CULL (IPL section)
Short description:Create a culling zone
Supported games:GTA 3 GTA VC GTA SA GTA IV
IPL Sections:
2DFX • AUZO • BLOK • CARS • CULL • ENEX • GRGE
INST • JUMP • LINK • LODM • MLO+ • MULT • OCCL
PATH • PICK • RTFX • SLOW • TCYC • VNOD • ZONE

CULL is one of the major IPL sections used in plaintext map placement files. It is used to create zones with different behaviour like mirrors [1] or fixed camera positions. It can also influence the environment like disable rain within the zone.

GTA III / Vice City

Cull zones in GTA III and Vice City series are built by a box which is controlled by various flags[2]. Most of the default cull zones are located in data\maps\cull.ipl for both games. 

CenterX, CenterY, CenterZ, LowerLeftX, LowerLeftY, LowerLeftZ, UpperRightX, UpperRightY, UpperRightZ, Flags, Unknown
Identifier Description
CenterX, CenterY, CenterZ
 A point which defines the center of the box in real world coordinates
LowerLeftX, LowerLeftY, LowerLeftZ
 A point which corresponds to the lower left corner of the box.
UpperRightX, UpperRightY, UpperRightZ
 A point which corresponds to the upper right corner of the box.
Flags
 The behaviour of the cull zone – see below.
Unknown
 Always 0

The first three parameters are odd since placing any values do not have an effect on the zone. They seem to act like identifiers rather than functions.

Flags

Flags are numbers which are build out of a collection of numbers formed by the power of 2-numbers lower than 230. Some are defining various behaviours of the zone. They can be combined by simply adding one lag value to another.

Flag Binary Description
-1
 Enables all flags.
1
0000 0000 0000 0001
 Camera close in into player using closest third-person view camera mode, does not close in if in first person or cinematic mode, camera mode cannot be changed while in the zone
2
0000 0000 0000 0010
 camera remotely placed outside the zone, no control of camera, camera mode cannot be changed while in the zone
4
0000 0000 0000 0100
 Unknown
8
0000 0000 0000 1000
 Rain-free, police helicopter-free zone

San Andreas

San Andreas has two different major formats in the game: 

CenterX, CenterY, CenterZ, Unknown1, WidthY, BottomZ, WidthX, Unknown2, TopZ, Flag, Unknown3

CenterX, CenterY, CenterZ, Unknown1, WidthY, BottomZ, WidthX, Unknown2, TopZ, Flag, Vx, Vy, Vz, Cm

Coordinates are always rounded to the nearest world unit so that they are no floating point values any longer. They are non-decimal integers.

Flags

Not all flags from the previous game are still compatible with San Andreas.
