Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe>

[Bobingabout]

ok, what version of 4th faction would you want PD to implement, both ways are kind of as easy to do. not that they are easy to do.


first method, add extra tags as mentioned in quickguide, basicly, lots of side = loads of extra tags in [general] and [ai]

second method(possibly easier, and modable friendly)

add a new sub-section for each side(like list of countries, then countries specified seperatly.) all extra needed tags for your 4th side would go under these lists. because of the way it reads the file, originals would overite the new entries for existing sides. this would be like section 5 of my guide.


only mentionable problem with this is GDI the side, and GDI the country, since none of the tags are the same, PD recomends placing both the country and the side under the same GDI heading. same for Nod.


EDIT:
i think PD is going to go with reading the new sections, rather than just a bunch of tags.

also, me and PD have just been playing with a new feature

it hardcoded yuri to use ThirdLoad= for the yuri loading screen colour.

but since unless you edit the rules to include this change it causes an internal error, he has decided not to include it untill he adds the tags to set it for any side. which he doesn't plan to do untill you can have more sides, in V1.04.


but the good news is he knows how to do it!
