	• POLAR13 – nodes on water set Flying, added North Exit to the only "Any" node, and two links for flying units.		• POLAR13 – nodes on water set Flying, added North Exit to the only "Any" node, and two links for flying units.

			= TFTD Routes Fixes =

			My fixes to XCom: TFTD routes: [[File:Tftd_routes.zip]]

			As for now, the package contains only maps and routes of:

			• Alien subs,

			• Xcom ships,

			• Alien Artifact Site (both phases),

			• Alien Base (both phases),

			• Cargo Ship.


			Basic premises:

			1. Exits (N/S/W/E) should exist on all terrain and subs maps (in the original game, they do not exist on sub maps, except UFO04 and UFO05).

			2. A sufficient number of spawn nodes for all units (including large ones) must exist on maps. In the unmodified game there are too few of them.

			3. If a given node is marked "Small", then all links going from it and coming to it may not be marked for "Any" units.

			4. Nodes on eastern and southern borders of the map cannot be marked "Any", they are for small units only. The only exception is NW part of Hangars.

			5. Isolated not-spawn nodes should be deleted or linked to others to make a net.

			Notice: TFTD is known for a huge number of programmers' bugs and errors. There is so few spawn points on some maps in the unmodified game that some alien units cannot be rendered at all. And there is almost no places for large Aliens.

			This should not be so. The number of spawn nodes for Xcom units should not be less than 26 (the highest number of soldiers in the ship with maximal capacity). The number of spawn nodes for non-Xcom units should exceed their maximal number ca. 1.5 - 3 times. Only then they will be posiotioned randomly! As the maximal number of them is 40, there sould not be less than 60 spawn nodes on the whole battlescape. Note that this is the number of expected spawn nodes on maps like CARGO01. In the original game there is only 24 spawn nodes there, so more than twice as much as there should.

			This is why some of RMP files have been changed drastically.

			Other routes fixes:

			• Links between nodes have been checked if set for proper distances (and corrected if necessary).

			• UFO04 - One (no spawn) node added to make a ring round the sub. A link added to let aliens use the stairs. A link 2-14 through a wall has been removed.

			• UFO05 – Two nodes added on Level 3 for symmetry.

			• UFO06 – Two nodes moved in order to make place for large units to spawn. 5 nodes for spawning large units and a path for them to exit the sub has been prepared. No more immobile Xarquids in walls and stairs!

			• UFO07 – Added nodes in unused places of the sub. 8 nodes for spawning large units and a path for them to exit the sub has been prepared.

			• GRUNGE04 – In the unmodified game there is only 11 Xcom spawn points in the alien colony. It is too little – note that in Alien Base there is 14 Xcom spawn points in one access module, and in UFO:EU there is 18 Xcom spawn points in one module. The unmodified map of Cargo Ship offers 26 nodes for XCom. Now, thanks to 2 additional Xcom spawn points, it is possible to have the maximum number of 26 Xcom units in the alien colony (if there are two access modules in it).

			• ALART: 07, 09, 10, 11 – More spawn nodes added in order to give a chance for all aliens to appear.

			• GRUNGE: 01, 03, 06, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 – More spawn nodes added in order to give a chance for all aliens to appear.

			• Alien Base (ENTRY, A_BASE) – Spawn nodes not changed as there is enough of them, but added some links and not-spawn nodes in hidden places. Spawn net for commanders in the synomium room is isolated like in the unmodified game in order to prevent them from moving out (unless panicked).

			• CARGO: 01, 02 – The total number of spawn points increased very much. No more lacking Triscenes!


			MAP fixes

			Most changes have no visible effect but may correct subtle bugs like in lines of sight.

			• ALART: 07, 09, 10, 11 - Restored missing ground tiles.

			• ALART10 – In the NW corner of the pyramid (lev1), corrected the western wall which was mistaken as contents; removed unnecessary pillars (as contents) from the other corners (cf. other pyramids on ALART maps).

			• GRUNGE - Various ground titles and walls corrected (especially GRUNGE15 where lots of walls are missing in the original file). The alternative map of Synomium (probably never being used by the game) has also been corrected (walls have been restored on the place of buggy doors).

			• ENTRY03 – Repaired the alien structure, level 2 (an incorrectly placed northern wall).

			• A_BASE – Some corners are no longer impassable. 01 – The lift between 1 and 2 level repaired. 03, 05, 09, 11, 13, 14 – holes in the ground repaired.


			MORE TO COME!

	~~In most~~ maps~~: Links between spawn points for small units are also accessible only for small units~~.		THESE ARE FIXES to the Combo Patch! They may not work with an unmodified version of the game. All maps have been checked.

	~~Besides~~:		Basic premises:

	~~UFO_110 -~~ links ~~between nodes 0~~ and ~~10 as well as between 0 and 3 are bidirectional again~~.		1. If a given node is marked "Small", then all links going from it and coming to it may not be marked for "Any" units.

	~~Plus some minor edits~~.		3. Additional nodes for Aliens have been added to Access Lift.

			4. Isolated nodes on XBASE_20 and PLANE have been deleted.

			Other changes:

			• All links between nodes have been checked if set for proper distances (and corrected if necessary).

			• UFO_110 - links between nodes 0 and 10 as well as between 0 and 3 are bidirectional again.

			• UFO_130 - link from 13 to 25 nodes have been changed from FlyingLarge to Flying.

			• UFO_150 - the unnecessary pillar on the level 2 has been removed.

			• MARS00, MARS01 - existing nodes (for "Any" units) converted to spawn ones (because there is little spawn nodes for large units in Cydonia).

			• UBASE_15, CULTA14 - one of the nodes has been moved by one square in order to give way for large units.

			• DESERT: 03, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11; FOREST: 09, 10, 11; MOUNT: 05, 06, 07, 08, 10, 11, 12 - because of converting southern and eastern nodes to "Small", East and South Exits (also for large units) have been added to other nodes.

			• CULTA16 - links added on Level 2 (they seemed to have existed and next removed).

			• MOUNT04 - another West Exit added (as the existing one is set Small).

			• POLAR12 – nodes on water set Flying, added West Exit to the only "Any" node, and one link for flying units.

			• POLAR13 – nodes on water set Flying, added North Exit to the only "Any" node, and two links for flying units.
