	Orders.txt Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Can anyone explain what the following orders do?

1) order ranged attack. (I seem to recall a mod that had something like this in it but cant remember what it did).

2)order underground railway. No idea at all about this one.

Thanks.

Abolitionist order. In-game its name is 'Free Slaves'

That's not an actual order, its more of a command that has to be available to the AI to get them to use stacked units in attack forces I think.

I have a feeling that I played a mod some years ago that included a "ranged attack" for units. I am sure it was SPR's Punic War mod.

Given my limited programming experience, correction, almost non existant experience, I am not game to reload it to see what it does incase it mucks up cradle, but that game featured a Hannibal unit that could load troops like a ship and i am sure ranged attack which worked like bombardment but ranged units could do it and defenders could reply.

Yeah, I think he did do something like that using the bombardment and active defense commands, but I it wasn't related to the Orders.txt.

You should be able to load it though, because it runs as a scenario, so you can just select "Original Game" in ModSwapper, and open it through the scenario menu.

It's a 'hidden order', not a real order:

quote: # Hidden Orders (For GL) ORDER_RANGED_ATTACK { Gold 0 Move 100 EventName "" LocalizedName str_ldl_order_ranged_attack StatusText str_ldl_order_ranged_attack UnitPretest_Invalid CPIcon "upsi27.tga" ButtonLocation 10 DefaultIcon ICON_ORDER_RANGED_ATTACK # FIXME - these are the default special action cursors Cursor 7 InvalidCursor 8 }

The 'UnitPretest_Invalid' flag means that it can't be used in the game. It's just for the Great Library.
