Cityscape Files

Internal knowledge of some files found within X-Com Apocalypse. If changing any files, make copies of the files before you edit them.

City Maps And Difficulty

It is possible to play any difficulty with a different cityscape! Each difficulty has its own city-map file and building-style file contained within the UFODATA folder. Each pair must be changed together. Make a copy of these ten files somewhere as a backup.
The # denotes a number according to the difficulty: 1 is Novice, 2 is Medium, etc.

CITYMAP# file contains the layout of the city. (Note: these files not have a suffix)
CITYMAP#.BLD contains the name, ownership, and size of the buildings for that particular CITYMAP.

Rename both files by changing the number to what you want, then start a new game. (Eg: playing a superhuman game by using the novice citymap)

The CITYMAP.DAT file contains all the information about the tiles that make up the whole city and is common for all cityscapes.

Other Files

PAL_*.DAT Palette used in Cityscape mode.
ISOBORD*.DAT Images of the interface at the bottom of the Cityscape.
