The bonus instant action maps from the Omega Squadron Map pack are headed to Redux.

Included in this pack are the base vs. base, player versus AI Instant Action maps that were originally included in the Omega Squadron Map Pack. These maps are based on their Strategy and MPI counterparts, (some of which can currently be found in the Omega Squadron Multiplayer Map Pack) but are adapted for Instant Action with a few tweaks. They all utilize the base-building, advanced-strategy-changing AI featuring in Omega Squadron MPI/MPM maps. You will get tanks, APCs, walkers, howitzers, bombers, and sometimes a little of everything sent against your base. The AI will build a base from scratch and rebuild it if it has enough scrap. It will lay minefields to impede your progress. It will use its armory to upgrade and repair its units and defenses. ...Good luck!

Update 06/11/16:
-Taught the AI how to use its Armory:
Launches gun tower, turret, and vehicle upgrades
Repairs damaged buildings and units
Likes to spy on your base
Will Wreck your Day if you aren't careful
-Decreased general AI difficulty slightly
-Lots of internal fixes

Current Maps:
Craters
Mars Fate
Strain III
Icesabre
Vulcanus
Tharsis Mons
Beachhead
Chthon
Hemorrhage
Altar

Comming Soon(ish):
Switchback
Demotion
Alecto
Adversus Machina
Hills of Peace
Nemesis

CHEATS:
The Omega Squadron Instant Action Map pack includes several modded cheat codes to expand gameplay and increase replayability! These cheats only work on maps in this pack, or that otherwise include the necessary lua script.

CTRL+SHIFT+IAMNSDF - removes player units and gives the player an NSDF recycler and scout
CTRL+SHIFT+IAMCCA - removes player units and gives the player a CCA recycler and scout
CTRL+SHIFT+IAMBDOG - removes player units and gives the player a Black Dog recycler and scout
CTRL+SHIFT+NEWAI[NUM][FACTION] - removes the units of the specified AI team (first AI team is 1, and so on) and generates a new recycler and a few units of the specified faction for that team instead. Examples: NEWAI1NSDF will remove the units of the first AI team, and give an NSDF recycler and units (NEWAI1CCA would do the same but replace with CCA recycler and units).
CTRL+SHIFT+DEATHWISH - gives the AI an absurd amount of scrap
CTRL+SHIFT+LANDER - gives the player a Lander
CTRL+SHIFT+CLOAK - gives the player double the cloaking
CTRL+SHIFT+STRATLOCK - prevents the AI from changing strategies
CTRL+SHIFT+ACHILLES - makes the ground very unstable
CTRL+SHIFT+UPGRADES - gives upgrades to a few units
CTRL+SHIFT+RAVE - gives out rave guns like candy
CTRL+SHIFT+MINISNIPES - ?
CTRL+SHIFT+GOOFBALL - ??
CTRL+SHIFT+CRICKET - ???

Notice that with the combination of the IAM and NEWAI cheats, it is possible to play any of these maps as either faction (+black dogs), against either faction.

Please post thoughts, comments, bugs, whishes and hopes below!

Yup I will get it reuploaded soon, I had completely forgotten about it, give me another week or two as things are kinda hectic.
Note that the current version of the map pack was pretty much completely broken by the author and no longer supports save/load functionality. The author disappeared and I am working on patching the issues I may post a link at some point after I finish. I'll probably just upload a copy of the mod and my patch to Google Drive or something.

I think many of us here would greatly appreciate your effort!
He broke his shit REALLY hard and then disappeared entirely and it's a bit beyond me.
I've also fixed his Omega Squadron Campaign from crashing on load like it used to - in fact all "older" IA had a tendency to do that in BZ98R. It took me like 3 years to figure out the cause. I think that's integrated into the official version.
I've also mostly done the same treatment to "The Peoples' Dragon" but that's not been pushed out to the real world yet because I was HOPING to just have him update his mod rather than make a patch.

I'd much rather that people get familiar with the Mod Manager that Nielk1 made as he put some time into it and it was literally made FOR you GOG players. It literally allows you to download the mods from Steam Workshop directly.

https://github.com/Nielk1/Battlezone-Redux-Mod-Manager/tree/v0.4.0.1 (main GIT page with source and, more importantly, explanations of the different functions/buttons.

https://github.com/Nielk1/Battlezone-Redux-Mod-Manager/releases/download/v0.4.0.1/BZRModManager-v0.4.0.1.zip - direct link to the compiled release.

I'll provide the workshop IDs to make things easier to find once I have uploaded something.

MY PATCH:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2531253809
2531253809

ORIGINAL MOD:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=677699019
677699019

Using that tool, first fill out the information needed in the "Settings" tab and then refresh the list under the "BZ98R" tab, toss in those URLs and click "Download". If you refresh the list you should find some Green "Y" in pertinent entries.

Cheers.

It'd be cool if anyone who attempts to do this shares their experience, including any problems that they had.
