Nope, no new stuff, just a reply
Yep the headers and section will still be required.
The stuff with UIName= is very weird. The UIName is used for the list in the skirmish menu and for ingame, but NOT for the loading screen. I dunno why, changing that would cost a few researches, and I don't think it's THAT important.
Determining filenames by flags is a good idea actually, and I think it's fairly easy. It just sucks that I have to rewrite my code then
But indeed, it's a better idea. I'll see what I can do.
Thanks a LOT for that info, I didn't think of it yet.
BTW, I dunno if it was mentioned here or tried yet, what GUI is used when Side=FourthSide and sidec04.mix doesn't exist?
Quote:as for your extra countries, you do still need the [11thcountry] header right?
if you do, which I'm hoping you do, then name:country## would be determined using the UIName= tag.
anyway, since you have to specify in your code what files it reads, wouldn't it just be as easy to look for a tag, then store those filenames in the slot where you are hardcoding the new filenames?
If I'm understanding what you've told me right, you can make it read any tags you want, only problem is where to store the data. so if you've already written in (hardcoded if you will) the name to be C13_flag, couldn't it just as easily be determined by a tag?

Quote:@PD 4th side GUI is optional anyway, its set by your Side= tag on the country. setting it to Side=GDI will mean that you get the Allied GUI and EVA, but still your 4th sides tech tree. i beleave it was blade who originally pointed that out to me aswell anyway.
