| - | ^ Some coloring/perspective hints/clarifications from David Sundqvist: ^ | ||
| - | | Perspective in Crossfire is based on the XY coordinate system of possible player movements, with a slight tilting of the graphics to allow for greater detail and more interesting graphics, since walls have to be in that perspective to allow joining. X and Y in graphics should correspond to X and Y in the object. Z in the object is represented with 2 Y/X. \\ \\ Keeping perspective consistency is mainly important in fixed objects like buildings, walls and other background. | | ||
| - | | Light should generally come from the right side, so the left side of buildings should be darker or shaded, as needed. | | ||
| - | | Wind is generally coming from the left side, so smoke or other things affected by wind should be traveling towards the right side. | | ||
