MAP Patches - searching for more unpatched stuff
« on: February 28, 2015, 01:28:50 pm »
I provided here a small Map Patch which contains two maps.

One should fix the Loophole in the Standard Supply Ship.
The Other Removes unneeded Pilar in the Terror Ship.

If you know of any other Maps which needs fixes or Patches, or you wanna provide them, tell me!

Frankly, there's a plan to implement binary patch for map/rmp/pcks, in order to remove any requirements/recommendations of extra third-party patches.
So in advance we would need to gather all necessary information about map/rmp patches (the pck is only about muton's hand).

At least screenshots of particular places from map editor before-after. With highlighted/outlined what's changed.
And then using this, after binarypatch be implemented, we could fill this part of rulesets.

the supply ship fix is already in the official data patch, and removing the "unneeded" pillars will mess up the LOS functions in vanilla.

use this as a reference, and maybe consult with zombie over it, rather than creating _another_ patch (one universal one is better than a dozen little ones)

Thanks for the link warboy, i will certainly take alook.
Well i only wanted to have a thread were people could report errors in Maps and maybe people could fix those and then integrate them into a large packet, like you suggested.
