Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe>

[Marshall]

My thoughts on NotHuman:

1. compatibility
A mod should not be required for the patch to work unless absolutely necessary for a super-cool piece of new functionality (in which case the future YRCP will be mandatory for the exe patch).

2. Moddability
Should be simple and easy to modify. Ideally, that would mean that instead of pointing to a DieX= sequence, it would point to an alternative animation entry (besides, Human infantry don't get a unique anim for each individual soldier, do they?).

3. Use
If it's not going to get used, PD doesn't want the extra work. IMHO InfDeaths for NotHuman infantry will get very little use.
A possible alternative is a way to say "This particular InfDeath ignores NotHuman=yes". However, I think that wouldn't get much use either.


In conclusion, there are many things that are both simpler to implement and more useful than animal InfDeaths.



@Bobingabout, no problem
