For some reason, this image looks hard coded. At least, I haven't found any visceroid reference in the art.ini

VEFbl4 - Cause you have IMAGE instead of Image ?

Banshee - it's not hardcoding, the game can find stuff this way. Same as putting WallTower=GACTWR and omitting GACTWR from the [BuildingTypes], it will still be loaded just fine, but you won't be able to control its position in the array. Same stuff happens in RA2/YR where gtpowexp/tstlexp are listed as animations under GAPOWR/NAPOWR (Explosion) without being in the [Animations] list or art(md).ini, and get loaded still, albeit without any controls like Rate. It's unreliable and hacky, but it works.

The Visceroid shp might not be hardcoded, but the animation sequence it uses IS. Because the shp doesn't have an art.ini entry, it doesn't have the required WalkFrames= FireFrames= tags needed for regular shp vehicles.

You will need to copy the shp with another name and create an art.ini entry with the required tags. Copying them from the Titan and modifying them to match the number of frames the Visceroid has would be the fastest and easiest way.
