Offset 7: looks like a visibility flag. It is set to 1 when the SEEMAP.DAT entry of the tile indicates that the content of the ground has been seen (bit 3). Anyone can confirm the theory?

If you set it to 1 for an out of sight smoke cloud, it'll remain unseen until your soldiers spot it.

By memory, if you set it to 0 for a cloud that should otherwise be visible, it won't appear.

I checked the cloud generated by a just-crashed UFO and all records were set to 0.

So it seems likely to me that it is a indeed a visibility flag. :)

Offset 5

According code, this value increased when number of explosions happened around. new_density=summarized_density/overlaps-1 and after these calculations overlaps value nulled.--Volutar 10:35, 23 February 2011 (EST)
