UnitID in briefings in SCMdraft2?

According to this thread: http://www.staredit.net/topic/9746/ it's possible to use the Merc biker portrait and unused flags, however I haven't been able to do so.
No matter how I input it, the trigger editor refuses to compile.

Here's what I've tried:
Code
Briefing("Player 1", "Player 2", "Player 3", "Player 4", "Player 5", "Player 6", "Player 7", "Player 8", "Player 9", "Player 10", "Player 11", "Player 12", "unknown/unused", "Current Player", "Foes", "Allies", "Neutral players", "All players", "Force 1", "Force 2", "Force 3", "Force 4", "unknown/unused (22)", "unknown/unused (23)", "unknown/unused (24)", "unknown/unused (25)", "Non Allied Victory Players"){
    Show Portrait("ID:6541", 0);
    Mission Objectives("\x010Explore the Unused units, sounds and other content and have fun.\x010");
    Wait(500000);
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//


How do I fix this?

stab in the dark: too many trigger owners? Try using only "All Players"

another stab: Don't use the text triggers (where you need to compile) but create it using classic briefing editor.

I see you !

You are using the wrong syntax for numbers in text trigedit, try this: Show Portrait("Int:6541", 0);

So how would the merc portrait look like in Remastered?
I guess it wouldn't look different.

Alright so good and bad news.

The good news is, Suicidal Insanity's tip worked, I had no idea how to enter the syntax as I couldn't find documentation for it.
But it seems that every value above the normal just has a marine portrait from what I could see.



None.

I see you !

I'm fairly sure that the SC:R team fixed / blocked every buffer overflow they could find. They basically had to - knowingly leaving security vulnerabilities in the code is a no-go.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
