The general naming convention of existing cameos is: '''''____uico.shp''''', where ____ is the first four letters of your cameo's filename. Cameos should generally have an 8-character filename followed by the .shp extension. Normally this would be '''''____icon.shp''''', but veteran icons are usually given the suffix of 'uico' instead.

This tag generally is only applicable to [[InfantryTypes|Infantry]] and [[VehicleTypes]], as you cannot attain the ability to build 'veteran buildings' as they do not exist in an unmodded YR, and more importantly their production center, the [[MCV|Construction Yard]] provides no inherent spy functionality. Pad-built [[AircraftTypes]] at this time also cannot utilize the tag, as a spy entering a building with {{TTL|Radar|yes}} would provide a radar blackout, not veteran aircraft. The AltCameo possibility for [[AirportBound|non-pad bound]] aircraft or VehicleTypes with the fly [[locomotor]] is unknown.

It should also be noted that although units with {{TTL|Naval|yes}} technically are VehicleTypes, they cannot support this logic probably because of the many logic splits made between naval and ground vehicle production centers.

When Adding A Cameo, this flag defines the sidebar image used for a veteran version of this unit.

The general naming convention of existing cameos is: ____uico.shp, where ____ is the first four letters of your cameo's filename. Cameos should generally have an 8-character filename followed by the .shp extension. Normally this would be ____icon.shp, but veteran icons are usually given the suffix of 'uico' instead.

Where applicable

On InfantryTypes with Template:TTL - when the player successfully infiltrates a Barracks.
On VehicleTypes with Template:TTL - when the player successfully infiltrates a War Factory. (See Bugs)
On BuildingTypes which are Template:TTL and UndeployInto VehicleTypes - when the player successfully infiltrates a War Factory. (See Bugs.)

Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations

Once a War Factory has been infiltrated, VehicleTypes with Template:TTL and Template:TTL get their cameos "upgraded" into this version even though they do not start off as veteran when built.
Infantry designated as Template:TTL and units designated as Template:TTL don't get their cameos "upgraded" into this version even though they actually start off as veteran when built.
