Zones and exclusion zones

Tue Feb 27, 2007 7:12 am by flybyu

Question I have is do oyu have to have flags in a zone?

Also I have an exclusion zone for a mine field but it is not working what do I need to change.

[zone
nickname = Zone_BI03_rogue_minefield
ids_name = 261233
pos = 26698, 0, -27454
shape = SPHERE
size = 10000
property_flags = 4132
ids_info = 0
visit = 32
sort = 99.500000
Music = zone_field_mine

[zone
nickname = Zone_BI03_rogue_Exclusion_007
pos = 27166, 0, -27667
shape = SPHERE
size = 5000
property_flags = 65536
visit = 128
sort = 99.500000

Nothing, you need to add the exclusion zone into the minefield ini in your asteroids folder

[Exclusion Zones
exclusion = Zone_BI03_rogue_Exclusion_007
exclude_billboards = 1

I'm assuming you want an area devoid of mines

Thanks Gibbon I was going nuts trying to figure this out. I guess I forgot about that.

How do I get Exclusion Zones in Nebula Then? I can do it in asteroid fields but how do I clear a little section of the nebula so the Fog is gone in that area?

That's a bit more complicated. You can create bubbles of fog free space in a nebula by doing the following, create an exclusion zone as normal in your system ini, then goto the NEBULA folder and find the relevant nebula ini you want to edit, then add these lines

[Exclusion Zones
exclusion = Zone_your_exclusion_name
fog_far = 7500.000000 <----------------------- Size of the fog free area
zone_shell = solar\nebula\plain_inner_sphere.3db
shell_scalar = 1.000000
max_alpha = 0.500000 <---------------- Fog free area brightness
exclusion_tint = 180, 105, 255 <------------------ Colour of fog free area

That should do the trick

There are other effects you can add by changing the entry in the zone_shell line so it references a different effect for the inner shell by changing the 3db reference to this one, generic_exclusion.3db. There might be some more of these somewhere, not found anymore yet.
