Beta 95
|
||||
Summary of changes (For more details and notes, see the full changelog (TAT-v2.0-Beta-Changelog.txt) included in the release):
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed the dark green showing up as yellow on the minimap.
|
||||
Minelaying units now have the same icon as constructors.
|
||||
Fixed "slow" animations for water explosions.
|
||||
(Thanks ChaoStorm!)
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed Arm Mumbo script to prevent the unit locking up and not firing when under heavy fire.
|
||||
|
||||
Arm Mumbo weapon damage increased.
|
||||
|
||||
Control G added to Arm Pelican.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed a script bug that prevented Arm Guardians and Core Punishers from firing in ballistic mode until they'd fired at least once in direct-fire mode.
|
||||
|
||||
Seaplanes made more expensive and heavier than regular advanced aircraft:
|
||||
Previously, Seaplanes had the same armor/firepower as advanced aircraft, but cost only 2/3s as much. This changes Seaplanes to cost 25% more than advanced aircraft, but keep the same weapons, so all of the extra cost goes into armor, boosting their armor by about 56% over advanced aircraft. However, they also move about 10% slower. This makes Seaplanes much more heavily armored for a relatively small increase in cost compared to advanced aircraft while keeping the same weapons.
|
||||
|
||||
Replaced Arm Sentinel and Core Gaat Gun models with their original OTA models which are shorter, but also target fast-moving units like Flash tanks more effectively.
|
||||
|
||||
Core Viper weapon area of effect increased.
|
||||
|
||||
Arm Spirit and Core Krow removed from Advanced Air Plants and added to Experimental Gantries.
|
||||
|
||||
Arm Spirit cost increased, speed reduced, weapon range reduced, damage increased, and reload reduced.
|
||||
|
||||
Core Krow cost increased, speed reduced, weapon range reduced, and damage increased.
|
||||
|
||||
Arm Bantha weapon velocity increased to improve accuracy.
|
||||
|
||||
Core Cauterizer turn rate increased.
|
||||
|
||||
Arm and Core Commander explosion area of effect increased.
|
||||
Arm and Core Decoy Commander explosion area of effect increased.
|
||||
NOTE: This increase in the Commander blast area of effect prevents an enemy commander from destroying your commander with his anti-air missile from further away and surviving your blast. As always, remember that Commander blasts only affect units, leaving structures intact.
|
||||
|
||||
Arm and Core Micro Fusions cost and output reduced.
|
||||
NOTE: This puts Micro Fusions at the same metal/energy efficiency as regular fusions, instead of 23% more efficient. They also produce less energy each, meaning they take up more space and are therefore more hazardous to use.
|
||||
|
||||
Arm and Core Amphibious Complex costs reduced 2/3 to equal the costs of Hovercraft Platforms.
|
||||
NOTE: This puts the Amphibious Complexes back to T1.5 level, just like Hover platforms.
|
||||
Hovers give better than T1 units, and a couple of advanced things like Micro Fusions, but mostly not advanced. Complexes give full-blown advanced units at half the cost of regular advanced, but you get a short list of units across both Kbots and Vehicles, so you'll just have to work with what you get.

Adjusted Arm Mumbo script to avoid it locking up when being hit by lots of enemy fire all at once.
|
||||
|
||||
Arm Mumbo weapon [TAWF003_weapon] damage increased to 26 (19).
|
||||
NOTE: The Mumbo weapon often hits twice on a target, due to the area of effect, but sometimes only hits once. It's hard to estimate how often, but this increase should help better off-set the times it's only hitting once on a target.
|
||||
|
||||
Added Control G hotkey to Arm Pelican.
|

|
||||
Arm Bantha weapon [ARMBANTHA_FIRE] weapon velocity increased to 600 (450) and tolerance reduced to 3500 (6000).
|
||||
NOTE: This should let them hit faster moving targets more easily.
|
||||
|
||||
Core Cauterizer turnrate increased to 140 (70).
|
||||
|

Arm and Core Commander explosion [COMMANDER_BLAST] area of effect increased to 1600 (960).

||||
|
||||
Arm and Core Decoy Commander destroyed explosion [DECOY_COMMANDER_BLAST] area of effect increased to 1600 (960).
|
||||
NOTE: This increase in the Commander blast area of effect prevents an enemy commander from destroying your commander with his anti-air missile from further away and surviving your blast. As always, remember that Commander blasts only affect units, leaving structures intact.
|

Arm and Core Micro Fusion energy cost reduced to 10453 (15072), metal cost reduced to 608 (876), buildtime reduced to 18471 (27751), armor reduced to 352 (616), energy make reduced to 200 (350), and description updated.
|
||||
NOTE: This puts Micro Fusions at the same metal/energy efficiency as regular fusions, instead of 23% more efficient. They also produce less energy each, meaning they take up more space and are therefore more hazardous to use.
|
||||
|
||||
Arm Amphibious Complex energy cost reduced to 12836 (19259), metal cost reduced to 2100 (3150), and build time reduced to 42000 (63000).
|
||||
|
||||
Core Amphibious Complex energy cost reduced to 13265 (19734), metal cost reduced to 2170 (3231), and build time reduced to 44512 (66277).
|
||||
NOTE: This puts the Amphibious Complexes back to T1.5 level, just like Hover platforms.

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-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

|
||||
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.
