 Beta 79
 Summary of changes (For more details and notes, see the full changelog (TAT-v2.0-Beta-Changelog.txt) included in the release):
 Arm Atlas and Core Valkyrie costs reduced and their armor ratio reduced from 4x normal to 3x normal. This should make it riskier to attack with carried units.
 Core Shodan line of sight and range increased and damage reduced.
 Laser defenses armor increased and damage reduced.
 NOTE: Weapons that use energy to fire have a 50% damage bonus, but most of the energy weapon defenses also had their armor halved and their firepower doubled, compared to the baseline. To make battles a little less quick and "glass cannon" feeling, these have been adjusted to only have 50% less armor and 50% more firepower, instead of halved and doubled.
 Arm Stingray and Core Thunderbolt were getting more damage than they should be, so I increased their costs to put them roughly where they should be.
 Core Moho Exploiter weapon changed to [CORE_DOOMSDAY_SECONDARY] ([CORFHLT_LASER]).
 NOTE: This gives more range to Moho Exploiters, making them more able to defend against longer-ranged attackers.
 Arm and Core Gantries now self-destruct as strategic nukes.
 All Kbots (Including gantry Kbots) have had their firepower per metal ratio reduced by 1/3.
 NOTE: This reduces the firepower per metal ratio of all Kbots to 2/3 what it was. This should help battles to not be so "glass cannon-y" and give more time for players to react to damage taken.
 Arm Zipper and Core Pyro armor increased and line of sight increased.
 NOTE: Like the Arm Peewee and Core A.K., the Zipper and Pyro's faster speed no longer comes at the expense of their armor.
 All vehicles had their speed reduced by 10%. This should make them a little less difficult to engage and target.
 Added Arm and Core Galactic Gates with teleportation functionality to build menus:
 Arm and Core Galactic Gates are now buildable by advanced construction units and can be used to teleport units between themselves. Build two, then select one and have it "attack" (link button) the other, then vice-versa. Once you see the directional arrows, you'll know it's ready to teleport units. Just walk them into the circle around the Galactic Gate, and it will appear next to the other gate. Movement waypoints are canceled when a unit is teleported, so it won't immediately try to go somewhere else.
 Big thanks to Wotan of the Total Annihilation: Escalation mod for giving permission for us to use these units with their impressive scripts!

 November 3, 2023
 TA:T v2.0 Beta 79:
 Arm Atlas metal cost reduced to 100 (130), energy cost reduced to 2072 (2693), build time reduced to 4208 (5470), armor reduced to 1909 (3309).
 Core Valkyrie metal cost reduced to 105 (137), energy cost reduced to 2230 (2899), build time reduced to 3488 (4535), armor reduced to 2205 (3836).
 NOTE: This reduces the costs of air transports but also their armor ratio from 4x normal to 3x normal. This should make it riskier to attack with carried units.
 Core Shodan line of sight increased to 675 (450).
 Core Shodan weapon [SHODAN_LASER] range increased to 675 (450), damage reduced to 75 (112), and energy per shot reduced to 17 (25).
 NOTE: This helps differentiate Shodans from Levelers. Previously, in most situations, they performed as well as or worse than Leveleres, but rarely better. This gives them a range advantage at the cost of some of their firepower, while keeping their low armor weakness.
 Arm Light Laser Tower armor increased to 216 (162).
 Arm Light Laser Tower and Turtle weapon [ARM_LIGHTLASER] damage reduced to 60 (81) and energy per shot reduced to 22 (30).
 Arm Sentinel armor increased to 1080 (810).
 Arm Sentinel and Arm Fortification HLT Post weapon [ARM_LASERH1] damage reduced to 684 (866) and energy per shot reduced to 253 (320).
 Arm Beamer armor increased to 784 (588).
 Arm Beamer weapon [TAWF001_weapon] damage reduced to 93 (187) and energy per shot reduced to 60 (120).
 NOTE: This reduces the overall firepower to 2/3s what it normally would be, to compensate for the fact that the Beamer weapon can hit multiple targets with a single shot.
 Arm Stingray energy cost increased to 1680 (1175), metal cost increased to 306 (214), build time increased to 9166 (6410), and armor increased to 816 (659).
 Arm Stingray and Core Thunderbolt weapon [CORFHLT_LASER] damage increased to 705 (669) and energy per shot increased to 247 (234).
 NOTE: The Stingray and Thunderbolt were getting more damage than they should be, so I increased their costs to put them roughly where they should be.
 Core Light Laser Tower armor increased to 224 (168).
 Core Light Laser Tower, HLLT, and Bear weapon [CORE_LIGHTLASER] damage reduced to 65 (87) and energy per shot reduced to 24 (32).
 Core Gaat Gun armor increased to 1120 (840).
 Core Gaat Gun and Core Fortification HLT Post weapon [CORE_LASERH1] damage reduced to 764 (968) and energy per shot reduced to 287 (363).
 Core HLLT armor increased to 979 (732).
 Core Exploiter armor increased to 572 (428).
 Core Exploiter, Envoy, and Arm Hulk weapon [EXPLOITER_LASER] damage reduced to 66 (99) and energy per shot reduced to 21 (31).

 Core Fortification HLT Post armor increased to 5281 (4168).
 NOTE: Weapons that use energy to fire have a 50% damage bonus, but most of the energy weapon defenses also had their armor halved and their firepower doubled, compared to the baseline. To make battles a little less quick and "glass cannon" feeling, these have been adjusted to only have 50% less armor and 50% more firepower, instead of halved and doubled.
 Core Moho Exploiter weapon changed to [CORE_DOOMSDAY_SECONDARY] ([CORFHLT_LASER]).
 NOTE: This gives more range to Moho Exploiters, making them more able to defend against longer-ranged attackers.
 Arm Experimental Gantry destroyed explosion changed to [MINE_NUKE] ([ATOMIC_BLASTSML]) and self-destruct explosion changed to [NUCLEAR_MISSILE] ([ATOMIC_BLAST]).
 Core Experimental Gantry destroyed explosion changed to [MINE_NUKE] ([ATOMIC_BLASTSML]) and self-destruct explosion changed to [NUCLEAR_MISSILE] ([ATOMIC_BLAST]).

 Core Juggernaut weapon [JUGGER_FIRE] damage reduced to 847 (1271).
 Core Krogoth weapon [CORKROG_FIRE] reload reduced to 1295 (1943).
 NOTE: This reduces the firepower per metal ratio of all Kbots to 2/3 what it was. This should help battles to not be so "glass cannon-y" and give more time for players to react to damage taken.
 Arm Zipper armor increased to 963 (741) and line of sight increased to 550 (360).
 Core Pyro armor increased to 1094 (838) and line of sight increased to 500 (360).
