very nice, specially those maps regarding TFTD. I've always wanted a map to show the areas for TFTD's countries :) Hobbes 12:22, 11 July 2009 (EDT)

Thanks. mvgulik

Yes, excellent work, thank you. Spike 20:12, 13 July 2009 (EDT)

map patching?
some old residue data from experimenting with the ufo maps.
don't know if there is any intrest in this. also not sure how to best post patch data.
anyway, this is a minor patch suggestion for UFO maps. offsets are for UFO-CE. 

$discr = 'Regional zone patch, Extends face 19(Australasia) downwards to connecting with Antarctica zone, Removing blank regional zone'
$Offset = 0x00074FEC
$Patch = '4803.9F05.D8FF.DF01.0A00'
$Org__ = '4803.9F05.D8FF.8F01.0A00'

$discr = 'Regional zone patch, Extend face 16(South East Asia) to include some more of Indonesia. (not new Guinea part)'
$Offset = 0x00074FCE
$Patch = 'D002.F103.70FE.4F00.0800'
$Org__ = 'D002.4703.70FE.4F00.0800'
;; '* adjust face 17, removing unneeded face overlapping.'
$Offset = 0x00074FD8
$Patch = 'F203.AF04.70FE.D7FF.0800'
$Org__ = '4803.AF04.70FE.D7FF.0800'
FileEdit_Binary($hF_Read, $hF_Write, $Offset, $Patch)

$discr = 'Country zone patch, Swap face 19(CHINA) with face 25(INDIA), Triger INDIA instead of CHINA in zone overlap.'
$Offset = 0x00075144
$Patch = '5002.7802.E8FE.10FF.0900'
$Org__ = '5802.1003.70FE.10FF.0700'

$Offset = 0x00075180
$Patch = '5802.1003.70FE.10FF.0700'
$Org__ = '5002.7802.E8FE.10FF.0900'
FileEdit_Binary($hF_Read, $hF_Write, $Offset, $Patch)

$discr = 'Country zone patch, Swap face 10(RUSSIA) with 21(CHINA), Triger CHINA instead of RUSSIA in zone overlap.'
$Offset = 0x000750EA
$Patch = 'D003.2804.50FE.C0FE.0700'
$Org__ = '5802.2805.80FD.70FE.0100'

$Offset = 0x00075158
$Patch = '5802.2805.80FD.70FE.0100'
$Org__ = 'D003.2804.50FE.C0FE.0700'

I just noticed something interesting on your maps: the Hawaiian Islands are not a part of the US according to the Country map. Is that correct? Hobbes 12:41, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

Yes, thats correct. The Hawaiian Islands are not a part of the USA zone, or any other country zone, and are only covered as part of the Pacific regional zone. --Mvgulik 08:07, 5 October 2009 (EDT)

Hi Mvgulik. :) I have a question about the black area underneath Australasia in the UFO regional zones map. Is that area truly "unmapped" - meaning it doesn't have a region it belongs to, or does it revert to North America because that area is first on the list? --Zombie 22:52, 23 November 2009 (EST)

Correct, black regional area's are truly unmapped ... and (not or ;) ) for these area's the game revert, or defaults to using the first known regional area on the map. North America in the case of UFO because, Yes its the first in the name list.. Side note*2: Assuming same behavior for TFTD, or not fully tested on TFTD. --Mvgulik 04:28, 24 November 2009 (EST) Mmm, removed confusing note*1.

Just to make sure what I tested, as it might turn out that other parts of the game might react differently. I setup a landed UFO case near(or on) a black unmapped area and observed/tracked the UFO after taking off again. Seeing it being registered as UFO activity in North America while it never got close to it. --Mvgulik 04:55, 24 November 2009 (EST)

Cool, so technically unmapped (or black) areas are considered to be North America in UFO because it's first on the list. So in that case, the black area on your map should be recolored yellow. ;) This black area has to be a mapping bug, right? I'd assume the programmers meant it to be Australasia and not unmapped/North America. :) --Zombie 14:40, 24 November 2009 (EST)
