Title: Fog In Bg
Post by: uberx on April 17, 2004, 12:27:00 PM

does anyone know how in damnation they only added fog to the bottom of the level? i want to add fog to only about 50 feet above bloodgulch so the pelican can be hidden a bit? any ideas?

i dont know if this is possible because the fog is just in one place.. sounds like it would be kinda cool tho... sum sky fog.. :D

yeah, but how did they put fog in just one place? if i could figure that out i believe it would be relatively easy

My guess would be some type of zoning like in UT...

No clue, I know that the latest Forerunner Island mod added fog to a single point ti the map, but you'd have to ask him how because I have no clue.

exactly like a cloud! i want to be able to take a banshee up there and have it be not that visible, also it would another element of mysteriousness in a level to have a cloud hanging low overhead

bump, maybe something to do with the bsp?

unfortunantly I dont know anything about modding...other than applying ppf patches, but the fog idea is a really cool idea.

It could also work well on the ground of blood gulch, a thin layer of fog, and just add bushes everywhere...get a Nam type effect going on.

But good luck on figuring it out.

Hey,
You guys are definitely on the right track.
It is defined by zones in the BSP.
...and, yes, obviously Swamp Fox knows how to do it.

I have put the "real fog" from 343GS into a map, bitmaps and all (just fog, no bugs), and I know where to implement the fog tag in the scenario, but unfortunately I can't make it show up anywhere because I don't yet know how to define a zone for it in the BSP.

If I make any progress I'll let you guys know.

In an another article below this one called "xbox BSP editing" or something like that somebody figured out how to look at the different bsp's and stuff, i wonder if we could look at the damnation bsp with the program that guy used...
