What's the Circle K? Forgive my ignorance/uninformed-ness (is that a legal word?).

I have changed my dummy buildup SHP to the proper (TS) format, and the difference is that since it's two frames, when you place the structure the delay is a bit longer than the delay I had before. The delay being the time that the structure is invisible before you can see it. It's still negligable though.

I have to do a bit more testing to see if this fixes the uncommon IEs I get from placing a few specific strcutures. If I still get these weird IEs, then I might as well go back to using the one-frame dummy SHP since it's got a slightly shorter delay.

BTW Ren, how do you plan on getting around the Whiteboy bug? From what I can see, it's not possible without hacking the game's exe file. What I'm going to do is simply make sure that the player can never have so many vehicles/aircraft/ships available to build on the vehicles tab. I'm going to do this by restricting a few units to specific countries... I'll need to make decisions carefully about this. What about you? What's your solution?

Also, I finished that Aid Chopper thingy. I think you said you were going to use a chrono vehicle or something, but if you like, I'll send you this Aid Chopper so you can see it in action. I think the animation is a little amateur, but you can see what you think. PM me your email address.
