Declare sides in the side list alone

Changes0.2.0 (in development)

FixedPlanned for 0.2.0Breaking

A country listed under [Sides] in rules.ini now keeps that side whatever Side= its section sets. Several shipped missions, such as gdi10b.map, write Side=GDI in their [Nod] section, and that no longer moves Nod onto GDI’s side.

A Side= on a country or a theme, or a mission’s [Basic] SpeechSide=, that names a side missing from [Sides] used to create that side. It is now ignored and logged.

A [Sides] value now lists countries only. A side name in it used to add all of that side’s countries. Now it adds only the country of the same name, and is skipped when no country has that name.

Migration

For affected content or setups
  1. Declare every side under `[Sides]` in `rules.ini`, listing its countries directly. Expand any side names used in those lists into country names.
  2. For a country already listed under `[Sides]`, edit that list to change its side; its own `Side=` no longer overrides the list.
