2142_SP
=======
Started by Andy, currently updated by Dnamro

Allows better coop and sp gameplay in larger map areas with more BF2142 sp/coop maps supported than the stock game. Custom kits allows the use of more weapons and abilities without restrictions with BF2142 version 1.4 or 1.5. Bot's can use a much larger variety of weapons over the basic game. Includes mod customizer script to enable/disable automatic vehicle gunner positions and commander strikes.

=========================
Mod Customizer script
=========================

in the 2142_sp mod there is a script file called 2142 SP customizer.bat. Run this program to customize the mod. It uses the free included 7za zipping tool.

The first choice is to enable/disable Automated vehicle Gunner positions. There is a BF2142 bug in that the automated vehicle gunner positions can not be taken over. So, if you like using the vehicle gunner position, then leave it disabled by default. If you want an insane experience with the help of an automatic vehicle gunner without having to wait for a bot, (especially helpful in aircraft), then activate it. In both settings the stationary guns are now always automated and can be taken over by players or bots.

The second choice is to enable or disable commander strikes. This takes several minutes because it updates most of the maps. The Original and booster pack maps should all have commander strikes eanbled. The custom maps, Operation Blue Pearl and Wake Island 2142 do not currently have commander strikes and can't be enabled.

=========================
Known Issues
=========================

- Bad tree textures at a distance for snow covered pines. Not sure what is causing this.
- Operation Blue Pearl only has infantry and aircraft on one side.
- Wake Island 2142 is not balanced. There was an attempt by EZ to add a static Titan that bot's could navigate, but there were too many issues with the Titan. I just re-discovered this on an external hard drive and decided to share before it became lost again. I removed the Titan, but there are some statics that need to be removed related to the Titan. I think this could be a fun map with some small modifications, by adding aircraft to both sides and give some mechs to the PAC at the Titan dock to help them defend.
- If Automated Vehicle Gunner positions are enabled, it will not be possible to take over that position. This is a bug that I don't believe there is a fix.

=========================

=========================
Adding more BF2142 SP Custom maps
=========================
No problem. All the changes are in the mod. The modified kits use the same names as in standard maps. Just add the map to this mod like you would any other BF2142 map level. The mod customizer only enables/disables commander strikes for current mod maps.
