Heroes, abilities, map sizes (random questions about modding) Thread - Red Alert 3 Paradox mod for C&C: Red Alert 3

Hello,
first of all excuse me for my bad english, so don't get stupified if you see errors or wrong unusude words (than simply ask when i don't get clear what i have in mind or what i am asking to you)

now questions:
1) which are sizes limits for maps?
2) which are the secondary ability limits (number) and how do i add them to units?
3) this is an hard one

i've seen in uprising, in the yuriko's campaign, a total overall new way to manage hero units
yuriko has a protocol tech tree on his own (not exactly since i guess they just moved the main one e and adapted it to her in both game mechanics and interface)

so the question is, would be possible to add more protocols to trees to a single faction and attach them to single units as the heroes?

for example: playing japanese and having their protocols but a yuriko from her campaign in uprising?????????

0) Hello, and your English is better than many other posts I read so don't worry.
1) I'm fairly sure it's unlimited but there's probably a normed size I don't know about. Sorry cannot help much.
2) Only 1. The types:
- switch stuff e.g. weapons
- click-and-activate
- click-and-target
Of course you add them via coding.
3) One can't add more than 45 protocol slots to the game and it while it would be possible to add them to heroes it would make them a tad imba. We circumvent the slot problem by using a mechanic that was used in TW, namely protocols are tied to structures and when structures are upgraded in tier so are the protocols. It will however remain impossible to add new protocol trees and buy them like in vRA3.

Map size is capped at either 700x700 or 800x800 I can't remember which.

750^2 isn't it?

Yes, but no. You can get around it but it runs slowly on most computers.

Really? I can't tell (mostly because I haven't played or mapped in donkey's years and my "maps" weren't very taxing.)

Thank you sorata (and the others for the map limit info), unfortunately the limits are what i expected .... i know i pretend too much from hardcoded limits

i wanted to add yuriko prime to japanese rising empire with his tech/power tree from uprising
i don't even know if i can add her new telekinetic abilities

maybe i could resolve protocols limit by giving half japanese protocol tree to yuriko and adding just the final slots?

I mean like giving 9 PROTOCOL SLOT to japanese (by eliminating lower level protocols i can free space) and 6 for yuriko (with her final protocols), i know this means to overpower japs but it's just an idea for a personal playing purpose mod , and to understand things obviously
