I'm asking some questions. All in one topic so I don't ask one by one in spamming.

So about some random parts.

How does the FineDiffControl=no I changed it to =Yes and no effect while playing.

Does the Paratrooper=E1 tag work?

When Cyborgs "go bezerk" what happens?

Why do the TS and RA2/YR Rules have "Globals Variable Names"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardcoded questions?

Is it possible for a laser to cause EMP?

(More to come if I need answers)

If i can work out how the RA95 MRJ works, ill consider adding it into HyperPatch.

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

Since it only shuts down the radar, there should be several ways to code it:
-like the active ion storm, but restricted to a certain range around the vehicle
-like a passive gun that fires an EMP on certain buildings only (radar in this case)
-drawing a special anim over the radar screen when the unit is in range of the players radar

So maybe it's easier for you to code one of these than finding out how RA1 made it work.

The second feature of the MRJ being invisible on the radar can be achieved already.

Though i must say that a MRJ is pretty useless in times of 1920x1080 resolutions, where you don't have to look on the radar anymore as the battlefield screen is big enough to keep an eye on everything.
So imo a better feature would be if it could reshroud the map for the enemy where it moves, so you can hide again your base and important areas. The new shroud should stay even after the MRJ moved away from a position, e.g. you could explain it, that the MRJ deletes the terrain information of the selective area from the enemy radar.

It makes no sense if you reshroud the map for AI! (That is unleess you're online)
They'll fire an Ion Cannon on you when they can't even see your base! Maybe it's that "Ion Cannon" controls in rules.

It makes no sense to use an MRJ against the AI either.
