Fixes/Additions in 0.191 (March 26, 2004) [Internal Release]:
-Added new mission briefing info on level loading screens.
-Fixed bug where apc cargo crate wouldn't disappear after being picked up by a dropship.

Fixes/Additions in 0.19 (March 15, 2004) [Internal Release]:
-Lowered center of gravity for KAT and APC vehicles.
-Increased turning radius of APC.
-Added ability for dropship to pick up cargo crates containing vehicles and spawn that vehicle elsewhere. The secondary fire button will pick up the cargo crate when close to it. The "deploy cargo" icon will appear if it has been picked up. Land the dropship anywhere else, and press seconardy fire again to spawn that vehicle behind you.
-Placing a vehicle build crate down from the commander's factory menu within close proximity to the aircraft factory will spawn a cargo crate of that vehicle instead of the actual vehicle. A dropship is then required to pick it up and turn it into the final vehicle using its new cargo transport ability.
-Added ability for already built vehicles to use pitch up (default is the up arrow) to turn itself into a cargo crate. This ability is only available when the vehicle is at full health and a dropship which is not currently carrying a vehicle is within 50 units. Its health will then drop down to zero, destroying itself and leaving a cargo crate in its place. 10 seconds will be given to exit the vehicles, and a vocal warning of "bail out" will be given. The pitch up key must be held for 4-8 seconds. This cannot be done within 50 units of any other cargo crate.
-Made commander's view become clouded when looking at enemy vehicles and buildings that were not close to friendly vehicles and buildings. Friendly vehicles, buildings, and infantry that are nearby will disable enemy buildings and vehicles from clouding the commander tank up to five seconds after they've left the area. Enemy aircraft will not cloud the commander camera.

Fixes/Additions in 0.11 (Jan 15, 2004) [Public Release]:

-Increased entry radius for getting into the engineer turret.

-Added vehicle factory model and icon.
-Removed the dropship's ability to have vehicles attached to it. Instead, the dropship has a build crate attached to it at start. The dropship can fly off somewhere, press alternate fire to drop the crate, and then the commander can build a vehicle using the factory menu next to it as if it were a vehicle factory. After one vehicle is created, the crate disappears. The dropship must go back to the aircraft factory to pick up another crate to be able to drop another one.

-Artillery = final
-Anti-Air = final
Aircraft
-all aircraft = temporary models/skins
-Fixed bug causing resources to rollover from 99 to 0 instead of 100. It still rolls over from 999 to 900, but I don't know if I should bother fixing that.
-Implemented the command menu. Commander can use it to place waypoints. Unfortuneately, these waypoints can be seen by the other team.
-Fixed bug with medic's droppable healthkit and engy's droppable ammo not becoming enabled again after one use.

-Fixed resource point so that its model doesn't cut off above ground.
-Implemented supply bunker model for the vehicle and aircraft factories until models for both are finalized.

They still need work. The anti-vehicle turret works to some degree. The anti-air turret barely works.
-Added homing missile to anti-tank infantry's bazooka that homes on vehicles.
-Made command tank camera's minimap icon visible across whole map.
-Added end of game when command tank is destroyed. When it dies, the team it belonged to loses all their tickets. Unfortunately, the game crashes
when the server tries to restart the level/go to the next level.
-Added healing aura to medic. This slowly heals surrounding soldiers and the medic.
-Added repairing aura to engineer. This slowly repairs surrounding vehicles.
-Made engineer have to wait 30 secs after building an ammo crate before being able to build another.
-Adjusted aircraft entry positions.
-Added satchel charges as everyone's #2 weapon. Ammo is given out by enemy buildings due to their purpose being solely for destroying enemy buildings.
-Reorganized engineer's build menu into the following:
-build straight sandbag
-build corner sandbag
-build half-circle shaped sandbag
-build turret
-drop ammo crate
-disassemble nearby built object
-Added build menu to medic:
-deploy health kit: deploys temporary health kit which heals everyone in the local area for 15 secs, limited to deploying one every 30 secs
-deploy med flag: deploys red cross flag to show players where they can find a medic, disappears when medic leaves area
-Added scout's disguise menu which drops a fake object which can be entered like a normal vehicle to disguise up to 6 players; the menu consists of the following:
-drop rock disguise
-drop bush disguise
-drop tree disguise
-Replaced the tank treads appearing where a building was going to be built with a temporary construction model. Also, fixed construction buildings
trouble with not building due to not spawning perfectly level.
-Added supply bunker's ability to purchase weapons. However, new weapons aren't implemented yet. Currently, only useful for switching classes.

Fixes/Additions in 0.031 (April 2003) [Internal Release]:
-Fixed missing template from aircraft factory which caused a crash.


Fixes/Additions in 0.03 (April 2003) [Internal Release]:
-Vehicle factory icons for selecting the vehicle to build now show up correctly.
-Commander build menu now appears the correct distance from the camera. This means pointing at the building icon and clicking will now work as it should (like in single player).
-Pressing "1" to go to the first position in the aircraft, vehicle factories, or the radar building will not crash the game now. Thanks Tom Hunt.
-Gave almost all objects their own network info.
-Fixed where building a refinery would sometimes build a spawn bunker instead.
-Made commander unable to build any other building besides the refinery on a resource point.
-Made commander unable to build on top of a vehicle or building regardless of what team it belongs to. Thanks Mr. Chimp.
-Changed the way resources are deducted when a building is built in the possibility that is was causing crashes.
-Gave the command tank more HP.
-The aircraft factory now must be repaired to 100% by an engineer before it will operate. It first spawns as a destroyed bunker in its "construction" phase and then appears as the normal bunker when repaired. This is how all buildings will be eventually.


Fixes/Additions in 0.02 (March 2003) [Internal Release]:
-Fixed crash when someone joined a server in progress due to homing rocket bug.
