Battlescape data file manifest (save files)

wglob       - Contains information about the current map. Including the
             size and elevations of the map. May this contain the time,
             troop transport AND type of enemy ship under attack? What about
             the graphic tile sets in use?

             Contains the current 'turn' and which game turn (turn/2).



bglob       - No idea. Has two bytes of some significance, but what I wonder?

geodata     -
misdata     -

routes      - Soldier and AI spawn locations, walk nodes, etc


map         - physical map data (walls, non-interactive objects, etc)

seemap      - visibility of tiles (for fog of war)
sourcemp    - Permanent lightsources (natural lighting, power/entertainment units)
termp       - Temporary lightsources (units, flares)
             (probably other way around termp - sourcemp)


smokbit     - These two files control smoke and fire particles
smokref     -


obpos       - object information file (guns, grenades, medikits, etc)

unitpos     - Another 'unit' table, but also stores the various 'dummy' units
             for large units. Stores basic map location information,
             visibility/mind control status and ownership flags of units.

unitref     - Unit table. Contains information specific to each unit.
             Current stats, experience gathered, mobility modes, etc.




--- MISDAT specific files ---

Possibly not for battlescape:

direct.dat - stores directory name for current game (last loaded game)
code.dat   -
options.dat-  

game_n\unitpos.dat (battlescape file)
14 bytes per entry
80 entries

Note, apparently the unit positions are stored the same way as they are in
unit references. However, for large units, the next three unit positions in
the file will belong to that unit. Also see flags.

How is a large unit recognised? Is there a unique identifier for it?
How does it control the three extra dummy sections?
Where's the flag that tells the game that the unit is under mind control?


MS Edit columns (for C/C++ offsets, just -1)
    1: Y Axis (top = 0, bottom = mapheight -1 )
    2: X Axis (left = 0, right = mapwidth -1 )
    3: Z Axis (bottom-most(3 or 1) - ground, 0 topmost level)

    10: Owner flag
          0 - X-Com  (under your control)
          1 - Alien  (AI controlled -- aggressive against 0 and 2)
          2 - Civilian (AI controlled - neutral, but will reaction fire
                        against 0 and 1)

    11: Unit INFORMATION FLAGS
        NOTE: In order for a deleted unit in unitpos_dat to NOT EXIST,
        this must be set to 0 in addition to removing the unit from unitref
        by setting its sprite to -1.



        Bits: (from right to left, 12345678) (bits probably in reverse, but nevermind)

        8 - 0 = invisible, 1 = Visible
        7 - Unit is alive ? Except for one instance, this seems to be true.
        6 - 1 for large units (only large units have this!)
        5 - } LARGE TERROR UNIT (low bit) (00=q1,01=q2,10=q3,11=q4)
        4 - } LARGE TERROR UNIT (high bit)
        3 - ???? Unused? Small units only perhaps?
        2 - 0 = No Mind Control, 1 = Under Temporary Mind Control (will revert ownership at the end of the turn)
        1 - ????

        (bits 4 and 5 are for large terror units!!)

        (To erase the unit, just set everything to 0)

        If invisible is set for an AI controlled unit, the unit will
        become visible the moment the unit enters your field of vision.

        Note, if you make player controlled units invisible, they
        will appear to YOU as invisible, not the AI. You will remain
        invisible for the rest of the turn.
        Also note, you can shoot your own invisible units - something that's
        not possible for invisible AI controlled units?
