ufo_Error - can someone confirm
« on: October 04, 2012, 01:57:06 pm »
Hey,
 I have been trying to track a error in my Abductor ufos , but when i load Mapview OR openxcom with original files i still have it , Can someone confirm if this was a bug in the original game?

yep, those half-tile errors were there in the original. those tile fragments are all kinds of weird, because they are sometimes part of "objects", too... as far as I can see. well, the designers obviously didn't consider oblique UFO walls when they started, and didn't properly fix them later :)