 NOTE: Like the Arm Peewee and Core A.K., the Zipper and Pyro's faster speed no longer comes at the expense of their armor.

 Core Tremor speed reduced to 2.448 (2.693).
 Core Intruder speed reduced to 2.455 (2.7).
 NOTE: This reduces vehicle speeds by 10%. This should make them a little less difficult to engage and target.
 Arm Vulcan weapon [RANGE_VULC] changed to [RANGE_BERTHA].
 Core Buzzsaw weapon [RANGE_BUZZ] changed to [RANGE_TIMMY].
 NOTE: This is to free up a couple of weapon slots. The range on the Bertha is the same as the Vulcan, and the range on the Intimidator the same as the Buzzsaw.
 Weapons removed:
 [RANGE_VULC] ID=48;
 [RANGE_BUZZ] ID=127;
 Weapon added:
 [GATE_RANGE] ID=127; (This is for the Galactic Gates. See below!)
 Added Arm and Core Galactic Gates with teleportation functionality to build menus:
 Arm and Core Galactic Gates are now buildable by advanced construction units and can be used to teleport units between themselves. Build two, then select one and have it "attack" (link button) the other, then vice-versa. Once you see the directional arrows, you'll know it's ready to teleport units. Just walk them into the circle around the Galactic Gate, and it will appear next to the other gate. Movement waypoints are canceled when a unit is teleported, so it won't immediately try to go somewhere else.
 Big thanks to Wotan of the Total Annihilation: Escalation mod for giving permission for us to use these units with their impressive scripts!
 September 2, 2023
 TA:T v2.0 Beta 78:
 Made the following changes to allow the bunker a bigger footprint and still be buildable by the Nanolathe Platform. This also might help with the issue of units inside occasionally not being able to fire out of the bunker.
 Arm and Core Nanolathe Platform footprint increased to 5x5 (3x3), yardmap changed to YardMap=ooooo occco occco occco ooooo; (YardMap=ooo oco ooo;), and horizontal model size scaled up 2.25 times bigger.
 Arm and Core Advanced Fortification Nanolathe Turret model size scaled up 1.5 times bigger.
 Renamed TINY2 movement class to NANOTURRET and changed the footprint from 1x1 to 3x3.
 Added new movement class NANOTURRETSMALL and set the footprint to 2x2.
 Changed movement class to NANOTURRETSMALL for the following:
 Arm and Core Nanolathe Turret
 Arm and Core Repair Nanolathe Turret
 NOTE: The 2x2 footprint for NANOTURRETSMALL allows repair turrets and regular turrets to fit inside bunkers that have a 2x2 footprint restriction.
 Changed movement class to NANOTURRET for the following:
 Arm and Core Fortification Nanolathe Turret
 Arm and Core Advanced Fortification Nanolathe Turret
 Arm Courier energy cost increased to 4636 (3709), metal cost increased to 246 (197), build time increased to 6321 (5057), and armor increased to 9389 (7509).
 Core Emissary energy cost increased to 4779 (3823), metal cost increased to 254 (203), build time increased to 6676 (5341), and armor increased to 10647 (8515).
 Arm Courier and Core Emissary scripts changed to require carrying at least four units to be able to fire their weapon (one).
 Arm Courier weapon changed to [MED_EMG] ([PEEWEE_EMG]).
 Core Emissary weapon changed to [VENOM_LASER] ([AK_LASER]).
 NOTE: The Courier and Emissary now use the Banshee and Venom weapons instead of the Peewee and A.K. weapons, increasing their firepower along with their cost.
 Arm Banshee weapon [MED_EMG] turret changed to 1 (0).
 Core Venom weapon [VENOM_LASER] turret=1 added.
 Arm Banshee and Core Venom script now include AimPrimary section.
 NOTE: The Arm Courier and Core Emissary can only fire while they are carrying at least four units inside. Their scripts do this by preventing the "aim" section of the script from running while they are empty.
 When they got the Banshee and Venom weapons, they were suddenly able to fire while empty, because the those weapons had turret set to 0, and therefore didn't require an aim section in the script.
 I changed the weapons to use turret=1, but then the Banshee and Venom wouldn't fire, because they didn't have an aim section in their script (since they hadn't needed one). Once I added it, they were able to fire normally again.
 Arm Condor armor increased to 4964 (3309) and description changed to "Multi-Unit Lightly Armed Air Transport (capacity 1000 metal)" ("Multi-Unit Lightly Armed Air Transport (capacity 6 units)").
 Core Vindicator armor increased to 5754 (3836) and description changed to "Multi-Unit Lightly Armed Air Transport (capacity 1000 metal)" ("Multi-Unit Lightly Armed Air Transport (capacity 6 units)").
 Arm Peewee armor increased to 278 (208) and line of sight increased to 650 (480).
 Arm Peewee and Condor weapon [PEEWEE_EMG] reload reduced to 0.457 (0.467).
 Core A.K. armor increased to 324 (247) and line of sight increased to 600 (480).
 Core A.K. and Vindicator weapon [AK_LASER] reload increased to 0.505 (0.495).
 Arm Rocko and Core Storm weapon [KBOT_ROCKET] added:
 turnrate=5000;
 guidance=1;
 tracks=1;
 Arm Janus weapon [JANUS_ROCKET] added:
 turnrate=5000;
 guidance=1;
 tracks=1;
 NOTE: This gives their rockets slight tracking, helping them to hit moving targets.
 Arm Jeffy armor increased to 458 (305).
 Arm Jeffy weapon [ARM_LASER] damage reduced to 18 (27).
 Core Weasel armor increased to 525 (350).
 Core Weasel weapon [CORE_LASER] damage reduced to 20 (30).
 NOTE: Jeffies and Weasels still seem too strong at raiding, so they have been put back to standard armor and firepower, instead of 50% less armor and 50% more firepower.
 MaxWaterDepth increased to 8 (0) for the following metal extractors:
 Arm Metal Extractor
 Core Metal Extractor
 Arm Twilight
 Core Exploiter
 Arm Moho Mine
 Core Moho Mine
 Arm Moho Twilight
 Core Moho Exploiter
 NOTE: This will allow the building of extractors on underwater metal patches that are in very shallow water. The extractors will still be partially above water, allowing for surface units to attack them.
 KBOTSS2 and TANKDS2 movement classes MaxSlope reduced to 27 (32).
 These are movement classes for Kbots and amphibious Kbots. At 32 they were able to climb up and down seemingly impassably steep ridges/cliffs in some spots on maps, so this should help with that.
 Core Leveler weapon [CORLEVLR_WEAPON] edge effectiveness reduced to 0.333 (0.5).
 Arm Hammer script vertical turret speed increased to 180 (45).
 NOTE: This makes them raise their turret faster, which helps off-set the delay from their cannon cases sliding back.
