And it shows up, the computer can play as them without causing any crashes. After spending a while searching through the Ares Documentation I had some questions I'm hoping to get some help with.
First, when a match starts, the new team always starts off with a Conscript mixed in with it's own starting units.
Second, adding new colors to choose from. I got as far as knowing it involves "uimd.ini" before getting confused.
And third regards EVA's. The Documentation pages on it weren't making any sense to me. I understand you can add a whole new batch of voices for new teams, but for the life of me I can't understand how to set it up.
I tried starting small by making a new Paratrooper Superweapon for the team and using the tag "EVA.Ready=" to change the voice that played with a preexisting one and had no luck. Would anyone mind explaining EVA's a bit clearer? QUICK_EDIT
[Colors]
Count=9 ; that's one more than the game's default 8
Slot9.DisplayColor=0,255,0 ; that's the RGB color shown in the dropdown list
Slot9.ColorScheme=<TODO> ; put the color name from rulesmd's [Colors] here
Slot9.Tooltip=NOSTR:My ninth color ; the color name for the status bar
To add a new EVA event (that's a thing like EVA_LowPower), you have to add the new name to the list in evamd.ini and then add a section where you define the names of the wav files to play for each EVA type. You can then use you new event like EVA.Ready=EVA_MyNewParadropReady.
To add a new voice, that is a new EVA announcer like Eva, Sofia or that Yuri guy, you'll find an example in the documentation. There's not really much more to it than creating a [EVATypes] section in evamd.ini with 0=<Name>, and then adding values to each of the EVA events to point to the new announcer's wav files. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Thank you, I'm not sure why I wasn't grasping having to add a section myself. The colors show up fine.
For EVA's does this look right?
In evamd.ini
Code:
[EVATypes]
0=NewTeamVoice ; Whatever I want to call the new team voice?
Then in the DialogList:
Code:
xxx=EVA_NewEventName
[EVA_NewEventName]
Text=Whatever the the voice says
Russian=Wav file of sound
Allied=Wav file of sound
Yuri=Wav file of sound
NewTeamVoice=Wav file of sound
Type=QUEUE
Priority=NORMAL
Then in RulesMD I can attach the "EVA.Ready=EVA_NewEventName" tag to have the sound play?
And for the new team, there's a tag in Country Statistics called "EVA.Tag=" would I put "NewTeamVoice" there once I add it to all the other EVA Events? Sorry I need so much help. Hate having to ask all this. Thanks for the help. QUICK_EDIT

Yes, yes and yes. You said exactly what you need to do. There's only one thing you said wrong - EVA.Tag goes to the side's entry, not the country. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

Thank you for the confirmation, everything is working fine. You don't happen to know why a conscript is showing up with my new teams starting units do you? QUICK_EDIT

Not even sure how it got onto the conscripts list. Thanks again.
If I could bother you for one more thing. When I tested my new team EVA for their paratrooper superweapon I used a pre-existing sound. The allied "Nuclear Silo Detected" one, and it played as soon as the paratroopers were ready to use. I made a new sound "NTPARA", converted it, and put it on the Audiobag just like all the other sounds. But nothing played this time. Is there a list I have to add the sound itself to? Or do EVA sounds need to be converted to something different than Unit Sounds? QUICK_EDIT

EVA sounds don't go into audio.bag, they stay loose. They always did, see localmd->evamd for the example. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman
