Example Visage:

Visages are the most fun part, they define how something looks, including animations and particles.

Basic wormhole:

file: data\visages\wormholes\warp0-0-0.xml

typeid 1 = Indexed Visage - used for most non-ship visages. An indexed visage will take the visage number you give it,
and look for the image on the client side at the location img\sobtype\sobtype#.png - for example an asteroid with indexedvisage(2)
will look for the image in img\asteroid\asteroid2.png

<VISAGE typeid="1">
  <!-- The following tag defines the appearence of the object during 0 and 7500 milliseconds, then resets at 15000 milliseconds. -->
  <!-- In that time period, the image is scaled (80% to 100%) and changes color from white (or no color change) to a transparent, light blue -->
  <ANIMATRIX startTime="0" duration="7500" startSize="0.80" endSize="1.0" rotation="0.0" loop="15000" startColor="ffffffff" 
             endColor="bbbbbbff" offx="0" offy="0" endx="0" endy="0" angle="0.0"/>
 <!-- in the time between 7500 and 15000 milliseconds, the image shrinks (100% to 80%) and changes its color from a transparent, light blue to white again -->


  <ANIMATRIX startTime="7500" duration="7500" startSize="1.0" endSize="0.80" rotation="0.0" loop="15000" startColor="bbbbbbff" 
             endColor="ffffffff" offx="0" offy="0" endx="0" endy="0" angle="0.0"/>

  <FACEPLATE>0</FACEPLATE>
</VISAGE>

Complex wormhole (Red Photon Research Entry Way to Red Photon Research Complex):

typeid 6 = Composite Visage - This is a combined visage, this means you add multiple visages into the same visage and they will
 all get drawn.

typeid 7 = Named Visage - You can pass a specific path location to this type of visage. For example if for some reason you wanted
a base to use a sun graphic, you could give it a named visage with the tag <NAME>Sun/Sun2.png</NAME> and it would use that
graphic instead. You can also put a <MOD> tag on this type of visage for the same effect as a mod visage.
