kabill Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Minor issue, but for completeness's sake: landed UFO missions are always on the farm tileset. At least, I assume this is the case. I've not done thorough testing, but I've noticed before that UFOs that land in the northern region of Africa produce farm ground combat missions and thought it was odd. Having just found the continent/tileset masks, I can see that there's not supposed to be any chance of a farm map in the northern part of Africa (should always by desert/middle easten/industrial) and when I did a quick test just now I got a farm map from a UFO landed in a region where the farm tileset shouldn't have been possible.

There are farms in North Africa and the Middle East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitso Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Not in this game there shouldn't be.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Not in this game there shouldn't be..LOL. OK, fine. :-) Apparently, the zoning commission has banned them in Xenonauts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Yeah, that's why I only reported it now. I'd spotted it before and thought it was odd, but it was plausible that it had just landed on a farm tileset section of the map (I didn't know how the game chooses the tilesets 'til recently). But now I've seen the tileset masks, it shouldn't be happening as northern Africa has no farm elements on it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt_Parsons Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 On one of the two tileset masks border between tile colors in Africa is partially gradient, mixing color into ones not mentioned on tileset guide pic, maybe that is what causing it. I have already fixed one mask bug where there were arctic tiles near the equator regions, also fixed this strange gradient. Post and archive is here. If you have the save before landing on said mission, you can check if it loads farm with these fixed masks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Doesn't look like it. I just changed the entire earth to desert, but when I went to assault I got a farm map again. Edit: good catch on the partial colours, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt_Parsons Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Actually, my bad - it seems somewhere in recent updates masks were completely remade, i looked on them just now. And there are indeed farms in the south africa =/ Edit: Yeah, in 22.10. Also there is gradient even on new masks.

Chris Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Wow - surprised we've never picked up on this before, but it is indeed the case (probably responsible for a lot of the "repeating map" complaints tbh). We'll get this fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
