'''Map coordinates''', seen in [[Debug mode]] with the [[HUD#Removing_the_Local_Player_Pos|Local Player Pos HUD display]] allows the moder to find out where [[Mod:Adding new items|items can be placed]] in a modified [[Dead Rising 2]] game. 
|}

The floor is ''around'' .1 less than what is shown on the Local Player Pos for Chuck. 

For example, 
* the display shows -1.1 height of chuck 
* to place items on the floor at the same location, the moder would enter -1.0.

==Rotation and coordinates ==
===Rotation===
====Rotation screenshots====
:''For the old attempt to explain see: [[mod:coordinates/Hummer|Hummer coordinates]]''

; First coordinate of four
[[ File:Dead_rising_first_coordinate_of_four.png|500px|center]]
; Second coordinate of four
[[File:Dead rising rotation second number.png|500px|center]]
; Third coordinate of four
[[File:Dead rising third coordinate of four.png|500px|center]]
;Fourth coordinate of four

==== Coordinate numbers can be negative and decimals ====
Coordinate numbers can be negative.

Coordinates can also be decimals, for example: (-.708,.43,1,0)

Any number above 3 is recognized as 3. 

Any number below -3 is recognized as -3.

0,0,0,0 displays the default rotation of the item, but  no other item in the txt file after this file is displayed.

[[ File:Dead rising rotation third number fourth number is zero.jpg|400px|right]]
* If the fourth number is zero or is missing with only three number total, it overrides the first, second or third number and the rotation is always the same.

===Coordinates===
* Location = "x-coordinate, y-coordinate, z-coordinate" 
* x coordinate: vertical placement (On the map right to left, east to west)
* y coordinate: altitude (lower to higher)  
* Z coordinate: horizontal placement (On the map down to up, south to north)

==Coordinates of all stores areas and items ==

===How to find coordinates of stores and areas===
In datafile.big is the .txt files for each area and EVERY item that Chuck and other characters can interact with.

As Chuck walks into an area, the [[HUD]] ([[Mod:HUD#What_each_file_does|HUD_Worldlocation.txt]]) tells the player  the name of the location.

For example, in the food court, when chuck walks into Cheesecake Mania the coding in [b]food_barn.txt[/b] indicates when the HUD at the bottom left of the screen should display "Cheesecake Mania": 

<pre>cPolygonLarge CheesecakeMania_Box
{
	Height = "4.0"
	NumVertex = "7"
	Text = "900"
	Vertex0 = "80.226,-1.5,-252.041"
	Vertex1 = "79.679,-1.5,-251.814"
	Vertex2 = "80.785,-1.5,-248.518"  
	Vertex3 = "71.903,-1.5,-245.855"  
	Vertex4 = "66.369,-1.5,-249.022"
	Vertex5 = "64.057,-1.5,-257.108"
	Vertex6 = "77.901,-1.5,-261.493"  
}
</pre>

The '''Vertex''' locations are the coordinates/boundaries of the store. There are 7 corners in Cheesecake Mania. 

'''Text = "900"''' is the text "Cheesecake Mania" which is display on the HUD.

If graphed, these points can show the exact parameter of an area.
===Excel coordinates of all areas===
[[:File:Fortune City coordinates.xls|Excel file and map of all areas]]

Files are found in text files in data/datafile.big for example: 
* [[Americana Casino]] coordinates are found in data/datafile.big/americana_casino.txt


In [[Dead Rising 2]] coordinates of the [[arena]] backstage are found at PC file data/datafile.big/gs_biketutorial.txt. Several items which are not usually in a normal game are found on this map. [[Off the Record]] does not have this file.

For Off the Record's [[Uranus Zone]], the file is data/datafile.big/theme_park.txt

== Waypoint files ==
Every area has a waypoint file, located in data/datafile.big. These files include: 
# the full coordinates of the area
# save points
# teleport to other areas

===Save point===
The waypoint creates a save point, for example in data/datafile.big/waypoint_americana_casino.txt one of the urinals in [[Americana Casino]] where [[Chuck the Role Model]] takes place. 

<pre>cTriggerVolume SaveUrinal1
{
	ActionActorRotation = "-0.829"
	ActionPoint = "-457.450,-4.725,-22.941"
	ActionType = "4"
	AnimationChooser = "1"
	DisplayName = "55094"
	Height = "2.0"
	InteractButton = "true"
	IsStatic = ""
	ItemName = ""
	Level = "LEVEL_AMERICANA_CASINO"
	Location = "-458.192,-3.716,-22.420"
	Radius = "2"
	Rotation = "0,0,0,1"
	Vertex1 = "-1,0,1"
	Vertex2 = "1,0,1"
	Vertex3 = "1,0,-1"
	Vertex4 = "-1,0,-1"
}</pre>
===Teleport locations===
The waypoint teleports Chuck to a new area, for example in data/datafile.big/waypoint_americana_casino.txt is the following:

<pre>cTriggerVolume ParadiseWalk
{
	ActionType = "3"
	DisplayName = "847"
	Height = "2.0"
	InteractButton = "true"
	InteractionRadius = "3"
	ItemName = "South Strip"
	Level = "LEVEL_FORTUNE_EXTERIOR"
	LevelSpawnPoint = "EntryAmericanaCasino"
	Location = "-294.952,-3.342,-0.124"
	Radius = "11"
	Rotation = "0,0,0,1"
	Vertex1 = "-1,0,1"
	Vertex2 = "1,0,1"
	Vertex3 = "1,0,-1"
	Vertex4 = "-1,0,-1"
}
</pre>

There are also spawn points in each individual text file for each area.


===cWaypoint SURV===
The waypoint files such as, data/datafile.big/waypoint_americana_casino.txt 

cWaypoint SURV... has points in the entire area, including all the stores inside. 

[[File:Dead rising with waypoints.jpg|center|600px|thumb|[[Slot Ranch Casino]] and [[Food Court (Dead Rising 2)|Food Court]] in Food Barn, with cWaypoint SURV points]]


It is uncertain what this points are used for. For example here is one of hundreds of points for Royal Flush Plaza:

<pre>cWaypoint SURV313
{
	Location = "-87.90,6.38,-47.81"
	Name = "SURV"
	Type = "0"
}

</pre>
