Skirmish Plus v0.3.4 WIP file

This is an early version of v.0.3.4. There were some things I wanted to change first before releasing it, but I left the game and I won't update this until I return. At least I want to share what I got. I can't remember if the GSM USA unit prices are correctly adjusted, keep that in mind when you play with them.

Skirmish Plus

This small mod allows you play the 3 original skirmish maps of each faction using all
multiplayer units, and with any faction as player and enemy. It was going to be included
in another mod I'm making which lets you create customizable single-player bot matches
in multiplayer maps, but I decided to realease it as a standalone mod.

Current features:

- Play as any faction in any supported map
- Fight against any enemy faction
- Use all multiplayer units
- Cold War mod support (WIP)
- German Soldiers Mod support (WIP)
- Supported maps: First 3 missions of each campaign (invasion)


Planned features:
- More enemy vehicle variety
- Enemy airstrikes
- Support for Defense and Infiltration missions


Important:

- Initial base defenders have been removed. This is to avoid mixing units from
different factions when you are not using the default one. I'll add them later. For
now, just call a homeguard squad and send them into the MGs and AA guns.

- The default hero units have been removed. You can buy them but they will spawn
as a normal unit (for example, USA paratroopers can't be dropped in the middle of the
battlefield). Capturing the first three flags now unlocks the Hero menu, where you
can buy special units and vehicles.

- Now all reinforcements share the same rally point. You can set the rally point for all
units by clicking on the flag.

- Medics are enabled by default, but they are not included in any squad. You have to
call them as a separate unit through the Specialized Infantry menu. Medics can be
deactivated by removing the (include "allow_medic.mi") line from 0.mi in each map folder.


Installation:

- Download the mod.
- Decompress it using winrar into the mods folder.
- Double click "Configuration.bat" to change the playing factions of each map.
- Start the game, go to "options / mods", select "Skirmish Plus" and press activate.
- Go to campaign and select the mission you want to play


Known Issues:
- All units have the same skin (no desert or snow variations)
- Flags don't change when you switch factions
- Configuration utility sucks. I'll make a better one later
- Possible balancing issues
