Well, he most likely though that this tag is for fire storm, as some tags are present in YR but not in RA2.
I gave IsCoreDefender=yes to Lasher Tank and nothing happened. Lasher Tank still has standard selection box.
Well I forgto that no firestorm tags are present in RA2/YR because RA2 is directly based on TS, not on FS. _________________
Since RA2 was based on TS, nothing added in FS exists there.
Sole exception to this being BurstDelay, but that was most likely intentionally added to RA2 and was probably intended to be used for something, but in the end was not. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
except, that BurstDelay works completely different in RA2. IIRC it is here assigned to the vehicle, not the weapon like in TS. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

Lin Kuei Ominae, that thing is rare, but still it works better in TS rather than RA2. Usually many stuff are fixed and work better in RA2 but this one does not.
First off, in TS it is weapon based, in RA2 it is assigned to vehicle only, so no infantry and buildings to use it.
Second, I do not know about TS, it is limitless, but in RA2 you can use max 5 bursts. Above that no working.
Only thing which is better in RA2 here is that we can adjust each bust delay separately.

Pretty sure PixelSelectionBracketDelta works on vehicles too, but it only effects height AFAIK.
Ah yes that too.
But I do not get how Westwood though of huge units such as Kirov and Floating Disc.
They require higher selection box. Plus, we have today oversize voxels which indeed require higher selection box.
hey guys, how exactly bigger is selection box using IsCoreDefender tag from normal selection box? 50%, double bigger or? _________________
Oh, I always though there is sume tag to make units be immune to emp.
I got rules from ts/fs and checked them for useful codes aside from core defender which we do not have.

What for are Splits=yes and RetargetAccuracy=75%,ProjectileRange=, and AV=true tags?

I did not know projectile can have color= tag assigned. And that VeryHigh tag. Firestorms seems to have some interesting codes. _________________

Splits=yes says that the projectile should split, it's an airburst, but not above target.
IsTemple works in RA2, but only used for LStorm targeting.
Color works on SHP projectiles only.
VeryHigh exists in both games.
Rest are so much FS that I don't even know what are they're for. _________________ "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

Ah that makes sense. Airburst is pretty much hard coded in our case.

According to ModEnc, it is also used for Nuke targeting.
That can be very useful for distracting AI from firign superweapon in center of your base. Just put building with IsTemple at corner, so damage will be greatly reduced.

So, if color is darkgreen, then projectile will be recolored regardless of its real colors?

Here is only used ProjectileRange=2. A weird code. How possibly projectile can have range?

Here is only used RetargetAccuracy tag. Perhaps that tag should have connections with targeting systems, how quickly will unit chose next target if for some reasons loses its target or stop firing at it. Just guessing but still has no sense since it is attached to weapon, not unit.
Here is only used AV=true tag. Perhaps it means AntiVehicle, as AA means Anti Air, AN anti Naval, AG anti ground etc... its perhaps to ensure that limpet will attack just vehicles. _________________
Don't try to bring TS keys to RA2. Look in your RA2 game.exe/gamemd.exe and then search for the ini keys inside the exe and you find all that are available for RA2/YR. (And in addition of course those from Ares)
ProjectileRange: the proj can fly only this distance and will then explode. The special Splits logic will make it this way go into the second stage and launch the 2 smaller missiles.
Also very useful to avoid that missiles fly across the map when they follow a fast unit.
RetargetAccuracy: defines the accuracy of the second stage Splits-logic missiles. This allows some of these missiles to randomly miss the target.
AV: correct, anti-vehicle. Works on buildings only. On vehicles only auto-targeting considers this, force-firing allows to override it.
Color: changes only the remap colors of a voxel (in TS) projectile. It does not change the color of the whole projectile. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

hehe, I am not such coder, I cant look into exe tag. as based on RA2, I do not think any TS tags are present in YR.

Well that sounds similar to Inaccurate=yes tag.

Ah, that limpet drone deploys actually into 1x1 invisible building, so it actually attach itself to vehicle.

Graion Dilach, hehe, they are using voxel projectiles.
That tag would be awesome if allows to set not just at projectile, but voxel unit which has remap color, belongs to civilian but we do not want it to be white, as that tag overrides remap colors.
Lin Kuei Ominae, I noticed that you got many new tags just for one unit cyborg reaper. You got SpeedType=Creep for him. When I put it on lasher tank to test, after starting game, my and AI's lasher tanks started so far from our starting locations, somewhere on pavement, fighting each other. And we cant move them. He will not exit from war factory. So yes, I fucked up that (even if I put correctly that speed to each terrain type). _________________

Just open it with a hex editor and search for a key's name. You can even make a copy of gamemd.exe, rename it to gamemd.txt, open it with Notepad and search for key names (unless gamemd.exe has been encrypted by Safedisk or something; the non-TFD TS 2.03 exe isn't). _________________ CnCNet Client | CnCNet TS patches | More Quality-of-Life Improvements for RA Remastered
Lin Kuei Ominae, Rampestein, yes, that works, but if I find some tag that does not mean that it is working automatically.
For example, I found TiberiumHeal in gamemd.exe, and yet again it does not work in RA2/YR.
I did not found that IsJuggernaut tag (which is right next to IsCoreDefender in that picture LKO posted), and yet again in modenc RA2/YR pictures are enabled there.
Though when I just tested TickTank=yes, Artillary=yes,IsJuggernaut=yes on Construction Yard (three times separately, and logically I removed IsConstructionYard=yes), MCV still deploys normally, ignoring facings. Perhaps I should have tested with some other building _________________
that is of course the TS game.exe, not the RA2 one which i don't have.
Keys in the exe are indeed not always working and/or you don't test them on the right technotype. But you this way at least find every single key the game reads from your inis. So you don't add any useless MakeMyModAwesome= keys and you don't have to wonder/ask anymore if one or another key exists in RA2/YR. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
