Thank you.
So I found that, by default, tags are off. And I need to write in Rules.yaml, for light infantry, for example : Can I write text for tag in yaml too?

I already found function for Lua:
AddTag(string tag) - Add a tag to the actor.

Would you like to explain me? What is the tag?
This is string. So I can write any text for some objects, right? Like label. Or something else?

I can see in Lua-API something about Tags. Question: Does the tags works with Dune2000 units? What are these? I mean, the tags, in general. It looks like infantry, at least, has no tag. I see several function: - bool AddTag (string tag) - Add a tag to the actor. - bool HasTag (string tag) - bool Rem...

Not bad!
Is this "Dune 2"?

Otherwise the engine will think you're trying to pass a color as an integer, which won't work.

Really. In that case, Lua returns error:
"Unable to convert parameter 2 to Int32".

Thank you for explanation.

Introduction . Slightly long. :-) About "FloatingText" in general. (If you know "FloatingText" well, then read next part) I read about function "FloatingText" now. This function, as Lua-API says, "Display a text message at the specified location" . Function "FloatingText" has four parameters . Firs...

I like OpenRa mod of Dune2000. And I would like to explore some parts of source code of that. I even start to read source code in C#. So question: Wouldn't it be impudence to ask at forum about some unclear (for me) parts of source code? I am newbie in C#. So it can be questions about C# in general ...

Thank you for your links. Strange thing. I have read here right now. "TutorialsPoint - YAML Basics " -https://www.tutorialspoint.com/yaml/yaml_basics.htm "YAML does not allow the use of tabs while creating YAML files; spaces are allowed instead" ??? There are only tabs in the OpenRa yaml file... Do ...

Thank you! Now I understand. Another question: Are there any plans to rewrite that "Eluant" in new Lua? Problem. It looks like Lua 5.1. absolutly has no support of non-ASCII characters. So user cannot use not Latin symbols (from different languages). I cannot even write comment in Lua file with non-...

I read article here about compiling.
https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Compiling

I can see there, that recommended version of Lua is 5.1.
What if to install newer version? Does it matter?

The current version is Lua 5.4.

Thank you very much, SirCake! (your answers are really very informative, and I can understand how exactly it works) So, at least, it works in "Skirmish Game". It's still interesting, how to reach default value (for own separate map) here: Singleplayer -> Missions -> dropdown button "Speed" . It was ...

I even try to make something similar to "Difficulty" dropdown button in the file rules.yaml. Nothing changes. ScriptLobbyDropdown@gamespeed: ID: gamespeed Label: Gamespeed Values: slower: Slower normal: Normal fast: Fast faster: Faster fastest: Fastest Default: fast Another question. Is it possible,...

Unfortunately nothing changes in ( Singleplayer -> Missions ) dropdown button " GameSpeed ". Default value is still " Normal ". I try to do: 1) In the file map.yaml Rules: d2k|rules/campaign-rules.yaml, d2k|rules/campaign-tooltips.yaml, d2k|rules/campaign-palettes.yaml, rules.yaml World: MapOptions:...

I read documentation here. https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Map-Options And I try to set GameSpeed (from the example below). But it does not work for some reason. Do I write something wrong? * * * Example from documentation. AVAILABLE OPTIONS Rules: World: MapOptions: TechLevelDropdownLocked: t...

Thank you for your answer. Actually, the rest of text in this menu "Missions" looks good and readable. I don't need to increase that text. And, honestly, my main aim... It would be interesting for me to play with font size and look . By myself. If this is accessible and possible... If your please. A...
