I got this idea while working on adding a new unit for my mod - I was making test files for the Art and Rules entries, so I didn't have to constantly keep going into a long file to access the entries. The files were Test_Rules.ini and Test_Art.ini. Obviously, I put both ini files in the Rulesmd.ini's #Include function. I didn't remember this when I did it, but #Include only works for Rules related files, and not Art related. My suggestion is this: Expand the compatability for #Include to allow for Art.ini related files as well. It would be very useful for keeping art entries neatly organized between segments or certain areas, or as I was using it for, "Sandbox Testing". QUICK_EDIT
1.All new sides in Ares use the same multiplayer score screen(Yuri's).
2.[AudioVisual]ShakeScreen= doesn't work at all,but if set this to zero,it will cause an Internal Error when a TechnoType with Explosion= is destoryed.
3.A railgun weapon(with Damage= ,AmbientDamage= ,IsRailgun=true and AttachedParticleSystem= set) is supposed to cause AmbientDamage+Damage at the target point and AmbientDamage along the rail.However, if the firer and the target aren't at the same height,it will only cause Damage at the target point.
4.AI will not check the Prerequisite while building power plants(buildings in the AI.PowerPlants= list).
Hope these problems willl be solved. QUICK_EDIT
Ah yes, shake screen was indeed fixed with NPext previously and seeing it get fix in ARES would be nice.
AmbientDamage is known issue, it can not work with elevations where cliff or slope blocks it and thus ambientdamage will not pass thru and also fire particles have the same issue being blocked. QUICK_EDIT

Most of these new features doesn't end up flawless, logics shouldn't be kept flawed for eternity. _________________ "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

Why do so many people request visual additions and minor bug fixes?
Isn't new logics the most interesting features?
You fix what is broken before you make new stuff. Visual bugs mean a lot.
I would like to see bridges fixed to be the proper scale of 4 wide, least the wooden bridge in urban to be a 4 cell if possible. Roads are suppose to be 2 full cells for 2 lane road and 4 full cells for 4 lane roads. But with the lack of coders and support for this im sure it will be a no go. _________________ I am authorized to send out the TMP Studio, PM ME IF YOU WANT IT And check this out, these were sent to me for help with terrain and zdata help along with TMP Studio/Builder
NvH: Just because you say "fix bridges" doesn't mean they are broken. They are not.
Generally, trying to increase priority of something by calling it a fix when it clearly is a feature request just marks it as "ignore" in my mind.

I have yet to make a list of all requests mentioned here, but it doesn't look like there is a consent on any big issue. I'll try to officially start work this weekend (inofficially, I changed a few things which require testing already). _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Would balloon hover transports be plausible? Where a normally non-landing jumpjet vehicle lands to collect passengers. Deploy would land it long enough to offload passengers.
I'm expecting that this would require more effort then its worth, but, on the off chance it isn't... _________________ "It's got that Droke style to it!" QUICK_EDIT

The closest thing (exept Helix, Twinblade etc.) is the behavior of the Amphibious transports. When you select an infantry/vehicle and move the cursor over the transport when it is on whater it will go to the shore and then load all units. I am no coder but that is the closest thing that I can see in YR.
For air transports will be good! Just temporary to change movement zone till loads/unloads and then goes back to its movement zone.
Another thing (I don't know how much things I am allowed to purpose), for transports. Lets take the Soviet Flak Track: Order infantry/terror drones to enter the Flak Track and they go, but if you move the Flak Track, the units that were going to the Flak Track stop at the last location when you ordered them to enter the vehicle. It would be nice if .... I don't know... maybe get more scanning for the vehicle and if the vehicle moves they will scan for it and move to the new location of the vehicle.
I agree on that transports that would only land to pick up/drop down passangers could be useful.
Like, if we have a combat helicopter, that can pick up some troops as a addition.
Now we don't want it to land every time it kills a unit, just to go back into the air when found a new target (this is actually just slow retargeting).
Also the transports right now lands whenever its not moving (exept over water) or not attacking, making them more vulnerable than we maybe want them to be. QUICK_EDIT
In RA2 Beta the Allied Gap Generator blocked superweapons from being targeted in the area where the GapGen is constructed, would that be possible to restore? _________________ Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun ,Red Alert 2,Renegade, Command & Conquer 3,Tiberium and Tiberium Wars and Westwood related image & video archive

tomsons26lv, What problems has in logic SuperGap? For me, it all works fine (can be deployed only when there is a sufficient amount of energy).

