------------------------------
Special notes:
By default, the fidget animation is not used.  Read the following for more info on this unit.

The unit includes a few optional animations.
Since this is a space vehicle and can be used as either a air, ground or sea vehicle depending on how you, the mod-maker, wish to implement space travel, I included a victory for all of them.
For an Air unit use the default JSF_BOMB_Victory.flc, this is a bombing run, which is what airplanes must use for the victory animation.  For a ground or sea unit use JSF_VICTORY.FLC.  This animation is a barrel-roll; some might find this level of animation excessive for a fidget, but I kinda like it.

The INI comes set up for using this as an air unit.
The "default" has some movement.  If you are using a low-speed computer, you might want to replace the JSF_FIDGET.flc with the JSF_Default.flc  The default is static (no animation).  Similarly, if you are using this unit as a ground or sea unit, you will need to replace the bombing animation and sound in the ini with the more generic victory (the barrel roll).


------------------------------
City View icons:

add the JAF_units_32.pcx to your \Civilization III\Conquests\Art\Units\units_32.pcx  file.

------------------------------
------------------------------
Civilopedia Icons:

Copy the JSF_*.pcx icons to 
\Civilization III\Conquests\Art\Civilopedia\Icons\Units

------------------------------

PediaIcons.txt
See the contents of JSF_add_to_game.txt
------------------------------

Civilopedia.txt
See the contents of JSF_add_to_game.txt

------------------------------
Animation files:
Make directory for the animation files.
For example
 \Civilization III\Conquests\Art\Units\JSF

Copy the animation files *.flc to this directory
Also copy JSF.ini and the sound files *.wav.

Please note that the directory must be the same name as the ini file.  So if you choose to make a directory called delta7 , rename the ini file to delta7.ini


------------------------------
Finally open your Civ3 editor and add the unit to the game.  I suggest this unit be available either with hyperdrive, or some similar late game technology.
