3. Changes
   • After Allies have built the Beach Assault Ramp for the 5th time it can only be destroyed by dynamite.
   • Bunker Assault Ramp near the North-West MG Nest available (see the command map for location). Allies can build the Bunker Assault Ramp by using the materials inside the bunker.
   • Axis can rebuild the Backdoor. Allies need dynamite to destroy the Backdoor for the first time. For all subsequent attacks also satchels can be used to destroy it.
   • Axis can spawn near the backdoor as long as the Axis command post is up and running (this is different from the ETPro map script where Axis spawn at the command post).
   • The command post and Axis MG nests are already built on map start.
   • The Generator and the Backdoor are decoupled, so the Generator does not open or close the Backdoor - it does only operate the doors near the Gun resp. the door at the bunker front.
   • The MG42 nests in the East Bunker (near the Command Post) are removed.
   • Frontline mod (see below for description).
   • The script includes all ETPro map script fixes.
   • The script includes mortis' script fixes for Battery.
4. Compatibility
   The script should work with all mods which support custom map scripts, though it was only tested with ETPro and noquarter. It has been reported also to work with Jaymod. Please leave a message when you run it successfully with other mods.
   
   There is a separate version for noquarter, since noquarter doesn't seem to support the "set" command completely in the way as ETPro does. Simply use the script "battery_noquarter.script", place it into your mapscript directory and rename it to "battery.script". The only disadvantage compared to the default script is that players get the "You are near ..." message when standing near the Bunker Assault Ramp materials, even when they are not visible because the ramp is currently built.

New version 2007-07-15:
- Fixed: Bug with misplaced Axis command map icon for the West MG.
- Fixed: Bug were Axis could spawn at the Backdoor under some circumstances, even when the Axis command post is down.
+Added: The script now includes mortis' script fixes for Battery. This fix adds some (invisible) brushes which block player movements, to prevent players from exploiting a leaning/clipping bug near the Backdoor. In the screenshot below these brushes are made visible:
