Alt images for infantry (**)
Alternate images for infantry
Step I:
Art. You can simply recolor the infantry to light allied for an.. improved.. look. Put in an ecache(MD)XX mix.
Step II:
Coding.
Say you want to give.. the Conscript.. snow-cameo.
Open Rules/RulesMD, hit Ctrl-F, type '[E2', and press enter.
You should see this
[E2]
UIName=Name:E2
Name=Conscript
Image=CONS

Locomotor={4A582744-9839-11d1-B709-00A024DDAFD1}

;MovementZone=InfantryDestroyer ;GEF wow!!! copy paste bug from the original Disk Thrower!

EliteAbilities=SELF_HEAL,STRONGER,FIREPOWER,ROF
ImmuneToVeins=yes
Size=1
ElitePrimary=M1CarbineE
IFVMode=2
Under 'Primary=M1Carbine*', put 'AlternateArcticArt=yes'.
Save, close Rules/RulesMD, open Art/ArtMD, hit Ctrl-F, type '[CONS]', and hit enter.
You should see this
[CONS] ; Conscript
Cameo=E2ICON
AltCameo=E2UICO
Sequence=ConSequence
Crawls=yes
Remapable=yes
FireUp=6
PrimaryFireFLH=60,0,100
(1) add 'AlternateArcticArt=yes' to whatever inf unit u want to use a different uniform or whatever on snow maps for example GI
(2) in art copy that units art but add A a to the end of name so for instance [GIA], [TANYA], etc
(3) have a shp called GIA etc in ecache mix with a XX number do 10+ since community patches
Then load up snow map, build inf and enjoy
The more adventurous could change snow theater to something more exotic or so that unit has completely different look on that map (e.g. nude or wearing a hat or turn in a woman etc, etc)

uh no for obvious reasons since not implemented for anything else except [InfantryTypes]
Implemented to buildings..but in a very different way ..but I wonder, Could a future Rock patch (wishful thinking) fix it so that vxls can have alternate images... QUICK_EDIT
