Using the new Upgrade System

Extended Tiberian Sun allows you to use new upgrade system.
tags which are used with this: UseNewUpgradeSystem=yes
NextType=[unit, infantry, building, aircraft] type

Example

 [TTNK]
 ...
 Primary=90mm
 UseNewUpgradeSystem=yes
 NextType=MMCH
 Trainable=yes
 Cost=200
 ...
 

Now when TTNK will be promoted he will have 120mm weapon instead 90mm weapon. NextType must be the same type as the current unit. so if you specify this tag in VehicleType you must specify vehicle unit, not infantry or aircraft.

Notes

Please remember what you can not change all parameters: for example Locomotor can not be changed using new upgrade system. if you use it on building, Foundation tag must the same as original building. in opposite case you will have a very strange building. However nobody stop you to research it so you can try to create interesting effects.
Also new system isn't working with BuildLimit logic.
