Biomech open questions

[StarryWisdom]

Two questions regarding non gmed biomechs which may shed light elsewhere

1. how do they appear orange ???
2. how do they all become hostile at once ???

1 is the most odd - side 30 could be tested via scripting, but I'm guessing its not that which means its ? another bit field? I am unsure if biomechs spawned via gm scripts are orange if so how?

2. is presumably via altering bit fields somewhere to do with hostile status (but where?)

I think there is something wrong with our understanding of sides (but with the scan bitmaps figured out I think we are closer)

Biomechs are made orange via the race key of biomech, however I cant reproduce them turning red via my scripting (and packet dumps reveal nothing I can see that would make them red)

posted here as I wonder if related
npc IsEnemy (npc1.6) seems to do nothing client side at the moment - at least related to if they are red or not (I assume that is the best way to judge)

simpleEvent:0x19 (0xf754c8fe:0x19) has an int payload where 0 makes bioMechs look orange, and 1-4 makes them look red. See #198
