The HAMMERHEAD badly needed a remake. So I was looking around to see if anything had been done already and I came across this:
(from StrategyCore's
X-Com TFTD Crafts remake-reskin mod)
The LEVIATHAN re-skin also catched my eye. So I throw together a quick mod (removing the TRITON) containing the pertaining GEODATA, MAPS & TERRAIN files. When I load up a random game, however, I notice crew deployment is messed up. And I had already updated crafts.rul to the new soldier capacity (from 12 to 16 for HAMMERHEAD, and 24 to 26 for LEVIATHAN).
I don't believe it's a pathing problem, since aquanauts can walk around every empty spot in the craft as normal (ie. those spots don't act/behave like obstructing walls or something).
I understand vanilla HAMMERHEAD's deployment is as follows:
\ X 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09
Y \ ------------------------------------
00 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
01 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
02 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
03 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
04 | __ __ __ 12 11 10 __ __ __ __
05 | __ __ __ 09 08 07 __ __ __ __
06 | __ __ __ 06 05 04 __ __ __ __
07 | __ __ __ 03 02 01 __ __ __ __
08 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
09 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
And what I get is this, which makes no sense (since even some of vanilla HAMMERHEAD's
default spawn locations stop working):
New HAMMERHEAD's deployment should be as follows (where 'xx' are the new spawn locations):
\ X 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09
Y \ ------------------------------------
00 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
01 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
02 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
03 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
04 | __ __ xx 12 11 10 __ __ __ __
05 | __ __ xx 09 08 07 __ __ __ __
06 | __ __ xx 06 05 04 __ __ __ __
07 | __ __ xx 03 02 01 __ __ __ __
08 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
09 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
Yet what I get is this (where ** equals missing spawns):
\ X 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09
Y \ ------------------------------------
00 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
01 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
02 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
03 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
04 | __ __ ** 12 11 ** __ __ __ __
05 | __ __ ** 09 08 07 __ __ __ __
06 | __ __ ** ** ** 04 __ __ __ __
07 | __ __ ** 03 02 01 __ __ __ __
08 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
09 | __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
The 02 X line is completely missing and, for whatever reason, so are spots 03/06 and 04/06, as as well as 05/04.
As I said, I don't believe this is a pathing problem. Then again, I'm pretty new at this. So what am I missing or doing wrong here?
PS: LEVIATHAN's re-skin also has roughly the same problem (particularly how all troops are missing along the westernmost wall/line, plus some missing spawn spots here and there).
