Cloaked mexes' radii show up on the F4 metal map.

I know normal mexes' radii appear. But in this particular case, it was a cloaked mex near my defence line. I fired on the metal spot a few times, but it wasn't placed directly on the metal; the F4 map enabled me to find it, though, and force-fire a Gaat gun on it.

Yes, these things keep popping up from nowhere when you modify some part of the spring code that interacts with another one.. boom.

Now you know how microsoft coders feel like when working with windows ;)

This has never been fixed in between though.

It's a problem in the underlying design, making it hard to fix, unless the code is made either 1) much slower 2) much more memory hungry or 3) the metalmap view is disabled totally.

But the last one would make it a lot harder to find metal spots and anoy a lot in maps like castles.

I have just discovered something similar.

The F2 accessibility view reveals enemy buildings too. At least in water.

Are you sure you tested that with .cheat off? Because it's normal it reveals enemy buildings if cheating is on..
