Created in the MissDat folder when you start a battlescape mission, also copied to the savegame folder of choice when saving mid-mission. Primarily used to generate a new map at the beginning of combat, and to determine which MCD files to load.
File is 92 bytes long for both UFO and TFTD. Values are presented according to byte offset (0 to 91) followed by the equivalent hex offset (00 to 5B) in bold.
Structure
0-1/00-01: X dimension of the map / 10.
2-3/02-03: Y dimension of the map / 10.
4-5/04-05: Z dimension of the map.
6-7/06-07: X-Com craft type (ignore this if a base mission):
0 - SkyRanger 1 - Lightning 2 - Avenger 3 - Interceptor 4 - Firestorm ???
8-9/08-09: Alien craft type (ignore this if not a UFO mission):
0 - (No UFO) 1 - ??? 2 - ??? 3 - ??? 4 - ??? 5 - Small Scout 6 - Medium Scout 7 - Large Scout 8 - Harvestor 9 - Abductor 10 - Terror Ship 11 - Battleship 12 - Supply Ship
10-11/0A-0B: Terrain type:
UFO TFTD
0: Jungle 0: Seabed Trash
1: Farm 1: Pipes
2: Forest 2: Crashed Plane
3: X-Com Base 3: Atlantis

15: T'leth Stage 1
16: T'leth Stage 2
17: T'leth Stage 3
18: X-Com Base
19: Passenger Ship
20: ???
Crashes, perhaps second stage of ships?
Probably easy enough to verify, only I'm too lazy to
run a shipping mission without hacking... :P