 Arm Hammer and Core Thud weapon [ARM_HAM] area of effect increased to 128 (64), edge effectiveness increased to 0.1 (0), and weapon velocity increased to 400 (300).
 NOTE: For whatever reason, the 300 weapon velocity seemed to impair their accuracy, even for closer targets, so this should help them hit more effectively, and the increased area of effect will make near misses more damaging.
 August 26, 2023
 TA:T v2.0 Beta 77:
 Arm Kbot Lab energy cost increased to 1247 (831), metal cost increased to 510 (340), and build time increased to 10200 (6800).
 Core Kbot Lab energy cost increased to 1292 (862), metal cost increased to 529 (353), and build time increased to 10847 (7231).
 Arm Advanced Kbot Lab energy cost reduced to 43628 (58170), metal cost reduced to 3570 (4760), and build time reduced to 71400 (95200).
 Core Advanced Kbot Lab energy cost reduced to 45229 (60305), metal cost reduced to 3701 (4935), and build time reduced to 75923 (101230).
 NOTE: This puts Kbot labs at 75% of their original cost.
 NOTE: Previously, Peewees were almost 1/4 the cost of a Flash tank (3.85 Peewees per Flash). This changes that to about 3 Peewees per Flash, which is about a 28% increase in cost. This was done to most Kbots, increasing their cost, armor, and firepower by about 28%. The idea is to make Kbots a bit more robust while still keeping their "cheaper/more units for the cost" feel, and to help them feel more competitive compared to vehicles.
 Arm Construction Kbot is unchanged.
 Arm Peewee energy cost increased to 333 (259), metal cost increased to 35 (27), build time increased to 881 (686), and armor increased to 208 (162).
 Arm Peewee, Courier, and Condor weapon [PEEWEE_EMG] damage increased to 15 (12) and reload reduced to 0.467 (0.48).
 Arm Jethro energy cost increased to 333 (259), metal cost increased to 35 (27), build time increased to 881 (686), and armor increased to 150 (117).
 Arm Jethro and Core Crasher weapon [ARMKBOT_MISSILE] damage increased to 50 (39) (Special damages adjusted accordingly).
 Arm Rocko energy cost increased to 732 (570), metal cost increased to 76 (59), build time increased to 1937 (1509), and armor increased to 600 (467).

 Core Shiva energy cost increased to 34800 (27104), metal cost increased to 595 (463), build time increased to 15671 (12205), and armor increased to 2605 (2027).
 Core Shiva weapon [SHIVA_CANNON] damage increased to 1073 (835).

 Core Aries energy cost increased to 5360 (4175), metal cost increased to 184 (143), build time increased to 5819 (4532), and armor increased to 846 (656).
 Adjusted "Weight" values (For Arm Condor and Core Vindicator carrying capacity) for the above Kbots based on the new metal costs.
 Arm Jeffy armor increased to 305 (230).
 Arm Jeffy weapon [ARM_LASER] damage reduced to 27 (36).
 Core Weasel armor increased to 350 (263).
 Core Weasel weapon [CORE_LASER] damage reduced to 30 (40).
 NOTE: Previously, Jeffies and Weasels had doubled firepower and halved armor, but seemed to be too strong at early raiding. Instead, this puts Jeffies and Weasels at 50% more firepower and 50% less armor than the baseline.
 August 24 2023
 TA:T v2.0 Beta 76a:
 Arm Kbot Lab energy cost reduced to 831 (1662), metal cost reduced to 340 (680), and build time reduced to 6800 (13600).
 Core Kbot Lab energy cost reduced to 862 (1723), metal cost reduced to 353 (705), and build time reduced to 7231 (14462).
 August 5, 2023
 TA:T v2.0 Beta 76:
 Core Enforcer weapon [CORE_ROY] changed to [ARM_ROY].
 Core Enforcer armor increased to 8394 (7900).
 [CORE_ROY] weapon removed and ID 65 given to [CORWOLV_GUN] (ID was 253).
 [ARMPB_WEAPON] ID changed to 141 (254).
 Core Warlord weapon [CORE_BATSLASER] changed to [CORE_DOOMSDAY_SECONDARY].
 Core Warlord armor increased to 44347 (44165).
 [CORE_BATSLASER] weapon removed and ID 93 given to [COR_TAAR_RC] (ID was 255).
 NOTE:
 Weapon IDs 253, 254, and 255 are supposed to be left unused for tree burning and feature destruction on maps, so I moved them to different IDs.
 Arm Jeffy speed reduced to 4.337 (4.714), acceleration reduced to 0.035 (0.04), and brake rate increased to 0.035 (0.04).
 Arm Jeffy weapon [ARM_LASER] damage increased to 36 (18).
 Core Weasel speed reduced to 3.943 (4.286), acceleration reduced to 0.03175 (0.036), and brake rate reduced to 0.03175 (0.036).
 Core Weasel weapon [CORE_LASER] damage increased to 40 (20).
 NOTE: Jeffies and Weasels have half the standard armor for their cost, so now they have twice the firepower for their cost. In return, they lost a bit of their speed and maneuverability. Hopefully this will make them more viable for light raiding and hit and run attacks. They'll give more firepower than the same metal spent in Flashes or Instigators, but with much less armor, making them best for raiding undefended targets and leaving before reinforcements can arrive. Their scouting and line of sight roles should remain the same.
 Arm Moho Twilight weapon [ARMTICK_PARALYZER] renamed to [MOHO_TWILIGHT_EMP_GRENADE]
 Arm Condor and Core Vindicator carrying capacity changed to "weight" system:
 Previously, they could carry a set number of units (6, specifically), and it didn't matter what kind of units they were.
 Now, they can carry a set amount of "weight", currently 1000, and each unit has a specific weight, roughly corresponding to their metal cost. Units are generally rounded to the nearest 25 metal (for Kbots) or 50 metal (for vehicles).
 For example, Arm Flashes and Core Insigators have 100 weight, so a Condor or Vindicator could carry 10 of them (1000 / 100 = 10). Stumpies and Raiders weigh 200, so only 5 could be carried. Peewees and A.K.s weigh 25, so 40 could be carried. Of course, you can mix and match, carrying 2 Stumpies (2 * 200 = 400 weight), 4 Flashes (4 * 100 = 400 weight), and 8 Peewees (8 * 25 = 200 weight), for a total of 1000 weight.
 This should allow for transporting larger groups of cheaper units and smaller groups of heavier units, while still carrying approximately the same total "value" of units.
 Because of this, unloading might take longer (While carrying a lot of units), so:
 Arm Condor and Core Vindicator are no longer invincible when doing an emergency drop (automatically unloading units when almost destroyed). They will still attempt to automatically unload units when almost destroyed, but can be damaged and destroyed while doing so.
