Show me a screenshot where that bug pops out, then I can probably track down what causes it - I personally found Palette not need to be overrid though.

On a second note, the TDX abbreviation is already used by reaperrr's Tiberian Dawn Extended. No offense.

Sorry, mixed the definitions, what you need is the Player Color Palette along with it, not the Highlight variant. Practically this one: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/blob/bleed/mods/ra/rules/palettes.yaml#L67 Just copy it out, set the base palette to however you refer the pal in PaletteFromFile a...

Sadly XCC Mixer can only read pals from mixes, not loose folders. So any additional pal you'd use should be mixed for Mixer beforehand (you can drag'n'drop files to be added into the mix). However in the particular OP case, I don't think that's needed. You end up better if you copy RA temperat.pal i...

You can use OpenRA.Utility's --check-yaml feature to get a more exact message.

Re: [Mod] A little doohickey I'm working on

There's currently no unique build icons or anything, so I'll add those as well as soon as I can figure out how (I'm on a Mac). I'm pretty accomplished at Photoshop and have done custom art for other quasi-3D games in the past, so I'm pretty excited for this part. Assuming you have Wine already from...

You have no idea how much effort it takes to have enough colors on a dropdown list. When Ares added the option to have 16 colors available for Yuri's Revenge, I've poured months into the effort to make all colors distinct enough. You also ignored that I wouldn't hardcode the actual colors used. You ...

Yes, all that fucking dark blue terrain. We call that water over here. Nice try at being a smartass, but the water is light blue. At least my post was smart, while yours were simply ass. That being said, a fixed color palette is stupid, limited and a sacrifice. What I'd opt for - and might even loo...

The mine is just another actor, so while I haven't tested it, I cannot really think about a reason why it shouldn't work.

From what I'd guess, you added an Armament without an Attack* flag (I might suggest giving the mine a turret/use AttackOmni). Post your exception.log.

OK, and how does those work if your opponent is not out for coffee at the time? It now requires you to have a 1-man distraction at the very least, and the notification gets nullified, because your enemy is distracted - something you should have been doing without the notification anyway. Otherwise ...

Well, not everyone looks at the radar all the time, so yea, I can understand how these detection sounds do ruin the surprise effect.

The old editor does not support the file formats added in D2k and TS, and does not run in Macs. Also, no diamond (TS) terrain support.

Long-term it's a lot simpler to maintain one program than two. The old editor had it's own codebase, so most of the codes would've needed to be duplicated.