[BuildingType with Refinery=yes]
SpyEffect.Custom=yes
SpyEffect.ShowMoney=yes
So when you click on infiltrated refinery, you will see how much money enemy has.
Or even SpyEffect.ShowTiberium=yes to show how much is filled currently refinery or silos (if silo logic is enabled), same as we click on our own building.
Or just one of those two would be enough, but we should be able to see.
[BuildingType with positive Power=]
SpyEffect.Custom=yes
SpyEffect.ShowPower=yes
When we infiltrate this power plant, we should see how much power enemy has.
old RA1 and perhaps TS had those two abilities and would be nice here.
Also,
[SpyInfantryType]
BuildingsAllowed=[list of buildings where this spy can enter]
For example, spy can have
BuildingsAllowed=GAPILE,NAHAND,YABRCK,NAPOWR,GAPOWR,YAPOWR.... etc
And Thief can have just BuildingsAllowed=GAREFN,NAREFN,YAREFN _________________ PPM Halloween Season 2021 QUICK_EDIT

How about panic voices for all units being heard by the player, instead of hearing just his own units.
In TS you can hear the enemy soldiers screaming for medics, but RA2 you can only hear your own Conscripts crying for their mommies, and not the enemy GIs yelling that they are pinned down. _________________ Destroy to create. All for the hunt to dominate!

really? ztype... how come no mod's done it though? I don't even think MO has done it.
It adds a touch of realism. Not only do you get to hear them die, you get to hear them cry, beg for something they think will save them...
I want to go into MO's files and add that tag, but then I can't play online.
It would, sorta, kinda be cool except every thing is going sci fi. and this topic has gone way off topic, imo _________________ I am authorized to send out the TMP Studio, PM ME IF YOU WANT IT And check this out, these were sent to me for help with terrain and zdata help along with TMP Studio/Builder

Add it to your own Mod in your sound.ini add Type=local onto every Feedback Sound.
just remember that eventually they'll get cancelled out in large fights or until you hit the sound limit in the game. _________________ ~ Excelsior ~ QUICK_EDIT
WOW! looks like I missed out on alot of new stuff. Cant wait to get caught up, _________________

I agree with Apollo on finally getting jumpjets to actually stop when they stop. This would potentially fix multiple issues jumpjets have (including making them able to cloak on stop inair, so all units would be able to cloak then).
I would also like to have Cyborg Reaper missile logic ported into Ares (one thing i really miss in the RA2/YR engine), or the airborne aircraft carrier made possible.
Perhaps also make voxel turrets able to cast shadows (this, with an AE rotor animation, could allow us to make realistic helicopters that actually turn into the direction they fire at) - currently it is only possible to have this on shp turrets. I don't think there is such high demand for this one as for other features, though... (especially that this one is pretty much graphical only)
Other than that, i don't really have anything in mind (except that i'm hoping for Graion to finish bounty this time ). QUICK_EDIT
How about more customizable projectile?
Like:
Floater from TS which make the projectile having collision detection.
Bouncy and Elasticity from TS to make bouncy ball.
By setting Elasticity=0 you can make the arcing projectile hit the ground instead of "homing" target
Airburst and Split Missile.
Fix and extend Level=yes logic to make it work outside the water.
Fix and extend Inaccurate logic to make the scatter more controlable.
More customizable homing missile course. I really hate those "climb high first" missiles. It'll be nice if we can customize missile like spawned missile.
Perhaps it's not easy to change game physics.
More customizable projectiles can make better battle performance ,which is one of the most important in C&C games IMO. QUICK_EDIT
Some bugs:
1.In YR 1.001, a vessel repairing in a shipyard is immune to any external damage that could not be destroyed by conventional
weapons until the shipyard is destroyed or it finishes repairing.
2.A human player can order a Tanya or a Seal to blow up a building on the radar map, but the cursor is the same as the cursor on the big map.
3.AI's unit does't attack an iron-curtained unit, but a human player's unit does.
4.If a unit in a Battle Fortress is attacking an AI-controlled Tesla Coil or Prism Tower, the building will charge over and over again but never shoot out.
5.Infantries in a Battle Bunker will not be kicked out although the Bunker's strength is in red.However, we can't order infantries to enter a Battle Bunker
whose strength is in red.
6.Seals and Tanyas in the water will prone when they're under attack so they look very odd.
7.In the mission, if the battlefield control went offline when the player is using 'Follow' on a moving unit, the screen will keep moving until the unit stops moving. QUICK_EDIT
Ah, I always forget. I would also suggest breaking hardcode so Infantry can use mechanic warhead, and vehicles can use Organic, so we can have mechanics and Ambulances. _________________ PPM Halloween Season 2021 QUICK_EDIT
You can already make vehicles heal infantry & infantry repair vehicles using several methods. A dummy weapon with a negative damage attach effect anim is the simplest way tho. _________________