 The emergency-drop itself now triggers when taking fire while under 25% health left, instead of 10%.
 Core Vindicator explosion changed to [MEDIUM_UNITEX] ([BIG_UNITEX]), self-destruct explosion changed to [MEDIUM_UNIT] ([BIG_UNIT), and cruising altitude increased to 90 (80).
 July 30, 2023
 TA:T v2.0 Beta 75:
 Fixed the Arm Warrior showing up twice on the Arm Kbot Lab menu (Replaced ARMWAR.TDF with a 0-byte version).
 Last version (Beta 74) put in a palette fix for the "red edges" issue.
 Gantry units have been brought in line with the standard Kbot and vehicle armor/firepower ratios. Additionally, all gantry units have had their energy cost increased 50%, making them cost three times as much energy per metal as advanced units.
 Arm Requiter energy cost increased to 258951 (172634).
 Core Precluder energy cost increased to 265473 (176982).
 Arm Requiter and Core Precluder weapon [MOBILE_TACNUKE] reload reduced to 60 (90).
 Arm Avatar energy cost increased to 144396 (96264).
 Core Mauler energy cost increased to 149171 (99447).
 Arm Avatar and Core Mauler weapon [MOBILE_LRPC_CANNON] reload reduced to 4.775 (7.1625).
 Arm Antarion energy cost increased to 444498 (296332) and armor increased to 38746 (25830).
 Core Gargoyle energy cost increased to 489429 (326286) and armor increased to 46884 (31256).
 Added new movement class: SPID4.
 NOTE: This is a 4x4 unit spider movement class.
 Arm Vanguard movement class set to SPID4 (ATMECH).
 NOTE: This allows Vanguards to climb steep surfaces like Recluses, Termites, and other similar units.
 Arm Razorback metal cost reduced to 667 (1000), build time reduced to 37403 (56104), and description changed to "Steep-Terrain Battle Mech" ("All-Terrain Battle Mech").
 Core Karganeth metal cost reduced to 691 (1037), build time reduced to 39820 (59730), and description changed to "Steep-Terrain Assault Mech" ("All-Terrain Assault Mech").
 NOTE: This is because, while Razorbacks and Karganeths can climb much steeper slopes than most units, they cannot "spider-climb" like other "all-terrain" units.
 Arm Vanguard metal cost reduced to 1179 (1768) and build time reduced to 66119 (99178).
 Core Juggernaut metal cost reduced to 3599 (5398) and build time reduced to 207264 (310896).
 Arm Bantha metal cost reduced to 2667 (4000) and build time reduced to 149611 (224416).
 Core Krogtaar metal cost reduced to 2765 (4148) and build time reduced to 159284 (238926).
 NOTE: Energy costs are increasing for Gantry units by 50%, so when Gantry Kbots costs were reduced by the same percentage to bring them in line with the standard Kbot ratios, it canceled out and the energy costs did not change, even though metal and build time did.
 Arm Bolo energy cost increased to 645197 (430131) and armor increased to 107356 (95427).
 Arm Bolo and Core Yavac weapon [HELLBORE_CANNON] damage increased to 2136 (1184), energy per shot increased to 1178 (653), and edge effectiveness reduced to 271 (384).
 Core Yavac energy cost increased to 664434 (442956) and armor increased to 131519 (111111).
 Arm Orcone energy cost increased to 1521299 (1217039), metal cost reduced to 8843 (10611), and build time reduced to 496077 (595292).
 Arm Orcone weapon [ARMORCO_FIRE] reload reduced to 1.5976 (2.7).
 Arm Orcone and Core Krogoth weapon [KROG_BEAM] reload reduced to 2.9586 (5.0)
 Arm Orcone and Core Krogoth weapon [CORKROG_ROCKET] damage increased to 7962 (4711), weapon velocity reduced to 415 (525), and weapon timer increased to 1.5 (1).
 Core Krogoth energy cost increased to 1731938 (1385550), metal cost reduced to 10058 (12070), and build time reduced to 579325 (695190).
 Core Krogoth weapon [CORKROG_FIRE] reload reduced to 2.071 (3.5).
 Arm Spider energy cost reduced to 4155 (6134).
 Arm Recluse weapon [ADV_ROCKET] area of effect increased to 192 (144) and tolerance increased to 2000 (1000).
 Arm Penetrator and Arm Bantha weapon [ARMMANNI_WEAPON] reload increased to 5.0676 (3.0), damage increased to 2000 (1184), and energy per shot increased to 1177 (697).
 Arm Beamer weapon [TAWF001_weapon] energy per shot increased to 120 (60).
 Arm Nanolathe Platform added to the build menu for:
 Arm Podger, Bee, and Valiant.
 Core Nanolathe Platform added to the build menu for:
 Core Spoiler, Scorpion, and Limiter.
 NOTE: This will help them in their combat engineer role by allowing them to build a nanoplatform that can be used to make a fortification nanoturret or bunker.
 Added hotkeys for fort turrets.
 Removed paralysis immunity for:
 Arm Antarion, Bantha, Bolo, Millennium, Razorback, Vanguard
 Core Krogtaar, Warlord, Karganeth, Gargoyle, Juggernaut, Yavac
 The same units, plus the Core Intruder, take 0 damage (Are functionally immune) to the following paralyzing weapons (The source of paralysis is too light to affect units this big):
 Arm Spider's [ARM_PARALYZER] weapon
 Core Bladewing's [BLADEWING_LYZER] weapon
 The same units, plus the Core Intruder, take 5% normal damage from the following paralyzing weapons (Units this big are resistant to this source of paralysis), meaning they are only paralyzed for 5% of the normal duration:
 Arm Dragonfly [ARMDFLY_PARALYZER] weapon
 Arm Seahawk and Core Hunter [ARMSEHAK_WEAPON] weapon
 Core Commando [COMMANDOLAS] weapon
 Arm Stiletto [CORGRIPN_BOMB] weapon
 Arm Tick [TICK_EMP] weapon
 Arm EMP mine [EMP_MINE] weapon
 Core Neutron [NEUTRON_MINE] weapon
 Arm Twilight explosion and Arm/Core Spy Kbot [TWILIGHT] weapon
 Arm Moho Twilight [ARMTICK_PARALYZER] weapon
 NOTE: This was already on the changelist back in Beta 19 (Except for the Juggernaut, Bolo, and Yavac), but the paralysis immunity was never removed. Also the Beta 19 change was 10%, not 5%, and the Arm Moho Twilight weapon was 0 like the Spider and Bladewing weapons.
 This means that very large units *can* be stopped with paralysis, but even heavy paralysis weapons will only stop them for a few seconds, meaning you'll need to hit them with a constant barrage or have multiple EMP weapons to keep them locked down.
