Special changes on certain missions? Options

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

I've now encountered already on several different missions a special change in the game behaviour and want to know if anyone knows how it was done.

The first is in mission scb11ea /eb: There you have to capture the tech centre so you are able to build the stealth tank. How was it done that the stealth tank has for this mission a different prerequisite?
The second is in mission scb12ea: There you have to capture the normally uncapturable adv. comm. centre.
The third is in mission scg07ea: How does the game remember which building you destroyed in the previous mission, in case you don't destroy the airfield with your commando?
On some other missions they also changed the name of the technology centre to prison.

Are all these special changes hardcoded or is there any way to reproduce them in self-made maps?

Well, a few posts below that I already said it wasn't as hard as I remembered it being

Well, tried the original mission again, and it wasn't too hard... just a matter of waiting until the gunboat passed and then rushing in. Attacking with my bazookas, moving on with the minigunners to distract the guard towers and then rushing my engineers and commando inside worked pretty well.

D'oh! Haven't seen this.

Anyway, you shouldn't change the original gameplay or missions and just enhance the game and fix some bugs. So player like me can enjoy playing the game like back in the 90s. (I still now and then play through the campaign )
So please don't change the original missions (except bug fixing).
But what you could do is renaming all the covert ops missions in sc-001.mix so they start with scg20ea.ini/scb20ea.ini and are then consecutively numbered. This makes them appear always on top of the new missions menu. Then self-made maps aren't listed between them and you can simply say that new maps should get numbers starting with scg27ea / scb28ea and higher.
