Re-enabling in FA2/YR

RA2 has an overlay type that is invisible in-game (so far I have only seen it in Big Apple of RA2, near Allied War Factory at the bottem of the map), and blocks construction:

Code:

[RUBBLE_OVERLAY]
LegalTarget=false
Name=SYSTEM OVERLAY !! DO NOT USE
Image=SROCK01
;Land=Rock
RadarColor=64,64,64
NoUseTileLandType=true
DrawFlat=true
IsRubble=yes

However, this overlay is not selectable in FinalAlert, only placeable manually. I haven't found anywhere where you can enable or disable overlay types. Does anyone know how I can enable it for selection in the Overlay & Special section?

AFAIK, it has no use other than being used by the game for the rubble system. Not obvious enough? #Tongue

That wasn't the question. I want it to be enabled so I can place it at specific points to make it impossible to expand your base for example.
You can't build on rubble, this is its overlay.

As krow said it's a dummy overlay needed for the rubble logic to work, it shouldn't be used or edited.

Add DisplayAllOverlay=Yes to the [Debug] section in FAData.ini & You'll get a list of all the overlays in the game.

Well yes, but that same dummy overlay is also used in Big Apple mission for Soviet RA2. It caused no problems there, neither in my maps where I manually added them.

DisplayAllOverlay seems to be not working, but I'll try it anyway
