Introduction

A zone is an area in the game used to show the text of the zone being entered, to load islands, and to create locations to spawn specific vehicles and pedestrians. It is controlled by .zon files.

Structure

All the .zon files start with a section identifier and ends with the keyword "end", both in a single line.

Example: 

zone
...
end

GTA3

Gta3.zon

The gta3.zon controls the text of the zone that shows up in the game as you enter a new zone. The main.scm uses this to check if you are in the zone.
Format:

Type
Type of zone

The bottom left corner of the zone
X2, Y2, Z2
The top right corner of the zone
Island
The island number

The gta3.zon can be viewed through KEd but it can be only edited by hand. The main.scm uses this file so you cannot just delete the lines in the file to prevent the zone’s text from popping up in the game without editing the main.scm.

Map.zon

The map.zon controls the loading of an entire island as you travel from one island to another. It tells the game where to load.
Format:
