Flag: AltCameo
File(s): art(md).ini
Values: Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: filenames)
Default: XXICON
Applicable to: TechnoTypes:

AircraftTypes, BuildingTypes, InfantryTypes and VehicleTypes



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.
