Navigating Terrain Using the LiDAR Point-Cloud Grid

Identifying Surfaces and Elevations

Cyberspace Shaders replaces standard textures with glowing points and neon scanlines. Traversing terrain requires reading these abstract visual cues:

  • Block Edges: Look for dense concentrations of bright neon points. Tight clusters of dots mark block borders, steep cliffs, and elevation steps.
  • Flat Pathways: Uniform horizontal grid lines represent flat ground, allowing you to trace safe walking routes across open terrain.
  • Outlines and Silhouettes: Caves, vertical walls, and structures stand out as distinct wireframe shapes against the void.

Managing Movement in the Dark Grid

Because the pack preserves a dark background across distant terrain, use the built-in proximity illumination to move safely:

1. Move forward at a steady pace to let the local visibility area reveal upcoming terrain details around your character.

2. Keep an eye on the surrounding darkness for sudden breaks or drop-offs in the neon scanline pattern.

3. Use the contrast between the dark background and nearby glowing dots to judge jump distances across gaps and ravines.