 This should encourage people to escort their gantry units or have reinforcements standing by, and will give someone without the means of dealing with gantry units a chance to at least slow them down and buy some time.
 The Arm Epoch and Orcone and Core Black Hydra and Krogoth are still completely immune to paralysis.
 Arm Metal Maker energy cost reduced to 125 (150).
 Arm Floating Metal Maker energy cost reduced to 112.5 (135).
 Core Metal Maker energy cost reduced to 137.5 (165).
 Core Floating Metal Maker energy cost reduced to 125 (150).
 NOTE: This should help metal makers to be a bit more viable in the earlier game, while not affecting the efficiency of late-game Moho Metal Makers.
 Arm Albatross and Core Typhoon weapon [ARMSEAP_WEAPON3] non-air unit damage increased to 29 (9).
 Arm Flea weapon [FLEA_LASER] reload increased to 0.75 and damage increased to 12 (8).
 Core Pyro weapon [FLAMETHROWER] reload time reduced to 0.643 (0.655), burst reduced to 9 (11), and damage increased to 12 (10).
 NOTE: The above three weapon changes were made to bring the damage up to at least 12. Weapons that do 10 damage used against units with a damage modifier of 0.167 would still damage them until the unit had at least 5 kills (Veteran level 1), and then the additional damage reduction from that would cause them to do 0 damage to them. 12 damage weapons will continue to damage units with that damage modifier even after they reach full veteran status at 25 kills.
 July 21, 2023
 TA:T v2.0 Beta 74:
 Arm LLT and Bear weapon [ARM_LIGHTLASER] range increased to 800 (500) and damage reduced to 81 (129).
 Core LLT, HLLT, and Turtle weapon [CORE_LIGHTLASER] range increased to 800 (500) and damage reduced to 87 (139).
 NOTE: Despite being one of the most cheap and basic defenses, LLTs weren't used as often as you'd expect. With this change they'll be able to cover a larger area, albeit with lower damage output, and should just generally be a better all-around cheap defense. The difference between a light laser tower and a heavy laser tower isn't range, but how hard they hit.
 Arm Sentinel energy cost increased to 2228 (1617), metal cost increased to 405 (294), build time increased to 12150 (8820), and armor increased to 810 (588).
 Arm Sentinel and Arm Fortification Wall HLT Post weapon [ARM_LASERH1] damage increased to 866 (629), and energy per shot increased to 320 (232).
 Arm Fortification Wall HLT Post armor reduced to 4048 (5575).
 Core Gaat Gun energy cost increased to 2310 (1672), metal cost increased to 420 (304), build time increased to 12923 (9354), and armor increased to 840 (608).
 Core Gaat Gun and Core Fortification Wall HLT Post weapon [CORE_LASERH1] damage increased to 968 (701), and energy per shot increased to 363 (263).
 Core Fortification Wall HLT Post armor reduced to 4168 (5760).
 NOTE: Heavy Laser Towers now cost 5 times as much as an LLT, and hit even harder than before. With some vet status from kills, it can even destroy Flashes and Instigators in a single hit.
 Arm Beamer description changed to "Piercing Energy Beam Turret" ("Beam Laser Turret").
 Arm Beamer weapon [TAWF001_weapon] range increased to 800 (675), reload increased to 0.333 (0.15), damage increased to 187 (100), energy per shot increased to 60 (27), and noexplode=1 added.
 NOTE: Beamers previously had more range than HLLTs, but no longer have that distinction. Instead, Beamers fire a piercing beam of energy that can blast through multiple targets in its line of fire, similar to a D-Gun.
 Arm Rocko and Core Storm weapon [KBOT_ROCKET] range reduced to 465 (600), weapontimer reduced to 1.54 (1.987), and damage increased to 261 (202).
 Note: Rockos and Storms were a bit too dominant in Kbot battles, especially considering their cost, even against heavier units like Warriors and Berserkers. Now they'll hit a bit harder, but without quite so much range.
 Arm Fido description changed to "Skirmish/Artillery Kbot.X switches weapons.D targets artillery." ("Skirmish Kbot").
 Arm Radar Tower description changed to "Early Warning System (Radar and line of sight)" ("Early Warning System").
 Arm Floating Radar Tower description changed to "Floating Radar Tower (Radar and line of sight)" ("Floating Radar Tower").
 Arm Sonar Station description changed to "Locates Water Units (Sonar and line of sight)" ("Locates Water Units").
 Arm Advanced Radar Tower description changed to "Long-Range Radar (Increased radar and line of sight)" ("Long-Range Radar").
 Arm Advanced Sonar Station description changed to "Extended Sonar (Increased Sonar and line of sight)" ("Extended Sonar").
 Arm Hyper Radar Tower description changed to "Extreme Long-Range Radar/Jamming/Line of sight" ("Extreme Long-Range Radar/Jamming").
 Arm Spotter description changed to "Radar/Sonar/Line of sight Hovercraft with depthcharges" ("Radar/Sonar Hovercraft with depthcharges").
 Arm Seer description changed to "Radar Vehicle (Radar and line of sight)" ("Radar Vehicle").
 Arm Marky description changed to "Radar Kbot (Radar and line of sight)" ("Radar Kbot").
 Arm Escort description changed to "Radar/Sonar/Line of sight/Jamming Ship" ("Radar/Sonar and Jamming Ship").
 Arm Eagle description changed to "Radar/Sonar/Line of sight Plane" ("Radar/Sonar Plane").
 Arm Seahawk description changed to "Radar/Sonar/Line of sight Seaplane" ("Advanced Radar/Sonar Seaplane").
 Core Radar Tower description changed to "Early Warning System (Radar and line of sight)" ("Early Warning System").
 Core Floating Radar Tower description changed to "Floating Radar Tower (Radar and line of sight)" ("Floating Radar Tower").
 Core Sonar Station description changed to "Locates Water Units (Sonar and line of sight)" ("Locates Water Units").
 Core Advanced Radar Tower description changed to "Long-Range Radar (Increased radar and line of sight)" ("Long-Range Radar").
 Core Advanced Sonar Station description changed to "Extended Sonar (Increased Sonar and line of sight)" ("Locates Water Units").
 Core Hyper Radar Tower description changed to "Extreme Long-Range Radar/Jamming/Line of sight" ("Extreme Long-Range Radar/Jamming").
 Core Watcher description changed to "Radar/Sonar/Line of sight Hovercraft with depthcharges" ("Radar/Sonar Hovercraft with depthcharges").
 Core Informant description changed to "Radar Vehicle (Radar and line of sight)" ("Radar Vehicle").
 Core Voyeur description changed to "Radar Kbot (Radar and line of sight)" ("Radar Kbot").
 Core Phantom description changed to "Radar/Sonar/Line of sight/Jamming Ship" ("Radar/Sonar and Jamming Ship").
