Firstly, i think we should have a version with fully functional 4th side before we try and make a 5th side.
this is a bit like what i wrote years ago, this link was titled "PD's Plans" http://bobingabout.gamemod.net/bobstemps...idesv4.txt
BaseUnit wouldn't be needed in here because it is assigned via the countries that exist on the Owner= tag of a unit on the [General] BaseUnit= tag.
AIBasePlanningSide= wouldn't be needed here because the number is assigned by the order of the countries in the list.
for the colour, you'd be better off with something like LoadingScreenTextColor=CDALoad ;colour name from [Colors] list
theres more in my list, but i lack gates.
a special note should be added for "SeperateRadarPallete=yes ;you know what this is PD"
PD might have known what it was back then, but in all likelyhood, he can't remember, and nobody else eer knew what it was. you know how
sidec03.mix has radary.pal for yuri's radar, well, this was a tag to make it read a seperate pallete for the radar, to allow the rest of the GUI to use a pallete more defined for its colours, instead of being restricted because of the animations colours. this might be solved with a 16-bit SHP, but can't be solved with the palette= tag, because there is no section to add it to. and you can't create a section, because the name is identicle for the same SHP on every side.
