Hyperjag, could you attach a ZIP containing all those tutorials as I may not be able to restore them from the old forum and Id like to put them back up here
The reasons that the disguisable mirage tank was not included in the final release were: 1) The AI couldn't utilise it without further coding. 2) The mirage tank disguise was always randomly selected every time it stopped moving - it didn't retain the chosen disguise. The creators decided that the additional coding necessary to make this work wasn't worth the time and effort for the final effect.
I think it's a great enhancement! However, I can't get the mirage tank to disguise as an ore mine - I just get the ø symbol.
I tried to get the Mirage Tank to disguise as an Ore Mine too and I think thats another reason why they dropped the original concept. Its a question of palet problems, the Ore mines use a different one to other terrain objects so it screws the disguise logic up. Maybe SeaMan could come up with somthing on this, the closest I got was by editing the Ore Mine images so they shared the palette that trees do, but I always got some kind of visual corruption.
That really is too bad, this feature is great, i would have loved to see someone bring a bunch of GGIs to destroy a platoon of mirages that had been disguised as Tank destroyers
