{{tocright}}This folder contains the information used for tiles in ''EU's'' battlescape view, both statistical and graphical.

Each of the three files used for each tileset contains a variable amount of records. PCK files and their respective TAB files should always contain an equal amount of records.<br>

−
==General Information==
 
−
*MCD stands for Map Control Data.
 
−
*MCD files have a variable amount of records, each of 62 bytes.
 
−
*Each record defines one of four possible terrain items (see [54]):
 
−
**ground tile,
 
−
**north wall,
 
−
**west wall, or
 
−
**object
 
−
*For example, DESERT.MCD defines a number of desert terrain items such as sand (ground tiles), sand dunes, rocks, and cacti.
 
−
*The PCK and TAB files work hand-in-hand with MCD records to define what each terrain item looks like.
 
−
*These MCD terrain items are subsequently combined to make "3D" maplets in the MAPS\DESERT''nn''.MAP 10x10 or 20x20 tilesets.
 
−
*The MAP tilesets are then selected from, to make a "random" desert map when a new battlescape is created.
 
−
*Sometimes more than one collection is used for a given map type; farms are made from the CULTIVAT (fields) and BARN (farmhouse) sets.
 
−
*More complex terrain types, especially UFOs and bases, tend to have many more MCD records (terrain items) and/or more than one MCD set.
 
  
−
==Structure==
+
These are divided up into "sets" made of three files: An [[MCD]] file, which defines the tiles for that set, and a [[Image_Formats#PCK|PCK file accompanied by a TAB file]], which together define the image data that represents said tiles on-screen (note that PCK files always have the same amount of records as their respective TAB files, though MCD files may have a different figure (as some tiles animate and hence use multiple sprites, and some tiles use the same sprites as others but at a different height offset)).
−
'''0-7:''' Animation of the tile.
 
  
−
The eight bytes refer to images on the PCK files which are used in a sequence (from the first byte to the last) to animate tiles. This animation is used by several tiles on both games, such as doors (see [46]), bubbles on TFTD, blinking lifts, etc. If all eight frames are the same, it's a static tile.
+
Each "set" stored here will be part of an even larger "terrain set", which will have corresponding files in both the [[MAPS]] folder and the [[ROUTES]] folder.  
  
−
'''8-19:''' Line Of Fire Template (LOFT) for the tile. 12 values, each references into [[LOFTEMPS.DAT]] file.
+
The maximum amount of MCD records allowed in any given fully-built map is 256. This is also the highest count used in game, achieved by sending a [[Skyranger]] or [[Interceptor]] to deal with a [[Harvester]] or [[Supply Ship]] in [[Forest Terrain]].
  
−
Each LOFT record is a 16x16 grid; these are stacked one over the other, with mcd[8] being the bottom. Used to create a 3D map (16x16x12) of the tile, for LOS. For more info, see [[LOFTEMPS.DAT]].
+
The maximum amount of PCK records allowed is as yet unknown. The highest count used in game is 329, achieved by sending a [[Skyranger]] or [[Interceptor]] to deal with a [[Terror Ship]] or [[Battleship]] in [[Arctic Terrain]].
  
−
'''20-21:''' Reference into [[SCANG.DAT]] file. Two-byte integer ([20] + [21] * 256 + 35 = offset). 4x4 bmp images for the top-down map; see [[SCANG.DAT]].
 
  
−
'''22-29:''' Unknown.
+
==Contents==
  
−
'''30:''' Boolean: Is sliding door? See [46]
+
The size of an [[MCD| MCD]] file is equal to the amount of records it holds times 62 bytes.
  
−
'''31:''' Boolean: Can't be seen through?
+
The size of a TAB file is equal to the amount of images it indexes times 2 bytes.
  
−
'''32:''' Boolean: Can't be stood on? For ground tiles: non-flying units fall through. ''I only see two XCOM MCD ground tiles with this set; not sure if either tile is actually used: BLANKS MCD id 0 and UFO1 MCD id 0 -[[user:MikeTheRed|MTR]]
+
PCK files contain RLE-compressed image data and are of unpredictable sizes.
  
−
Both are used, and in the case of Blanks every map is automatically assigned it - [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 19:36, 18 Nov 2005 (PST)

*Tile must take this amount of damage to be destroyed, at which point it changes to mcd[44].
 
−
*Terrain items do not "remember" damage (like units); terrain is either destroyed (if damage >= armor) or not.
 
