Updates: New & Improved Structures Part 9 news - C&C Generals Zero Hour: Enhanced mod for C&C: Generals Zero Hour

We've now reached the end of NATO remastered buildings series.

This time featuring Company of Generals style buildings including but not limited to all new totally ORIGINAL NEVER DONE BEFORE machine gun emplacement and light field howitzer emplacement designs that you surely haven't seen before in this lifetime or another.

Apart from that, this update includes the only remaining building from vZH, the Particle Cannon and mostly new Patriot NASAMS battery.

Now you might thinking to yourself "bUt I lOvEd ThE pIlLbOxEs." Sadly, Hunter's Pillbox has to go because #NotLikeOtherMods, it's not like I wanna use your stuff, baka, but more seriously, I'm completing my original plan to replace vanilla/lent/placeholder stuff. I also have other plans in the future concerning defense stuff so it's according to keikaku.

To begin with, reworked Particle Uplink Cannon saw minimal update like rounder-shiny dome structure, shiny roofs and radar dishes, rounder fans and 3D doors. The important concept to grasp here that it's more shiny and rounder.

As for the M240 MG Emplacement, it serves as early rudimentary, inexpensive defense against early enemy infantry/light vehicle rushes. The catch here is that it works like CoH's MG defense in that it has limited firing arc meaning that a well maneuvered assault could bypass or outright destroy the emplacement. Visually speaking, it features animated tarp, better black hole fading and radius decal texture to indicate its firing arc when placing or ordered to show. Is that awesome?! Plz guys, I need reassurance *distant sobs*

Speaking of M119 LFH Emplacement, on the other hand, it works like the previous update Strategy Center Bombardment Battle Plan howitzer in that it no longer automatically attack enemy and you would need to order them to specifically fire somewhere. Visually, it also features animated tarps, actual howitzer and crews from the previous update and more importantly, a lot of BARRELS. It can no longer garrison infantry. Controversial change, I know, you can cope about it, just like everything else in this mod. I swear it's not a total conversion! It's just a graphicz mode!

Lastly, on the more non-controversial side, we have the Patriot NASAMS battery. Why? You may ask. As you may or may not know, Patriot is actually a long range anti-air system while NASAMS is medium-short range. However, in vZH, it serves more as medium-short range than long range. So to maintain the balance of gameplay, Patriot will now be a entirely separate long-range anti-air unit while the vZH Patriot is replaced by NASAMS battery, maintaining closely to its original role. The actual scale of both things also fits more nicely (Patriot is kinda large irl.) Visually, NASAMS functions mostly like ZHE Patriot with animated barrel doors with all new turret and some clutter textures.

That concludes my inner introvert Youtuber non-sense speech, thanks for tuning in. Stay tune for in-game screenshots soon.