 Core Vulture description changed to "Radar/Sonar/Line of sight Plane" ("Radar/Sonar Plane").
 Core Hunter description changed to "Radar/Sonar/Line of sight Seaplane" ("Advanced Radar/Sonar Seaplane").
 NOTE: This is just to make it clear that radar/sonar units also give much better line of sight, which may not be immediately obvious.
 Arm Twilight decloak radius increased to 60 (30).
 NOTE: This means Twilights will now decloak if an enemy unit is almost touching them.
 Arm Condor and Core Vindicator weapon [MUAT_UNLOAD] range increased to 150 (10).
 NOTE: This "weapon" is actually used for unloading units, so increasing the range means they have a bigger margin of error for dropping off units and don't have to slow down as much to do it.
 June 17, 2023
 TA:T v2.0 Beta 73:
 Arm Lemming energy cost reduced to 889 (2211) and build time reduced to 1213 (3016).
 NOTE: Compared to Arm Invaders (Another mobile bomb unit), the energy per metal ratio was much too high on Lemmings. This should make them more accessible, but still energy intensive.
 Arm Gremlin destroyed explosion set to ARMLEMM_KILLED (MEDIUM_UNITEX) and self-destruct count down set to 1 (5). Their self-destruct damage is still unchanged (And more damaging).
 NOTE: This allows Gremlins to be used more like armed cloaking Lemmings. If there are defenseless targets nearby, you can decloak and use their weapons. If destroyed, they blow up like Lemmings. Otherwise, you can self-destruct them for even more damage and not leaving wreckage.
 [SMALL_UNITEX] weapon area of effect reduced to 173 (200).
 [MEDIUM_UNITEX] weapon area of effect reduced to 346 (400).
 [BIG_UNITEX] weapon area of effect reduced to 520 (600).
 [SMALL_UNIT] weapon area of effect reduced to 225 (260).
 [MEDIUM_UNIT] weapon area of effect reduced to 450 (520).
 [BIG_UNIT] weapon area of effect reduced to 676 (780).
 [SMALL_BUILDINGEX] weapon area of effect reduced to 346 (400).
 [MEDIUM_BUILDINGEX] weapon area of effect reduced to 520 (600).
 [LARGE_BUILDINGEX] weapon area of effect reduced to 693 (800).
 [ESTOR_BUILDINGEX] weapon area of effect reduced to 693 (800).
 [SMALL_BUILDING] weapon area of effect reduced to 450 (520).
 [MEDIUM_BUILDING] weapon area of effect reduced to 676 (780).

 Arm Decade and Core Supporter weapon [CORVETTE_GAUSS] range reduced to 450 (600) and damage increased to 125 (94).
 NOTE: This helps accentuate the role of corvettes/gunboats as focused fighting ships good at dealing damage, as opposed to PT boats who also have an anti-air weapon, or the destroyers who have depthcharges and a longer range cannon. They should be able to generally defeat their cost in either PT boats or destroyers, at the cost of lacking those ships' flexibility.

 WHAT IS THIS
 tdraw.dll is an upgrade for Total Annihilation.  It patches the game to fix many bugs and add many features.
 It is an integral component of the TA Community Patch, the other parts being tplayx.dll (the recorder) and server.exe (the replayer).
 tdraw.dll has a long provenance dating back to the work of SY_Yeha, who introduced whiteboard markers and the TA Hook and new hotkeys to TA.
 Later work by Xpoy extended hotkey support, added new shortcut commands, uni-code font support, megamap, weapon-id crack (not present in current release) and porting music patch from GOG version,
 and later support was provided by Rime.
 The present release includes contributions from Axle and FunkyFresh, and owes a debt to TAG_Venom for extensive testing and critical feeback, and to Gamma and Wotan for further testing and feature suggestions.
 CONFIGURATIONS
 The release .zip files are annotated with a build configuration tag: "tdraw-<config>.zip".  The various configurations are:
  * tdraw-full.zip: all features enabled
  * tdraw-escalation.zip: built for TA:Escalation.  disables the following features
    - mex snap
    - that is all
  * tdraw-minimal.zip: disables the following features
    - mex/wreck snap
    - options for construction units to stay put when guarding
    - options for construction units to only reclaim or onlt assist while patrolling
    - auto kickout construction units that are blocking another builder
    - weather report at top of screen
    - sync wind speed between players
    - map DT's always visible.
 INSTALLATION
 Drop tdraw.dll into your TA directory.
 Ensure the following files are also present in your TA directory:
 - ddraw.dll (available from https://github.com/FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw)
 - totala.ini
 You may need to rename totala.ini and tdraw.dll to whatever your mod is using.  See below for reference.  For other mods, please consult with the mod maintainers.

 NEW FEATURES IN DETAIL:
 - Start positions
  Start positions are now assigned based on battleroom teams/alliances.
  With fixed positions, host and their team are assigned the odd positions in the order that they joined the lobby.
  With random positions, host and their team are randomly assigned the even or odd positions, and they are assigned in random order.
  The Teams icons now function correctly, so they can be used to arrange teams in the battleroom if desired.
  This is optional, it is perfectly fine to arrange teams by creating alliances too.
 - Autoteam
  In the battleroom, host can type "+autoteam" to have teams assigned automatically.
  These teams will then determine the start positions as described above.
  If launched from TAF, the battleroom +autoteam will assign autobalanced teams based on the player rating.
  Otherwise teams are assigned randomly.
  The +randomteam command is available to use should you prefer random teams over autobalanced teams.
  Alternatively, if host types "+autoteam" in-game, alliances are created based on actual start positions.
  For more than 2 teams, host can type eg "+autoteam 3" to create the desired number of teams.
 - MexSnap and WreckSnap
  This patch includes ability to snap mexes and geos to the nearest metal or geo patch (MexSnap),
  and to snap reclaim commands to the nearest reclaim (WreckSnap).
  While holding down shift, press q and e alternately to switch between building mexes and reclaiming features.
  If Mex/WreckSnap is temporarily interfering with your wishes,
  you can hold down alt to override it.
  The override key can be configured in the ctrl-f2 options menu.
  The Mex/WreckSnap radii can also be configured independently via the ctrl-f2 options menu.
  Press ctrl-f2, click on the "MexSnap" or "WreckSnap" field and press a number 0 to 9.
  0 disables the Mex/WreckSnap and a larger radius results in snapping to features further away.
  Note that Mex/WreckSnap is disabled by default.
  It needs to be enabled by the mod maintainer.
  If your Mex/WreckSnap radius shows as "NA" in the ctrl-f2 menu,
  it is likely that Mex/WreckSnap hasn't been enabled by your mod maintainer.
 - Move Queued Orders
  After queueing a build order or a move order,
  you can later move them around by selecting the unit
  and left mouse dragging the order to a new position.
