Is it possible to make the game to put text on the cameos?

Parasite03

Hi guys. I like the minimalism of cameos from TS. Is it possible to force the game to put it on? Also is it possible to make the game remap cameos. I know it was possible in RA.

1) Just remove the text from the Cameo's Graphics?

2) Nope not possible. I think CCHyper or someone else mentioned that to make Cameos Remap the game will have to go back to just using 1 Palette for everything (Units,Animations,Cameos & theater)

1) I don't think that if I put cameos without text ingame, the game will draw text on them
2) And what if I put remap colors in cameo palette?

Game doesn't remap cameo's because it is made that way.

Cameos remapped RA2 alpha and beta builds, thats why even the Allied cameo team color was red, no idea when did they remove that tho, maybe its still left in the game but disabled, but only Ares devs or WW coders can tell if its still there

Tiberian Sun used the Name= field for cameo text. RA2 still reads this field but AFAIK it's not used for anything important in-game. FinalAlert 2 still uses the Name= field though for identifying the objects in their respective lists, so if you plan to make maps for your mod, it's still a good idea to keep the Name= field properly updated.

Calling zombie bullshit on remap cameos in beta. TS' cameos look the same as the faction's default colors because of palete. RA2 is no different.

Also, is there any way to make ore silos and that would work with two types of ores? Will it need two silos to store two different silos or refineries for two ores or it will convert it to money and "store money"?

There is no Silo logic in RA2.

I thought some mod added it to RA2... C&C Reloaded maybe?
