Default Some good news for modders from ZH

After muchos badgering and hints as subtle as you like, a lot of the (useful) stuff that was dropped from previous builds of Generals will appear in Zero Hour as unused assets

Not everything is in there, although things like the Secret Lab can now be found in their entirety as well as a few models from the alpha builds which got dropped, oooh, last May or so.

None of these things have cameos, and its only art assets but its better than nothing as its a lack of such material that presents most modders with greatest challenge and therefore forms a potential barrier to supporting user made content such as mods and maps - EALA want to see lots of this

It was always part of the strategy to support mod writers (it doesnt get much better than giving away a whole chunk of art assets) and I suggested this waaaaay back in the early days - but theres only so much you can squeeze onto 2 CDs when the cut stuff alone would cover around 6 - and thats without music, sounds, maps etc etc.

Hopefully now people will stop mailing me asking for this stuff (even if there is another 2 CDs worth of stuff left out LOL)