 - Construction Units Patrol Behaviour
  Patrol behaviour of contructions units is modified depending on their movement orders:
    Hold Position: your construction units will only look for reclaim
    Maneuvre/roam: your construction units will both look for reclaim and for units that need repair or assist
  Mash the 'v' key to get the desired movement order and then set a patrol route.
 - Neutral unit and/or per-player additional unit spawn
  To enable this feature add a "[units]" section under the "[Schema 0]" section of your map's .ota file.  eg
      [Schema 0]
          {
          ....
          [units]
            {
            [unit0]
                {
                Unitname=ARMHLT;
                Ident=;
                XPos=3164;
                YPos=0;
                ZPos=2250;
                Player=11;
                HealthPercentage=100;
                }
            [unit0]
                {
                Unitname=ARMPEEP;
                Ident=;
                XPos=268;
                YPos=0;
                ZPos=384;
                Player=1;
                HealthPercentage=100;
                CreationCountdown=30;
                InitialMission=p 1750 1828;
                }
            }
  These additional units will spawn in for skirmish/multiplayer.
  The "Player" key in the .ota file refers to the map position 1..10.
  Whichever player is spawned into these positions will receive ownership of the respective units.
  You can set Player=11.  If any Player=11 units are defined, then the last player (eg the 6th in a 3v3)
  receives ownership of the Player=11 units as long as they are an AI.  He does not receive ownership of any other units.
  If a player receives any units by this mechanism, they won't receive a commander.
  If you want the player to have a commander,
  then either don't define any units for that position,
  or include a commander unit in the list of units.
  The required fields for each unit are UnitName, XPos, ZPos and Player.
  YPos and HealthPercentage are ignored.
  Optional CreationCountdown is in seconds and InitialMission works.
  Optional Ident makes it possible to refer to the unit in InitialMission of another unit.
  You'll have to look at eg totala4.hpi/maps/*.OTA for examples of InitialMission scripts to copy.
 - Vote-to-Reject
  When a player is to be rejected during an in-progress multiplayer game, the rejection must now be
  approved by a majority vote rather than taking effect immediately.
  Manual reject (initiated via Tab → Control → player → reject prompt):
    The proposer's YES is counted automatically.  All other non-target players are shown a vote dialog
    and may click YES or NO.  The reject passes if at least 2/3 of non-target active players vote YES
    (minimum 1).  If the target has a teammate, that teammate must vote YES for the reject to pass.
    If the vote fails by a NO majority it is cancelled immediately; otherwise the vote times out after
    60 seconds with no effect and a 90-second cooldown is imposed before another vote can be proposed.
  Timeout reject (triggered automatically when a player stops responding for 30 seconds):
    All players are shown the vote dialog.  The reject passes if at least 2 players vote YES
    (or just 1 in a 2-player game), provided at least one ally of the timed-out player has voted YES.
    If a NO majority makes the threshold unreachable, voting closes early and the player is
    automatically rejected when the 90-second vote timer expires.
  The vote dialog:
    Each active vote appears as a row in an overlay dialog at the top-centre of the screen.
    Each row shows the vote subject ("X has timed out - vote to reject?" or
    "VOTE: X wants to reject Y"), the current tally (Ny/Nn/total, countdown), and YES / NO buttons.
    Clicking YES or NO casts your vote and broadcasts it to all other players.
    For timeout votes where the local player is an ally of the timed-out player, a ".take" button
    is also shown.  Clicking it broadcasts the chat message ".take", which the recorder (tplayx.dll)
    interprets as the player taking over the timed-out player's units.  Once the recorder confirms
    the take, the corresponding vote is automatically cancelled.
 - Per-Unit Veterancy Customization
  This patch introduces new optional keys for unit definition files (units/*.fbi)
  that allow you to customize veterancy behavior for individual units.
  Example
    [UNITINFO]
    {
    UnitName=ARMMART;
    ...
    VeterancyThresholds=6 12 18 24 30; // OTA default: 5 10 15 20 25
    VeterancyAccuracyBuffRate=3; // OTA default: 12
    }
  New Keys
  - VeterancyThresholds:
    Sets the number of kills required to reach each veterancy level (VetLevel).
    Example: "6 12 18 24 30" means:
    - 6 kills for VetLevel 1
    - 12 kills for VetLevel 2
    - 18 kills for VetLevel 3
    - etc.
    OTA's default thresholds are "5 10 15 20 25".
  - VeterancyAccuracyBuffRate:
    Controls how quickly a unit’s weapon accuracy improves with kills, independently of veterancy levels.
    - Accuracy starts at a factor of 1 with 0 kills.
    - This factor increases by +1 every VeterancyAccuracyBuffRate kills.
    - Formula: accuracyFactor = 1 + floor(kills / VeterancyAccuracyBuffRate)
    - OTA’s default rate is 12.
    - Set to zero to disable accuracy buff altogether
  Veterancy Effects (Unchanged)
  This patch does NOT change what veterancy levels do, only how they are earned.
  For reference, each VetLevel in OTA gives:
  - Capture cost: +10% worker time needed to capture the unit
  - Damage taken: -4% damage received
  - Damage dealt: +6% damage dealt
  - Target tracking: improved weapon target tracking (effect uncertain)
  - Reload time: -6% weapon reload time
  - Accuracy buff: improved firing accuracy (randomness reduced by an increasing factor)
  Note: Reload time also appears to be affected by the unit’s health.
  Veterancy Limits
  OTA limits:
  - Capture cost: no limit
  - Damage taken: up to 5 levels
  - Damage dealt: up to 5 levels
  - Target tracking: up to 1 level
  - Reload time: up to 5 levels
  - Accuracy buff: no limit
  With this patch:
  - Capture cost: no limit
    Beyond the last specified threshold, kill requirements are extrapolated linearly from the last two thresholds.
  - Damage taken: up to 25 levels or the number of VeterancyThresholds, whichever is lower
  - Damage dealt: up to the number of VeterancyThresholds
  - Target tracking: up to 1 level
  - Reload time: up to 16 levels or the number of VeterancyThresholds, whichever is lower
  - Accuracy buff: no limit
 - Weapon TDF flags: nottoair, nottounderwater and surfacefire
  Two new optional keys for weapon definition files (weapons/*.tdf) give mod developers
  finer control over which unit types a weapon can target.
  nottoair=1
    The weapon cannot target or fire at flying units (units with an airborne movement state).
    Useful for weapons that are physically implausible against air targets, such as depth charges
    or large ballistic artillery.
    Example:
      [DEPTH_CHARGE]
      {
      ...
      nottoair=1;
      }
  nottounderwater=1
    The weapon cannot target or fire at fully-submerged units (a target whose top is at or below
    sea level, such as a dived submarine).  Ordinary weapons already cannot reach underwater
    targets; this flag is meant for waterweapon=1 weapons, letting them hit surface ships while
    leaving submerged units to torpedoes and depth charges.  It is the underwater mirror of
    nottoair.
