Patching extra functionality into <gamemd.exe>

[Bobingabout]

The next Rock Patch will have lasersize, but won't have lazersize

that makes no sence at all, i'm pretty sure you made a mistake there

[Marshall]

Yes it does, it's just that you missed that
"lasersize" <> "lazersize"
Although if that is to be the tag name, then surely it should be "LaserSize" (which also does not equal "lasersize")

[Bobingabout]

ah crap, silly me

he still missed overpowerable

[MCV]

And overpowerable thing?
I just want to suggest a thing to that, like PowerOn=TechnoType
So it only can load one thing

Eh?
That must be optional, so we can make Tesla Troopers that can charge both Coils and Tanks.

About tag names: I will declare it later
You will read about new tags in HelpApp.

that makes no sence at all, i'm pretty sure you made a mistake there

yep
correct one:
The next Rock Patch will have lasersize, but won't have overpowerable.

Now I rewrite SW code:
the NewNuke, NewDominator, NewLStorm and probably SpyPlane SW's are deprecated.
I remove it

[TheMan]

hehe, does it take long to remake all these codes?

[VK]

I really don't know....

[Nighthawk]

And is this new cursor system a replacement for the old custom actions for custom sw's, or does it also allow for other things (Custom enter, attack, move, etc. cursors)?

SW and Attack cursors

So will the Super Weapon 'Action' tag still work or will this now replace it, otherwise you can't run a patched YR without a mod which changes all the 'Action' tags to 'Cursor'.

[Bobingabout]

you can't change action= to curser=, action is actually more than just what pointer graphics to use, it also decides what weapon to fire, this is why using other actions can't be used, because it tries to fire 2 things at once.

[Nighthawk]

And because of what Bobing said too...

[VK]

So will the Super Weapon 'Action' tag still work or will this now replace it, otherwise you can't run a patched YR without a mod which changes all the 'Action' tags to 'Cursor'.

No.
Cursor tag on WeaponTypes
MousePointers is absolute.
Replaced by MouseCursors.

Now when you are rewriting sw codes, you could do the same for FireSW so they work with turrets and projectiles and range(and support all codes)..
It would make the game more fun and good shp artist would to nice shp

MousePointers is absolute.

You mean "obsolete".

[Bobingabout]

yes, absolute would mean its defintly not going to be changed

even if you change MousePointers, which will be extreamly annoying becase every mod will need to be re-written, you must keep Action= because that section doesn't have to use things from the new MousePointers tag.

My recomendation would not be to change section names, unless you change the values it reads, so, defintly keep Action= (as i tried to explain earlier, actions are far more than just cursers, or mouse pointers, and should be able to use the original games actions eg, removing the lightning storm and using the original lightning storms action on the lightning storm clone. dunno why anyone should want to do that but it should work since they are both superweapons, and it currently does work. look at the amount of people using TibSunBug for their first superweapon clones.), however, i'd also recomend keeping MousePointers= unless you change the values you enter into it.

lets just say, you can completly change the way it works internally, but please avoid changing the interface command lines, unless it is Absolutly necasary.

yep

Rock Patch is compatible with original YR and is NOT compatible with old versions of Rock Patch

FourthDisguise done, FthParaDropNum and FthParaDropInf too
