Fog
05/06/07 at 01:39:08

In Direct3D we all know how fog does not work on 3D Actors and only on Geometry. In the OpenGL Patch by Smirf (woot!) this is MOSTLY fixed...and i say mostly because although Fog now works upon 3D Actors...it does not seem to work on 2D Actors...such as Blood.

If this were fixed in the new patch (or rather an update for OpenGL) that would be nice...and improve the game play

Hey shivaxi, perhaps you can take a pic of a doom moster and show what you mean about 2d actors. I'm not quite shure if this is relevant in the upcomming patch depending on how cool it would look to have doom monsters wrapped up in fog

Its the decals that don't work right with fog in OpenGL. Since Unreal doesn't support decals, this is really a problem with running SP levels in UT using Oldskool (with decals turned on).

just wondering on the subject of decals: will the player be able to turn off specific decals?

imagine my little brother/sister plays the game ocasionally, and the gore setting is set to ultra low, would this affect decals too? EG: crater/footstep decals are present but NOT the bloodsplat decals?

Blooddecals are not in yet, and I don't think that i want to build them in. If people want them, it may come in a future release maybe. So no need to turn sepcific decals on or off and something like that isnt implemented yet.

Also, if this option could 'expand levelinfo'. By this I mean, make it possible for map authors to specify the lifespan/max decal amount; and administrators could choose "Use map-specified amount when available (defaults to X if unavailable)" or "Use X amount always".

[]KAOS[]Casey Ex Member nedm Gender:	Re: Fog Reply #11 - 08/22/07 at 08:50:12 There is a mod in UT that allows you to disable and control the max amount of decals and the time they last. I loved that damn thing, after a few hours of scrweing around in CTF-lavagiant the place looked like a warzone. bullet holes and explosion marks everywhere.

I'd like them to stay INDEFINITELY, but that could obviously be a problem for lower-cpu/bandwidth servers. How about an admin-defined 'expiration' option?

I still want to keep modifications of any kind in the base classes reduced to the absolutely must be. Changings to decals might be possible, since they are new anyway, but the rest...
