GI Joe episode titles as mission names

This mod REPLACES all vanilla mission names with GI Joe episode titles (from both the Sunbow and DIC eras) and GI Joe themed lines such as characters, devices, plots, locations and comic book related stuff. I tried to jazz it a little by mixing in some XCOM related stuff, just for fun.

It features the following nomenclature: “Today’s episode: (episode title)” or “Today’s episode: G.I. Joe vs (themed line)”

So you might get mission names like “Today’s episode: Bazooka saw a serpent” (.... or a Faceless), “Today’s episode: G.I. Joe vs the MacGuffin Device”, “Today’s episode: G.I. Joe vs the spell of the sectoid”, “Today’s episode: Arise, Viper King, Arise!”, and so on. I’ll let you discover what’s in there. :)

"Operation Gatecrashers" became "G.I. Joe: Libe the Adventure".

I can’t control when those titles happen, but I already had many “happy accidents” where the mission name really suited the mission. Some other times it just doesn’t fit, but I decided put every existing episode titles anyway, even though some the DIC ones can be pretty dumb… like the crappy “Kindergarden commandos”, but they are not all that bad… I may add / remove stuff from it. If you have G.I. Joe related ideas that might be cool, I’m open to suggestions.

If you’d like to read more about what happens in the featured episodes here’s a wiki link where you’ll also find synopses:

If you don’t like the mod, just do not load the mod when launching the game. All will go back to normal except the mission that were already attributed. After those, the vanilla names will be restored.

Credit where it’s due:

What inspired me is another mod: pintocat’s “Holy Mission Names Batman”, that I used as a base to know how to achieve what I wanted. “Holy Mission Names Batman” changes the word "Operation" to "Holy", followed by one of Robin's phrases from the 1960's Batman show, it replaces the vanilla mission names and adds tons a new words. The results can be pretty funny! Take a look!

Known issues: The map UI isn't always made for long titles, so the title is sometimes longer than the dedicated space. There is nothing I can do for now. I might drop the "Today's episode" and "G.I. Joe vs" bits, but no change planned for now. I like it this way.

Please let me know if you spot anything that should be fixed in the titles. I've played with it for a while and didn't experience any other issue than the one above so far.
