BLUFOR: Global Defense Initiative:
Elite Forces Unit: Special Operations:

-GDI Special Operations Combat Medic with custom backpack loaded with medical supplies added.


BLUFOR: Allies:

-Allies Rifleman is now equipped with a Watch.

-Machine Gunner with custom backpack added.

-Grenadier added. This soldier is equipped with a rifle and an underbarrel grenader launcher. For the Allies, this weapon configuration was visible in the Allies finale cutscene: a soldier was equipped with an M-16 with an M203 40mm Grenade Launcher and a 30-round magazine.


OPFOR: Brotherhood of Nod:

-Black Hand Flag asset file name changed from "BlackHand" to "BlackHandEliteFlag."

OPFOR: Soviets:

-"Soviet Rifleman" name and macro renamed to "Soviets Rifleman."

-Soviets Rifleman is now equipped with a Watch.

-Soviets Machine Gunner with custom backpack added.

-Grenadier added. As a result of the Allies Grenadier, the Soviets are being given an AK-47 with a GP-25 40mm Grenade Launcher for the sake of balance since in Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Soviet Grenadiers used only hand-thrown grenades.

-historical "Soviet Flag" now redesignated as "Soviet Union Flag."


INFOR: CABAL Forces:

-CABAL flag and map marker added. Vehicle and Faction class denoting CABAL forces has been added in hopes of theorizing future content.


Mod:

-GDI and Nod flags from Tiberian Sun added as map markers.

-Tiberian Sun (white background) and Tiberian Sun Firestorm (black and white backgrounds) flags added.

-based on research into in-game cutscenes GDI and Nod "TS2" flag symbols (which were confined more closely to the center of the flag without being stretched) have been removed for consistency's sake. Original symbols preserved. These files have been preserved outside the mod regardless. The reason for this is due to the existence of the Tiberian Sun Nod battle victory cutscene which depicts a Nod flag of the respective symbol stretched more closely to the banner edges.

-GDI (TWI), Nod (TWI), Black Hand, Allies, and Soviets patch quality improved.

-all acronyms for First Tiberium War (Tiberian Dawn) and Second Tiberium War (Tiberian Sun) are now referred to as "TW I" and "TW II" respectively.

BLUFOR: Global Defense Initiative:

-GDI patch based on Tiberian Sun logo added and named "Global Defense Initiative (TWII)." Original patch from Tiberian Dawn renamed with "(TWI)" suffix.

-Nod flag from Tiberian Sun added. Original flag renamed "Brotherhood of Nod Flag (TWI)," with new Tiberian Sun-based flag named "Brotherhood of Nod Flag (TWII)."

-Nod logo from Tiberian Sun added in 2 versions as flags. I am considering removing one for consistency's sake.

Elite Forces Unit: Special Operations:

-GDI Special Operations Team Leader, Rifleman, Automatic Rifleman, and Rocket Soldier class designation, macro, and preview image now incorporate EFUSO designation to identify these soldiers as belonging to the Elite Forces Unit, the former organization consisting of Airborne Rangers, commandos, and Special Operations personnel in the early First Tiberium War.

-GDI Special Operations Rocket Soldier added (uses Special Operations Rifleman loadout with the addition of the CUP M-136 AT-4 single-use rocket launcher).


Mod:

-the syntax "scopeCurator = 2; // Available in Zeus." has been added to all object entries in hopes of making them usable in the Zeus curator system (as I have just discovered, this does not yet appear to be the case - I am working on fixing this).

-Move map marker based on Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn Move command has been added and classified under Flags (attempts to install them as Standard Military iconography failed to apply proper colors).

-Attack map marker based on Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn Attack command has been added in 2 versions and classified under Flags (attempts to install them as Standard Military iconography failed to apply proper colors) - need to improve quality.

BLUFOR: Global Defense Initiative:
Elite Forces Unit: Special Operations:

-GDI Special Operations Automatic Rifleman now has a machine gunner's icon in the Forces overview.

-Note: CUP's M4A1 failed to spawn with attachments fixed. This has been reported to the CUP troubleshooting team. Red Hammer Studios's M-4 is now the choice rifle for GDI Special Operations personnel at this time (Turns out, this was because CUP renamed all of the weapon attachment slots' default names to incorporate the weapon name itself).

-GDI "Elite Forces Unit: Special Operations" faction class created (but is not differentiating Special Operations personnel in the Force overview-they still spawn however. I will work on figuring out why this is happening).

-GDI Elite Forces Unit and Special Operations flags (in 2 versions) added (logos based off of historical U.S. Army Delta Force and popularized concept of Delta Forces logo - credit for imagery: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/610928-delta-force-vintage-insignia and https://grabcad.com/library/delta-force-logo-1.
