I could really use these too, I've got eight different sides each with there own unique engineer but only one can be used as a survivor for all of them >.>

I coded them just for fun yesterday, but I can't include them yet, because they rely on some code restructuring that hasn't happened yet. It also enables Survior.Side#= on buildings.

Is this editable via maps too? Would be nice for some mixed up houses.

Probably INI Edits done via Maps or something?

He's asking if the new tags you have introduced will be read on mission load, such as on modes or map file ini edits, and thus overwrite existing tag settings in rulesmd.ini.

He basically wants tag redefine-ability for modes or maps.

Exactly, remember how I talked about that it was not possible to change Type= and Action= on SuperWeapons in maps? I'm asking whether this is changeable in maps.

That should be the default case for Ares tags. You can override them in game modes and maps. Only a few tags do not support this.

Some other thing: Is anybody relying on the way Ares handles new sides? That is, Crew, Disguise, SurvivorDivisor, BaseDefenseCounts and friends default to the "Allied" versions instead of the "Third" versions as the original game would do?

I think most ppl would be using there own setting for those tags instead of relying on the default ones. If you did change the default setting tho it wouldn't be hard for the modder to add the tags & change them back.

PS: Any chance of getting custom text colours for each sides GUI too?

What Mig said. I also have two more sides, never noticed what you just asked about... I overrid them all.

RP: you are mixing things. SW types are really not a single type, but one dozen of types. You can't change BuildingTypes from rules into Map-Infantry types either. I already explained you this.

Custom text colors was implemented in my other branch already.

I haven't committed it yet. It's the same branch that contains all the changes I mentioned in the TS Logics thread.