    Example:
      [NAVAL_GUN]
      {
      ...
      waterweapon=1;
      nottounderwater=1;
      }
  surfacefire=1
    Used together with waterweapon=1.  Normally a water weapon can only target submarines and
    other units that are at or below sea level.  With surfacefire=1 the weapon can also target
    surface units above sea level, such as hovercraft or land units near the shoreline.
    Both auto-aim and manual targeting are affected.
    Example:
      [TORPEDO_SURFACE]
      {
      ...
      waterweapon=1;
      surfacefire=1;
      }
 - Building rotation
  While a building is selected for placement, press '/' to cycle through the
  facings the unit allows.  Shift may be held while pressing '/' so you can
  rotate without lifting the line-build modifier.  Most buildings only allow
  their default facing, in which case the key does nothing.  The rotate key
  can be reassigned in the ctrl-f2 menu.
  Alternatively, hold the snap-override key (default Alt — also configurable
  in ctrl-f2) and scroll the mouse wheel: forward = counter-clockwise, back
  = clockwise.  This leaves plain mouse-wheel free for the megamap.
  A third option is built into the build menu itself.  Each rotatable
  structure button has a small overlay marker on each cardinal it can
  face (S = bottom edge, E = right, N = top, W = left).  Click the
  button on the corresponding edge to enter placement mode with that
  rotation already chosen — clicks in the centre of the button select
  the unit normally and keep the previously chosen rotation.  Tick or
  un-tick "Build menu rotation overlay" in the ctrl-f2 menu to enable
  or disable the overlay (when off, the build menu is stock vanilla
  and clicks behave as if it were never installed).
  Mod authors can replace the built-in chevron art by dropping a 4-
  frame GAF at  anims/buildrotate.gaf  beside their other animations.
  Frames are interpreted in the order  S, E, N, W  (matching the
  rotation index), and each frame's hotspot is anchored just inside
  the cardinal margin band of the build button so the artwork sits
  cleanly inside the button rather than straddling the edge.  An
  optional second file  anims/buildrotateclick.gaf  (also 4 frames in
  the same order) is blitted in place of the idle GAF for the brief
  click-feedback flash; if absent, no flash is rendered (mods opting
  into a custom GAF need to ship the companion click GAF themselves
  if they want one).  When neither GAF loads the built-in chevrons
  are used.  A reference generator and example .gaf files live under
  tools/make_buildrotate_gaf.py in the source tree.
  Mod developers opt-in per unit by adding a "Rotations=" key to the
  [UNITINFO] section of the FBI listing the cardinal letters they want
  to allow, e.g.
      [UNITINFO]
      {
      ...
      Rotations=SENW;
      }
  Limitation: a few mods script their Create() function to forcibly TURN
  the unit body (e.g. so structures face the centre of the map).  Such
  scripts run after the build cursor's rotation is applied and overwrite
  it, so the Rotations= key has no visible effect on those units.
 - Nanoframe ghost preview
  A small green animated preview of the building you're about to place
  is drawn inside the build rectangle.  It rotates in step with the
  rotate-build key, and disappears on red (can't-build) squares.  When
  shift-line / shift-row building, the preview is shown at every
  rectangle in the row.
  Mod authors with upgrade-style units (where the 3DO model contains
  both the basic and upgraded geometry, and the COB script controls
  visibility at runtime) can list the pieces that should appear in the
  preview by adding a "PreviewPieces=" key to [UNITINFO]:
      [UNITINFO]
      {
      ...
      PreviewPieces=base, turret, sleeve, barrel, cover;
      }
  Names are matched case-insensitively against 3DO piece names; comma,
  space, or semicolon may be used as separators.  When the key is set,
  ONLY listed pieces are rendered.  When the key is omitted (the usual
  case), every piece is rendered minus a small hardcoded set of
  cosmetic / firing-effect names (flare, flash, muzzle, fire, flame,
  wake).
  Per-rotation overrides are also available — useful when the visible
  pieces should differ by facing.  Use any of:
      PreviewPiecesS=...      facing south  (rotation 0)
      PreviewPiecesE=...      facing east   (rotation 1)
      PreviewPiecesN=...      facing north  (rotation 2)
      PreviewPiecesW=...      facing west   (rotation 3)
  Lookup order for the active rotation:
    1. PreviewPieces<S|E|N|W>=  if set (non-empty), uses ONLY that list.
    2. PreviewPieces=           the default for every rotation.
    3. neither set              every piece minus the ephemeral filter.
  For units whose Create() script auto-rotates the structure toward
  the nearest enemy Commander, the preview can be made to face the
  same direction — preventing the jarring snap when the build commits
  — by adding:
      [UNITINFO]
      {
      ...
      PreviewFaceOpponent=1;
      }
  At each preview frame we find the nearest enemy commander to the
  build cursor (each enemy player's first unit slot, which is the
  commander in all but pathological cases), and snap the line from
  the cursor to that commander to the nearest cardinal (S / E / N /
  W).  PreviewFaceOpponent overrides the Rotations= restriction —
  setting this key is the author's explicit signal that the unit's
  heading is script-driven, so the preview must face whichever
  cardinal the script will pick regardless of what Rotations= permits
  the player to cycle through.
  To avoid leaking enemy positions through fog-of-war scanning, the
  override only applies when the build cursor is within the actual
  builddistance of one of the local player's selected, completed
  construction units (each builder gets its own threshold from its
  FBI builddistance=).  Outside that radius the preview falls back to
  the player's rotate-build selection — same as if PreviewFaceOpponent
  were unset.
  Falls back to the player's rotate-build selection in single-player
  or any case where no enemy commander can be found (e.g. all enemies
  dead).
  Mod authors who want the preview to display a completely different
  model than the unit's actual Object3D= (e.g. a simplified silhouette,
  or the upgraded form of a unit whose 3DO bundles multiple variants)
  can name an alternative 3DO with a "PreviewObject3D=" key:
      [UNITINFO]
      {
      ...
      PreviewObject3D=corarmvp_preview;
      }
  The value is a 3DO base name (no extension); the file is loaded from
  the HPI archive at  objects3d/<name>.3DO  on first use and cached
  for the rest of the game session.  All other preview FBI keys
  (PreviewPieces, PreviewFaceOpponent, etc.) apply to this overridden
  model — piece-name whitelists are matched against the OVERRIDE 3DO's
  piece names, not the unit's real one.
  If the named 3DO can't be found in the HPI, a warning is logged to
  tdrawlog.txt and the preview falls back to the unit's real model;
  no other behaviour is affected.
