Minigunners Renamed to Rifleman

Description
Simple tiny mod to rename Minigunners to 'Rifleman'. (Will also work with gameplay mods.)

This isn't a nostalgic name restoration, just clearing up a very minor gripe some have, especially to 2020 standards. It's not a big deal, but it's also not a big mod.

Renames for both factions: They use the same infantry. I looked into a heavier method for faction-specific soldiers but didn't figure it out so just uploaded this.
I did include an extra line to rename Nod minigunners but I'm pretty sure it won't do anything currently.

Compatible with effectively anything. C&C Remastered modding doesn't allow duplicate file changes but no major mods touch Minigunner names.

__
In March 2021 a very angry brony dropped by, arguing that they were called "minigunners" because they are "miniature soldiers". I enjoy critique but decided to delete the comments because they went a smidge over the line by also insulting people subscribed to the mod, but decided to commemorate the event here.
They're miniature soldiers.

Ohh right I think I have to update the mod after each game update or something.

The mod does not show up in the ingame workshop

I updated it, the mod doesn't include a specific game version number so I see no reason why it'd vanish from some people's games.

*Maybe* this fixed it, maybe it didn't. C&C modding is still a little strange.

Should it be showing up in the modlist? Because it doesn't even show up in the in-game mod list like other rename mods. Could be the problem

I wonder if the game patch affected mods this small. If so I'll fix.

Does not work. Subscribed to mod but they are still called minigunners in game

Yep! Though given than Nod are evolved from terrorists and still recruit third world fanatics it still seems fair to me though definitely focus on still being a 'soldier' and not like an extremist guerilla.

Not that I ever found a way to rename them anyway so eh.

Both sides have professional infantry in the 90's lore and use Calico M960s. (Along with M16A4s in the case of Nod) Generalizing the Brotherhood of Nod as militants is more representative of C&C3 where that was actually the case. In the 90's they were more of a professional military, though. Or something like a well funded conscription based army at the very least. (like Western Europe)

If I can separate them without breaking the campaign, and there's a way to replace the files, then I'm sure audio is doable too yeah! Probably much easier if there's ever a Tiberian Sun remaster.

Is it possible to give them different sounds when firing? To represent the fact they have different weapons?
