Errr... need a bit of formatting help... see the page? I want to put on all the separate levels so that they are easily seen to readers. I managed to get the Skyranger showing as thumbnails, but the next heading should be below the thumbs, but isn't... :o( How can I get it to format right, or any other ideas would be appreciated!

One possible option would be to put a <BR clear="all"> after the image, so that all text that follows the image will continue underneath it.
For more image manipulators, check out Magic Words.

Extra/unused .MAP files?
Hi all,
I've been looking at UFO's .MAP files in quite a bit of depth and I've found a few that don't seem to be used in the game. I've done a cursory examination of them in Hex Workshop and listed some of their attributes below. In a plain steam distribution, the files are:
MAP3.MAP 32X48X3
MAP4.MAP 32X48X3
PABDUCT.MAP 10X20X4
PHARVEST.MAP 20X20X4
PSCOUT.MAP 10X10X4
TEMP.MAP 10X10X1
TEMP1.MAP 10X10X1
TEMP2.MAP 20X20X1
TEMP3.MAP 20X20X1
UFO_000.MAP 10X10X2
Anybody know what they are? The first two are especially weird; there's no way they could fit into an X-Com map unless it was the same map every time, like a TFTD ship attack. Off the Rails 11:02, 8 February 2011 (EST)
