Win/deathzone?

[pie goes moo]

I was wondering how to change the appearance of a zone. Like more tilted, different pic, etc.

you can't, they are coded in the source code.

There are some local settings you can apply on 0.2.8.3_x, but they affect ALL zones. And, of course, on the trunk, you have those arbitrary shape things.

Pie, I guess you can play around with these if you have a recent client.

Code: Select all

ZONE_ALPHA                   Transparency factor for zone rendering. 1.0 gives full strength.
ZONE_ALPHA_TOGGLE            This is XORd with ALPHA_BLEND to determine the way to draw zones
ZONE_BOTTOM                  Where to put the zone along the Z axis. Default is 0.0
ZONE_HEIGHT                  The zone segments' height. Default is 5.0
ZONE_SEGMENTS                How many segments the zone is formed with. Default is 11
ZONE_SEG_LENGTH              The rendered percentual of every segment. Default is .5

Sine, I saw how the zones were tilted in your screenshot of the racing map. How do you do that?

Tilted? Which shot? Where?

That screenshot.

That screenshot.

It looks like the "tilting" you are referring to is just the camera angle making the top of the zone appear wider than the bottom. There is no trick here; no magic settings. Just camera perspective. But if you simply must know my favorite zone settings, then try these:

Code: Select all

ZONE_ALPHA .2
ZONE_HEIGHT 3
ZONE_SEGMENTS 16
ZONE_SEG_LENGTH .9

So, um, good luck with whatever it is you're trying to do. Have a nice day.

nice zone settings sine! I am blatantly stealing them! FTW!
