Tiberium Silo stops showing fill-up anims

Noticed the most random thing last night: I cloned the Tiberium Silo (GASILO) for my mod's 4th faction (new: CASILO) and made no changes to the code entry for CASILO aside from adding the tag "Image=GASILO". Added the new CASILO to the StructureList as well.

In-game, once the new CASILO starts filling up with tiberium... it refuses to show the fill-up anim as it moves through the stages. Even when full, CASILO still displays the plain GASILO art, which shows the silo as empty.

I went and tested the other three sides - GDI, Nod, New1 - and their silos still work fine.

...any ideas what it could be...?

The Image key is known to ignore and skip several art.ini keys, e.g.
SpecialAnim's and *ZAdjust keys are ignored.

You have to clone the building in art.ini and avoid using Image key as good as possible.

First time encountering this, will adjust accordingly. I guess my CABAL faction is getting their own custom silo art then #Tongue

this is why the original WW refinery wasn't showing the harvester unloading anim.
They used in rules.ini [PROC] Image=NAREFN and thus the ZAdjust keys for (Pre)ProductionAnim were skipped and the anims rendered behind the building.

I'm not at my gaming PC to test this now - but does that mean if you create a new art.ini entry for [PROC] and remove the Image= tag from the rules.ini entry, that it will display those unloading anims correctly...?

yes, the TS Client already has this fix included (as this has the fixes from the UMP included and the Universal Mod Patch had this fix already long long ago)

(ten years of absence from the modding community is making itself clear at this point...)
