Tunnels and Degrade Zones

Configure tunnels, underpasses, and other areas where radio signal will be degraded!

What are Degrade Zones?

Degradation zones are areas like tunnels, underground areas, or mountain valleys that would experience signal loss in a realistic scenario. Custom voice effects will distort the audio more as signal loss increases.

Creating and Modifying Zones

Via Radio Panel

Undo Last Point - Removes the last place point in the 3D zone

Min Z - The minimum Z value (floor height) of the 3D zone

Max Z - The maximum Z value (ceiling height) of the 3D zone

Finish Zone Creation - Finishes the 3D zone and saves to the tunnels.json file

Cancel Zone Creation - Cancels the 3D zone editor and closes the menu

3. View and Remove Configured Zones

Select Edit Degradation Zone in the menu and toggle on Show Zones. All configured zones on the map will be displayed in green. If the config.lua's debug mode is set to true, all zones will also be made visible.
