Spring RTS Engine

Well i had the view distant extremly high for nice screenshots.

I had a idea,

Perhaps you can make it so we can define a texture too? That would be awesome ===)

Yeah, that'd be brilliant. At the very least if we could define the colour...

we can define the color!

And you can use a texture, with like... two lines of code, to define the blending method and the texture.

The real problem with this is that it renders very slowly if you use enough layers for a smooth gradient, due to clipping and blending layers. I dunno whether there's a solution for that- maybe build a display list where intersections between hill edges and the fog are adjusted properly, and then render the fog in sectors, so that you're only rendering the fog within the POV? It'd result in a lot higher polycount, but I am thinking that's not the problem, it's all of the clipping and z-ordering.

But the settings I used on the World Builder demo map, for example, ran very slowly on older hardware- blending is apparently very expensive. I don't have a solution for that at present

Can u plz add them, its only 2 lines of code!

Here ya go. Turned out to be a little more than two lines, I forgot about having to set the texture coordinates, etc., and I cleaned up a few things.

what happend to the picture, lol

Whoops. There ya go.

better:)
i still wonder what happend

I once made a configuration for this gadget that looks like the fog in this image:

I killed a man once too...

I once killed two men...

I once killed math.huge men...

I tried the widget in last user attachment (this post), but I have a problem with the fog tint changing with tiny camera angle change:



I don't even know if this the last widget as it is very unclear where to get the latest version of the ground fog widget.

Where can i get a sample of FogTex.tga? I think filename should be camera_ground_fog.lua :)

NECCCRROOOO!!!!

necro usually requires about a year to be dead enough for zombification.

Anyway, thanks for the bump, none of my questions were answered.

If people release here widgets a thread can not be considered as necro. It is a support thread for current widget until forum administrator(s) decide to make s separate subforum for released widgets.
