That's the comment that appears in the Red Alert 2 rules.ini file against the {{TTL|BaseNormal}} flag.
The above comment appears in the Red Alert 2 {{tt|rules(md).ini}} file against the {{TTL|BaseNormal}} flag.


This tag is valid in Tiberian Sun and Firestorm, and appears to have the same function as Red Alert 2' {{TTL|BaseNormal}} tag, which it is occasionally confused with, hence the presence of the comment.

psst....IsBase isn't a Rules flag

The above comment appears in the Red Alert 2 rules(md).ini file against the Template:TTL flag.

This flag was valid in Tiberian Sun, and appears to have the same functionality as Red Alert 2's Template:TTL flag (which is assumed to have replaced Template:TTL). The purpose of the comment is presumably to remind the developers of this change so that they don't mistakenly use the old flag.

In Red Alert 2, this flag is mistakenly included on [CAOUTP] (the Tech Outpost) as Template:TTL instead of Template:TTL. However, as Template:TTL isn't parsed and Template:TTL defaults to yes, the intended effect is achieved anyway.
