Image=WTF? - DCoder - 26.09.2006
My latest test of YR nonsense, inspired by this topic.
Claim made in the topic:
Quote:... naval yards. I noticed that they seem to be hardcoded to be 4x4 structures. At least, if I change the graphic and try to have a naval yard of a different (smaller) size, it remains a 4x4 structure.INI code:
rulesmd.ini:
Code:
[GAYARD]
Image=NAYARDCode:
[GAYARD]
Foundation=2x2
[NAYARD]
Foundation=4x4GAYARD uses the NAYARD cameo, image, and stuff, but has Foundation=2x2.
Conclusion:
If a section [rules_name] exists in art(md).ini, then it is preferred to the [rules_image_value] for loading certain properties. More properties like this remain to be discovered. I remember Cannis changing the spy sat code over the same issue with "hidden object tags".
Great code, Westwood.

i had that problem ages ago, when i wanted to use GATECH and NATECH as neutral tech buildings that you can spy on, with GATECHB and NATECHB with Image=GATECH and NATECH, and on GATECH and NATECH having Image=somethingelse. GATECH still had a foundation of 3x2 and NATECH still had 3x3, even though the new ones should have been 4x3 and 4x4.

So in other words, foundation MUST be set through a structure's OWN art entry?
RE: Image=WTF? - Bobingabout - 26.09.2006
if an art entry by the same name as the structure entry exists, then it is used, if it doesn't exit, then the entry pointed to by Image= is used instead.

What I used to have a problem with when I started many years ago was for example:
[GATECH]
Image=NATECH in the rules.ini, but:
[GATECH]
Image=GATECH
was in the art.ini so sometimes the GATECH would look like NATECH or GATECH randomly... go figure.
