Wreckers v2

Description
Enjoy!
The following is largely from the Readme written by ssuser:

This is a rebuild of the IA map "Wreckers". The original has been popular under Rebellion's Battlezone Redux but it has a lot of problems and bugs under both that game version and under the 1.5 patch.

Most annoying was that you could not have 10 turrets in your defensive slots, because of outdated ODF scripting trickery. Also missing models in Redux and AIP issues were problems. This should be taken care of now.

Changes: everything the player has is Black Dog now - silos, gun towers, etc.

LUA scripting moderates AI attacks (be warned, it is still brutal) and allows for more special attacks, including day wrecker attacks. Modded some AI units' weapons, added MORE special attacks than before.

Scripting now controls voice-overs, of which there are many. You must also bring the relic back to your base now, and the CCA will fight you for it. Never let your guard down on this level, even after you destroy the CCA base.

You can lose by letting the CCA steal the relic and take it away, by letting the relic be destroyed, or by allowing both your Recycler and Factory be destroyed. You win by wiping out the CCA base and bringing the relic back to yours.

There are no custom models now, but LOTS of ODFs that will have to ported using the correct Redux ODFs. if you want to do a port, do this carefully... (Indeed... this one was more difficult to port than most things I've done.)

STORY:

The CCA has been using a much more powerful Day Wrecker against us recently. Our intelligence sources have tracked the origin of these weapons to a region on Mars, and we believe the CCA has a relic that taught them how to build these weapons, as well as a large base for producing them.

We have re-activated an old base nearby, named Hellas Base, and we will use this as a stepping off point for our campaign against the CCA and their new Day Wrecker, which is also known as the "Devastator".

A Recycler sent to Hellas Base was ambushed and the commander killed, so we are sending YOU in with a very special factory, the BD-X9 factory. This factory can build scavengers and Recyclers. We hope the CCA will pay less attention to an MUF signature than a Recycler signature, and thus let you get to Hellas Base without too much resistance. Once you are there you can build a Recycler in situ, when you have enough scrap. The X9 Recycler can also replace the X9 factory in turn, if needed. It also builds a very tough turret, which you will definitely need, if reports coming in from the base are accurate.

You can expect much resistance from the CCA, including attacks using the Devastator-class Day Wrecker. These cause extreme damage to a base if allowed to land, so try to ward them off whenever possible.

Your orders: Escort the X9 factory to Hellas Base, and build up the defenses. Crush the CCA, destroy all their production units, find the Devastator relic, and bring it back to Hellas Base. Do NOT let the CCA make off with that relic, Commander, it is simply too important to let go.

CREDITS: Bzfrac used to build the original map. Janne helped with lua issues, as usual.

MAY OR MAY NOT FEATURE FLOATING TUGS

Even the poorly-ported original doesn't fail that badly ... main issue was the lack of LUA and the fact that it often crashed when loading a save file.
This one is completely redone ... like almost entirely.

One version that popped up crashed super bad, is that fixed in this one?
