why does ra2 have no subterranean or carryall functionality?

or deformable terrain. or cracking ice. seems like there was no need to remove that from functioning...

Heavy land units will sink on ice like a vessel when killed... so it isn't all gone.

Apparently, deformable terrain slowed down the engine significantly. I haven't been able to chk that for myself tho... It has been cut from the game.

The subterranean and carry-all logic is still there, just unused.
However, if you wanna use the Subterranean APC from TS, you'll get a nuke siren played everytime the driller digs (DigSound=NukeSiren. Dunno what WW was thinking when using it as part of the Nuke-logic).

If I remember correctly, it was very close to a beta or somesuch, and DigSound was still unused, so instead of coding a new tag, because of time constraints, they put the NukeSiren on that tag.

You can fix the dig sound by disabling the the normal dig/nuke siren sound & then instead attach the sounds to the related animations. Ares also adds new tags to fix it too.

But which anim is attached to the Nuke's target? (Unless you meant this fix is for diggers...)?

... I think they were planning on something that was cancelled.

Attach the siren to the silos activation anim.

Do you mean NKMSLDN? It's the Anim that plays for the Nuke pointing down...
If I were to attach the siren to the Silo activation, then the siren would play everytime the nuke's ready, right?

Attach it to the silo closing anim, it will then play just after the nuke is fired.

'SuperAnimFour=NAMISL_H'
Basically, doing that would start the siren, but not where the Nuke is due to hit, which is exactly what DigSound is used for, and what I want to try to keep without using DigSound.

Your idea would start the siren in my base Smile

The siren is played map wide for all players & not at the target position.

True, but it's noticebly louder at the target.
