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: 2007-07-18
- Fix: Added missing quote in a wm_announce
- Fix: Axis Command Post sound is now enabled on map start
+Add: Frontline mod (see below)

Frontline mod
The Frontline mod enables variable front lines () at the back of Battery. When Allies complete objectives at the back then they spawn closer to the Backdoor, moving the front line closer to the Backdoor. When Axis deny Allies an objective (e.g. by rebuilding the Backdoor), then Allies are pushed back towards the beach.

To make it work the Allied East Spawn flag has been moved up the cliff:

Depending on the total front line point count Allies spawn closer to the flag, pushing the front line closer to the back door.

There are 3 objectives which influence the front line point count:

• Axis command post (when down: Allies get 1 front line point)
• Allied command post (when built: Allies get 1 front line point)
• Backdoor (when down: Allies get 1 front line point)

Here the Allied spawn positions according to their current front line point count:

• 0 points: Allies spawn at the default East Beach spawn.

• 1 point: Allies spawn at the bottom of the way up the cliff (4 additional spawn places. When all 4 spawn places are used, then a player automatically uses a lower spawn place).
