Fixing Navezgane bridges (and more), trying to modify existing prefabs

Guys I know this might not be related, but I see you might know, I cannot create thread atm for I just joined but does somebody know how I could create a "colored" area on my map to make it the spawn area....like in purple or something...can I paint on it or something ?
You could create a 10x20x1 concrete slab and paint it purple. Run around the slab and grab a handful of coordinates. Coordinates are read

E/W, height, NS. Go into spawnpoints.xml in the map you are editing and replace the entries with the coordinates you got from the slab and replace them. Might also back the file up first in case its gets boned up. If the map isnt reveled you obv wont see it on map, but it will otherwise show up like any other prefab.

 
Thank you !!

Thx this was one of the way I tought......but wasnt too sure if there was a way to simply grab the map from the map folder and put it in paint then paint an area of it and replace it...

but I think I will do what you said because altought I tought about it....I never did think about painting them the color I want which is smart, thx a lot !!! I already did place spawnpoint, but it's only because I want to say in my server (no killing in this zone).

Server is "7DTD Quebec" if ever :) I Configured it with RAT also and some stuff, no mods but modified some XML's and got Alloc's Fixes and also Bad Company (BC editor), I expanded the inventory also, PVP, Lose only Toolbelt so you dont have to run and get all your material back, OR grabbed them and have to place things in inventory while a dozen zombies are there, you can go on longer trips also. Kill everyone, zombies are Walk all the time and jog on blood moon, a very enjoyable setting :)

All are welcome, Very stable !

Thanks for the invite, I will stop modding and play again at some point lol. For my players on the last server, I did something similar where the players wake up next to a hospital bed in a 5x5x5 concrete room with a steel door that faces out and away from the prefab, which is square and has 5-20 similar spawn rooms, all with doors facing outward. I placed a large square area of gravel around it and told my guys no killing inside the gravel. I had another one where we put in a trader and walled the whole thing with bedrock, everyone got their own mini starting base as well as a place where i let them keep end game items and for storing stuff to carry over to next map.

Im from the 28 days later school of run all the time zombies and compensate this by lowering req and craft costs for making ammo usually.

 
I found out how to use prefab and how to level terrain and stuff with it....but I spawned a prefab in the air and it crashed my server but thats not important since I have a backup engine, was running 5 minute later, but I was wondering....if I build that slab underground and paint it purple ? It won't show on map right ?, so I would have to do a floor like this somewhere I guess.....but I logged into another server which had defined area in purple but it was still the wood....they manage to paint a transparent purple highlight.....I wonder if it was a mod or simply a file hack (modify it)....I'll check into it, if I find out I'll let you all know :)

Custom biome maybe? Either that or a custom Rad zone, sorta beyond me there, seen them used but never used myself.
