Allied & Soviet Refinery animations

Allied Refinery

Okay we have a lot of junk here that never gets played. Every time a miner dumps its load, you're supposed to see the bin fill with ore, which then gets drawn down. The animations exist but they are not used. They are also crude and are presumably unfinished, and they are pretty much obscured by the miner. Even so they are worth enabling.

Make the following changes to your
<artmd.ini> file:

[GAREFN]
;ActiveAnimTwo=GAREFNL2 ;UMP removed
;ActiveAnimTwoZAdjust=-40 ;UMP removed
;ActiveAnimTwoYSort=724 ;UMP removed
;ActiveAnimThree=GAREFNL3 ;UMP removed

[GAREFNL1]
DoubleThick=yes ;UMP

I have no idea what GAREFNL4 is. It's called by the original code, it's also on the animations list. But there's no such image. Leave the code in I guess, but I can't imagine what value it serves.



Soviet Refinery

Like the Allied one, the extra animations are there but are crude and appear unfinished. But they are also more visible and they look better too.

Make the following changes to your <rulesmd.ini> file:

#### should be one number higher than the last entry in your [Animations] list.
[Animations]
####=NAREFNBB


Make the following changes to your <artmd.ini> file:

[NAREFN]

OreRefineryProcessing sound

There is an unused sound that can be used on the Allied and Soviet Refineries of ore spilling into the bin.

If you wish to enable this sound, make the following changes to your
<artmd.ini> file:

[GAREFNOR]
Report=OreRefineryProcessing

[NAREFNOR]
Report=OreRefineryProcessing



The sound is kind of hard to hear, so a volume boost may be in order. Modify
OreRefineryProcessing in <soundmd.ini> as you see fit (Volume=50 should work well).
