MapClean 3.2 has been released!
Subject description: Me, not green, but seen! There is no place to hide!
Hello everyone! G-E has announced a new version of MapClean called MapClean 3.2. For those unfamiliar with it, MapClean is a TCL script designed to clean the map files from Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge from junk by removing/altering undesired countries, tags, and sections, taking into account if it is a mission or a skirmish map. Here is what we know about MapClean 3.2:

MAPCLEAN 3.2...
Big update here.
First I worked on making a fix for invisible-to-FA2 infantry on the map, but this expanded to doing proper range checks on the infantry positions. The FA2 option of this feature reduces the valid infantry positions from 0,2,3,4 to 0,2,3, and can be toggled via a new setting in mapclean.cfg under [Options]. The FA2 limitation is made optional as other map editors don't have this bug, and in the future FA2sp might fix this.
After all the testing, this was followed up by a similar overlapped unit/aircraft check. This one is a little simpler in that it just removes whatever overlaps an earlier unit. The caveat here is that the overlap check stays within the unit class, so an infantry can still overlap with a vehicle or an aircraft, but a vehicle cannot overlap an aircraft, and they can all overlap buildings.
For a detailed analysis of the map before or after cleaning, I'll refer you to use the MISTEST script.
