Create missing documentation placeholders Creates placeholder documentation for modules which did not previously have any. If a module had the same name and apparent purpose as a module from AGM, AGM's documentation was imported into the placeholder. These documentation are useful to users for explaining what ACE3 changes. They are also useful to community admins who want to create a custom distribution of ACE3 and need to know which modules to disable. The documentation needs to be significantly fleshed out before it's ready for public consumption, but this should be a helpful start.

"ACE SwitchUnits" is a tool for mission makers to quickly add PvP (Player vs. Player) elements to a mission. In short it enables a player to control AI units. Allowing players to perform as enemies even during a COOP mission increases the authenticity of the enemy and thus the immersion for everyone.

The most prominent feature of ACE SwitchUnits is that you can add it to nearly every existing mission and get AI control out of the box. Dynamic mission like "Enemy Assault", "Patrol Ops", "Invade & Annex", etc. don't need to be touched to make all random spawned AI's controllable.
