C&C95 project "v1.06" Changelog, by Nyerguds


External addons:
-Scorpio9a's LAN patch (thipx32.dll)
-Funpark launcher program (funpark.bat) for playing the dinosaur missions

Code upgrades:
-VK's 1.05 patch (fixes top-of-map reconnaissance crash, adds native XP compatibility)
-Komfr's stealth crash fix (fixes a crash when the stealth animation is played on the right half of the bottom edge of the screen)
-Fixed the "/?" help parameter
-Fixed the empty error box when the game fails to set the video mode (which can happens when setting the game to 640x400)
-High resolution available, with centered menus and a large version of the title screen for a more finished look
-LAN play expanded to six players
-Chan's name is shown (it now shows "Scientist" instead of "Civilian")
-The Hospital's name is now always visible to the player, even if it is owned by the enemy
-The Hospital can no longer be sold. It wasn't sellable in the original C&C; this was a bug in C&C95
-A primary building can be selected for helipads, so people can prevent newly built helicopters from flying to their base from the edge of the map.
-Civilian buildings no longer decay for no reason
-Fixed the Rocket Launcher graphics bleed
-Fixed a Chem Warrior behaviour bug; for some reason it had the civilian panic behaviour
-(unnoticeable) Added black tiles for fixing map borders in hi-res
-The missions in the New Missions menu can now be played with any C&C CD
-Added "update*.mix" reading for future patches (same as "sc*.mix" addons)
-Added "updatr*.mix" reading system which disables the read files in the game instead of adding them (same as "ss*.mix" addons).
-Made Advanced options (the "hidden beta options") editable in conquer.ini

Graphics updates:
-Shadow of the Construction Yard fixed, so it remains like it is at the end of the MCV deploy animation
-The Rocket Launcher now has its launcher aimed 45 degrees up, as it should
-Nod logo restored on the Hand of Nod
-Several buildings which showed side-sensitive colour instead of real yellow are now fixed:
 * Civilian Oil Derrick (V19)
 * Advanced Communications Center
 * Tiberium Silo
 * Barracks
-Fixed green line refresh error on top sidebar icons
-Ion cannon icon rotated so the satellite fires from the correct side.
-Fixed Civilian Oil Pump building (ARCO) to fix the bug where the damaged state doesn't show up.

String updates:
-Changed "Med. Tank" to "Medium Tank"
-Changed "Attack Helicopter" to "Apache"
-Changed "Transport helicopter" to "Chinook Transport"
-Changed "Stegasaurus" to "Stegosaurus"
-Changed MCV from "Mobile Construction Yard" to "Mobile Construction Vehicle"
-Changed "Obelisk Guard Tower" to "Obelisk of Light"
-Changed "Dr. Chan" to "Scientist", because the unit can spawn from a destroyed tech center. Chan's original name was never visible anyway
-Added Frank Klepacki's original track names to the music list

Mission updates:
-Added the Covert Operations missions
-Added the updated dinosaur missions included in the Covert Operations pack
-Edited the maps of all missions where you could see beyond the map border in 1024x768 so they show black outside the border instead of unreachable terrain.
-Fixed some mission files that didn't play their videos due to mistyped video names.
-scg05ea: re-enabled the Ukraine mission, which was replaced by a duplicate of one of the choices from Germany.
-scg08eb (Moebius hospital mission): removed the blossom tree in the village so the "lose when ## civilians are killed" trigger is less random.
-scb08ea (capture abandoned GDI base): Moved the build location of the refinery to a place where the AI can build it.
-scb10ea (destroy mammoth prototypes): fixed map error near start location.
-scb13ea (Nod end mission): fixed a trigger setup that could crash the game.

Sound updates:
-"Right Away!" infantry response fixed; was not played due to a mistyped string
-Grenade throw sound restored
-Added the remixes (Advanced options, "Scores") of the tracks No Mercy and Deception (aka "We Will Stop Them") from the console versions of C&C.
-Added the beta sounds (which can be enabled in the [Advanced] options)
-Enabled all hidden music (note that some tracks are only available because of the [Advanced] option "Scores", and will disappear if you disable that)


TODO:
-Expand Covert Operations list to accept mission numbers up to 999 for each side
[IMPOSSIBLE - mission number is stored in a single byte. Max. is 127]


Possible additional changes:

simple:
-Add N64 and PSX missions (May be better to leave this optional)
-Enable burning tree sound (not sure - might just annoy people)

Requires some research:
-add multiple language support in one exe

Requires a lot of research (may not be possible):
-Remove "S" exception for defense buildings (not sure - this was done to prevent a cheat)
-find solution for Discovered trigger crash (using the scb13ea.ini hotfix for now)

Requires lots of work:
-Remake all unit type init functions, so all units become 100% editable.
 + Make a new editor to edit these new sections

Requires lots of work and research:
-implement rules.ini reading instead of remaking the unit type functions
