TOD2M6 Gunboat visible in Briefing Map Screen

[Kevin Greenhill]

During the briefing a gunboat icon is visible in the top-right hand corner of the map; it’s not visible in XW94, and whilst the title of ‘ambush at cron’s drift' is probably a spoiler it’s probably intended that you don’t know what’s about to bounce you the first time you play the mission?

This issue originates from the original game having a narrower aspect ratio of the map due to the text area being three lines instead of two, which deviates from how it’s rendered in XWVM.
TBC how to remedy this, potentially via mission sidecars, since the gunboat shouldn’t be a visible craft in the briefing anyway as a best practice (rather than just relying on map visual area).

Fix applied in development for this issue. Briefing map now takes into account original page sizing, so if an original briefing specifies 3 lines, XWVM will approximate the same behaviour.

Marking this as resolved, since the change has been included in the latest Alpha release. -Dez
