Is there a mod that modifies better formations?

Recommended Posts

In C&C3 I noticed a coding in the AIData.ini in formation.

Based from the AIData.ini:

; Group (formation) pathfinding parameters.
  MinDistanceForGroup                = 200.0    ; Have to be moving at least this far for group (formation) movement.
  FormationEnemyDistance            = 500.0   ; Don't use formation movement if enemies are closer than this to the center of the group.

  FormationColumnWidth                = 60.0    ; Space between columns.
  FormationRowDepth                    = 55.0    ; Space between rows.
  FormationSquadSpacing                = 30.0 ; Extra space between squads.
  FormationColumns                    = 2        ; form up two hordes abreast, or 4 smaller units. (valid values are 2 or 3.)
  UseFormations                        = Yes   ; Move in formation.  Can be turned off in a map.ini if necessary.
  WaitForOthers                        = No        ; When moving in formation wait (or not) for others at first waypoint. Default=No.
  NarrowPassageScale                = 0.4;
  HordesWaitForHordes                = Yes  ; If yes, hordes will stop and wait for other hordes to pass.  If no, they just run through each other. 22 Sept. 2004
  AttackMoveUsesFormations            = Yes ; If yes, player attack moves will move in formation (if UseFormations == Yes)


Pretty much of this formation coding except MinDistanceForGroup was not mentioned in Generals/Zero Hour.

The thing is, was there ever a mod that add/modify formations like this into Generals/Zero Hour? The default of many or even a smaller number of units into a group moving is defaulted to one formation column instead of two or more in C&C3 and later games. I also discovered a similar modified formation in BFME as well.
