Alien base wall bug

[Quark01]

Hello to all. I have just found a little bug inside openxcom. The bug occurs in xcom 1 inside an alien base when I detonate something, the walls seem to flash for a second.
But not all walls, only those that reproduce an alien habitat (Ubase_01 and Ubase09). Is a known issue? I don't remember a similar effect in the original dos game.
I am currently using a recent build (openxcom_git_master_2020_02_16_2307) under windows 10 pro
My pc: ryzen 2700, mb: Gigabyte B450M DS3H with 16 giga ram and radeon rx 570

Nice game and great port to the modern pc. thx for all.

These plates are from the "normal" game.
But in my archives I see that there is a "universal patch" (2014?) for UFO Defense which concerns these plates.

Note: There is also a patch for TFTD "normal" game.

Hello, thanks for the reply . I have already installed the patches. (found in the download / extra section of openxcom). I'm starting to think it's not game data problem, but an engine issue.
I took a screenshot of the problem and noticed that the change of palette is generalized to everything and is more visible in dark environments such as alien walls. Is this a desired effect? or a bug?

Note that the explosion flash expands into separate and independent environments.

Is this a desired effect? or a bug?

It's an effect copied from the 1994 original.
I wouldn't call it desired, rather "painfully tolerated".

If you don't want it, you can use OXCE (Openxcom Extended)... removing this flash was the first thing I did for OXCE many years ago.
