No, He's using the Items.DEF That I unlocked for DFX2. all I did was removed the Notool option from the locked scripts so that it shows them in the med. the same way EE did it in DFX1.
so you can use the items and who ever plays the map will NOT need to download the unlocks.
I was able to unlock 45 items. mostly stuff like tank turrets and mortar tubes. almost every thing was already unlocked.
Thanks for uploading it dave, I probably would have never gotten around to it. LOL
