Prolly no, just trial and error, mind you iirc negative values on the y variable (second number) will move the sprite a bit up, you should see the mod.yaml file and grab the cell size from there to get a reference.

Look for the theather data on mod.yaml, you will need to rename the second letter of the sprite to whatever it's set up to be, similar to vanilla ra2 and ts.

Add a UpgradeActorsNear to your aura giver unit and SelfHealing on the units meant to receive the buff, and set it so it becomes enabled with the upgrade UpgradeActorsNear is meant to deliver, example.

Code:

SelfHealing@nerfpls:
   Step: 3
   Delay: 100
   HealIfBelow: 100
   UpgradeTypes: batteryboost
   UpgradeMinEnabledLevel: 1

UpgradeActorsNear@huehuehue:
   Upgrades: batteryboost
   Range: 12c0

No idea.

Atm your best bet is to create shp based lights using alpha palettes. see this and also the tiberian sun light posts, Marn's TS mod has a ton of uses of these sprite lights.

Any easy way to import red alert 2 rules and art code to openra.

See https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/blob/bleed/OpenRA.Mods.TS/UtilityCommands/LegacySequenceImporter.cs#L61 and onwards for how to calculate offsets - this is part of the art.ini importer. Everything nonbuildings shouldn't need an offset set.

Yes, there is an art.ini and rules.ini importer now, but the result is a mess and a lot of tags will be missing. The art.ini one is useful, but you end up better with recoding your mod from scratch instead of relying on the rules importer.

If under lighting, you mean voxels, play with the RenderVoxels ligfhting options. Also beware that OpenRA does NOT automatically figures out the proper normal settings - using the TS normals palette on a voxel with RA2 normals or vice versa will look bad.
