Buildings

This is a sub-page of Proto:Command & Conquer: Generals/Build 98 Alpha/Models.

USA#

The USA has the least amount of placeholder models, mainly because most of their arsenal was already modelled in this build, including things that were later cut.

All of these were cut from the game. The EMP Cannon and the Rail Gun may've been defensive buildings, the latter has concept art. The Sentry Drone was later added back in Zero Hour as a vehicle but its original role was a building, it's not really known how it would've behaved like one. The model named ABParBmUp is a duplicate of the ABEMPCann with the same texture so it's hard to decipher its name.

China#

The Airfield, Barracks, Nuke Reactor, Supply Center and Nuclear Missile survived into the final game. The Palace later became a GLA structure.

The Anti Tank Gun, Firestorm/Typhoon, Flame Turret, Gatling Howitzer and the Gatling Tower were cut from the game, all of these were probably defensive buildings, and may've been too many for a single faction. The Flame Turret has concept art, so it easy to guess how it would've appeared in the game. Firestorm/Typhoon is named NBFIRESTRM in its model file, but the name written on top of the model is Typhoon. The Supply Center model is a duplication of the Anti Tank Gun model but with the correct offsets.

GLA#

Only the Supply Center survived into the final game. The Rocket Storm might've been an early name for the SCUD Storm, and if that's the case, the Rocket Storm did survive into the game.

The Construction Yard, Field Generator, Mine Field, Radar Jammer, Rebel HQ, and the Secret Factory were all cut from the game. The Construction Yard and the Rebel HQ were probably early ideas for the GLA Command Center, the Construction Yard was probably the first of these ideas since it was planned for construction to be constrained to vicinity of a Construction Yard, just like in older Command & Conquer games. The Field Generator might have been the GLA's Power Plant building. The Mine Field is pretty self-explanatory. The Radar Jammer might've worked like the Mobile gap generator from Red Alert. The Secret Factory was probably the original upgrade center for the GLA, since the Palace was Chinese.
