Buildings (CTY)

Color Layer

• Color layer is the building exterior day map (windows need not be filled in on this map as they will be replaced with interior shots)
• The alpha channel on the color layer is used for color masking
  • 1-bit
    • Value of 1 is the "black alpha mask"
    • Value of 255 is the "white alpha mask"
  • 8-bit
    • Value of 0 is simply the color map unadulterated
    • Value of 1 is the "black alpha mask"
    • Value of 255 is the "white alpha mask"

Light Layer

• Modulated with the color layer based on time of day
• Assigned in coordination with the color layer tile
• Loaded by the LIGHT appended color bitmap name
• The alpha channel on the light layer controls the window stencil
  • Value of 0 is currently undefined?
  • Values of 1-254 are windows (the higher number stays illuminated throughout the night)
  • Value of 255 designates the building exterior (no stencil)
