Maybe if he can show everyone else with coding knowledge how he successfully did it, maybe we can get the game.exe from TS altered too by someone else?
I don't have expert knowledge about the exe files, but there are a few things which could possibly be useful:
1) No limit to number of units.
2) New armour types.
3) HVAs working on helicoptors
4) Multiple superweapons.

Finally, I don't know how possible it is but would it be possible to port over anything from RA2 into TS, code-wise, or would that be too complicated?

He is still finding out how to do it... he only changed a basic thing so far... now he is trying to add new tags in classes, which would allow new coding features... And he already explained how he did... He used a dissassembler (which he said the name) to check thje code. Then, he checked the address of the thing and edited the gamemd.exe with a hex editor.

So can anyone else here use the same method as he did to alter the files?

You need to understand x86 assembly instructions and have a good grasp of programming to be able to write additional functions in assembly. I've only said that this is the skill set needed to hack the exe about a dozen times... Personally I'm more interested in seeing code from TS moved into YR like the super weapons, spotlight, EMPulse...etc.

I'm sure everyone here wants to see it go the other way. I'd personally love to see the spawn logic in TS.

I'd love to see many RA2 or YR logics in TS like garrisoned buildings, open topped, baloon hover, etc...

Yeah. I agreed that TS code into YR will be an easies way then YR to TS.. But i dont like RA2 Voxel Rendering Engine.. especially how normals are affecting on voxel color.

In RA2, there is a file that contains the reflective values for each of the colours for every possible normal and facing that could be applied to it. Modification of this file would lead to "better" normals in RA2. Bglman amongst others has found it.

Thing is, nobody knows how to get into that file...
