== General Information ==

There's a map for UFO even smaller than the [[Small Scout]]! Only it doesn't appear in the game.

No idea what its use was supposed to be, but it goes from "horribly cramped" to "painfully-to-look cramped". It's one thing to shoot them with incendiary munition, and another to stuff them in folding undercarriage and leave there. Ahem.

== How to use ==
To use the map UFO1B in OpenXCom you'll need renamed copies of [[Small Scout]] entries in "ufos:" and "alienDeployments:" sections and a custom single-tile data set. The former have to be modified like this:
<code> battlescapeTerrainData:
name: UFO1B
mapDataSets:
- BLANK1
- UFO1
- BLANKS
mapBlocks:
- name: UFO1B
width: 2
length: 2
</code>
Tile indices have correct relative positions, but are misplaced by 1, and would be drawn incorrectly. To fix this you'll also need a single-tile data set in TERRAIN. I called it BLANK1.MCD, because it's a copy of the first half (62 bytes) of BLANKS.MCD, while BLANK1.PCK and BLANK1.TAB can be simple copies of respective BLANKS files. <br />
This may cause some obscure bugs, but unlikely - the host terrain already has BLANKS for both normal uses. <br />
If you know a way to automatically replace tile indices, that would be better, but this works. Unfortunately, it's not so easy with UFO_000 and UFO_010: they apparently use relative positions of the tiles different from release [[MCD]]s (as one can see using [[user:Bomb Bloke|Bomb Bloke]]'s numerical tileset) thus the only way to reanimate those maps is actual replacement - or remake.

Landing legs are the same as in UFO1A, only stand in 2x2 square.