−
*Some things are set to 255 to mean "indestructible" but actually, anything >100 is indestructible in a non-hacked game, and anything >127 (for explosives, 255/2) or >191 (firearms, 255x.75) cannot be destroyed, even in a hacked game (see [[Damage]] re: Damage to terrain).
 
−
*With explosions, all four terrain items in the tile are hit by the same strength, but firearm shots target only one of them.
 
−
*For a loopy exception to explosions being equally applied (due to erroneous data), see [[Explosions#Mile-High Madness|Mountain Madness]].
 
−
*''[[user:NKF|NKF]]:'' I suppose you could make a gate out of this by creating two tiles, each easily destroyed, which change to the other when hit. One could be walked across, the other could not.

''Notes:''
 
−
#To see explosive objects in XCOM, see [[Explosions#Explosive Map Objects]].
 
−
#Type 0 (HE) explosions follow the usual rules for [[explosions]] (average damage to units decreases by 10 per tile outward, etc.).
 
−
#Hackers: Type 0 (HE) terrain items with little or no armor ([42]=0) are obliterated before exploding (i.e., they won't explode, no matter how high [55] is). Probably also depends on, if it was a very big blast relative to the armor.
 
−
#Chain reactions are exceedingly difficult to set up (per Hobbes). Most of the time when you see e.g. the four sections of the Navigator's table explode, it's because you used explosives that actually set off each one individually. It has to do with a balance of, among other things, not obliterating the object (see previous point).
 
−
#Type 1 (Smoke) explosives are strange, and mainly only affect aliens - and very haphazardly at that. XCOM units are only very rarely affected; I could only get it to work if they were 1) unarmored, 2) on a diagonal, and 3) no other objects are "in the way" between the blast moving "over and up" or "up and over" to the diagonal (blast propagation never moves directly diagonally per se; see [[Explosions#Playing With Fire]]). ''-MTR
 
−
#Chain reactions are not possible with Type 1 (Smoke) explosive objects.
 
−
#Also, when dealing with smoke damage, remember that if there is already tons of smoke on the map (filling up the smoke table) such that no new smoke can appear, you might get unexpected results (or no effect). ''[[user:Hobbes|Hobbes]]:'' One strange thing that can happen when there's already too much smoke on the map and an object with [54]=1 explodes is that the alien dies and in the dying animation there's smoke on that square.

=PCK / TAB=
 
−
 
 
−
==General Information==
 
−
 
 
−
Graphical tile data. The TAB file is made up of two byte values, each stating the starting offset of the respective graphic in the PCK file.<br>
 
−
<br>
 
−
PCK decoding is fairly simple: the first byte in the data stream tells you how many rows you should skip. Then you just draw each byte afterwards directly onto the screen (which should be using a 256 color palette).<br>
 
−
<br>
 
−
Values 254/255 are not to be drawn. If you encounter a byte with a value of 254 (FE), then the next byte tells you how many pixels you should skip. If you encounter a byte with a value of 255 (FF), then you're done.<br>
 
−
<br>
 
−
While simplistic, I've found that the best way to use PCK files is to store them 'as is', then decode them straight onto the screen as needed (as opposed to pre-rendering them and storing the completed graphics in memory). This makes lighting effects that much easier to implement.
 

Latest revision as of 03:35, 23 July 2013

This folder contains the information used for tiles in EU's battlescape view, both statistical and graphical.

These are divided up into "sets" made of three files: An MCD file, which defines the tiles for that set, and a PCK file accompanied by a TAB file, which together define the image data that represents said tiles on-screen (note that PCK files always have the same amount of records as their respective TAB files, though MCD files may have a different figure (as some tiles animate and hence use multiple sprites, and some tiles use the same sprites as others but at a different height offset)).

Each "set" stored here will be part of an even larger "terrain set", which will have corresponding files in both the MAPS folder and the ROUTES folder.

The maximum amount of MCD records allowed in any given fully-built map is 256. This is also the highest count used in game, achieved by sending a Skyranger or Interceptor to deal with a Harvester or Supply Ship in Forest Terrain.

The maximum amount of PCK records allowed is as yet unknown. The highest count used in game is 329, achieved by sending a Skyranger or Interceptor to deal with a Terror Ship or Battleship in Arctic Terrain.


Contents

The size of an MCD file is equal to the amount of records it holds times 62 bytes.

The size of a TAB file is equal to the amount of images it indexes times 2 bytes.

PCK files contain RLE-compressed image data and are of unpredictable sizes.
