyes were going nuts with the tiny squares doing lord knows what instead of being able to grab the ship I wanted... Lol!!
Yup, I'm liking it! (changed my screen name).
I made a mistake and included the wrong readme. It should read as follows:
IconReplacer - An addon for Star Trek Armada 3 The Final Frontier 1.1 and Nemesis
First, many thanks to the Stellar Parallax team for all of their passion and hard work creating an OUTSTANDING game. Star Trek Armada 3 is easily the best Star Trek game that I have ever seen, and I've enjoyed watching it evolve into its current form.
Though I'm not wild about the anonymised icons in the empire tree. For me, if feels more like Star Trek with the iconic (pun intended) ship images.
Hence, this IconReplacer addon, which was inspired by and is based on the icon replacement addon originally published by Gul-Dukat.
The same hud and infocard icons from the original addon are restored, a few that were missed have been included, some new icons have been added for new ships, and some pixel box issues have been cleaned up. There's even one special icon that was influenced by one of Corey's (CoreyLoses) mods, with his permission of course.
If I've missed something or made some kind of glaring mistake, please post a comment on ModDB. If necessary, I will release an update. Plus, this is the first mod work that I've done, so any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
Thank you for this.
It's definitely a lot better and easier to do everything with the replacer.
In reflection to my previous comment......
.....I left it before I actually tried the addon. Not what I would usually do. Unfortunately activating the addon crashed the loading of the game and didn't work. When activating, I do that outside the game, with notepad (same as all Mods).
Any ideas?
What does your EnableMods.txt look like?
The same as the included file.

Ok I do change the names to suit myself, but everything always still works the same for all Mods I do that to.
Troubleshooting 101 - try it with the original folder name to see if that solves the problem.
You claim that spaces aren't a problem, but I couldn't tell you off the top of my head whether the & in the name would cause a problem or if you have a spelling mistake of some kind.
Let us know
Ok, I changed everything back to the original names and removed all spaces. Same result applies. Mod won't work for me.
Guess I'm stuck with not having icons.
Then something else is going on. It's working for other people.
There isn't any chance you have an extra level in the sub-mod folder, is there? Something like this?:
STA3_Addon_IconReplacer\STA3_Addon_IconReplacer\...
Thanks bruce! Im really glad to have ship icons back instead of diamonds! It was driving me crazy to zoom out and only see diamonds.
How did you get it to work then?
As you can see from my comment, using the addon crashed the whole game.
Can I use this for uprising? I just got a minidump.
