EXPBG CDF Compat

# EXPBG CDF Compat
Authors: M.Pac and K.Edgar | Version 0.1.5

CDF Game Master Save support for the EXPBG GM Tools modpack in one addon. Load it, EXPBG GM Tools and CDF Game Master Save on the server and all clients. It replaces the standalone EXPBG GM Optimizer CDF, Intel Items - CDF and Ambient Destruction CDF companions: never enable it together with them or with the standalone EXPBG mods.

- Unit Caching: saves stable Full Cache survivor snapshots and cache-module settings inside CDF files. Casualties never refill; survivors return with prefab-default equipment. Load with clear before load and keep usePersistenceBlob=false.
- Intel Items: saves each item's title, text, startup state and diagnostics setting for world intel and the inventories CDF captures, such as AI and containers. Active player inventories stay excluded by CDF.
- Ambient Destruction: saves module settings, exact scenery transforms and the map-building destruction ledger. Requires CDF clearBeforeLoad and repairDuplicatesOnLoad.
- Intel server racks and USB drives: title, text, download time and drive contents.
- Unit Dialog: each AI's speaker name, dialog lines and talking gesture. Units inside a Full-cached squad do not keep dialog through CDF.
- AI Global Skills: a load restores exactly the saved settings and each group's original combat mode.
- AI Surrender: prisoners removed by a CDF load are released cleanly.
- Garrison: assignments are mission-only. CDF saves wait until Unit Caching Prepare for Save has released every garrison. Full garrison caching never runs while CDF is loaded: EXPBG GM Tools 0.1.8 and later cache a garrison set to Full in Simulation instead (its soldiers stay on their posts with AI paused); with an older GM Tools, update it or choose Simulation or Off.

Targets CDF 1.4.1. Invalid or unsupported snapshots are rejected before CDF clears the scene, and failed imports keep their recovery information. No universal mod compatibility is claimed.

Dependencies: EXPBG GM Tools FC1402F65B2F4A45 and CDF Game Master Save 6A1876F37D65AB09; both keep their own authors and notices.
