==================================================================
Sound Fix For Mounted Machine Guns
==================================================================

This bug caused the use of the mounted MG's to be silent when fired.
The correct aliascache has been added to the tiki files and sound is
now restored.

==================================================================
Remove Prone That Was Not To Be In V2.0
==================================================================

The prone feature in V1.0 made its way into V2.0 by mistake.  It
has been removed as the modheight cvar can not be changed in AA.
The only thing one could change was the 3rd person view and not the
1st person view.  As this allows a player to hide behind an object and
yet see over it in first person, this was removed.  The dev team has
contacted EA on this during V1.0 development and no further support
will be given to AA as EA does not own the AA source code.

===================================================================
Remove Debugging Messages In Class Script
===================================================================

Some extra debugging messages were printing on screen while using the
class scripts (e.g. Radioman, Medic).  These unnecessary messages have
been removed.  

===================================================================
Remove Debugging Messages In Jail Script
===================================================================

Some extra debugging messages were printing on screen while using the
jail scripts (e.g. jailbreak gameplay mode).  These unnecessary messages
have been removed. 

==================================================================
Fix Shader For The Swamp Sky
==================================================================

When looking at the sky in The Swamp map the correct shader information
was missing causing the sky texture to display improperly.  The shader
has been correct for proper sky rendering.

==================================================================
Weapon Balancing
==================================================================

The feedback the team has received was overwhelming in that the Carbine
and the drum feed Thompson were overpowered.  It also showed that the axis
weapons other then the sniper were underpowered.  We have brought the power
of the drum feed Thompson and Carbine down while increasing the power of
the type 100, 96, and 99.

We hope this first round of weapon balancing
will help even the teams.  Please keep the feedback coming in on this
important issue.

==================================================================
New Version Of PC Launcher
==================================================================

This launcher will not only rename pk3 files when launching the game,
it will also rename folders. This was one of the things fans asked for,
if you have a lot of modding material in your folders it will mess up HitP.
If you launch our mod the following folders will be renamed if they
exist on the target computer.

global to Xglobal
scripts to Xscripts
maps to Xmaps
models to Xmodels
ui to Xui
ubersound to Xubersound
textures to Xtextures
music to Xmusic

If you play Standard Play AA it will rename them back from Xxxxx to
the regular name! All above folders are not present in a clean mohaa
install. If those folders exist on a target computer then the user has
added them.

This launcher will not rename all files/folders back to their original
name unless you want it to. When you press "exit" you will get a few
options! If you terminate the launcher with the X instead of using "exit"
it will always leave as last selected!

==================================================================
Added Custom Scoreboard Picture For All Original MOH Maps
==================================================================

Standard MOH maps were missing custom scoreboard images.  These
images have now been added.

==================================================================
Increased The Amount When A Medic Heals A Player To 5
==================================================================

The medic used to heal a player at a rate of 1 health units per heal.
Now the medic heals at a rate of 5 health units per heal.

==================================================================
Fix Hole In Beach For Senjou Shima Maps
==================================================================

Holes were reported in the beach area of the Senjou Shima maps.  These
holes have been fixed.

==================================================================
Add Conquest Night Version Of Senjou Shima (objhitp07)
==================================================================

The popular Conquest gameplay mode has now been added to the night
version of Senjou Shima.  This does not replace the night version
but adds on to the list of obj maps (objhitp07).

==================================================================
Added Custom Scoreboard Picture For All Original MOH Maps
==================================================================

Standard MOH maps were missing custom scoreboard images.  These
images have now been added.

==================================================================
Add More Radiomen Skin To Radioman Class (4thmarines2, navy_fo, and yuzunu-ma)
==================================================================

The feedback that came in on the classes warranted additional skins
to be radiomen.  The radioman class was add to the 4thmarines2,
navy_fo, and yuzunu-ma skins.

==================================================================
Minor Updates Of Menu Graphics
==================================================================

The menu system was not designed for ease of a version number change.
They are now setup for easy version number changes.
