Feature
This seems like it'll be confusing, "Whiteout" is the WY thing, it wouldn't make sense for Marsoc / UPP to have this affix, why not just say it's a "Deathsquad"? |
That does sound better than what I thought, done. |
|
Tidied up the code. References to the overpowered versions of the commandos are now all properly denoted with !DEATHSQUD! whereas the less powerful versions have no unique identifier. This applies to both the distress call and the preset equipment. |

I believe all requested changes have been made. |

About the pull request
This PR adds three new alternative Commando distress calls for admin/staff only usage. These are variants of the Marsoc, WY Whiteout and UPP Commando that use less overpowered gear.
The non-OP versions have no unique identifier in the admin menus, however the overpowered versions are denoted with the affix of "(!DEATHSQUAD!)". This applies to both the distress call and the preset.
Marsoc: Have lost HEAP/Special Explosives/Unique Medical Items
WY Whiteout: Have lost HEAP/Special OP Flamer/Extra OP Smartgun, they are still combat Synthetics
UPP: Have lost their cloaking abilities, they still retain a cloak for the aesthetic but it is non-functional.
Explain why it's good for the game
Commando ERTs are virtually never used in game outside of zombies or for clean-up after an event due to how oppressively overpowered they are.
This addition will allow admins/staff to make usage of these unique ERTs more commonly for events without having to worry about them annihilating the entire server. While each ERT is still quite powerful, they are not as destructive.
I am 100% open to further changes as needed.
