Found a game I really like so my presence here is tapering off ...but at least a <s>boatload</s> Supply Ship's worth of additions were made and many new bugs added.
OC<s>D</s>P is a curse and and a blessing!
 
...and I'm doing this for free!!

==Destructable Exit Cells==
 
I think I found it!
 
I copied 48gate/mapunits/groundmap.dat to 28slums/mapunits/groundmap.dat
 
and now I have destructable blue exit tiles (with a custom 250power / 26spread) explosive!
 
And with anything, copy your stuff somewhere before you overwrite it. Got to test other maps now.
 
 
 
...how else can I break this game?
 
 
 
Update: some cells adjacent to exit tiles are no-step. It is a minor problem which is does not affect anything else. This mod works well!

Rewritting of alot of pages to make it more encyclo for the only reason: OpenApoc. I'm trying to have a (crono) logical format for each page, uniform layout, removing fluff, pub-talk, weasle-words, incorrect stuff, and rewriting alot of the cringey stuff I wrote back in the days... ahem: Stun Grapple Raids ...not saying that valuable contributions to the raid page by other authors is cringe, but mine certainly was! Eek!

'''POSSIBLE BUG''': being raided by a neutral which was targeting the government building WITHIN the next five minutes and that building was then purchased by X-Com. The base invaders did not trigger "Hostile Spotted" message, did not make X-Com agents fire at them, and did not fire at X-Com-anyone etc.<br>
 
The only way to complete the mission was to knockout one unit (anyone) with stun (any method) or to make one unit (agent or techie) escape via the access lift. The score at the end was '''0''' but all items were recovered.<br>
 
TESTED: used Apoc'd 3.06c to force a neutral to raid X-Com building. The situation was identical as above. Soo... being raided by neutrals is a thing!<br>
 
I'd claim this is a glitch and opposed to a bug.

* place new 200% title bar exactly at top <u>right</u> side somewhere without touching blue area of the pic. This is your reference point to line up the content pic.
 
* Zoom in to have pixel-perfect cuts.
 
* cut pedia pic to remove any colour from edge. Cut underneath title bar - it is not needed. Cut partial section to keep as much as the background intact.
 
* paste this large content pic lower but still on the same <u>left</u> side and exactly lined up with the right side's ''new 200% title bar'''s lowest point (the reference point).
 
* paste once again 'new 200% title bar' into top <u>left</u>.
