Whether to use a file naming rule similar to the original Yuri's sidec02md.mix.
Notes
The original Yuri faction's UI loads additional, independent radar and background images (and their palette files) from sidec02md.mix. These files override their corresponding assets from the Soviet faction's sidec02.mix.
Following the same logic, a custom faction's sidebar can also use separate files: radary.shp and radaryuri.pal instead of the default radar.shp and sidebar.pal.
For the exact filename structure, refer to Yuri's Revenge's original shape files located in the ra2md.mix/localmd.mix/sidec02md.mix file path.
The numeric index # in the filename sidec0#md.mix must match the value set in Sidebar.MixFileIndex.
The design purpose of this logic is to support independent palettes. It is not necessary to separate the set of files that use independent palettes and their palettes into files with the md suffix, as was done before. In other words, you can directly put radary.shp into sidec0#.mix without having to create a sidec0#md.mix file.

| Background - Medium | bkgdmd.shp | bkgdmdy.shp |
| Background - Small | bkgdsm.shp | bkgdsmy.shp |
